Alright, lemme try to explain. As you pointed out, the whole point of the anarchy forum is to be without rules, which by extension means to act somehow differently/crazier/goofier than you would "normally" (in TFP or wherever). I feel like it's the place where everyone "lets down their hair," and in that sense, puts on another hat or becomes a little goofy or just acts somehow different over there.

But for me, there is just no crazier/goofier. If I go over to C:A, under this screenname or another, I'll still act the same way... there's just no other "side" to me that is currently repressed or restrained by TFP, so I see no reason to go to C:A because I don't need the rules to be lifted. I would function the same way with the rules or without the rules.

Basically I have never really had a problem with the SOP here, so I don't feel a need to go "let loose" elsewhere. I see no benefit to participating in C:A.
