Really...that's sad.

There was once a divo who had reached the top in a blaze of sycophany. He was the King, or at least a Prince. Publicly, he basked in his notoriety, acting as if it was life to die for.

Privately, things were quite different. Celebrity might look like fun, but it's hard work. You always have to find a way to stay on top. That meant lotsa networking, Iming and ornoting, on top of all the incessant posting. Soon, our Star was spending 16 hours a day just staying where he was.

At first, he deluded himself that the perks were orth it. Free boots, plenty of cybersex, kudos galore, a hit thread every day. Pretty fast, it was necessary to cut on sleep just to have three nutritious meals a day and pretend to work a little.

Steadily, his treads started to suffer, to the point where he found it necessary to create not one, but two extra accounts to make it look like someone was wildly interested. He called that "kick starting the thread".

One day, after too little sleep, he logged on under the wrong acoount, which was a female personality, a man hungry socialite. He created a thread about his favorite Playboy centerfolds, not using any gender-identifying pronouns. The Org male constituancy cheered at this apparent display of lesbianism, and our divo found himself also becoming a diva.

Unwilling to give up the celebrity of either identities, he pushed himself to the point of exhaustion, becoming cranky and quite anti-social at times. He was caught flaming and got banned.

No longer able to post on the Org, our poor slob went absolutely mad. He's now "resting" in some institution, heavily sedated.

Very sad!

By the way, Althom... watch out. You're becoming too famous for your own good.

I haven't had a chance to read the GD threads too often lately and almost feel like I've been away. A lesser mortal would have announced his departure and basked in the supplications of people begging him to reconsider, but I don't need that. I don't need to be "popular" and to prostitute my threads to attain ultimate Org fame. Not me, sir.

I don't need to be a . I've been a before and know how the pressures of celebrity can insidiously overtake your life. Yes, the attention is nice, but it makes you soft. The free cybersex is admittedly addictive, but you know it's basically AM, or Assisted Masturbation. The fans can also be demanding. Soon you feel like you should be a role model. I'd rather role-play with a Colt model, ok?

So leave me alone. I shall be contented with groupie-free anonymity, thankuverymuch.
