h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh wait, you and I seldom run out of subject matter to differ on, eh?

I saw your journal about disillusionment and ennui with the site. I really have no idea why I remain either, there has been
very little that I find much interest in. But perhaps it's that bit of the eternal optimist in me that hopes things will pick up
again. It will never be "the good ol' days" again because that is always an illusion anyway

Anyway, a little constructive comment perhaps? A number of folks about the place are very testy, on-edge, since the
announcing of the sale. And just never quite come down off of that. Coupled with a lot of annoyance at one whom you
call friend and try to support, and your sometimes ascerbic comments ... It's just not an easy time all around

You have contributed a lot, and may again as or when the new arrangements get feet under them. I think a lot of it is the
uncertainty, people trying to keep the machinery together and others from each others' throats. I like to think that 5 or 6
months and much of the dust will have settled, and the site will develop a new 'norm'. Personally, I will wait until then to
decide if it's somewhere that I wish to be or not. "It's still early days", is about the gist of all of this meandering

For a man of intelligence, nuance, and really quite a lot of years of this site, you do surprise me. Thank you

A friend of yours is happy to post ... well, ... stuff that most will see as cruel, crude, sometimes viscious and hurtful,
sometimes just plain wrong on many levels. And a post later, call it "banter, creative, artistic" and a bucket-load of
other stuff. Most folks see it as trash and unacceptable excuses

And yet you continue to support the notion that, ... somehow? ... this is all artistic and creative?

I am sorry to speak so plainly, but it really does seem to be much more the mindless babble and spillage of one with
far more conerns than a repressed 'artistic' nature.

Actually, while a bit amusing, ... is the notion that the only folks that are real supports to one, supports that are not Canuck, ,
is one whose key-word and claim-to-fame is ARSE.
