i've been fooled at least a couple times, you seem genuinely real enough to me. i don't want you to think this directed at you but i still feel that i am tiptoeing around here on egg shells because of a few overpowered whales who have elevated illogic to a mania and have turned this into their very own little playground of retribution. then they post this madness and armies of sycophants lap up this drivel and upvote it into the stratosphere. then if you make the mildest of comments pointing out a legitimate logical fallacy you are crushed into oblivion. negativity is not my stock in trade, i do begin to wonder, though, if my efforts might be less oppressed or tossed aside elsewhere. i've made the most from the things i've done that are the least meaningful to me and things that i see the most value in are not even seen by any except my core followers and friends. there are decent people here but sometimes i wonder how many. what is of value to these whales? i see 10 whole posts of any actual value in 30 day trending right now and they are not near the top moneyed. sorry about the rant. i'm just thinking my time here is almost done. it's frustrating. i have friends here but i thought it would be a more beneficial experience. i don't think i've made much of a difference, not for lack of trying. maybe i'll post this and see if someone crushes my reputation.
