RP, I still haven't seen a mention of you there, though someone has started a thread about another poster in this thread. | | | |

Sorry Jason_els, as much as I do respect you, I've heard way too much about the other site to reasonably think that me joining and opening my mouth to speak there would be akin to sticking my cock in a nest of fire ants.

Like I said, I was informed someone was being harsh about me, but I haven't see or read it. I'm just pissed someone I seriously doubt I know feels they can openly bitch behind my back.  | | | |

All well and good and each to their own.
However, I was just informed that folks from here openly bitch and slag people from here off behind their backs over their and yes, comments have been made about me.
I'm not a member of the other side so I haven't been able to see what and even who has said what but talk about if you can't say it to my face, say it behind my back.
Frankly, I'm kinda grossed out and a bit upset by it.
What's your opinion on this? | My opinion is that site was created just for that, talking shit about people behind their backs... I guess it's the new OLPSG now | | | |

| | | I did not like it there. Most of the people who post know each other and it is hard to fit in.
The best thing about that site it is that if you are banned from here you can go over there and bitch about it. | | | |

| | | Gertrude Atherton once wrote about the Algonquin Round Table, Quote: |
They met at the sign of the Indian Chief where the cleverest of them—and those who were so excitedly sure of their cleverness that for the moment they convinced others as well as themselves—foregathered daily. There was a great deal of scintillating talk in this group of the significant books and tendencies of the day....They appraised, debated, rejected, finally placed the seal of their august approval upon a favored few.
| As a protest site, the members of That Other Place have nothing else to bind them as a community but their bitter, mean-spirited nature. Take heart in being rejected by them, since being accepted by them would be a far greater insult. | | | |

There are many cross members and there is more than just bitching about the people and policies here. I do not deny that said bitching is a big topic at That Other Place (wry analogy btw), but as it grows, I hope those threads will become the minority. I think it also fair to state that you have been the focus of some of the conversations there so I don't doubt your opinion of That Other Place is at least partially colored by that.
I hope that if you do go there from time to time, as you obviously have, that you do take note of some of the complaints about LPSG. I believe some of them are legitimate despite the impolite ways they may be expressed. | | | |

| | | I've been aware of the other site almost since it's inception. I even had an account there briefly. I didn't like it, too much bitterness and contempt for my gentle nature. What bothered me the most was the number of people with dual memberships and apparently dual personalities. I don't mean multiple accounts. I mean the many LPSG.org members, who chose to go over there and bitch about the rest of us over here. Then they come back here and blow smoke up our internet butts as if they had never been to the OLPSG. I don't like two-faced people in real life and I damn sure don't like them online. I haven't logged in there since before Christmas. I have had some tell me there are many who hate me over there, that's reason enough for me to stay here. I don't go where I'm not wanted. Quote:

I'd be a tad curious to know how many members over there just stumbled upon the site and aren't banned or disgruntled members from here. Quote:

| | | This is the site:
(EDIT: The owner of LPSG has requested that no links to the site be published on this forum. Luv, Pecker.)
(EDIT: Another reason why this place blows. And not in a good way. Luv, Simcha.)
Visit sometime.

What can I say? It's a website and the same as this one, it has good and bad features. Perhaps one day I will give it another look. For now, this place seems much more to my liking in terms of variety and volume. | | | |

I think not allowing links to That Other Place is a huge mistake. You have just given That Other Place power over LPSG.

| | | I never knew about the site, but now I'm kinda curious if I've been mentioned on there. Not enough to actually join or request a link or anything. I know that if I have been, it'd be in the same nature they apparently talk of others... with their heads shoved up their asses. | | | |

| | | Even it's clear in this thread how sweeping generalizations are made though guys. We are generalizing everyone over there as a bunch of bitching banned members. Not everyone over there is bitching or talking about others behind their backs, there are lots of members that went there because their friends are there and they prefer to be somewhere away from the chaos here.  | | | |
