At one time or another, Pyx_e has called most of the people on the Ship 'Fucktard', yet we still love him. I wonder why?

I once had a piece of software on my computer that dialled phone numbers for you. I thought I'd dialled a well-known friend and greeted him thusly:

"hello, you old drunk cunt"

Unfortunately, I'd clicked on the next line down and got through to one of the churchwardens.

I uninstalled the software.

I don't think that I've ever said that, and anyhow, it's not really true. To name a popular example, I do care about Yorick. However, my emotional attachment to "online people" will always remain fairly limited. That's correct.

Yep, meeting real people in real life can make real online relationships. But that does not mean that this forum and its members suddenly feel the pull of gravity.

Disagreed completely. For one thing, about how much you know a person online: Yes one can create fake identities. They tend to only last so long though. I may have mentioned before on the ship that on a role-playing forum where such things were acceptable, I (female) decided to play a male who was RPing a male character. I lasted for years, but eventually the regulars all figured out.


I think it depends more on the value you place on the existence of this site and its various boards. And that can be more - or less - depending on how one feels at a particular time. I've been here since - what - 2005 - yes, I've met people IRL, have had ups and downs here. The contributions of posters such as IngoB & Triple Tiara (sadly missed/MIST) (in-joke, if you're reading, TT [Big Grin] ) helped me on my journey into the RCC; those of Psyduck and MadGeo made me question things in another way. I, also, was taken in by the Curious Buddhist troll (mainly one of his/her sub-trolls masquering as a Jewish rabbi) Felt like an idiot, like many of us, came to realise that, actually, it was WAAAY more to our credit that we held out our arms to this apparently suffering person than that we were fooled by some sad git. AFAIC, it does not fucking matter that we are not all face-to-face (can't be, given the geographics) - those of us who are regular posters DO inter-act on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. Many *families* do less.

@ Gwai - I tried being a male on an MMORPG - called myself *Barry* - got away with it until the other guys started asking me about football [Biased]

It's a failure to YOU. Because you're unable to imagine that anybody else's point of view is valid. Which, ironically, you just quoted.

Some interesting conclusions to distill from this thread:

1. Leo is a cowardly plagiarizing worm that nobody should emulate.

2. Yorick has essentially no reason to be here other than to pucker his own sphincter as publicly as possible. I see now that banning him, when the time comes, will actually be a mercy and he will miss nobody - because he thinks he has met not a single real person.

3. Marvin is a starry-eyed dreamer overflowing with foamy-fluffy empathy.

4. IngoB continues to dominate the realm of empathy-free dehumanizing philosophy. I can't decide whether his photo should be on the steampunk Tarot card for "oversimplified binary thought" or for "utterly incapable of comprehending philosophical modes that differ from his own".

While it's true that I might tend to prefer to have a conversation with Siri over pretty much everybody on this thread, there is still no technology that actually passes a Turing test. Until that happens, almost everything here that isn't bot-mimed or plagiarized is assumed to have been processed by a human brain. EVEN the stuff that is affectation. And, let's face it, so-called "real life" is just as rife with affectation as anything in this virtual realm.

And the reference to the Turing test is extremely pertinent: anything other than mostly-genuine human interaction tends to raise a metaphorical stink in the minds of most people interacting with it. Most people tend to resonate with people who we think are being real with us. Relationships are formed, such as they are. We make of it what we do, and to extrapolate our own truisms on others is idiocy. (I met my wife online, but have never wanted to email any of the girls I picked up in bars. Life's weird like that.)

So, is the information babbled when a subject is given truth serum less true because it's not "how they normally are"? Is a battered wife any less the victim of assault when she assures police that "he's not himself when he's angry"? They're all just altered states, and tend to reveal different truths. There is no single definitive transaction state that is the one true measure of a personality. If you absolutely must correlate all communication with face-to-face situations, just imagine that everything posted online is what everybody is willing to say behind other people's backs - but with a much shorter leak time.

Back to my bunker, to resume ignoring all of you.

That was weak, RooK. I've actually attacked the binary thinking behind turning leo into the epitome of social evil and comprehending philosophical modes is something I do rather well. Stick with the "empathy-free, dehumanizing", that rings truer.

Unsurprisingly, given who made it... [Biased]

But actually, people here are essentially denying the necessity of the resurrection. Whereas I say: sorry, you really do need to go back to meat space, until then it's all up in the air with the fairies.

I deal lightly with the fairies flitting about in the ether of the internet. Many of them hate that. I deal lightly with that as well.

That's why I think the fuss about leo is going a bit OTT. We all have our affectations and leo comes across as very real to me, not despite the things that so annoy others but (partly) because of them. Leo has posted some quite intimate stuff about his childhood which I assume to be true and I therefore choose to cut him a lot of slack. Perhaps he also irritates me less because I don't spend much time in Purg, as a rule. I just wish he'd fess up about the current issue and then we could all move on.

Exactly. I didn't even realise it had a "real meaning" until the Urban Dictionary entry was linked from this thread...

It's just funny. Rude but also ridiculous. Like wankspanner. Or stoatspunk.
Exactly. I didn't even realise it had a "real meaning" until the Urban Dictionary entry was linked from this thread...
And while I do feel greatly edified by knowing that real meaning, it seems less clear to me that it's the insult you intended it to be, Marv. In which case, you could deploy wankspanner, stoatskunk or pissflaps instead.

Nah, it still gets across the level of anger I was feeling. But Yorick has apologised, so it's ancient history now.

I haven't got anything against him, but ...

Hello again, leo. Since you're visiting anyway, do you want to say anything about your plagiarism or is it safe me for me stop checking the thread now?
