You know, I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable every time I come to this bored. I'd like to say I'm surprised by some of the posts left in this thread, but I'm not at all. There seems to be a culture of nastiness developing here at TrekBBS and it sickens and saddens me. It's not just the comments directed towards me and my loved ones, I'm an adult and I can handle them (though I'd ask that you leave the kids out of it, thank you very much.) It's all the nasty remarks made to GoodWillRiker, one of the nicest, most polite well spoken gentlemen on this board. It's that thread ThankQ started where he confessed to masturbating over some of the girls who post here. What's most disturbing is that the moderators (with a few notable exceptions like Spiff and Bones) seem to be not only joining in with the nastiness but actually encouraging it. I noticed that even ex-moderator Killer Komet has noticed that nastiness and commented on it. Disturbing trends. What would Gene Roddenberry think?
Speaking of bullying, some kids were picking on Chuck (not his name, but I'm tired of saying "the boy") yesterday and I chased them off. I told him he shouldn't be ashamed of who and what he is and he should be himself and if he does that he can get through anything in life. I hope these words stick with him for a long time.
Things are going well with my girlfriend again. My cousin hasn't stuck her big nose in again. She did send a card inviting my girlfriend to go to an art exhibtion put on by her lesbian lover, but I burned it before my girlfriend got home.
I love those long winter nights, cuddled up in front of the fire with my wife and the kids. Does life get any better? I only wish that we never had to get old and we could stay like this for ten thousands of years.
