this is a forum where people from a banned something awful subforum snap at each other for fun, it used to have longer posts but it has jack all to do with organizing
tpaine posted:i wish i could find the thread but like a year ago more than one poster here genuinely and seriously argued that my opinions made them think i was overweight. i mean, don't get me wrong, i weigh 420 pounds and i'm only 6'9'' so i am overweight, but it's my love of butter that makes me big, not my opinion (unless we're counting my opinion that butter rules). i'm gay, i'm gay, i'm straight, i'm bisexual, i shave my anus, my wife died, i love sam adams and progressive rock, i'm fat,
whatever mental

idk, no unified theory here, i am surprised that anyone would find this place appealing if they werent there on lf, i think it probably presents a challenge that turns out not to be a very good one since all you have to do to become established here in no-ban, getfiscal ifap country is persist
roseweird posted:'appealing' and 'compelling' are different things, and the challenge is understanding not establishment
in that case i mean, i appreciate your perspective but if it really is a compulsion then id treat it instead of coming here
