  • Apolyton is a good place. You are good people.

    I've been gone for months from here forcefully, I had to learn a lesson the hard way. For years I've adamently opposed the whole existence of the moderation system in these forums as a sqeulching of free speech and oppression.

    Well being deprived of having a home here, I made my way to other places and what I found was appalling.

    I looked for and found the alternative to Apolyton... anarchy, and complete lack of moderation. And let me tell you the viciousness of the people I dealt with, their ammoral and often immoral behavior would blow away most of you away.

    I visted one place, which by my interests made me try to consider it a new home... a gaming forum also....... and it has totally deteriorated into a hub for sick people. There is discussion of sexually mutilating children, pornography, beastiality, people threating one another, and the mods don't do **** about it. Furthermore they actively discuss pirating games. Most of these things are illegal under federal laws such as Obscenity, a pornography consent laws, copyright laws. as well as international and federal laws regarding child pornography. But with no mods, it is a free for all, the sickos can say what they want, and humiliate people at their whim.

    I was under the impression that a lot of you were asses, well seeing the kind of people at some of the other forums, I will admit that you are not asses, they however are uberasses.

    I mean it is one thing to be a jerk in a civil manner, but to be an ass in a savage uncivilized way is intolerable, and dangerous. These people I speak of threaten other people, and detail suicide plans for them, and try to estinguish any hope that would keep them living.

    So I think I owe all of you, mostly Ming an apology (almost typed Apolyton... old habits die hard), and admit that my stubborn head now sees what I should have seen long ago.

    There are of course a few things I will still continue to disagree with, but I won't take my disagreements into insubordination from now on.

    You are a friendly folk, I'm sorry I haven't been truely worthy enough to understand that.

            College would be better if I wasn't so isolated, I just give off this confrontational look all the time.... probably my subconsciousness attempts to avoid being ridiculed or bullied like I have been in the past (say 7 years ago and before). I mean really would you come up to someone whose face looks like they would kill you in a blink of an eye, probably not.

            It is my major social problem, although it protects me from getting hurt by people, it does it at the expense of having contact with people.

            Ever heard the expression that if you make funny faces that they will get stuck, well sorta for me I guess except my scowl is disconcerting.

                  Welcome back, Thorn. Hopefully things will get better for you friend-wise.

                  There are still overmoderated forums, or forums where the team consistently picks on one group or person. That's why I like Apolyton so much--it's moderated enough to keep out the dip****s you mentioned, but it's free enough to allow consistent, constructive discussion.

                      How are your grades? UNC-Asheville is a relatively small place IIRC, and small places might not be good for people like yourself- larger places will have more people; if only 1/1000 people will like you, then at a school with 4000 you will have will 4 friends, at a school of 20,000 you will have 20 friends. Perhaps you could transfer to Chapel Hill or something?

                      As for other advice for getting along in college, feel free to ICQ me.

                            My grades were doing really great first year, but the depression and the "other stuff" got so bad I became overmedicated and for the last year have been missing classes but still managed to pull out ok. Now I've halved the dosages and now things are looking up grade wise.

                            It is a small school, full of liberal people, that are often friendly, It's me that is the problem...
