PW, I am another person who doesn't hate you at all. It's nothing personal in the sense that I'm sure you're a perfectly nice guy and I do think you mean well.
However, I find your posts exhausting to read.
You go through the same cycles of eagerness, berating yourself, being combative, making allusions to a meaning that is comprehensible to nobody but yourself, and then becoming indignant and increasingly defensive. Please check the OneWebDay thread to find an example of a time, recently, when I tried to participate in a straightforward way with a topic you'd suggested. Please take that as an indication that when you're posting straightforwardly, I will respond straightforwardly.
You're not a bad guy. I know you don't bear any malice toward anybody here and I honestly believe that nobody here bears you any malice. There's been a lot of guessing about why you're not able to communicate efficiently, and how you might post differently, but for whatever reason, it's just not working. Why not choose a gentler path? Why not stick to the topics where you seem to get your point across better? It won't always be frictionless, nobody's experience is, but wouldn't you get more enjoyment and value from the board if you moved toward the zones where you and the rest of the board experience greater congruence than you get here? Maybe that could be an affirming, joyous path? |
