... few have successfully have left the board.
I suspect that those who have stopped posting are still lurking, if they have access.
One of those lurkers once said that " a public forum left to itself will sink to the level of the most decadent contributor"(a gross misquote but accurate in theme)
No one knows the depths of the darkness and despair in the people posting here.
People come here from all over the world!
There are professionals to semihomeless, if not homeless and using the public library computers. There are clergy to satan worshippers, the most morally upright to child molestors, from the gentle, to the serial killer, on and on.
How can you not be shocked by the me'lange of posting content here!
That next person who you vex here at CHMB could very well have the capability to end your life; or pray for your well-being.
This is the state of mankind people, and for the most part we are a group that has suffered horribly, which I'm sure has added to the percentage of nuerotic posters, like Jack or Drummer :^)(whom I'd take a bullet for (but only a flesh wound and not in the leg...okay maybe I wouldn't))
Stop being so shocked at the depravity of mankind here people.
I dare you to try not coming back.
love,
Phil(hub)
