copy and paste of my mega dummy-spit on SRL today

Must confess, do have a morbid fascination with this forum. Have signed up to a million of these sites and never seen one like this. It's like some sort of ethnographical phpBB lord of the flies study or some shit.
Don't know much about the horribly history of vicious cruelty around this site but I think of this forum now as if it were a hikikomori household of 5 or 6 recluses, shut in for years with just their own filth for company. Parents (moderator) braindead and rotting in the corner, members left to fend for themselves. The stench and decay everywhere, they're inured to it, no longer notice it. Rotting pizza and hot dogs. Hygiene and manners long gone, they've gone feral. With such total unmoderated freedom to do and say what they want to anyone, they turn on each other occasionally but stay here in the darkness because they're out of options and after so long in each other's company it's a comfortably numb malaise.
Usually with these forii, of the top 10 or so most prolific posters, 3 or 4 will be thought of as dicks. And of the top 5 most prolific, 2 will be sworn mortal enemies. Except here, incredibly - and this is the defining point of this most peculiar forum - everyone except Adam and Renfield and a handful of others comes across as a mean wanker. And yet over years and years cooped up together, they've become convinced their shit dont stink. Some sort of collective herd arrogance and condescension as a coping mechanism or some jane goodall bullshit. "You're not funny." "Keep trying." "This is not your thing" to the newbie. Then the same poster will immediately turn around and post some dreadfully unfunny horseshit. When Lumpy or Jor El do this every single day I always think of the ugly stepsisters. Not saying I'm a Cinderalla but I don't have to do much to come out looking prettier than either of these two.
Then they'll post "we need more chicks here".
Oh dear.
They're not coming, old chap.
Nobody is.
Someone cracks a joke about having sex with a posters 3-year old daughter in the future. Everyone piles on. Sorry, but that's a fairly obvious ban for all concerned. Even a mental midget like me doesn't want to hang around that shit. Don't worry, the moderator will sort it out. Nope, that's his brain-dead corpse right there in the bukkake queue, propped up Weekend at Bernie's-style.
The near-total lack of self-deprecation by the remaining 6 or so here should've been another alarm bell. Never a good sign when the cultish delusion manifests itself as near-total self-belief.
I'm still the first new forum member to crack 100 posts in the last 5 years.
I will be the last.
