You know I wanted to apologize for not yet answering your fair question. I did dodge it intentionally a couple of times, but only because your strong presentation prompted the opportunity for me to tune and tweak my machine for what I saw as a new opportunity to advance in consciousness..
I also want to point out to those following this thread how this fellow's message was really not delivered with hostility. When you review the language, he really simply makes reference that he presents that I spend a lot of time on puter and that he perceives that i purvey good writing skill relative to here, or that I present to THINK that I do. Then he asks the question what motivated me to join. And finally WHY I involve here.
So the POINT is that the HIGH level of his conscious delivery can be perceived as intimidating, and only due to the construct as delivered. So when we open our eyes, it's just a "Smarty-pants" delivery of a real fair inquiry.
SO back @ BB69, sorry for all the drama back acha, but you kinda REQUESTED IT, did ya not. I aims to please...!
No I don't stay on my computer that much. I joined here back in my mid thirties simply because a friend told me it might be a good place to learn about Steroids/TRT which I was pondering as age prevailed over my bones looming. I learned a lot with some good help here, but I also had a good time so I kept coming back. I do not have any relation with ANYONE here other than what you see in print here and a PM or two over the years. I have never met anyone here in person. I saw Millard once in an interview they linked in here where he was discussing steroids in some public radio/video I don't recall. So truly, I am just any other guy here, and doing my best to give some back, as I further attempt to learn cause we always continue to grow and not matter whether the teacher or student - we are all both. And YES, I do accept the TERM "Bastard" as a TERM OF ENDEARMENT as I would probably deliver harmlessly the same. I got that. I was just on a tear that day, and again, someone here (YOU) prompted a chance to learn and grow. So all that rant was not meant to be hostile toward YOU. It was a "fictional depiction of abstract" and directed at EVIL, which challenges ALL OF US/ALL THE TIME.. No offense Brotha..! None was taken.. The "driving force", I don't really know for sure beyond the above description, but if you are asking if there is any Financial incentive to me the answer is a definite NO. It actually probably costs me money to be here. But I have been in a not so good place with my professional career lately, so I also come here to procrastinate a bit truly. I never mean to foul...
I will point out how it also provided me the opportunity to "stamp out evil" when I got the opportunity to clarify my position with the next poster (Brutus79). It made me very happy to be able to put a GOOD SPIN on my interaction with him. And I only hope that all others can use as example to do the same/"pay it forward" so to speak. Which is why I now return here to be sure you received my tale as trivial, and with its primary intent to EXCLUDE you from being "The Devil", as a presentation of the most far out side of negativity that could be potentially negatively construed from you inquiry. THE POINT, to show how IGNORANCE (even mine) can lend negativity, and SOLELY because of lack of CONSCIOUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the English Utilized. I do hope you received it well, as I later realize it was kinda profound, so to be safe and disclaim...
BUT ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW FEAR ALWAYS SURFACES WHENEVER WE (the human animal) run across something which we don't understand!! I made a joke once pertaining to the question of other life in the Universe aside from Earth, and if ET exists and is active around our world. You can then visualize a couple of hillbillies in the woods with guns who stumble upon ET just minding his own business and their first instinct
YOU KNOW is to KILL IT and ask questions later.. LOL When all along SAFETY ALWAYS DIRECTS FOR
CAUTION, but for the reason of ANIMAL we always do the ONE OF the Far Extremes - SHOOT or Haul Ass..!!! LOL Go figure.
So I once PROPOSED that if there is ANYTHING on the Dark Side of the Moon which we are unaware/ It's probably a SIGN which clearly states "Don't Feed The Animals..!" And most likely written in a "Hidden Ink" which we are unaware of the proper "Decoder Ring...! LOL
ALL GOOD HERE... Hope the same with you.
And good tidings to ALL always..!
Haven't seen felt the rays from your sunshine in quite some time? I'd like to say the Doc does much more than you do to help out the community but then i'd be haunted by the eyes of Rasp in your avi and I'd also be making an uninformed statement because we don't cross paths often enough for me to know exactly what it is you do besides the obvious....maintain your position as being thought of as one of the more highly educated members who's vocabulary is in the top 5% and who joined meso a short time after I did.
I'd be curious as to what circumstances saw you register as a member here at meso? I'd ask the same of the Doc.
What was the driving force for both you bastards?
