I get hurt more than helped
@PleasurePunch well that’s not good.
Ever think of leaving this place?
I do

@Ghostinthemachine I am gone most of the time. I cant ever stay here too long, forced to close the doors after feeling the ghosting and irrelevance and frank hostility in general. And the mindless inanity too. I feel people goading me to leave, like I have no business hanging out here. Happens EVERY time I come back, about three seconds after getting going.

Most of my posts are ignored completely except occasionally from some snarker making me feel dissed/blown off or "agreed with" with no comment

Its a grunting and farting site. Its what makes most people feel welcome I guess.

And I discovered EP in about 2006, so its a very long history.
@PleasurePunch if you are a veteran of the EP years, you’ve been going at this for quite some time.
I’ve heard this place described as a mindless distraction. Is that what it is for you?
I don’t believe we can change the world here. We can’t even change one’s opinions, as ingrained and steadfast as they often are

@Ghostinthemachine I am not expecting a WEBSITE to change the world

I needed what all of us need..connection, a little solidarity and maybe a friend once in a while. And I get pushed out instead.
@PleasurePunch Judge not by what you want, but by who does the pushing

Maybe that will help
