Yep. Runs in Spams veins. Hopefully it doesn't get cholera.
Look, my, uh, "reputation", or whatever you wanna call it, here has waxed and waned a lot. I really don't mind if a couple of late-night posts get people thinking badly of me again, at least something will have [I]happened[/I]. Not gonna pretend it was my secret plan all along or anything, but it's a nice bonus. I post seriously, write long messages, make lots of threads that lots of people can engage with (share your stories, or advice threads, or "lol staying up all night" easy-to-relate-to ones) because they get people talking, and debating, and thinking, and I like talking to people who read and think and share their minds and stories. As long as people are doing that, this place, and it's community stay alive. So what if my bad judgement here gets me a bad 'rep' with teh trendy kidz, it asks people to think, post, comment, whatever. That's why I didn't just make this thread about male vanity, and instead started thinking about it more, and then wrote the long beginning post with my thoughts and feelings in the moment laid bare, and asked others to do the same.
And this post will most likely get more "stop writing so much, how dare you give a shit and put thought into things", or "oh yeah this was totes your master plan, yeah right!" despite me explaining why I write a lot (admittedly, also because I can't sleep) and saying that my intention was not ever "create a shitstorm to make activity LUL I'M SO SMURT". But oh well. Just being me.
