Sorry if that's confusing: I meant the result of spending time there myself has been quite enlightening as to what the benefits of Barbelith are, compared to the next bulletin board, if the next bulletin board is TMO. Didn't mean to imply anything about the people who decided to hang there for a bit.
Expressing my Big Brother lactations on The Moon Online saved my analysis tits from getting sore and swollen. I think the 'Malteser head' thing was more about the difference between High (Active) Racism and Low (Unexamined) Racism. I was actually more pissed off at the way it dragged the BB thread off course.
I didn't go anywhere else, it's Barbelith or nowhere for me. I spent some time exploring the interwebnet and researching stuff on google etc. but really I don't see Barbelith as a BBS, it's a community (*huggles* to y'all) that I visit virtually.
