My politics are at the core of who I am. The basic tenets of socialism are things I believe passionately in. It is more than a set of logical assumptions (though I think it is that too), it's a deeply held emotional conviction. Class politics frames who I am. It is a core part of my self-identity.

I don't vanish from a community because some of its members insult, demean or mock those beliefs and values.

I hate when people just vanish from a board. People who've made themselves a part of the community, I mean, not people who've posted three times and then not come back. I understand it happens, and I have done so accidentally myself (when my computer died, or i lost my internet for a while). Sometimes people just drift off and don't come back. But when someone actually purposefully leaves, intending not to return, I think the polite thing to do is let people know.

Not that it matters at the end o fthe day :P Whiskies come and whiskies go.

Where's Beestie?

here he is!

I don't see him. Is he hiding?

And yesman...what happened to him?

how's 'bout smooothmoniker?

I've been wondering about yesman as well.

Yeah, I hate all these people that actually have lives.

lives? what's that?:eyebrow:

Yesman tells me he rations his time on this forum. I do that a bit myself.

Ali??

Wheres Ali gone?

Well, it looks as though Shawnee123 might be gone forever. She was having a squabble with Labrat, which happens in the Cellar. Then jinx had to gang up on Shawnee, which also happens in the Cellar. Apparantly, jinx thinks that Labrat isn't capable of taking care of herself. And now, Shawnee is gone, and the Cellar is worse off for it.

I hold jinx responsible.

so do i! let's get her!


burn her!

build a bridge out of her!

awwww. did two people say mean things to someone? fuck off, man, this is the cellar and supposedly we are adults.

Um...is LJ really banned or did he just give himself that user-title in a post- modern, euro-hip kind of way?
