[QUOTE=What Exit?] Actually, I apologize, that was unnecessarily harsh. I saw your post in preview and I tacked on my first thought to my post to **CarnalK**. I shouldn’t have. [/QUOTE] You might also give pause to wonder why I was lumped in with \*\*fetus \*\* on the matter of socks, seeing as how I haven’t complained one whit about socks. That’s the problem with unsolicitied facilitation; the facilitator becomes the focal point at which all parties will snipe. I actually like \*\*CarnalK \*\* as a poster. I just found the existence of his board (and the other one) to be vaguely creepy, in almost a Hinckley-Foster kind of way. It’s possible that some childhood memories have influenced me in this regard. It’s just that sometimes people freak out for all kinds of reasons, including medical, and documenting them or making fun of them is just bewilderingly sick to me. To his credit, though, \*\*CarnalK \*\* has cleaned his place up considerably. ---

Is the other place **CarnalK** ’s creation or are you talking about the trainwreck website he used to have linked in his profile? The trainwreck place did not seem too bad. He gave some honest opinions of users that I don’t always agree with, but it did serve as an interesting history of the dark side if the SDMB. It seemed like in most cases he allowed peoples own words do the work for him. I might need to check it out again, last I looked, he had stopped maintaining it. It was a good place to learn about Wally at least. Jim ---

No. > [@](#): > > Is the other place **CarnalK** ’s creation or are you talking about the trainwreck website he used to have linked in his profile? To be honest, I’m not sure if I know one from the other. All I know is that I stumbled upon the site that CarnalK maintains. Right now, pumped full of Buspirone and Clonazepam, I couldn’t care less. But at that time, I cried. I want to be better than I am, but alas I’m not. ---

[QUOTE=lobstermobster] Seems like everyone is trying to use reverse reverse reverse psychology about how they feel about either board and their ability to get offended. [/QUOTE] Or maybe some people just really don’t care. I’ll tell you the truth, that I care very much. But I can’t really do anything about the way this place is run, so I just try to keep my opinions to myself. I also can’t do anything about the Unnameable Place, except never, ever go there again. ---
