I was banned from another board, & I needed a new place to get my fix.....I have a "discussion jones". (I prefer to seek discussion rather than debate, since the notion of winning or losing seems counter-productive. I prefer to exchange an understanding of perspectives.) Returning there just didn't seem worth it, being mostly sniping & personal drama. I needed a change.
Why was I banned from the other board?
- Flame wars & abuse abound there, but unless one is a moderator's pet, sanctions are tough. (I've had many monikers, but the last few were Revolting, Revoltinger, & finally Revoltingest.) In February, they went from almost no moderation to micro-moderation, so the local culture didn't cope very well, & serious discussion died out somewhat.
- I write limericks, mainly about current events.
- I liked the theatrics of multiple identities. I posted as The Pope, The Devil, Ralph Wiggum, Ironman, & others.
Will I fit in here? I don't know yet. So far, it seems unfamiliar & weird.
