Joined before me,similar amount of posts...similar amount of reading of,prior to posting. -different outlook.. on a fellow member,who had been on site since......Dec 2005 with ..4.000 * posts to his credit
Gerom6
Actually I am happy that he is banned. Though I have not contributed much to this site, I have however viewed virtually every post on this site, and I have found that monster has been a great poster (in terms of compliments and flattery) but a really bad person as he never once proved that he was himself.
Please dont take this as an attack on your opinion Gerom6,just using your post to illustrate a point.
I ask you,did you read Monsters earlier posts where he like most of us newbies,asked genuine questions perhaps supported others, (i dont recall-not totally into analyzing all and sundry on here.)
Dont you think a fellow member perhaps especially the long term members deserve some respect,they have earnt there credibility,surely.
He chose not to validate himself (you know of choice,.. you have the right to choose etc..)
I dont think you can state he was lying to himself/and all other people who complimented the images....it was there choice to do so,and if they believed it was him/or not,if it was there fantasy to believe, well there choice..surely)
Do you think any person would could become jaded' after an amount of time on here.?
(as in SICK' of being called a Faker..sick of defending himself possibly for several years etc)
- i think a mod has stated that the pics in yr profile dont have to be yours.as long as they are not...whatever/cant recall specificlly)
I dont believe he or anyone else has to 'prove themselves' ( as i believe Monster stuck to his guns re that-admirable,in my books)
--and i geuss another 1001 posts will follow
--but he was a fake'.
..you DONT know that/and THATS whats annoyed and upset many folk on this board/site (in my opinion)
We with partial profiles, no pics etc would not be lpsg members if there was a requirement to prove' ourselves!
As i mentioned earlier i have not read the TOS but can safely assume i would not be here..if there was criteria insisting that i come up with proof of me being me.
I think myself,if legitimacy revolves around a specific sign...incl the .org...proves your legit..(sorry Rob-not taking the piss with the idea) well all well and good/but it really still proves very little in my books.(as others have mentioned elsewhere.)
Heard of...'its the best we have got'
In fact if it was a requirement and i wanted to remain on site, i would probably source out a mate with a large dik,who was prepared to..and get all the requiremnts done..FAKE that i am'
( so poses the question-how many of those exist)
I also ask,is there a form of perfection that some may seek in others,especially other lpsg members
Acceptance,i think is a key word on a site like this.
