I Am Going To TRY To Make A Point (To All Gamelive Members)

Really? You would leave? I am not saying to sanitize this forum. I just hate to lose ANYONE when if we just think before we type, we can be how we are and not alienate anyone. Oksana, I think you are REAL cool. Maybe I am being sensitive right now, but after all the stuff going on in the world, I am trying to find more compassion. I apologize is this comes off all whiny like.

I think before I type. Do you truly think that there have not been many, many times - especially lately - that I could've jumped in a thread and issued a not so calm strike? I chose not to and erased my posts before hitting submit because I either knew someone else would be able to say what I was going to say much wittier than I would have or I felt like I was just being a bitch and no one needed to see that.

I am the first one to stand up for those being e-gang-banged unnecessarily. I do it over at SBR and I've done it here. Even for you when I don't know you from a hole in the ground.

But you'll notice something about my posting style once you get used to it: If I feel someone is acting in a way to have brought it on themselves, I'll jump in a thread and merely laugh at a particularily funny strike yet say nothing else because I feel that person is deserving of whatever is coming their way.

We all get what we put out. I like it that no one gives a shit about me on here. I'm not one of JJ's flavours of the month, I'm not one of those weirdo chicks who gambles. People don't rush to post after they see me post in a thread. I'm just me. And I know I have to hold my own here. I didn't know anyone on this forum other than xpansive, Nina, Wally and Cougar when I first joined. Most of these guys/gals had been banned or chose to leave SBR after I stopped lurking and registered. So I knew a bit about them but they knew shit about me. But I made the effort. I went back and read every damn thread in this forum, every single one, so I could get to know the people here and ADAPT.

I joined and decided to stay for a reason. I know this is one place where people are basically honest and treat everyone the same.

So yeah, I'd be gone. Not that I'd be particularily missed but it wouldn't be the place that I've grown to love.
 
I have practiced becoming an asshole. I take great pride in delivering a blow that someone gets. Generally everything I post is planned as mentioned there have been many times I have written a spontaneous response only to delete it before posting. I generally lean towards sarcasm, sometimes obvious, sometimes abrasive and sometimes skillful.

That said, I remain one of the most compassionate of people to those I care about. I have a hard time tolerating insensitivity to those less fortunate or afflicted. This compassion does not carry over to those that bring it on themselves though or those that have an air of entitlement about them.
 
She came on here with a hope to meet new people and to bring her style of humor to a site that was very much one-note.

:dunno: What the hell does that even mean?

Respect the posters here. There's layers of shit that go on.
You and the girls you may bring in here are feed.
 
I agree with most of what Casper said. I think it would be great to keep Cali around and have occasional new blood in general.

I was surprised at the level of hostility and mean-spiritedness. I have never been quite so turned off by the trademark gamelive inside joking. We can be oh-so-extremely clever with those inside jokes, can't we?

Cali is not a bad poster at all. Whatever shortcomings she may have, there are guys who are much worse in every way. Particularly for the bold crusaders making the special trip from SBR - are you kidding me? There is no attention-whoring or spelling mistakes to hammer on at SBR forum? It's a place crawling with scummy, scammy, barely literate, misogynist, racist hammerheads - but people need to make a special trip over here to focus on a 24 year-old newbie girl? That sucks IMO.

Whatever shortcomings she may have, she has a lot of upside and interesting perspectives too.

Blah.




Anyway, it should not be overlooked that many gamelive people were welcoming and forgiving. I appreciate that and hope to see it in the future.
 
Crap, nevermind.

Muddy maybe I missed it cause I wasn't accepting of her from the start. Initially I figured she was Casper in drag and then after the video proved her to be real I had had enough time to see certain things about her that turned me off. As I said though I wasn't very accepting of her so maybe my bias prevented me from seeing the same thing you saw.
