Only one person has posted here about himself. thanks belligerentyouth! I was hoping to learn NICE things about y'all
ModGod, I have to confess that the type of openness you displayed in your initial post in this thread is a kind of vulnerability which I'm not really keen to participate in on this type of open forum. It's nothing personal against anyone here that I know, I guess it's more about who I don't know. I have boundaries. There are people who I will allow to get to know me better, and it's generally when I trust them and know something about them. Call it a foible, or a paranoia or whatever, but I'm just not prepared to "put it all out there". 
I appreciate your attempts to distract from the nastiness of recent times, and I admire your openness.  I wish the world was a more trustworthy place.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste - my fave flavour is fennel
Fennel toothpaste? Er yucky! (No offence intended, I feel like I have to say.) I use whichever brand of toothpaste is cheapest, but it's almost always mint flavoured.

MG, maybe there are good reasons no one is posting their personal histories in response to your invitation. You have already had one person give you hers.
My reason is that I disapprove strongly of this effort on your part. I come to this site because I'm interested in words and language. If I had any interest in hearing other people's personal data and histories, I would go to some other site, and there are plenty. You are only cluttering up the board and wasting our time with this. Several people, including CapK , have tried, very gently and politely, to point this out to you, but you keep insisting on your right to post whatever you please anywhere you please on the board. And you get more and more shrill and hysterical and abusive all the time.
May I suggest that you take the time to review your own posts and look at them dispassionately and in an amicable frame of mind? Maybe you may learn what you sound like. Contrast your recent postings against those of our (yes, long-time) experienced members like Max, Jackie, ofTroy, and other more recent members who are not interested in carrying on personal vendettas, but of going about what AWAD is really about in a friendly and collegial spirit. You might also ask yourself why you bother with AWAD. Do you want to be part of a friendly and collegial group who are interested in words and language, or do you have another agenda?
I post this publicly, rather than sending it in a PM, because you have already informed us that you don't regard PMs as private and are quite ready to post them, so I save you the trouble.

I can't believe this place.
Then leave this place. I'm sorry, someone had to say it.

I also think you should EFF OFF OUT OF THIS THREAD if you think it's such a waste of time. Just because you're not interested, doesn't mean other people aren't. (edits mine - on purpose - with intent etc.)
I'm not interested in this kind of dialogue/diatribe (hmmm ... must figure out which is more appropriate word usage). ModGod, I see (some of) your points, but please... can we stop this? Scream in a pillow, hit a punching bag or whatever, but please don't inflict this on those of us you do *like who may not appreciate this language.

In reply to:
... you stupid fuck. ... I am TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE EACH OTHER HERE.
You go about it in a strange fashion. I guess I have to echo Angel's question. Take Keiva with you. You and he could start your own site and cuss and conspire and get your paranoid rants off to your hearts' content.

Now wait a minute boby....Keiva never used this kind of language on the board. It was, however, used against him.
