"I don't belong here anymore"

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.

Some of the users here (on SR, not in this particular forum nessasarily) seem to think that because you were voted as a notable, they own you, or have a say in everything you post.

Your first point may be valid. If you don't feel like there is anything to reply to then maybe it is time to move on, or just to post your own interesting stuff.

The second point is ridiculous (but perhaps understandable). If you don't feel you're "intelligent" enough to post as a notable why were you voted to be notable in the first place?

Being notable doesn't mean that you have to be right all the time, or exude an air of authority. At the end of the day its just a popularity contest in order to mark the most popular people in a lovely urine hue.

Unbeliever, read mine and comment on it. Its called "Torture".

You want a story? Ok, I'll post part one of something i've been working on.

I post in life but I'm not all that exceptionally intelligent. Maybe my posts are rubbish however...
Ah well.

And me!

Ros, you are an exceptionally talented writer if nothing else. Airing your views on the internet is the easiest thing to do because you never have to meet any of the people who read your views if you dont want to. I would advise you to be yourself, post what you really feel and write some more stories because the forums are living on the rubbish me and RoJ are writing at the moment.

Yes, I read it in the Notable Election forum. It was well said.

Yeah, I agree. I think I made a point about this yesterday when I was in a red haze.
