A tribute to Ben, may he rest in peace:
Talian, there are many lines of logic. The only reason you subscribe to Eos is because whatever little logic you had in that brain of yours has shriveled up by playing Maple Story profusely. Whereas Eosian lost his social aptitude through the many days of grinding, you appear to have lost the ability to read and think for yourself as an independent being. Again, this could be because you hung around a lot with Eos who most likely ate your brain when you weren't looking. Talian you know what is logical? Having an art thread in the art section. Tallian you know what is illogical? Arguing that a blog is better place for an art thread, rather than placing it in the art section.
Talian, it's great that you can regurgitate 1960 remakes of Eos statements. I can do it as well, "I Am Eos/ I am logical, chronological, and even half robotical/Don't call me maniacal, cause I'll use words like histrionical and ask you to stop throwing hissy fits." Talian, I'm not questioning your particular preference for Eosian's balls. I am simply stating that there are other balls out there for you to take a look at and you shouldn't limit your sycophantic pleasures to only one man. There are a lot of blue balls that need you Talian.
Yes Kaida. Eosian has his arms wide open, ready to hug you and tell you that you're awesome. Kaida, maybe if you actually tried to put yourself in someone else's shoes, you would realize how difficult Eos is being when Throes actually tried to posit an opinion, "Your previous request was... not particularly moving. It's good to see other people waking up and actually participating now but it'd [be] nice to see people focusing on how to make things work best, rather than just complaining about what they don't want." Right Kaida, Eos is being so welcoming. The only thing that is missing from this picture is Eos having a strap-on AK-47 and me being bound and gagged with a blindfold covering my eyes. Eos should just be naked and have his balls flop out and say, "Here Swerve! Come here and suck it!"
The irony with this message is that I'm trying to tell you to look outside of your own pacifistic ego-centrism, "Oh Eos isn't being mean to me! Everything must be dandy!" When the centrism of this message which I purposely excluded, "... exempt the entire forum just for my one thread," is about Eos denying Throes's opinion based on the fact he perceives it to be egotistical and selfish in nature. Kaida, I don't know if you've contributed anything useful to this forum board, but usually posting up art for other people is a service to the community. It would be selfish if Throes kept her art to herself and never shared it with any of us. Or even went to her original art thread and deleted off all her pictures due to Eos being unreasonable. Throes's concern about not being able to concentrate all her updates in one thread is a sign that she cares for the community. Instead of having multiple threads, Throes wants all her art in one place so that it can be easily viewed. I don't know if you are growing up in a Talibanesque regime or if your parents had their genitals cut off and you had to eat them in front of your entire country, but Eos is definitely not "open and friendly" in convential terms.
Rick I have a reason for posting this. I hope that Ben reads this and knows that he isn't alone. He might not log in and read the blog that he posted, so I have to make sure that he gets the message. Not everyone on this forum wants to bend over backwards and when they voice their opinions, they need support. You may not understand this concept, but friends support each other regardless of the consequences. Ben was a great guy and his opinion isn't baseless. It can be distinctly seen through this thread. In addition, Throes got treated pretty poorly in this thread and all she ever wanted was to share her art in the most convenient form possible for the community. I may not have been in love with the guy, but I like Ben. The same thing went with Harrison. Even though both of these guys haven't contributed as much as they used to in the past, they have a distinct flavor that we remember and can recall. In addition, they tried to give something back to the community. In regards to Ben, this is seen through his writings in both blogs and the Shady Tree (yes your 'I just woke up from bed' pictures look cute as well). I stopped coming here because there was no longer a sense of cohesion. The fact that I completely missed the tonality of several previous comments indicates that this forum board is no longer #1 in my priorities list, but that still doesn't mean that I'm going to sit back and watch as the new fad becomes Southperry departures.
Whether or not something is "meaningful" doesn't apply to the fact of organization. If you have a single thread about "Bats" and you have an awesome fact about their wingspan, it doesn't make sense to write a completely new thread about "Bat wingspan" when this comment is better organized under the overall topic of "Bats." If someone was searching for the "Bat" thread, they might miss your thread due to the fact that it would be a small outlier. I have contemplated contributing my own reference posts on basic genetics as everyone can benefit from learning more about science. It doesn't make sense for someone to start a completely new thread on "single nucleotide polymorphisms" alone and many people would ignore it as it doesn't lie in context. The lack of quality in posts is a completely separate issue. Good posts shouldn't try to pull stand-alone acts. Good posts should still function within a thread and help generate better responses in the thread. Everything you post should be worth someone elses time and not just threads alone. If you don't have this mentality, then you are doing a disservice to the community.
