Rant - my rant

In my last post, 353fins was about to leave the site because he thought this was a serious surfing site, but realized in part thanks to my "very old design" question that it wasn't. Then after seeing WaveGlider's serious surf quiver, changed his mind and decided to stay.

That's like the third or fourth surf brother I have seen threatening to leave the site this month.

I just don't get why anyone would think this forum would be different than any other forum on the internet. There is NOTHING wrong here. It is just like all the other forums I've ever signed up for. There are as many unfiltered, anonymous opinions as there are users. It's like driving, everyone's right and no one is actually standing face to face with a real human being.

It just is this way. Welcome to the internet.

This is however the only forum I've stayed on and read daily. Maybe because I'm mostly just looking at the surf reports, but I also like the fact that it is a little more personal, I know I'm talking to guys who might even live on the same street as me, streets I can't name because they'd be edited out. Another endearing feature of the community driven site. Kind of cool, but it's still just a website.

I wanted to give my unfiltered opinion that everything is fine here. Nothing is wrong. This is how forums all over the world look in every language.

I'm always swearing off the Huffington Post. I hate the Huffington Post's fear mongering and stories that upset me for days. I really hate that site, but I keep coming back to it. Once I even blocked it.

Dammit! I've been enjoying the statements that people will no longer be making statements. I'm just cynical enough to find that hilarious. And now it will be over...at least it led to unfocused bringing Buggin Out back into my life.

Mlanson, wait until you get a thumbs down. Then you'll see. The whole world starts to crumble and the empty pit in your stomach begins to ache as tears stream down your eyes wondering WHY ME? And then you just want to take your toys and say Screw you guys I'm goin home. At least that's the response I think some folks have here. Like piss says, we're just jackasses on the net. Do we really care what some jack ass thinks? Admittedly, I do sometimes, but in the end its just for a laugh.

3to5 has a flair for the dramatic. I've been reading his posts on various forums for years. Sometimes I get to connect the dots in his posts, like in this one:

Like all things internet, especially internet surf sites, many grains of salt are involved, from me as well.

And @righteousdewd, ha, completely agreed.

Stokers threatening to leave reminds me of the old Dan Hicks tune, "How can I miss you when you won't go away?"

@wrybread. get a job. or an education. just figure out what your tapping out before you tap out such absolute nonsense.

mlanson

I always wonder how many surfers have jobs when I surf during the day and it's crowded. Maybe surfers are just flexible. I guess you have to be in this town. Got to get it when it's there.
