A Waste of Time? in General
Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, July 21 2005 20:25 Profile #23 I don't have any difficulty making friends ordinarily, and I maintain several close friendships and possess many friendly acquaintances. But one can't be with friends all the time, and when my friends are busy or asleep I come around here to kill some time. Certainly I'd rather be boozing at a party or chilling at a pal's house, but it's nice to have a community around to take away the boredom when these options aren't available. That said, there are quite a few exceptionally interesting people that I've come into contact with during my time in the community, and I'm quite grateful for that opportunity. It's fairly enjoyable to interact on a purely textual basis, but I really would jump at the opportunity to meet a friendly community member in person. That's why I enjoy our photo threads so much; interactions feel that much more real, so to speak, when you can imagine the face behind the text. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, July 21 2005 20:11 Profile #219 One time during my period of intense community research, I read through the mock farewell thread that Djur posted when he first stopped using this account. In it, he went through a list of several of the active members of the time, with some "last words" for each of them. It seemed like a genuine departure thread, until I noticed that Djur had registered a new account that very day (with a moniker beginning in "O Nascimiento," I believe) and posted with it only a few posts down from the original post. It was quite a hilarious departure farce, to be sure. His original account had been left at an even 1000 posts right up to this point. Funny that he would use his original account in this thread and not the three-thousand something account he was using when he quit SW. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, July 21 2005 15:47 Profile #17 Well, I'm a C+ student, if that, with serious motivational and responsibility issues. I suppose if any one of us has no business being here and posting regularly, it'd be me. However, I know well enough that leaving would do nothing to solve the problems that are really damaging me. So, I might as well stay around and post. What else would I do in those moments of intense boredom? Posting is a hell of a lot more healthy than drinking. I won't ever leave for the sake of recovering the time I waste here. The only thing that would ever make me leave would be if these forums got too dull for me to take. Unfortunately, that's fast becoming the case. :( -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, July 21 2005 11:55 Profile #163 Well, it's that time, I suppose. I formally concede this election. My warmest congratulations to Thuryl, who will make a fine moderator. Eminently qualified, reasonable, suited to the position in every way. He will do the moderating staff and these boards proud. As a candidate, I was something of a dark horse from the start, and although I always felt that I was qualified I never truly expected to make it this far in these elections. I'd like to thank the entire electorate for making my run possible. I'd also like to give special thanks to several members for their public support and encouragement. To Wise Man, Alec, Aran, FBM, and anyone I might be forgetting: I couldn't have come close to as far as I did without your help, and I thank you sincerely for it. I'd also like to thank Thuryl himself, for being a fine and upstanding opponent. His never-faltering respectfulness and civility lent itself fully to the latter stages of these election proceedings, creating an atmosphere conducive to a fair and enjoyable election. Well, that about concludes what I wished to say. Again, congratulations to Thuryl, and my thanks to the electorate and the community as a whole. Stughalf out. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered.

Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Thursday, July 21 2005 10:43 Profile #215 Djur is thoroughly ticked. For the reasons Thuryl mentioned, it's somewhat understandable. He won't be sticking around, at any rate. Banning him would have little effect. He's not coming back if he can help it. All this election rancor has really gotten some of us out-of-sorts. I personally apologize if I've been a little aggressive and quick to judge in some cases, especially in this thread. My speculations regarding Kel's motives and questioning of Ash's honesty were both ill-advised. I pledge to be more patient, well-informed, and discerning in the future. With regard to Desp, I concur with Thuryl. I am also a regular member at Desp, and enjoy the presence of several quirky types who won't come around here anymore. The close community element is nice, and the shared lexicon and inside jokes foster a comfortable environment. I'll loosen up a bit and not worry about being as prim and proper as I am around here. I do tend to spend more time on SW, though. It's more active, there's a greater diversity of opinions and experiences, and that makes for quite a bit of excitement. So when I feel like perking up a bit and need to use up some time, I hit up SW. When I'm in the mood for a bit of chill time with pals, I steer away from the occasional tedium of SW and spend some time at Desp. I've found that my dual membership satisfies me like no amount of time spent at either forum by itself would. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

While I concur with your assessment of Thuryl's judgement, I feel that I'm far more balanced in my judgment than you give me credit for. True, I might follow my intuition at times and am not emotionless, but I'm quite rational as well. I'm not holding ADoS's over-the-top statements against him, as the two of us are friendly and I believe his "campaigning" is largely an intentional joke. I'm pleased, though, that the electorate is not holding the civil, private argument I had with Ash against me in these elections. Just a bit of time left in this one, and it appears that myself and Thuryl are tied going down to the wire. I'd like to thank the electorate for making this such an exciting contest, and Thuryl for being a more than worthy opponent!

He seems unwilling to admit even that. Ash- Admit that the above is accurate, and I'll lay off challenging your honesty. If you insist on denying it, though, don't expect me to take anything you say at face value any time soon. You seem to be misunderstanding me at present. I've already conceded that "defending" Kel was one of your motivations. All I wish is that you admit that the intensity and vehemence of your statements had something to do with the fact that you were arguing with Alec and TM. It appears to me to be undeniable. You might still be here, but I've noticed that you've toned down your rhetoric considerably. Could that have something to do with the fact that you're arguing with me now, and not Alec or TM? Hmm.

In the period preceding the elections, you seemed to avoid General like the plague while posting like wildfire in several of the game boards. I recall one of your stray posts on General which began with something along the lines of, "Ugh, General." As such, I was rather surprised at the outset of the elections to find that you possessed the gall to run for modship at the one forum on these boards that you appeared to openly dislike. I would have brought the matter up, but as I was avoiding negative campaigning on principle, I refrained. Ash, you're damnedly obstinate. That you are so unwilling to admit the obvious baffles me. I won't press the issue, though. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered.

As much as Good Charlotte sucks, it's hard to imagine the Sex Pistols releasing a song like "Hold On." I would argue that the Ramones did more things with the genre than most people realize, too. Is Good Charlotte really punk, though? I believe most punk purists would write them off as sellouts, unworthy of a genre which has long been defined by opposition to mainstream music and corporate dominance of the industry. This strong opposition mentality pervading the genre has likely prevented much experimentation within it. A double-edged sword, in a way. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger.

Do you honestly believe this? I'm inclined to believe that your background on the "roots" of rock'n'roll might be a bit lacking. Otherwise, I suppose it's just another case where there's no accounting for tastes. Granted, punk/new wave was initially a decent idea. Brainless corporate rock was really taking over in the late seventies, and initially the new movement somewhat reanimated the corpse of rock, going back to energetic basics after several years of increasingly heavy-handed production values and the sapping of energy from the music. However, even the best early punk/new wave bands were never great in my opinion, as they tended to lack quality musicianship and spotlight frankly terrible vocalists. And unfortunately, punk has failed to evolve significantly in the last quarter-century and has ossified to the point that variety in the genre is almost nil. As for ska, it's nothing but a crass retread of classic seventies horn-powered rock, with a cute, insubstantial steel-band element thrown in. Just too derivative to be interesting, in my book. -------------------- *Stughalf* "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered.
