Is SW the same as it used to be?

@Pfuzylogic Hey! I'm curious, and I recognize anyone that uses Bill Murray as an icon, needs good humour, what vigilantism?

@SW-User There were groups of people that would come on a post and call the poster perverse and fake. That might have been true of a few but honestly more care should be taken if you are going to hammer someone like that. This site is for emotional support and it seems that type of treatment is anathema to the mission here.

@Pfuzylogic I can sense... there is many perverse still, actually - not into diaper fetishes. I would never hammer them, thats when the mute button comes in - no need to block. I'm otherwise very open, and understand a lot of what this site gives is emotional support/normalization we all need... so your sense is SW is giving what it needs? *wasn't imagining a philosophical conversation here*

@SW-User The idea of vigilantism is as old as the start of many civilizations. It bypasses the "justice" from the admin. It harrases and degrades others without a fair process.
It tends to stratify into classes the people that are "worthwhile". It is an expected behavior from this that need to control their environment but does not entitle them to control others.
This is philosophical in nature, yes.

@Pfuzylogic Canada is full of it cause it's doesn't always like our liberal justice system, so thus I get it... Don't posit an opinion of me cause I state what Canada *especially rural* states, just a simple observation of vigilantism that I actually find sweet in meaning, but nothing short of rhetoric for anger/and displacement of those feelings.

@SW-User
If this site inherits members from EP I do think that they should be accepted or at least tolerated and not purged.
We have rural areas in the US that are conservative in nature similar to yours in the Great White North!

@Pfuzylogic I signed onto EP once ... hence I stopped myself from mentioning it even if I get the sense going around, SW is not the same as EP. Who would I be to talk? As an outsider, though, the prevalent social groupings do matter. :)

@SW-User I find it useless not to consider others as equals in treatment whether it be age, gender or sexual lifestyle or Religon

@Pfuzylogic Indeed, but that takes a little of not putting that into limelight... ie, you can recognize cultural differences, they exist, we could a little further anyone is after a degree of happiness? Some recognition of the differences actually does give help.

@SW-User The problem lies when people respond differently to those that they consider not at their level and sadly even block them.

@Pfuzylogic If we are talking SW... and I guess EP.

really the problem revolves around the individual within a societal construct in how people view themselves and how they approach a subject.

So I'll leave this with a poem from TS Eliot which helps with the ideas of right/wrong/time

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
                                   But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.

It tells a way of actually looking at yourself instead of others. Why I shared.

@SW-User i like that on SW you determine personal boundaries as irl and determine equality with at least the strength of our argument.

@Pfuzylogic irl means in real life? I've enjoyed the argument, while I don't see it as an 'argument', it is by definition, I see it as conversation between two people which I am always up for (as long as they subject interests me, and I get a response that shows similar interest) .... it's that easy with me, really :)
