Okay, I'm back from town now, having picked up a carry-out order, and first responding in the great events on Skins's island during 2012 here in the DUmpster.
I'm responding to the sonofabitch primitive from Michigan; everybody else can feel free to ignore this comment and move on to the next one.
Hey, pal, the name's "franksolich," and I'd appreciate it if you used it.
"Frank" sounds too much like some grey-haired crew-cut carbuncled ex-Marine living in some ethnic neighborhood in Chicago; I assure you that's not even close.
My avatar's me, franksolich, so take a gander at it. That isn't some guy named "Frank," so cut it out.
(There's other times, usually when decent and civilized people are slumbering, and only lurking primitives around here, that there's another avatar featuring franksolich, but never mind.)
"franksolich," got it?
franksolich is no leader here, because decent and civilized people don't need someone to lead, someone to do their thinking for them. franksolich just happens to be a member of conservativecave, just as anybody else.
True, I'm a moderator here, but whoop-de-do. Decent and civilized people tend to be well-behaved, and one can fall asleep on the job as moderator here, as nothing untoward happens. It's not like Skins's island, where untitled "enforcers" of some type or another have to run around keeping the primitives' mind-thoughts all in unison, toeing the straight party line.
Of course franksolich's encounters with primitives from Skins's island are fictitious, and they're labeled thusly; they're based loosely upon real-life happenings with the primitives from Skins's island tossed into the mix for entertainment.
franksolich's encounters with primitives--alas, they're so rare--not from Skins's island on the other hand are correct and true in every detail. I wish I could write more about such encounters, but damn it, real primitives not from Skins's island are as rare as passenger pigeons around here.
Remember the distinction, if it's not too difficult; if there's primitives as being recognized from Skins's island in a story, they're a fictitious ingredient added to space up a story. If they're just primitives with no connections to Skins's island, what's recounted here actually took place.
Finally, while conservativecave has never made any pretensions about being a big message board, it appears our active membership is about half the active membership of Skins's island. That still isn't much, but we're not small potatoes. Better a little tiny prairie mouse that nibbles, than a big fat pig that merely walows.
And--although it seems superfluous to bother pointing it out--campfires on Skins's island, when brought here, tend to generate more "views" and "comments" than the original ones on your terrain.
Shove all that up your rectal aperture and smoke it.
