It’s difficult to avoid being an iconoclast, hence it being my name on a few other discussion forums (Yes, I’m that The Iconoclast, if you’re spying on me). i don’t mean to suggest that I’m some sort of revolutionary; on the contrary, a lot of people find it "hip" to be an iconoclast, and certainly not new in any sense. However, without choosing consciously, it’s just what i tend towards. I was given the name for relentlessly assaulting Michael Moore’s ethics on Democratic Underground, a mighty den of Moore-ist sycophants that i no longer frequent and for some reason, they blocked my entry there hehe, though i think i made less than 50 posts before forgetting about the site.
That out of the way, i fear that i won’t be able to not be The Iconoclast on here or on any other sites anymore. i try to leave that identity elsewhere - really, what good would it do me here if everybody thinks I am utterly contemptful of all the happy blind paradise go-go-gadget good feelings that give them a reason to wake up in the morning? I already fear I’ve made bad moves somewhere, and possibly the feminist group, though i didn’t say anything offensive, merely, my response was really long and everyone else’s were one-liners, which made me go "whoops" a little. internet society is funny.
Speaking of Internet society, I haven’t been on that site long enough to know exactly what it is that is "acceptable" to say and "not acceptable" to say, and while I have never been banned from a website for my opinions because I am a rule-abiding user.
That is to say, i tend to be opinionated, and while I’ve never lashed out at people during a debate, it seems that debating itself may be frowned upon, and that’s just not something I’m sure i can abide by. I expect to become more comfortable once I know what the exact boundaries im into.
Mostly, I just wanted it to be made clear that I am not, by nature, someone who thinks they are "XTREEM" or an intentional rabble-rouser. It’s more that i just like to hear what people think, and sometimes the easiest way to do this is to just be straight-up and honest about it.
I also wanted to remind anybody reading of my previous post, if you are on my friends list. Mucho important.
