I can’t help but wonder why you even continue to post here.

I’ve been here for over 15 years. Old times sake, and I guess I am in some way addicted.

see warb that kind of thnking it what made women not want to come out and accuse people of anything ever.

What kind of thinking? That humans sometimes don’t tell the truth???

in this case yeah, in some ways. i’m not 100% sold on every accusation ever mind you, but if you contest every accuser before believing in them, most of them won’t want to come out of hiding.

You don’t even have to “believe” them, you just have to listen to what they say and evaluate it fairly. And a fair evaluation doesn’t include, “Why would someone be so upset about sexual assault? They must be a hired actress.”

Just going by what I’ve read you say over the years.

If I molest myself and then make a public accusation, would any of you believe me?

I bet if I was a girl some of you would say it didn’t happen.

It is an inarguable fact that humans sometimes lie. Deal with it.

I’ll agree with Warb on one point — this forum ain’t as fun as it used to be.

it’s probably because of me, sorry.

I think that’s mostly because we’ve lost so many great posters, and there’s really no way for this forum to grow.

Maybe the world has changed.

The world… is changing.

But really, this forum predates Facebook. The forums of old have kind of been tossed aside in the wake of social media, for the most part. That makes growing a userbase considerably tougher than it used to be.

Facebook mostly sucks. You think it’s bad when we have forum hiccups, try entire threads vanishing into the ether and no way to get them back. The mod of one group I hang out in has to manually archive threads deemed important after one with a lot of great info went boom. I frequently have replies that have gone up in a puff a smoke when I return to a thread as well.

And twitter could never foster the kind of communities we have here and at FE. Twitter is such a dumpster fire at times, I hope I eventually see it’s demise. But whatever supersedes it might actually be worse.
