I don't fit in. I'm not clever enough to fit in with the intelligent ones among you in the life, but I'm not benal enough to fit in with the majority of users using the Chat forum.
I'm logged in here most of the time reading topics trying to find something to reply to, somsthing I have an opinon on, but I can go days without posting because 1. there often isn't anything I want to reply to, and 2. I feel that certain things are expected of me which prevent me from really airing my views on things. And I'm taken so much more seriously than I ever was before. I'm rarely serious about anything, so its a bit worrying in itself
There are also a few of you who will never take me seriously because I'm one of few females in a forum thats mostly populated by guys. I guess a lot of the things guys want to talk about when they get together is stuff that I can't really participate in.
I think the forums have gone down hill since the loss of the GAD for posting. A lot of the Users whom I used to spend my time disscusing things with have moved on. I have also wondered if things would be better for me if I could get my Purpleness back.
All in all, I wonder if it's time for me to move on, and accept that I don't really belong here anymore. But I seem to get drawn back here when I'm sat at work with nothing to do. And this is one of the few places left where I am me and not part of the Ros/Ogre entity.
I'm not sure what my pointis, but I don't feel worthy of being a notable here any more, and as much as I try to fit in, I can't help but feel like an outsider. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, and I'm fairly sure that your answer will be for me just to leave and not to cause a fuss about it.

The fact that you are going to stand out and be more noticed that other posters is a trait of being a notable. If you didnt think you would enjoy having some virtual limelight you could have asked people specifically not to vote for you. I do not judge you any differeny for being a notable except you have a funny coloured name however if you feels it hinders your posting on the forums I am sure SR will purplise you again. Sorry for any annoyance I have caused to you.

Well, he's implying that there are some sort of responsibilities gifted down to the notables from on high, and maybe you can't handle dealing with those magical responsibilities.
Personally I think that your just being a little paranoid, because you feel that your posts will be scrutinised with a finer toothed comb than the rest of our posts, and maybe that's true, but what you need to develop a bull headed stubborness in recognising that if anyone does that they are crediting you with responsibility you shouldn't have, so screw them.
I must say though I'm a little surprised at Kyz. I know I'm not here too often, but I remember Kyz always used to post pretty well thought out stuff. I can't say that I agree with all or even a lot of his theories, but this seemingly irrational behaviour isn't what I would expect of him, and I think he's let himself down.

What? Didn't you know?
You have to submit a hand written report fortnightly concerning the behaviour of other forums members.
You also have to do a presentation in graphical form on the different members and their frequent posting habits.
You also owe your soul to the regulars and newbies and you have to pander to their every whim and need.

I'd like to see when I've ever twisted anyones post to make them a sexist, or an anything else ist. That is not my style. I was mearly asking what you meant by asking if I couldn't take the responsibilty. Particularly as I didn't realise there was any.

What are you implying Kyz
Can't you handle the responsibilities of being a notable Ros?
Ros is right.
Being a Notable doesn't mean you owe anyone a goddam thing.

Maybe they just want to hang out with the cool kids
