Anti-American godlessness? Sexual devicance? Mockery of marriage and human function?

POOK BIGGOTED CONSERVATIVE MONKEY

monkey business as usual...

Don't know POOK--I never had any problems with him, but also never had any particular "bonding", either. There was a day when, because someone else had already publically "outed" POOK's identity, I mentioned his "real name" on a thread. But I quickly edited it out when I realized it wasn't common knowledge, (and at the request of a few Orgers). Sure, I thought it was kinda dorky that he tried using his POOK-speak in the P&R forum to debate or make points--hard to be taken seriously that way, I thought, speaking in half sentences . Anyway, my point is that I think I have relatively neutral personal feelings about him.

So, speaking off of the top of my head after reading this thread--I think it's too bad that he left due to collectively deeming individuals/the site as "sexually depraved", "anti-American", "Godless", "anti-marriage", etc. I can totally understand needing to leave to get one's head back on straight, to prioritize, to clear the air after personal disagreements with others (many of you are all too aware of my own personal battles with a few people here, and that I've taken several breaks, and even used an alter-ego to talk a little shit ). So, I'm hardly insensitive to "leaving the Org" (never started a thread about leaving, though), and I have done my share of being angry.

But I find it puzzling that POOK/TommyAlma glosses over--actually, almost totally ignores--a very important aspect of his decision to leave: that for the most part (other than shitty mods ) we,ourselves, are our own problems here. When I gave myself "time outs" from the Org, I certainly pointed fingers at those who bugged the shit out of me. I accused them of being selfish, lying assholes, etc. But never, ever, ever did I hold myself above the site as a whole or those on it (sorry again to those who still insist they know better than I what my motives were ). For POOK to try to judge and "shame" those who remain and participate on this site, for him to act as if he alone knows who the "great people" are, for him to make such blanket accusations without acknowledging that some of his own shit may very well stink...?

I find it unfortunate, to say the least. And I guess that's all I have to say about that

Well said and I totally agree..

The peeps who leave the Org really do not have a problem with the org as they so point out, they have a problem in themselves..

So stop blaming the Org

bingo!!!

but...i do agree this place fosters a lil to much negative energy...like food, you need a well balanced diet of perspectives and reality...

i look at the amount of posts that some people make and i wonder if this type of forum is a positive attribute to living life to its fullest...thats when i realize that *i* myself shouldnt be concerned..and that possibly *i* am spending to much time online...

thats when you turn the computer off...not go on a "Network" rant...because in the end, its only the fuckin internet... only you are in control of your own happiness..ranting as you exit? what does one achieve by it?


big brother4 rocks edit!!

It totally creeps me out to see POOK writing in full sentences like that. Not only that, but he is talking about an alter ego like its a relative!

Bugger I will miss the little monkey

I hardly know the strange little orger, but I feel moved and saddened by that departure note. Is it really that bad here? My heartfelt wishes go out to the Monkey and all those who knew him and will miss him.

I think
