hostility

Remark · Post by **Remark** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:56 pm

First of all, Ugly Doug, you hit the nail on the head...

C.f.Mmmmmm......

Next, the hostility doesn't appear out of nowhere. The threads that catch the most crap (feel free to add to list):

"Why doesn't somebody else do this..."
"You're all doing it wrong..."
"I heard about burning man yesterday and I got a lot of questions..."
"It's not fair..."
"If these people didn't show up, it would be better..."
"Simon won't be my buddy..."

-now to look for a 'Porkchop' hat (or a Shari Lewis hat)

The same reason Garth Brooks just sold out 32 show dates in 20 minutes - Because they can.

Maybe. It can certainly look that way. For the most part, I belive that if you just hang around for a few nasty comments, then you "pass the initiation" and get to play with the rest of us. I don't have any specific evidence at hand to prove this. But I do thry and say it with some frequency, in the hope that people will sit it out for the uncomfortable day.

and just who in the fuck says its worth the effort!?

its obvious the quality is low - if measured by the total number of posts its almost non-existent. people have to want to be part of it for your initiation ritual to work fishy, there has to be some compelling reason its worth it. its not, and that makes it rather pathetic.

you're mistaking not being able to take it with not wanting to be around loosers and assholes.

And there you are on at least one of my on-line friends' lists.

I guess just because I've never been on the receiving end, this forum just feels like the one place people understand me...and my unicorns...

i would like to personally thank all of you for making me feel at at home.

it's so east coast...

bitter arguments about minutae....seething comments over locale and vegetable preference.

the numerous orifices in which one can go stick something.

gosh, this is better than home sometimes.

fuck you all, very much....

Give the man a star. He nailed it. Where do the so-called old timers get the idea that it is a given that the newcomers want their company? We all have our own way of doing things, and I'm not saying that the OP's was wrong. Maybe if I was him, I'd be ready to cut out, too, but for now, I settle for following one simple rule.

"One strike and you're out."

If I see somebody being an asshole to anybody, anywhere, he's off my screen, permanently. Is he an incredible artist, somebody with a million great stories, a rich storehouse of information, something like that? I don't care. I'll get by without those stories, or information, or art, and if I can't, so what? What's Burning Man good for, if it stops being fun?

At that rate, might as well stay home, and be at least a few hundred dollars richer.
