Bingo. I do, too. Roachboy can mop the floor with my ass all day long but I still feel like if I said something halfway intelligent, he'd acknowledge it. I learn a lot from the people I don't necessarily agree with. I argue with Snowy about marijuana, I think DK is a nutjob extremist, I totally dig Shauk's weird stories, etc... but I genuinely value their input because it isn't me feeding me the shit I wanna hear. If that's defined as conflict then it's safe to say that I get off on it. I wouldn't get this anywhere else, especially not from my "social network" of like-minded baby-killers. TFP puts fiber in my mental diet.

Where's your legendary prostate-punching confidence? And let's redefine the "in crowd" as people that post once a week instead of those that post nothing and then act all neglected when the board has problems. If you're not posting, how does anybody know you're even here? I don't want to hear the bullshit about how people's posts get ignored. I've posted and bombed plenty of threads (Nobody wanted to take pictures of their knees, I see how it is). It's just page inches. Get over it. You can't drop an earthshatterer every day, guys. The point is that you have to Say Anything.

Huh, I don't see it like that. I think the Jazz's comment was a sarcastic pointer that reflects the sentiment of threads like this where everybody is standing around with their arms folded. People come out of the woodwork to express their opinion only at the lowest point instead of saying something at any other time or actively participating in the site. This isn't a middle school dance where you look around to see what everybody else is doing to make sure you're not too weird. It's okay to put yourself out there. Some of you post your dicks, for chrissakes. It's the anonymous Intarweb. No excuses.
