A New Voice of Un-Reason
Hi everyone,
A co-worker of mine, whose screen name I don't know off the top of my head spends a lot of time on this forum and told me it was a place I could chat a low-flame rate. Sounded like a good day to me.
I've been looking for something like that for a long time, I harken back to the long-ago days of the Deep Thoughts chat. Now we're talking 15 years ago in the strange and wild BBS days, but in the beginning it was a popular chat that encouraged Deep Thought (imagine). Of course, it eventually moved to the new-fangled web and went completely to pot. As soon as people realized they could tell others to F-Off without reprise, it was all over.
A few years later, I found a Religion and Philiosophy room on Lycos and for a while things were good. Not unexpectedly it turned into a cyber-sex parlour. I suppose people wanted to commune with God in a new way.
So, every few years I wander into a new board and hope that it won't blow up. I used to use a more imflammitory screen name (kingofallcanadians) which people tended to think was an ego thing. In fact, it was a name I used when I called in to Howard Stern's show (he being the self-proclaimed King of All Media), but inevitably people would think that I was referring to myself as the greatest Canadian, and television told me last year that The Greatest Canadian was Tommy Douglas...so that's that.
Anyhow...hope this is a good experience. Looking forward to it. I hope to waste hours of paid company time in here.
