Maybe the impersonality of the internet itself is the cause of the need to cower and hide.
You make it sound so fun.

Because it's not important to me.

You're saying it's not important for other people to be themselves; or just you;
or that all people should follow suit and be someone other than themselves?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyFor the same reason there is so much cookie cutter sameness in points of view and style of expression anywhere else. You can see this with kids on the playground and with many of our leaders in the nations capital. Mimicking attitudes and opinions they've seen expressed, and are believed to be majority attitudes and opinions. And these are often the same people claiming to be free thinkers who don't follow the crowd. It's something most peope understand but few see in themselves... "I want to be different, just like everyone else."
If so, why is there so much cookie cutter sameness in points of view and style of expression online today?

Sounds as if you're concluding that everyone's points of view and style of expression is essentially the same...
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyOf course, I've been posting for a while and my presence has not mattered a lick since I arrived so your passive aggressive hostility is noted. In all seriousness, you'll forgive me if I have no interest in your brand of relaxed, casual conversation and more of a perverse penchant for watching you spin your wheels in this quagmire while I piss in the puddles.
Sounds like a plan. Glad you're back. Once again things are cool....
