I love SG. But I'm totally not down with SG's little Church of Cool. It seems to me that in addition to people sharing stuff and making 'friends'. SG has a developed social structure that's very much like high school. Where a few of the cool kids lead and occasionally gang up on the dissenters and then back slap and revert back to this sycophant role, reaffirming group homogony, laying on the effusive words thick and deep.
FOR THE RECORD: I could care less what most people think of me. And I invest all my caring in the rest. I recently started some shit with and old schooler. So what. I wish people would be less meek. I'm bummed out by the hostility I see so I become part of it. Does that make any sense? I never want be a 'cool kid' on this site. I want to burn down the Church of Cool. If this bothers you and you don't wana look bad by association. I understand. You can drop me as a 'friend' no problem. I'm choosing my battles better, but still find it hard to be nice.
Rebuttal: I found most of the criticism I've gotten from this to be confused and forgettable, but there was one comment I did think was insightful. I received it via email so am not sure if she would like credit or not.
"This is one of the social disorders that people on here try to rebel against when they are actually forming their own elite."
Utopia is so hard to find these days. Thanks, it gave me something to think about. My problem isn't with popularity in it's self, but the use of the power that it brings. And the fake relationships that can develop.
PS. Am I the only one who noticed, that exactly what I was talking about happened in the comment to this journal entry? I guess I wasn't that off the mark.

lame lame. am i missing the part of the conversation where people ask what they may have done or what others are doing to make you feel this way?
i'm booting you as a "friend" just in case.
I think that you do have some pretty strong opinions and you fight pretty hard. I'm the same way, so I just stay out of the shit stirrer. People on here, as odd as it seems considering it's a porn site, tolerate little and will never give in. I notice someone is missing from your friend's list. When the shit hits the fan people go missing. Yeah, part of the problem.
