Man, this sucks. I just got here and people are already leaving because they can't have intercourse with each other. Lame. |

I'll try just once. If you really care, you may wish to pay attention to what I post. If not, go about your way. There are several posters here who have been denied admission to the Crypt for various reasons. And in your vote, there was no poll taken why you were rejected, but it wasn't unanimously. You have a board persona that contributes a certain something. Yet you appear insincere. You have some obvious intelligence, but there incongruence. If you left the Church due to Krakauer's book being your defining moment, that's very odd. In the Crypt, for the most part, most of us post respectfully, even if it is in disagreement. We have LDS and nonLDS members there. However, for the most part, there is sincerity, not just persona. You have persona, to be certain, but your agenda, of undermining testimony, gay-baiting and gadflying is important for LDS and nonLDS to consider, when it's just persona, it sometimes rings hollow. In the Crypt, we are shallow, not hollow.

If its any consolation I am not in the crypt. Of course I don't contribute nearly as much or as well as everyone else who I am guessing is in the crypt. In fact, sometimes I wonder how do people post so fast about subjects while I always have trouble formulating posts. Robin I think you should stay even if you aren't "in the crypt" (that could be my new cool phrase "in the know"). Dissenting opinions are good to hear even if they are baiting or gadflying.

I enjoy CG and CB, but I have to say the only thing I find troubling about this whole episode is that you are talking about the whole experience like you were banished from your house when in fact you were only prevented from particiapting in a small portion of a website whose only purpose is to host messages between a semi-anonymous group of sports fans. You are taking this WAAAAAAY too seriously, in my opinion. The crypt is not that big of deal; It is a very nice retreat, and it is good to have a limited audience, but for cryin' out loud (as my grandpa used to say) get over it! It hurts? You are telling me that this HURTS? You have got to be kidding me. This whole thing is a lark, a whim, a momentary escape from the drone of life where we can throw around ideas and sometimes be bolder or softer or more daring than we might otherwise be in person. If you are serious that you are hurt by this expereince, then I agree that you should be concerned about your relationship with the internet.

...
why not ask why you werent admitted instead of crying foul and going home?
your exclusion from the crypt has absolutely zero to do with your 'liberal' leanings, non-participation in the 'church', or your posts about homosexuality.... most here really appreciate your point of view and it adds to the site in a positive way.... |
