Me:

Part of the solution: 90%

Part of the problem: 10%

I can do better.

You?

bad boy 12.685%

good boy 87.315%

I need to do better.

what solution have you offered?

me: part of the problem but with an explanation.

Not lately.

On the other hand, I do like to brag about my inferiority complex.

Certainly not this one: <link>

On the other hand, I made a point of offering my strong opinion that you had been unfairly victimized by certain parties for a number of years. There seemed to be a small shift in opinion in your favor on BOTF, after I did that. So, perhaps I was part of your solution.

that if you truly believe in the merits of the solution and you still can't stop, you really ought to go.

I'm reading this <link> at the moment, thinking of how to post about it here. (Writing good posts would make me more a part of the solution.)

The author posits that coming into existence is always a serious harm, and that while one's existence is always a serious harm to oneself, it can be a benefit to others.

since the changes started before you were giving me the time of day (a waaaay long time before i was invited to wikifray), i allowed myself to believe that posting my poem, the properties of ether, and then my narrative, turquoise metal chairs, started to turn things around.

but i'm sure it must have been you all along.

promise me you'll use your powere for good and not evil.

pardon the links, but the old fray archives just aren't there.

I have not posted on botf for over four months, so whatever part of the problem I am is here on this board when 'they' come over here. that is not sufficient to excuse the fact that I'm a hothead and don't suffer fools lightly. BUT, I haven't gone to 'their' board in four months. that's worth something.

so your leaving is not really part of the solution (to making this a better place), but if you can't stop, why not do what daveto does, and post your frustrations on an orphan fray. Every time you post about them here, you're giving them what they want (attention).

I agree with you about those who are going over there and bringing it back here. Unless that's really what you're/we're all here for, but man, it is so fucking boring that I can't even tell you how boring it is. This board had been such a refreshing change.

You deserved the support long before you got it from me. You really are quite fabulous, and also a complete fucking idiot at times.

In fact, I have seven of them.

I had a good week.
