There are some days lately when I wonder if I logged on to another website (TOW) by mistake. It just seems that there is a lot of fog speak on here lately that seemed mostly absent not that long ago.

Holy cow!

I just posted the same thought on another thread ("Pep Please.")

It's making me sick, to be honest. When I see those posters, I stop reading the thread, unfortunately.

Hey KM.. in case you missed it.. I wanted to commend you for the hard work you have done.. you are an asset to these boards.
And what do they say... great minds think alike??? or is it , fools never differ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You did? I thought I had missed something....so I went and reread. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Was that what you were trying to say?

mkeverydaycnt....you haven't been here for that long....less than a year....we've had REAL invasions from TOW! The kinds of discussions that have popped up lately....have been repeated many times here.

I agree, Star. This site is for Marriage Building. That means EVERYONE who wants to build their marriages. There is no disclaimer on the main site saying "only BSs who want to rebuild their marriages are welcome here."

When WSs find their way here, they are usually on their first steps to turning their lives around.

I've been here nearly three years and seen lives (including my own) turned around dramatically and yes, I've seen REAL board wars.

The posters I'm thinking about aren't on here saying they are WWs or FWWs looking for help. They haven't asked for any help at all, really. They are just here spouting off their opinions and stirring the pot, big time.

Maybe it's their attitudes I'm responding to... it just seems very TOW.

KM

I believe it's that second one-LOL!

KM,



Some WW's and FWW's log into this site before they know what the he11 they want. I understand their fog-talk is gutt-wrenching to read and process, but IMO, they are looking for others, who have been through similar situations, to lead them down the right path. sometimes this is a very difficult thing to do, because you yourself have been so tragically hurt by a WS. I would encourage everyone on this site to have patience, speak their minds, and be able to know when there is a thread they should not participate in. Sort of like choosing your friends in grade school. You learn who cares for you, and who is going to help you through the tough times. Others who work against you probably shouldn't be your "friends" on this forum. Again, just my opinion. My signature line says it all on how I feel about this very topic.

Thanks for the post. Have a lovely evening,

KJ

Um, you don't have a sig line. Is that the point? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Agreed.

I would like anyone with Soylent in their name to step forward and 'splain...

Thank you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's our own little subtle personal dig at TOW, NBII.

Mine will change back to my "proper" name when the joke has worn thin.

In about 10 minutes I should think.

bwaahahahahaaaa! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Okay, and thank you, Jen! I kinda like it, by the way... it sounds so fantastical! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

SoyentNeak,

Reminds me of a SCIFI movie I say years ago. It was not great but it was sort of catchy.

I believe I understand what is being said. It is NOT WS's showing up here, that is the problem. They are a huge plus on this site. It seems to be people showing up with OPINIONS but no real advice about building or rebuilding marriages. So much time wasted on style when people could be helped with the effort.

I find it very frustrating. And yes there have been board wars with TOW visitors in the past. What a pain.

Must go.

JL

When a poster shows little concern for the feelings of others..
And is all about him/herself and his/her opinions, never reaching out to others, expect for attacking them ..
I have had the urge sometimes to post what a friend of mine has on her cellphone.
When she gets a text message, you hear the voice of master Yoda (from Star Wars) saying:
"Message from the dark side there is !"

But there would be little point, so I don't.
Such people thrive on attention.
If they can't get positive "strokes", they'll go for negative "strokes".

I have seen this happening before on a "baby-site" where I used to post.
When there's a school holiday, some bored students with too much time on their hands showed up saying "I'm 16 and pregnant with twins" etc.
After the school holidays things went back to normal. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I thought our Soylent names were subtle digs at NCWalker! Or were they subtle digs at ourselves, at the behest of NCW? Oh, it's all so confusing!

Anyway, I will not remain soylent for much longer - my MOO, Mother Of Origin, is feeling distinctly undubious.

Also, I thought NCW was referring to the sci-fi movie, but he was talking about the French language.

The Soylent explanation:

And the problem is, we write linearly, but these voices in my head all talk to me at once....

So this one thought, was that Neak is indeed not a person, but a piece of Arpanet code that was still running on some old computer that somebody forgot to shut down. (Probably JLs). Therefore, she is not a person.

And this other thought, that had been hanging around, was that Robby13s accent kind of makes him sound like Mickey Mouse imitating Charleton Heston.

Then, I read the Neak signature line with the explanation of how she wanted to change her name. And it sounded like a cry for help.

So in my short term memory is Moses himself, Neak not being a person, and her crying in despair. Which kind of bled into refuting my claim that she is indeed Arpanet code. I which case she would be a person.

Well Charleton Heston was in a movie called "Soylent Green." A brief synopsis is basically a futuristic society is almost Utopia, and they all eat the government prepared and provide food called Soylent Green. Heston is a reporter? who does some digging and finds out that Soylent Green is indeed made from the bodies of the dead people in this society, natural resources being depleted as they were. He feels it imperative that he informs everyone. So there is an attempt at a gut wrenching scene where Heston is full of angst and shouting to the masses that...

SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE FROM PEOPLE!!!! IT'S PEOPLE!!!!

And there you have it. Heston on the brain, Neak not a person, needing a new name, but seemingly crying out for something: SoylentNeak.

That hole French derivative of salient was just me trying to make myself more believable.

What was really disappointing was how the phenomena seemed to refuse to spread. Only a few of us actually becoming Soylent. Those being Neak, KiwiJ, Dobie and myself. Usually my fervors sweep up a few more than four. Case in point, the limerick fervor, the haiku fervor, and the ever present all the ladies being strangley attracted to and repulsed by my internet persona fervor, the tucktummyville spinoff fervor.

All in all, I am a little disappointed in the Soylent fervor. I thought that would sing, as fervors go. I had hopes it would mature into an actual rampage, but it did not. Thus my efforts to be moderated by the only woman? I love are again thwarted.

I still contend, as I did when the soylent name was attached to neak, that we have finally found a useful purpose for TOWs.

Cure hunger and increase the overall morality of our world.
