Internet Forum Ghettos



Some impressions I've been getting about internet forums, since finally getting involved last Christmas, are... (1) That they are essentially

ghettos in the sense that they're primarily populated by people of all ages in lonely cardboard cabins, hurt, hungry and afraid. (2) That they

represent a state of fragmentation, in which people who have little if any voice cluster around each other initially for the warmth. (3) That

they become vulnerable to the enticements of self professed leaders (desiring power) who offer them false hopes in order to form gangs.

(4) That these sorry crucibles of well intentioned humanity seldom witness many of their members crawling, working, forging their intrinsic

selfhood upward to think on their own, unencumbered/without catering, and to stand on their own two feet. (5) That those in such bondage

are so incredibly fatigued that they mechanically resist the honorable initiatives of any desiring to vitalize, strengthen and set them free.

What are you afraid of?

What did the cult forum offer to you?

Grade C+

A good attempt at a Serendipity/Red Night whinge but it lacked the usual depth and didn't really lead to any conclusion or accusation.

Only fear is incipient blindspots.

No use for cult worship, even though some of my internet quasi-friends do... including you.

Just a few impressions for now. Stick around another year or so and, if you're a reasonably good boy, I'll nourish you with a few conclusions.

Yours truly hangs with TSM, PFC and the general forum homeless. Whom does Seitse hang with and defend (recently as yesterday)?
