Thanks xlogger, if it makes you (or anyone else) feel better, that is exactly the sentiment I felt was in your thread. In a sense, you are providing a service to me by calling attention to a choice I make that is well-considered and conscious, and actually a big part of the "person" I am in this "place".
Writing is like any other expression -- there is a collective body of work that exists before you, that you inherit when you become "alive" as an expressive being. In some cases, the "momentum" of what is already
accepted and expected is so great that it crushes something in the person who is only learning to express -- this is true, as I said in ALL forms of expression.
For the person who, for whatever reasons inside them, feels a compelling pressure towards uniqueness, the path will split in two directions -- you can say fuck-off to the weight of WHAT IS IN PLACE, simply by shoving it off your creative shoulders and dusting your hands of its residual oppressiveness.
The risk in that is that no one may trouble to learn whatever personal, necessarily esoteric, language you've preferred. You can wind up all alone and misunderstood.
On the other hand you can acknowledge the value of something that existed before you showed up, understand that a site with traffic has a value a new domain with no type-ins does not have, and you can find the way to be the things you want to be and express them in a way that feels like TRUTH to you -- THERE, and enjoy the benfits of a "society".
The strangeness you observe in my writing is such a compromise, such an adaptation -- and one that gives me great pleasure to indulge.
If I have failed to make myself clear enough to you, I would
want to know that -- but it does not even seem that is the case. It seems, rather, that yours is a voice (like a language in my example above) that persons here have come to associate with attributes which, frankly, I did not see present here tonight.
Thank you for having found me an interesting enough subject to start a thead about. There is a flattery in that I think my defendors are missing -- :winkwink:
