Grrrrrarrgh!

_{Sound I make while trying to re-open an old goal, and it just doesn’t work. I made more sounds, btw, but they aren’t fit for typing, even though they were German.}

and I feel I am talking to myself, so I am posting it under this goal.

I am thinking about leaving the board.

I had to leave the Coven—a goal I started, contributed to on a regular basis, a goal that was very dear to me.

I tried to start some hippie commune in the central park, free and open for everyone, and now I have lost it. Madness has moved in and scorched and defiled the ground.

The problem is: one cannot draw a line over here. Blocking a person prevents them from sending PMs to you and commenting on your entries.

It doesn’t prevent them from joining your goals, you can’t kick them out of a team. If you really wanna get rid of a person over here—you can’t do anything but leave the board.

If I knew how to reach any admin I’d do it asap. As it is I would have to ‘walk from door to door’, meaning: sending PMs to each and everyone, begging for support.

As far as I understand the board there is a democratic decision about banning people. You report them (btw, I can’t report K. for some reason), they appear on “Neighborhood Watch” and then everyone who comes by can vote.
Folk who don’t know her crank posts, those who don’t know her at all or only know her bright and funny side will defend her.
Many others who have seen her madness in action will still not ban her.

In the end I have learned something important: I have put much time and energy in the coven-goal, but I realise things like that – things that matter to me and need goodwill and trust – can’t be realized on a board as large as 43T.

I must say, I love 43Ts democratic ways, and I like the Neighborhood Watch. But it has its limits.
I see now a board like that is not a safe place. It is not a cozy community but a large city. I love the city. It is full of life, excitement and diversity. You meet wonderful people. Sometimes though you can see s/o getting abused, kicked, mugged, on the other side of the road, and many just turn their heads and walk by.

As things are I will not start another Coven here. Those who are still interested can PM me though.

What a waste of energy.

I notice you are about to write an entry titled “Read: ‘Typhoon’ by Joseph Conrad”. With that and the quotes an’ all, I mean, yea, I can see you’re real deep down in one of your phases, but what the friggin heck are you writing about it all the time?!? People have read the guy at school! He is totally well know! And you act as if you’ve just discovered some underrated, unknown author!

Discovered? I INVENTED him! I’m his MOTHER!

MOOOHawHAWHAW!!!

Ohhhkay…. looks like we got a situation here. Joseph Conrad’s mother is loose, trying to gain world domination.

OOOOOOINK!!!!

Argh. Okokok, I get the point.

Goodbye Great Ear! Leb wohl!

_sniff

^oink?

Ah, ja, soon, soon. Äm, I am keeping The Arr only a few hours longer, for the Talk like a Pirate day, ok?

_oink

is unsettling! I want my Piggy back!

Wallala weiala weia!

OINK!

has been asked a question:

Hey, Überich my super-ego, what do you intend to do about my inner inordinateness? Huh?!?

Hey, I’m only a dwarf. What do you expect?

Aww, lemmme kiss you! (I like dwarves!) SMOOCH!

zzzzz snore

_{Speaking of warped brains…
I wonder how Überich would look with a fish tail.}

...I am busy scrubbing the tub.
The washing machine is occupied (the block shares one in the cellar; very cool concept, imo) and dunno, somehow Comp turned on again… Open the tub spray, HAL!
I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
My name’s not Dave!
You don’t say! And I am not HAL. And you turned me on yourself!

I really am an original Turner.

argh

You talking to me? You talking to me?!?

I mean, I found a goal that looked almost like this one. I just had to change one word. :)
