Is the Web a "dark hole" for "lonely" people?

[TechZ]

There are always two sides to everything, the Internet can be what the judge said, or it can be the exact opposite. Most of the people I meet arent "lonely" people and I dont find the Web a "dark hole".

I think Trip should be banned for calling us all names and trying to start a fight.

I think that you'd probably love an enema.

Yes, I agree, it can be the exact opposite.
Perhaps I am taking her comments out of context, but she linked both mental illness and loneliness together.

...people who have mental illnesses or people who are lonely

So, I take it that I am the only one who found these statements insulting many online community participants and members.

Ouch ! (for poor old Trip !) ... I believe that trumps my 'lunatic picture' by a little too far ?...

Thanks. Bookmarked for later perusal.

So, what are we really arguing about here? Is the subject: Will wax from melted nipple clamps plug the hot tub filter or not? Or is it: Are retards the only ones who spend so much time on the net that they have no time for real people? Me, I vote for giving lonely people wax nipple clamps to sell on Ebay or chew on as they see fit.

It wasnt professional of the judge to make those remarks.

[TripleRLtd]

Yeah, I agree, and I am going to see if I can find what else she had to say about this, like a transcript or something.










btw, I was going to let that barb slide cleete, but nah...
So:

And jitBob: good question. I'm not really sure any longer. Although I did glean the following from -ed's website:

2. Social Loneliness

"The individual feels cut off from a group that he or she feels is important. . .ostracism, exile. . ." This type of loneliness is often imposed on minority groups. (and rednecks...)

Defined more accurately, social loneliness is what you feel when you are unwillingly cut off from a social group that IS very important for your survival or well-being, and there's nothing you can do about it right now.

Now note cleete's sig:

All alone, no one loves me

Or this thread...amongst many others:

What all do I do that pisses you off so much that I am so hated here?

Or, the famous:
"bwaaaahhh....Stop stalking me...bwaaaahhh"
But, seriously cleete, lift your head up, you are well liked here.

[Cleetus]

Ban him :butt:

Dude, you spend to much time and effort on this stuff

[TripleRLtd]

Come on, that's it???
What a disappointment you are sometimes.
It's all good fun isn't it?

[WebHead]

It is just me and my computer in a dark room plotting ways to take over the earth in my own virtual fantasy world. I am alone and psychotic.

HA!! Just kidding :banana dude:

No

[TripleRLtd]

No

Then why did you have to start? Huh? Why crap all over what I would have preferred to be a serious thread?

It was all me?

whatever, anyway,I think it is true, esp watching the way you are acting now.
