Solid poster, but he has flaked on meetups multiple times. I guess some guys don't like to merge the Internet with real life

People, as well as posters, tend to change from time to time...

Some interpretation if I may.

Archie was brand new to forums when he came here. With that comes a bit of excitement and a spirit of discovery. That was reflected in his posting.

But Archie is intelligent. After awhile intelligent people inevitably find that forums are not. Certainly there are little bits that are good and intelligent people can find niches for themselves if it is important enough to them, but in the big picture, forums are repetitive and stupid and pretty pathetic. They are full of lies and people dumb enough to believe them. You've got people begging for 63 cents. You've got people who can see the same joke every day for a hundred years and still think it's funny every time.

Over time, it starts to hammer you. It is disappointing. It wears down an intelligent person.

I am not meaning to put words in Archie's mouth but I remember him saying something about how the forum cycles were becoming repetitive for him. As someone who has been around forums for some years, I can relate.

No complaints from archie over here

ryanspeer2001 · 11-14-09, 05:11 PM

As much of a shot in the dark this may seem to some people I'd like to add the economy as a factor for his attitude change. His job(s) are very dependent public facets in education and if the schools are getting chopped down in subsidies so is Chi_Archie.

Beyond that I would say Mudcat is on point 100% and to add to his point don't forget that at one point Chi took a long break and came back, then the whole fallout with stiffing Tsoprano and the floor fell out again. So I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a much more part time roll from here on out.

i didnt know he stiffed tsop. am i reading that right?

Boner_18 · 11-14-09, 06:29 PM

People show their true identity as they become more comfortable with others. The first time you meet friends of friends you are on your "best behavior" and as time goes on you show them the true scumbag/dgen you are.

Chi is all good, there is just more than one wrinkle to his personality.

btraband · 11-14-09, 07:07 PM

he is a class dude from what i can tell, cut him some slack...
