Take your focus and energy off of them, and move it to everybody else. Easier said than done I know, but I truly think that it's the answer.
Seriously, just think what would happen if only 1/4 of the population ditched their TVs and started having street parties...

Okay, so you finance the forum, and then you check in on it 20 minutes a day (like you told me)? Who else couldn't do this?
So sorry for not being on your Top 10 list. I've got a secret for ya though: it was never my fuckin' ambition mate!
By the way, I'm not sure if you realize this, Torsten, but this community does not need SAB to survive... Haven't you noticed the amount of meet-ups which this group of people have? Well then, it should tell you something...
To all of the people who respect the 1000+ contributions I've made: You are very welcome!

Distracted - I completely agree that this is a community. What I don't agree with however is that Torsten is the creator and owner of it... he is simply one of its several facilitators.
"A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm."

(No, Torsten, this isn't a threat!)

Shush dude... you'll jinx us!
lol
just the sheer thought of that made me laugh, i wonder what self important business men would wear otherwise to display their wealth.

That's what I thought as well?

i'm tempted to quote everything in this thread and say aww.. i lubs you all anyway
Including Torsten?
The events of the last few days just made me decide to level with you because at the current rate you're out of here pretty soon.

I vote to ban the Suit. It has caused much more harm than any bong has...

I seriously hope no-one gets banned or leaves and I really hope people stop taking things so personally.
Including Torsten?

Mental condition and state of mind are hardly dissimilar by definition.
I agree.
Would you care to explain what more it means to you?
Have you seen the film The Hurt Locker? You can see a lot of paranoia in that, but most of it is needed to stay alive.
If you don't consider it paranoia, then I don't know what else to call it. Extremely cautious maybe?
im starting to get paranoid about being paranoid

Politicians are fucking lame.

It means more to me than that. I usually find that dictionary definitions don't encompass enough...
Paranoia is a state of mind that anybody can have IMO. It doesn't always have to be a mental condition.
-
Don't some words get new meanings over time? Surely paranoia means more now than it did in 1891?
-
Something tells me you're just trying to stir shit.
From somebody who would rather neg than converse, I'll take that as a compliment.

Mining is great. Mining for the inner human in the outer machine, etc. Just great.
mr b.caapi - Have you seen Red Dog? If not, then I recommend that you do.

Uh, didn't you just suspend eatfoo for personal attacks?!
nope, he got suspended for abusing the ratings system. I thought this thread made that pretty clear
So he was just unfairly rating content then was he? Riiiggghhht....
Way to treat a devoted member, guy!
He might have been in times past, but lately he just comes here to whine about the forums and about me. I don't have time to respond to all of this tripe, but every now and then I'll take the bait.
Besides what I've read from him here, I don't know what you're talking about. ?
I am just sick of people calling other people paranoid. Because you know what? It's a good fucking day and age to be paranoid!
It's never good to be paranoid. paranoia is based on fear rather than facts. if you have fear about something you have no facts about then that is a waste of time & emotions, both for yourself and others. I think you probably meant that it is a good time for more people to be aware and questioning. Not quite the same thing as the latter does not involve a mental disorder.
Yeah, that's what I basically meant. The ability to question every ad and so on. It isn't valued here as much as it should be IMHO. It does seem to be getting better in the long-term though.
A little paranoia still has value IMO. And saying that it doesn't is like saying that you would be perfectly calm and rational in a war zone...

The idea that the rating system facilities personal attacks seems kind of absurdly paranoid to me.
I can honestly say I never felt that I was being attacked, I see taking people too seriously as being incredibly petty, especially when it relates to online behavior.
Torsten, you are fucking hilarious when you are a smart ass.
It's not harassment to negatise every single post by somebody? Fair enough...
Why are you happy with eatfoo being suspended then, Archaea?
I, like some others here, took these "ratings" as personal attacks.
Someone less paranoid would probably think it's about content not personal attack and thus adjust their content. It's easier though to pretend its just a personal attack and that here is nothing wrong with the content.
Uh, didn't you just suspend eatfoo for personal attacks?!
but I will always drop in some thought provoking material or pertinent news
Good to know that at least you think of it that way. I thought you only came here to spread negativity, criticise the forum and whinge about being victimised. Maybe I missed some posts

Psychedelic - "Mind-manifesting"
What a person does with the manifestations is up to them. There is a lot of responsibility involved.

You're welcome, Distracted.
Quoted for truth. People are only against you if you position it that way. I think it was even you sync who posted a quote something along the lines of....
"Its worse to be offended then offend"
Or something like that.
Wasn't me dude.
Maybe you guys should support more open source download games. Constant developement without the constraints of budgets or ratings.....

Yeah, apparently others as well...
eatfoo has been suspended for abuse of reputation system

Yet threatening to ban people whenever they question your arrogance does?
I to am willing to take it all public, Torsten. People need to know how much of a dick you really are. The only thing you don't tolerate is any intolerance to your intolerance. And let me tell ya, the range of your intolerance is pretty friggin' vast...
