Nice summary, you ever thought about a career as a news reader?

Yep, then there's the 'behind the scenes' crap.

I don't even want to try touching that ball of wax.

That was impressive, wasn't it?

You hiring?

EXACTLY! :thumbsup


Lens....You know how to reach me if you want to discuss anything.

I've got nothing else to publicly say on this topic.

News reader?
:helpme

Lensman, I think if I understand correctly he felt that the Mods were treating him differently, less favorably by allowing pimpdogg to get away with making death threats and more, while others have been getting banned for the same reason. He did take it too far no doubt.

Popcorn! Get your fresh hot popcorn... :pimp

Will this thread reach 9 pages by noon? Bets are on.

But seriously, I hate hearing and seeing relationships go bad.

I've had my share lately, I know the feeling.

It's one thing to burn your bridges behind you.
It's another to burn them while you are still standing on them.

Sigh. That's it?

cock knocker, I'm too slow

Damn...I will miss Amp's endless e-penis contest posts with their hilariously subtle names, such as "What is your FICO score?" or "Who here lives in a $2M house?"...

What a loss.

Back to business, enough drama from people who are simply bored, and think GFY is their own reality soap opera. Someone fire up the 2257 thread-spammer v2.0 and get posting.

lol damn 50 bandits

Missed 50.

:disgust

Lensman, All I can say is sorry that happened to you. I've been victim to this type of treason before myself within our organisation. I can tell you that Karma is a bitch and he'll get what's coming to him in the end. WE all know you're good people here, and keep your finger on that Ban-Trigger. Don't let losers like that get to you.. :thumbsup

sig spot :( I got nothing wise to say about him.

Wow......

self delete...

I know several people who fit this. :disgust

That sounds like everyone I've ever met who was born post 1980ish.

I'm handicapping this thread as a 7 pager.. who wants to do over/under?

Checkin in early?

AMP wasn't alone in this, you fucking vultures should be ashamed of yourself. You're just as much the problem. God damn lemmings.

That's a good one!

Damn, now I'm going to go cry. You bad man. :(

Let me grab a beer!

add to that sociopath


behavioral characteristics of a sociopath?

an outstanding ability to charm and seduce followers. Since they appear apparently normal, they are not easily recognizable as deviant or disturbed. Although only a trained professional can make a diagnosis, it is important to be able to recognize the personality type in order to avoid further abuse. These traits also apply to a one-on-one cultic relationship.

Glibness/Superficial Charm
Language can be used without effort by them to confuse and convince their audience. Captivating storytellers that exude self-confidence, they can spin a web that intrigues others. Since they are persuasive, they have the capacity to destroy their critics verbally or emotionally.

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the "spokesman for God," "enlightened," "leader of humankind," etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentality

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love
While they talk about "God's love" they are unable to give or receive it. Since they do not believe in the genuineness of their followers' love, they are very harsh in testing it from their devotees and expect them to feel guilt for their failings. Expects unconditional surrender.

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge, yet testing the beliefs of their followers with bizarre rules, punishments and behaviors. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Their skills are used to exploit, abuse and exert power. Since the follower cannot believe their leader would callously hurt them, they rationalize the behavior as necessary for their (or the group's) own "good" and deny the abuse. When devotees become aware of the exploitation it feels like a "spiritual rape" to them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. The followers only see them as near perfect.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blame their followers or others outside their group. Blame reinforces passivity and obedience and produces guilt, shame, terror and conformity in the followers.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Totalist leaders frequently practice promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. This is usually kept hidden from all but the inner circle. Stringent sexual control of their followers, such as forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from parents, rules for dating, etc.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future. Many groups claim as their goal world-domination or other utopian promises. Great contrast between the leader's opulent lifestyle and the followers' impoverishment. Support by gifts and donations from the followers who are pressured to give through fear and guilt. Highly sensitive to their own pain and health.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image and that of the group as needed to avoid prosecution and to increase income and to recruit a range of members. Is able to adapt or relocate as needed to preserve the group. Can resurface later with a new name, a new front group and a new twist on the scam.
