I remember once writing a post about elastic boundaries in QBN, at the time I was thinking more of the technical boundaries and loopholes that QBN provided for those familiar with it. I built smaller groups around it, I also built groups outside of QBN but always linked to QBN. Now I think we need that elasticity in our discussion.
I do believe we should each stand up for what we believe in but it's a shame that we have given up nuance and camaraderie in the way. We are a relatively small community, I have always seen QBN as a community. Whenever I see either one of your user names I always have a personality associated with it and read your responses in my version of your voice. I guess I'm just suggesting we bring back the human in our small virtual community.
- ..says the guy with yet another pseudonym, undermining any attempt to attach a 'personality' to it?Nairn
- LOL, this is good! troll on...renderedred
- Nairn,
I first changed names in an attempt for messages to be read without prejudice. This is about messages being read in their own voice. I see no discrepancypalimpsest - Maybe I haven't been here long enough to merit a voice. It's too late to change my name.palimpsest
- And your former name was ... ?Continuity
- soundofreason.
A sound without a voice.palimpsest - Aha. Gotcha.
And other nicks?Continuity - Where you also Robo?utopian
- bobo?monospaced
- Yes.palimpsest
- Ah, I figured it was you, you twat xNairn
- Twat, indeed.
:Dpalimpsest - Nothing gets past you city slickers.palimpsest
- Are you making the attempt of striking a more conciliatory tone? Engaging in a civilized discourse moving forward would be exceptable by most QBNr's.utopian
- ^ This, without irony or sarcasm.Continuity
- Whom do you believe, your eyes or my words?palimpsest
- My eyes of course

- For using Bing Crosby lyrics in a post? I thought we got cleared.
I think I have shown my goodwill. Your move.palimpsest - Your message is always the same Bobo.PhanLo
- Noted.palimpsest
- haha missed this, love it. If true.fadein11
- if it is robo I never had a problem with you compared to others here. but I am guessing this is another joke smh.fadein11
- Y'all obsessed with robo. It's all relevant to my post though.palimpsest
- Robo hasn't posted in months yet his voice still haunts the halls of QBN.
Hats off!palimpsest - if someone were to troll like robo did and then come back in earnest, I'd just say prove yourself in action rather than asking, "be a grown up", I guess?ben_
- Exactly!palimpsest
- But you'd understand why people would be suspicious of what kind of person they actually are for... maybe a really long time?ben_
- This post had nothing to do with robo but if it can help move the dialogue forward I'm willing to take the heat.palimpsest
- you are robomonospaced
- Yes.palimpsest
- and you're referring to a post you made as robo?monospaced
- I just said this has nothing to with robo. This has to do with the reaction I see to comments and post that use sarcasm.palimpsest
- Back in the day when someone said something stupid we would engage in race to see who could top it off while laughing along the way. Re: camaraderiepalimpsest
- Back in the way we all knew Bing Crosby and Christmas songs weren't a tool of white supremacy. So that was something we could play with.palimpsest
- Back in the day a conspiracy theory was something to be laughed at. Probably ending with the common conclusion that Australia wasn't real.palimpsest
- Monospaced,
I think you should take the time to reread our exchanges. I hope you realize how civil I've been all along. It's not for me, it's for you.palimpsest - animals always shit in the place they live.face_melter
