This puts Robin in a vicious cycle wherein he is torn between trying to show that he doesn't care about being excluded, being on his best behavior in order to gain access, and giving in to his natural tendencies whereby he drives himself even further from being in the Crypt. At this point, he tries to show that he didn't care in the first place, and the cycle repeats itself.

We also talk about boobs and stuff.

Hey AA, I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't like to be a part of the crypt. I would. I just think that Mike doesn't want me there, and I know that if that is the case, then it would be foolish to set my heart on it. That is the long and short of it.

I enjoy the rest of what CG has to offer, and will live with that.

Good grief Robin. I read the first third of that thing and just got too tired.

Was it dumb that he deleted it? Sure.

Your obsession over it is dumber.

If there was anything that drove me nuts more than anything else in the mission, it was the faux grave and earnest voice. If i speak differently the spirit will be present. Last time I checked, he's pretty much there when discussing the gospel without yelling, but that's just me.

Lingo is an act. He pretends to not care what anyone thinks about him. However if that were true, he wouldn't put nearly as much time and effort into it.

Lingo is Lingo. Who isn't pathetic? Feeling the need to write what you just wrote above is sort of pathetic, don't you think? But you did it. Oh well.

J.L. You are probably better liked here than your pride will allow you to admit. But I have to agree with you... I am surprised at how thin some people's skin can be over here.

What is the motivation for somebody to speak to an audience whose opinion does not matter to him? Is he practicing for the opportunity to someday converse with someone whose opinion DOES matter to him? Is he merely enamoured with the sound of his own voice? Or does he gain as much pleasure from seing one embrace his own ideology as he does from watching others wallow below him in a state of inferiority, such that he is indifferent to their state?

As much as Robin has antagonized board members here, he at least attempts to represent views he holds to be important. I may rarely agree with what he says, but I can at least respect his attempts to discuss them with civility. You, on the other hand, have no interest in participation, but seem rather to be aroused by your own presence.

Why the interest in other people's motivation? Everyone is here for a slightly different nuanced version of the same reason -- we like to read and blather about the kinds of subjects that get posted here, and we enjoy the quirky collection of personalities that the site has drawn (like moths to a zapper-light?).

Lingo is one of the quirky personalities that, for whatever reason, has decided to pitch a tent in this campground. I doubt I am alone when I say that I am glad that he is here, even though we agree on next to nothing. I like Lingo like I like mustard on my turkey sandwich. I might not ever pull a jar of Dijon out of the fridge and plow through it like it was yoplait, but on a SANDWICH it is perfect.

We should spend more time making people feel like they are at home. Too many good people have already felt like they needed to pack up camp and pitch their tent elsewhere. There have been some unfortunate losses.

You're probably right. Sorry, Lingo; I was out of line.

Yet another instance of dicator-like behavior by the CG mods. Or maybe just one. Whoever it was.

You are more like CB than you care to admit.

This has all been very diverting. Thanks for the laughs, and pass the popcorn.
