The problem with TK is we eat our young. Then after we are full, we sit around the campfire and beat ourselves over the head for committing such atrocious acts of internecine cannibalism. After further soul searching we decide that it's not good to eat our young. Then it gets quiet and "normal" for a little bit. So we whine and complain to each other that TK sux or TK is dead and boring because it's too quiet and there's no intrigue. So inevitably we start longing again for another fine young cannibal party.
Of course, we all know deep down that it's "bad and uncivilized" to behave like such spoiled brats in our own backyard. But we don't know how to curtail our urge to be such immature little ingrates on TK--what with free speech and all, what are we to do? Post and be merry? NO WEI!! Plus since this is the only board on the internet that lets us get away with such silliness, we throw everything including the kitchen sink at it and then we sit back and wait for the inevitable over/reaction from the staff who's been conditioned by the membership by the way to tolerate all manner of silly crapola from here to kingdom come. A professional staff is of course worthless if they had not learned to bend over backwards to prove evenhandedness and "fairness" to the 10,000 factions at TK. (But whatever, at least there are no true draconians on staff, a happenstance for which those of us lucid enough to know the difference are grateful to the bbs gods and godesses).
As with every free speech experiment in human history, things never turn out the way half of the people hope they would so we always have a discontent other half who storms out forever for a few weeks after which time they quietly slither back in as if they never left. Probably they never did leave--what with an army of a million duals who the fuck knows who's writing what, when or why.
It never ends, only the duals are cycled, and the weather...yes, the weather outside does change--about the only constant we can all count on. And that's a damn good thing, in my opinion.
