ATTENTION Date Saturday, April 20, 2024 - 05:59 AM PST Topic This Website There is no nice way to say this, and that pisses me off. Some of you are unwelcome here. This is a vibey and often squishy place, and some of you are walking shmeng. If you don't know what those words mean, if you haven't read the glossary, the rules and the suggestions, if you unaware of who the editors and moderators are, then you don't belong here. We came here to bitch about you, to have the soul cleaning of letting that shmeng go with people who can help us laugh it off. And you are laughing with us, at yourselves. It is hard to get clean in a mud bath. You are pissing in our Wheaties. Let me really clear here: this site is about the shit that makes life yucky and unfun. You (and most of you know who you are) are that same shit in person shape. We have never had to 'ban' anyone, or tell anyone to never come back. We have never had to email people privately to tell that they are being jerks and fools and that they need to leave. (I have sometimes done this, but only as an individual, not 'the Shmeng Membership' as a united entity). The unwanted and unwelcome used to just leave after a week or so. But now, we are getting so many unwelcome everyday that you, the unwelcome, are starting to support each other. You make it an 'us against them' game, a very shmengy game. It's not 'us against them'. You are not the 'us' here. You are the 'them'. And we want you to go away. This is not your playground, these are not your toys, and your mother is calling you. We are a very loving group usually. We love to have new members and fawn all over them. If we haven't fawned on you, what does that tell you? We respond to the posts of the people that we care about with kindness, thought, and hopefully good debate skills. If we are not responding to you, what does that tell you? Do we defend your posts? Do we defend your right to speak? Do we delete mean posts on your pic? Do we answer you when you message us? Do we go out of our way to message you? Have we done ANYTHING to make you feel welcome and loved? If not maybe you should examine why you come here and why you stay. Is it because you like a good fight? Is it because you get to bash someone else's ideas? Is it because you think you will meet a 'gothbabe'? In short are you here to make shmeng or are you here to get away from it. If you are here to be a jerk, to make waves, or to get laid, go somewhere else. There are oodles of places that you can go; we can even give you suggestions. But go, and go now. This does NOT mean everyone. Age is not a factor, sex is not a factor, just brain matter. If you are in doubt at all, wondering if you are a shmeng bomb or not, email or message me or ick. We will tell you. Its better to know that you are loved than to wonder if you are hated, and we would love to get to know you better.
