Y'know, I really don't think I can deal with 'the other place' anymore. It's just getting too much.
It really seems that I'm out-numbered, ignored, laughed at, and seen simply as a nuisance by so many. Oh, they may say that they value discussion, but many of them don't. The vocal ones are all rallying behind the committee (mainly because most of them are either on it or would rather like to be), and everything I seem to do is met with not-quite-hostility, but certainly not happiness.
What's hardest, is that none of my esteemed opposition are actually properly *reading* what it is I post, or in fact what anyone who is in disagreeance with them writes. There have been so many instances where they ask questions that have already been distinctly answered, or they have so laughably misread what is on the page that it's all you can do not to slap them about the head.
Disco sent me a lovely, 6-word PM this morning, and that was so very heartening to receive. But it's not a lack of support - you have all been very good at keeping me going - but the lack of effort on the opposition's part to actually see what our points are.
If nothing I do has any actual effect, is it worth it? (I will remind you that we don't live in season 2 of Angel, so no quoting that at me :oP )

if it helps, im not laughing at you.
and i do agree with you 100%. and i do properly read your posts.
but posting that i agree with you wouldnt do much to help your case.
i only go to the other place for fun and games.
if i wanted intelligent conversation......oh, who are we kidding, ill never want intelligent conversation.
and yes, the thing thats happening, i like to call it ass kissing to a point. not a fan of it myself.
.....when did we stop living in season 2 of angel???? was there a memo i didnt get????
my nose skin is angry..... =P
I'm sorry but Angel will be quoted.
If nothing we do matters... then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today.
Please believe me when I say that, to me at least, what you do and say and the person you are, matters more than you'll ever know. The support and encouragement you give me, the compliments and just the knowledge that if I ever need someone to talk to (or cry to)has helped me so much.
You are fully aware of how little I think of myself and having you as a friend has seriously helped, whether you realise it or not.
You're the best friend a girl could ever hope for and I'm sure Immy would say your the best boyfriend a girl could ever hope for. I personally disagree but you can come a close second, ok? =P
*big squishy hugs*
i forgot one thing.
"But first, in all of this, I'm not just speaking for myself. There were a lot of people that got hurt in this process, and really do not feel like speaking out, for fear of getting hurt even more. It's still hard, being the clashing voice ringing out, but it's not just about me and my wants."
thankyou.
i think im one of the people your referring to.
thankyou for being our clashing voice.
*tackle hugs*
Jess - I love the fact that you know posting 'ditto' after my posts doesn't help the argument any; it makes you more aware than a large percentage of the board, lately. :oP
Dana - I know you love me, bub. 'tis mutual. I'm not getting down about everything, just the battle on 'the other place'. But the fact you appreciate this helps a lot.
And I'm second to Andrew? *pouts*
ill have you know im more aware than a large amount of the board all the time =P
and if it helps, i rate you above andrew =P
*tacklehugs*
See, I am not going to post in those threads, cos, well, truthfully, I can't be bothered.
Its a load of tripe.
I had no problems with the board before, I have no problems with the board now. And for the record, I am not really that bothered with sub-forums. I was a little sad to see the "names" weren't used, but, I don't really mind.
The only thing I would really like to say is this:
"People, take your hand, raise it above your mouse, slowly lower it, then use your pointer finger...yes, thats the one, and roll it along the little scrolly, wheel-thingy, very good. Now, scroll down the page, and go past the crap you don't want to read, just like that, and only click on the fucking topic, that you DO want to read. Easy, ain't it???"
"smiles........very evil-like......in a childlike manner!!!!!"
*HUGS For Jules*
Your efforts are appreciated and your opinions valued. To tell the truth I really should speak out a little more than I do, but like you I feel it isn't going to make much of a dent at the moment.
I do agree with you that sometimes it seems certain people don't read things properly and do what they feel is better instead. I think most people know my stance on the admin group and I still don't agree with their actions; but at the end of the day they are trying to encompas many different ideas into the board and make them work together in a unified and flowing manner. I'm not meaning this as a way of absolving them from not listening properly- just as a different way of looking at their position.
I think I might just shut up now because I feel a tangent coming along- and we don't need that.
