I often wonder.......

[Guest Jason Reardone]

What is it with some people. Fishing for things to be wrong in everything they do. I spoke about this with a friend off here the other day....why is it that some must make up profiles, stir up trouble and then hide and laugh while lighting another cigarette?

 

I guess the answer is self explanatory, perhaps I'm contributing by even asking the question. Maybe now that I have more time on my hands I find these things interesting. Does that mean that as time goes I too will become psychotically interested in the downfall of anyone and everyone in whatever forum I can penetrate somehow losing site of reality and what really is important in life? Please tell me I have more to look forward to as I age....Is this an eventual deterioration of psyche that occurs from hanging around escorts and hustlers or is this something we should blame on our parent, ex-lovers and/or gym teachers?

 

OK I must go I have two more chapters of "How to be Happy No Matter What" left to read. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Jason,

I could see how one could become cynical reading some messages on this site, but I could also see how someone might think there is a richness in variety of thought, in humor and in caring. I've seen it all on this board. And I have no way of knowing if the person writing is of what age. Maybe you have more information through personal experience with some of the posters.

There seem to be various kinds of posts here at the MC. 1. Those that are purely fun and chatty, enjoying the sexy banter that occurs. 2. The somewhat antagonistic, provocative interactions that from the outset are argumentative in nature, and seem to want to keep things from getting too boring. 3. The personal attacks, which have been mean-spirited and hostile. 4. The unstable, desparate posts that belie a mind and spirit that is lonely, frightened or angry.

I'm sure there are more. I have tried to learn to read between the lines, take nothing personally, ignore those that I found brought only negative energy to my life, be thoughtful in responding to justified challenges and provocation, and be gentle and kind to those that I am concerned are written in confusion and pain.

I'm not sure I understand your linking of some posts with age, hanging out with escorts and psychosis, but maybe its because you are somewhat worn out by the vitriolic attacks that have appeared. Granted, some guys are assholes. But I've also met some incredible human beings on this site capable of a lot of caring. And I've met some guys who are truly struggling with heavy burdens. I worry about those and wonder if they are speaking to any other human being in the same way they are speaking in the anonymous forums of cyberspace.

Not sure where I'm going with this, but take heart. Like you, there are lots of great guys here who, over time, have shown what being a member of the Ancient Order and Tribe of Gay Men can really be: funny, creative, caring, sexy, intellingent, solid and honest. Take heart.

Take heart Jason...

 

It has nothing to do with age. Rather it is one of the many facets of the human condition as manifested by SOME. The Romans had a taste for Lions and Christians -- their version of good, clean entertainment. Perhaps this is the modern day equivalent, on an individual basis, tempered by the times. The human condition is nothing if not enduring.

I wonder how someone who is going through so much hell is able to tweak with such grace some of the foolishness he cncounters. I have so much admiration for you right now. Of course my admiration isn't what is needed. We need a cure for you. I can only pray for it and hope it helps.

 

By the way people who worry about getting psychotic and bitter as things go wrong seldom become either. Life has an unpleasant habit of teaching us lessons we didn't want. Some people have the grace and guts to learn them and prevail.I think thats you.

 

Good luck and I hope you get lots of love from your friends. I am sure there are more of them than you knew. Jeff

Hay Jason,

 

One of the best things I have found about getting older and when you get older you are constantly looking for things to make it seem better, jk. Anyway it is that you don't "sweat the small shit". So when you see a post about a baseball cap and 50 replies you wonder, what the fuck. Who really cares that much and why? I woke up this morning and life is good and what does really matter not how some escort wears or doesn't wear a baseball cap but how we treat each other. But I think you already know that Jason and I also think the ones that don't never will.

I often wonder why some people are always talking about the message board itself instead of about the topics that are posted here. There are literally hundreds of threads on this board about all sorts of things, but some people seem to find dire implications in the tiny percentage of threads that become controversial. Why? Instead of complaining about what others have to say, why not simply focus on one's own interests and ignore the rest?

Instead of juvenile humor, how about a straight answer? This is not the first time you have created a thread to complain about some of the posts you have seen on this board. In fact if I remember right you have on at least one occasion created a thread to tell people that you were fed up and were planning to stop visiting the board, although it seems you changed your mind about that. There are a couple of other people who have done the same thing. I really don't understand this behavior. Why keep participating in something that you claim to find so unpleasant? Is someone forcing you to do it against your will? Or if you really don't find it that unpleasant, why keep complaining about it?

I guess all the cold weather has made you confused, I forgive you. I was merely making conversation and not addressing anyone in particular with my thread. It seems you are the only one that was feeling defensive and the need to lash out, perhaps there is a reason for it, I dunno.

 

As I said I was merely making an observation and some harmless fun, you seem to have the need to make more of it, that is unfortunate....I'll give you the same advice some have given me, LIGHTEN UP!

I didn't say you created this thread to address anyone in particular, but the post you created right after my first post certainly refers to someone in particular. Who exactly would that be?

 

You did create this thread to raise some questions about the behavior of some of the people who post on this message board, didn't you? The responses to this thread all assume that that is what you had in mind, and I do not see you telling those people that they have the wrong idea. Do they?

 

But when I raise the same sort of questions about your behavior that you raise about others, you don't seem to like it. Why not? Is the rule that only you are allowed to raise such questions, while the rest of us are not? I don't know of any such rule.

 

Jason, not everyone who visits this message board is going to fawn on you every time you show up because they fantasize about fucking you. If you are going to create threads offering topics for discussion, you should get used to the idea that some of the people who respond will not fall into that category. If that is too much for you to take, perhaps you should find another pastime. Have you ever read "Moby Dick," for example? I recommend it.
