I think it has more to do with the attachment that people feel here. Topics have to be exquisitely chosen so as not to offend anyone, or you instantly encounter the defensiveness typical when one member of a tight-knit group feels threatened. It is what it is, you guys are obviously close friends and that's going to make it difficult to sustain much diversity in the long-run; people who want to hang here will either have to abandon some of their individuality to fit in or they'll just have to find another place to post. I don't think it's either a good or a bad thing, but I think you guys should own it rather than pretend that anyone who gets tired of the Pollyanna version of GL is just a worthless nincompoop whom you're better off without.

This place has amazing visibility for a small forum but still doesn't have anything remotely resembling vibrancy or diversity. The long-term problem with that is that all voluntary social connections eventually erode with time and this place could fade away with them if there isn't more of an effort to accept those who have no interest in the group calendar-type stuff.

I kind of agree with all this. It's hard to act like we did at SBR - most of us came here, to some extent, because we shared the same feeling about SBR. Doesn't make for much variety I s'pose, although if you go through the small list of regulars, there's quite an assortment of top-notch fok-ups.

Also, when a guy like Amby starts posting nothing but slams on our group, he kinda sticks out. He was alone until you and Monkey showed up.

Stick around, you foks.

Not sure I have a point. I guess I understand where the criticism is coming from.
 
ATTN MONKEYFOCKER:


Two Wolves

An old Cherokee chief is teaching his grandson about life:

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."

To some extent, I think AMBy was forced into not liking this place for some of the reasons I laid out. Just from being a casual reader, it was pretty damn obvious that as soon as AMBy stopped making time in his social calendar to hang out with you guys, the hurt feelings manifested as snide comments. You guys even named a smiley after him that was a ball and chain, and I thought that was awfully judgmental and disrespectful to his relationship. It's obvious that something went down between him and Robyn because she can't mention him without being snarky, and I think it all just broke down from there.

I don't have much of a point either, to be honest. I just know that AMBy and I hang out in chat again and get to discuss this stuff away from the GL environment, and we seem to have the same experiences and conclusions relating to it. I get where you guys are coming from too, Herman said it best when he told me that GameLive is one big thread with people talking about themselves and being able to forget that they're grown-ups (paraphrasing here). Maybe it's just time to change the slogan here to "Gamelive - Check your adulthood at the door" and call it a day.
 
Bread, that was some story you just wrote. I liked the story a lot but I don't care for you much.

Been having trouble sleeping of late. Anyway I could borrow Robyn for a bedtime story to help out? Prefer a sensual, fairy tale. That would be wonderful!

Tell Robyn if she starts to hear breathing heavily like Mel Gibson, that means I'm almost at the point of going off. Tell her to hang up unless she wants to hear me snoring.

Bread, if you can accomplish this it will put you in a better position to be liked by the monkey!
