Disappointment

I just wanted to make this question to everyone who might be interested in answering it...

have you ever felt that these 'philosophy' boards are a utter waste of your time?

You came to this board expecting tea & crumpets Drone, a nice pat-on-the-back.

Welcome to the Real World, the Animal Kingdom. You got a knife in your back instead.


Grow up.

It is time for the Global Planet Earth to evolve into adulthood for the first time in Human History.

for those who might be interested, I'm talking about all web philosophy boards , not this place specifically...

I post on ILP, and I am on here because I am being interviewed in the name of philosophy, and when that is over, I will be gone...

I have looked at other philo sites, but they have not apealed to me in the way that ILP has/does, so I will stick with there...

...it is a mistake to expect too much from others/internet philosophy, for people are never as smart as they think, and therefore practice only bullshit-philosophy.

I have always appreciated your detachment, Magsj...

you're right: it's a huge mistake to wait too much from other people, especially those we hardly know...

Drone, I like these internet phil.boards. More exactly the BBS medium in general; I'm a member of so many chat boards I have a very hard time remembering my userID and pass on all of them. Why? To see something set out just very nonchalant; say, here is a conversation between two people who are thinking about suicide. They know what they are talking about; it is not the same as fiction. You name the topic and there is almost always a BBS devoted to talking about it; you can learn more in twenty minutes from these boards than assuming and reading books for a year. Who would you ask about say suicide? "Excuse me sir, excuse me..."

It's good to know that you are satisfied with these boards, Hadji. I guess that my biggest mistake was expecting too much from them, maybe Magsj/Tor is right after all. I don't know if i'll ever come back to these places in the future, but if i ever do, i'll try to lower my expectations next time.

She often is.
