Why Did I Bother?

Post by _Droopy »

Not that it matters (or that I give a damn), but, after some poking around in the support section of Wordpress, I was able to change the blog address so that it is no longer misspelled.

Although this was, (obviously), simply an oversight and typo, it was given great weight and gravitas here. I'm now sorry to have pulled so many of you away from the deep and penetrating insights and intellectual nourishment to be found on this message board, from your continual consumption of mind altering substances, and from Returned Missionary Girls Gone Wild to my humble blog.

Please, indeed, stay away from it, as I want it to be, ultimately, a far, far better place for discussion and debate than this fetid intellectual and spiritual charnal house.

If you want us to stay away from it, why the hell have you gone out of your way to talk about it and promote it on this board?

It's a brer rabbit kind of thing.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Surely the internet is big enough for both sites.

by the way, you bother because you are a seeker of light, truth and rabble rousing and you are needed here.

But does Droopy have any place to go anymore?

We seem to be the only venue that still enjoys having the opportunity to appreciate his unique qualities - though not perhaps for the reasons he would prefer.

He does have other places he is welcome.

I'm glad to hear that Droopy has a special place to go whenever he feels he needs to.

Why, Droopy, did you bother?

Probably because you have no other forum for doing your hell, fire and brimstone preaching or castigating devils like us critics.

You need us, intensely.

I feel kind of bad for the guy. It's hard to feel like you don't fit any particular mold. We may not like the mold that he's trying to craft for himself, but that doesn't mean it's not a bit sad to watch.
Hey listen don't you let 'em get your mind...

Yup, it's sad all right. But he never listens much to anybody, so I have stopped feeling sorry for him. Droopy thinks Droopy is pretty great, and that's apparently about all he needs by way of validation.
