I feel lack of respect for my posts on the net
52% Normal
62 Comments

I write in a lot of online forums (as well as stories and stuff) and one thing I just can't get over is how damned Good I am am at it.

I give advice, make people laugh and treat them to my wisdom in many places.

One of my favorite hobbies is to go back from time to time and search out some of my very favorite posts, re-reading my brilliance or humor and making myself smile.

One thing that bugs me is that while I have long thought that my every utterance should be saved for posterity, many websites either delete posts after a time or refuse to allow people to bring old posts back to the forefront.

It bothers me that I work so hard on my posts, yet many times people who join a site months or years past my original posts might well miss out on my wisdom and charm.

i know how you feel tober. all my witty repartees, not to mention my steaming hot "erotica" was wiped clean off this site altogether.

but it's a better site now anyway. a lot of garbage was eradicated.

btw, im ready to wheel you around the sandy shores of florida on a moonlit night anytime you're ready for it :D ...

Oh gad, what conceit. Please, will you stop flaunting your "Brilliance". We all do the same exact thing in some form, shape or size. Next time hun, the next time you want to bring up a post that doesn't really have a point, don't post it.

BUT if you must. Add at least one gay sex joke in there SOMEWHERE. Jeez.
Comment Hidden (show)
Moi is conceited? I just looked at your bio page junior and if that ain't the pot calling the kettle afro-american...

My POINT was that, both here and all over places like this on the net, I feel that my wisdom should be preserved for future generations. And it is not. :(

Unfair and sad.

You want a gay joke? Okay:

Perhaps you could copy what you consider valuable posts into documents such as doc, rtf, or PDF's and or have your bf download them instead, as it appears the downloading and not the porn is what he enjoys, and when you have 100 Gb of your posts, don't let him erase them, you save them for you and then could write a coffee table book or something that's important and preserves them for you.

Now THAT is actually an idea!

I might have to think on it. It seems a shame for my brilliance to be wasted when future generations might need it.

I COMPLETELY know how you feel.
I write alot of poetry and have recently been posting it on this online community site - compared the the rest of the crap on that site, my writing is like works of fucking art (they're decent), but yet, I only get a moderate amount of feedback while I see suckers writing the sappiest bullshit, and getting praise like they just wrote Moby Dick.
It's so frusturating.

So very true.

I read ~A LOT~ and when I see some of the PAP that gets published, well hell, even if I can't spell better than your average third grader, I should get a Hugo Award by default in comparison to some of this "authors"

I just found this sickeningly conceited. Who cares? A lot of people write funny and witty things every day.

Why don't you try for a job writing a newspaper column or something if you think you're that good?
Comment Hidden (show)
I think this is utterly hilarious. Ms October, in all your effervescent glory you really should make efforts to preserve these strings of words with punctuation marks for future generations to gaze at in awe. Truly, you are everything we want to be when we finally manage to spark something within that hollow cavity. Tell me, what does it feel like to be a goddess among maggot? Do you feel powerful manipulating pond scum around the surface? We all know you're just fishing around for comments, sarcastic or not. You remind me of that child that prods things with a stick just to get a reaction.

Play yourself up some more, after were done praising you, we can drag you back down into this hellish place we call reality.
Comment Hidden (show)
And after reading some of your other posts I can see how you would write an attack like you did toward me.

I Do not consider myself a Goddess among maggots, far from it - I just know that I have great qualities (some of them) as does everyone, and I like to be able to help others with them.

You appear to be a sad, lonely man; but I wish you well.

Haha... I do that, too. Not abnormal at all. I guess when you feel you've made someone laugh, or given good advice, you want to go back and see what exactly it was that worked magic, so you can try it out later. And it's a bit like the proverbial pat on the back when you're down or whatever. I don't do it that often, but I'll admit I've done it before, and it feels darn good. Lol.

I love your sense of humour so no wonder you make your self laugh when you re-read your posts lol.

You are the arrogant one from the last post I read about how you wonder why people don't like you. You're not as great as you think you are and regardless of how much you love yourself you are the only one that thinks so. You'll never have any real friends either
Comment Hidden (show)
Maybe your posts are so great because in real life you don't actually have any friends or get out much?

