It was rather intolerable for a while, I think it's died down.

You are missed. Come back!

I'm guilty of attempting to choose for everyone the direction the community would take. I'm going to let the cellar find its own level. If that level is something I can appreciate, I'll be around.

Yeah, that's part of it. The other part is that your posts also contribute to what the Cellar is, and I think it's better when you are posting, so I hope you do stick around.

I encourage you to go over to the Dwellar Collage thread and give LJ a picture to use (if you like what you see.)

Griff. You're missed.

Oh...and wtf? Merc is one person. We don't all get along. There are odd enmities and clashes. But this is a big group of people.

Don't make me set the Pilau hound on you!

Yeah it is strange that though, how just one person can totally ruin an experience for you. I had a bad experience recently with an ex-friend - and it made everything intollerable. I have disabled my facebook account because I didnt even feel like logging on because I knew she was on there, and even going to the local shops for a while was stressfull in case i bumped into her.
I know how you feel Griff - it just makes you want to go "fuck this, i'm out."

i wrote the politics forum off years ago. political argument turns people i like into assholes. i cant imagine what people i hate act like in there.

seemed to me that griff's main cellar joy came from politics....i don't get it....but whatever floats yer boat......

i do get it that one person can shit all over that one segment, and 'ruin' your experience.....so, why then would you keep coming back? you wouldn't

i hope you'll take some time to drop into the other forums from time to time griff.....I DO want your pic in the collage, and will be sure to tell you if merc dies in a fire.

That is wise. I'll have to work on that. I don't have a recent pic though.

I've never looked in the politics forum. I check out teh Cellar by looking for new posts and if an interesting thread title is for a thread in the politics forum I won't read it. This is mostly because I don't understand American politics, and the remainder because politics turns people into asshats, as LJ so succinctly put it.

oh.....don't be upset....that's like 'eat a dick'.... when you get mad at someone, just suggest that they die in a fire.....or fry in a byre, or anything that rhymes....cry in a choir...etc..
