196. I want to thank all my dutiful detractors!
I finally have a very strong and supportive reason not to waste any more time posting here.

That is a good decision for both me and you. We all win! Yay!

The only thing that ever kept me responding and posting here were a handful of people that, out of the blue, would PM me with enlightened, thoughtful, and glowing responses. They were both encouraging and uplifting.

In this thread we see that free thought and speech, and any support for it, is subject to a censure, censorship, overreaction, and guilt by association. That is neither in the spirit of democracy or in the nature of underground.

You can now go on to belittle the fuck out of what I had to say and weave your deceptive webs about my meaning and intent, but it is clear that this is not a place to air anything of import or value that might equal any kind of meaningful, underground, change anymore. I thank you for making that crystal clear to me as a long-term and avid, donating, user of this site since its inception.

It is not shocking or uprising that the prevalent, corporate group-think would infest this place. That is what it is intended to do and you all show just how well that experiment is going, though you may not see yourselves as pawns in that game.

If you ever take the time to see the economic breakdown of who belongs to this site, they are mostly in the middle and upper classes and have their own, privileged rights and expectations to protect and convey. It seems that the less fortunate and downtrodden are either totally insane, or they have a very clear view of the inequities of this horrific system and could tell you all where the current, economic crises will send you, all ideas and conjectures about hate speech aside.

Despite your derision, I can only imagine that you are very comfortable in your ideation and lives when you respond to my points in a subdued, but obviously hateful, way, i.e., you hate my ideas about your ideas about hate. You will not be comfortable for long because it is clear that the economy that create and supports you is crumbling beneath your feet and thusly, this discussion and my ideas and additions will mean little to you as you sink into the chasm that your narrow genuflections to it currently provide. You can suppress the free all you want to here, at SMB, but you could consider that their freedom has something viable to offer you as you blindly fall into a pit from which you cannot escape and no amount of ideas or arguments will save you if you have not prepeared yourself with insight and critical though, before hand. That is, the kind of thought that is truly open to ideas and contrary opinions, unlike your Bush Administration that you all rally against but fail to act in direct contrast to.

As I leave you mist gladly and great fully, I would remind you that you are subject to the very same easy and qucik mental criticisms that you can supply. In this case, they may prove to be a matter of your very survival in the end and not just a matter of oneupmanship and ridicule that you find so comfortable and easy to convey to your fellows as a matter of transference for your personal predicament, ad absurdium!

I love you all and wish you the best, but your so-called, "democratic" and "underground" ways and means leave very much to be desired in any community that I would want to be a part of. In fact, the communality that I am a part of bears no resemblance to your kind of belittlement, rapid chastisement, and anathema, at all. Maybe you live in a very different world than I do, and maybe that is good for both me and you. Maybe we should keep it that way!