Jerk.
Comment Hidden (show)
Totally get what you're saying, I write too on a site and it can really piss you off when you know you're writing and posting something good and its just flying under the radar and no one notices it. But yeah, I'd advise what they're saying and publish a book. Can't really go wrong on that one, can you ;)?

In a way, I understand what you are saying. I often feel I give decent advice and/or make people smile, and like many people, seek the approval of others for what I've spent so much time saying. I don't get a lot of responses, and it does make me feel bad sometimes. However, you are coming off a bit "cocky", and I think this is throwing a lot of people off. Some people really put a lot of themselves into what they say, and it hurts when we don't get the response we think is deserving of the time we put in. Such is the life of the internet. I too, put a lot of thought into what I say on here, and really do try to help people. Much as I love to hear I am appreciated, mostly, I am ignored. Oh well, I think we do reach some, but they just never let us know. If we are giving advice from our heart, I think we have to learn to accept that somewhere, we may have touched someone, and the bottom line is, as long as we are doing what we believe is "God's" work, that is all the appreciation we really need.

If I wrote more, I would be beating a dead horse. I commented on this fact on your other post about you being Arrogent.

Which you aren't.

To sum up though, I truly value your opinion and you are part of the reason why I like this site. Even knowing I am new here, I plan on staying here and you are the girl side to what I need for my post. YOU ARE FINE.

Lastly, thank you so much and if nobody else cares, I care what you write and please don't quit.

You stated:

"It bothers me that I work so hard on my posts, yet many times people who join a site months or years past my original posts might well miss out on my wisdom and charm."

I often worry about that as well about what I write. I now see that this site is smaller (population wise) than I originally thought and it was a letdown but it is okay.

However, I tend to write a lot and a great deal of time goes into what I write and I often worry about the same thing. If nothing else, I love your post and look for them before reading other lines of crap from more ignorant people.

Your all insignificant pieces of crap if the world were to end no one would remember your gay posts stupid and insignificant worhtless completley worthless...

People replying to past post that are no longer relevant, like my post that you commented on about me asking "how to get a one night stand."

I didn't mean it and now that I more desire to be myself instead of some idiot asking stupid questions, I wish I could take back that comment. Anyways, I have deciced to be who I truly am, a good guy and not some jerk lashing out on life.

That's what makes it so fun. You post something and I ridicule it.
Comment Hidden (show)
I already stated how I think of this on your "arrogant" story. People in general are assholes and if you say one thing out of what "THEY" want to hear, they will damn you for it. However, it is the same people who spout all sorts of crap about their own lives and yadda yadda...

I just wanted to state again that I understand and you are fine.

Conceited much?

Well if any of your posts are as shitty as this one I wouldn't bother bringing them up again to share with people. . . . Here's my suggestion. . . Try living without a computer for a few years and really apply ur self in the real world..... fuck you

You are a vain, arrogant, self-absorbed fool with delusions of grandeur. I'm glad your posts get deleted. Hopefully your post here will get deleted too. Go some where and choke yourself and save the world from yet another idiot narcissist.

I believe we call this a "messiah complex". Look it up.

Arrogant, self absorbed, I'm kind of good at online posts, what with the grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but wit and humor? I'll leave the other posters to decide...

God Bless

What did you just do. Sure hes arrogant but you just contradicted yourself.

You speak the truth.
Comment Hidden (show)
I feel this way too. In reality, this is probably the worst place to expect your words to really make a difference though.
I would love to write a book but I have a complex about it. There is so much published crap out there it seems like just about anybody can write a s**ty book and make themselves rich off of it...and I don't want to be one of those people.
But contrary to my words above I do post and comment in these so-called 'worst places' and I care about what I post and hope it will get read. I just discovered this site a few days ago and already all I really want to do is go back and re-read all of my comments and see if anyone had anything to say about them.
My hopes aren't very high though because it is pretty obvious that most people do not read everything through before throwing in their two cents.
