To me, this cyberspace stuff doesn't even really exist.

It seems like just a hi-tech vehicle for porno and garbage.

Yet some take it extremely seriously.

Do you take pen and paper seriously? A phone seriously? TV seriously? You mouth and ears seriously? It's a just a vehicle. What get's communicated on it can be either worth taking seriously or not.

I certainly don't take you seriously...

I think your obsessive little blog thing indicates the contrary.

Oh, good burn. And dammit, who is that girl in your avatar?

Anyway, I have always taken tubes seriously. Who doesn't?

God damn, Otis is rivaling if not surpasing Cubanlord in terms of starting new threads.

But please Otis you're seriously killing this board. It's okay to start a few interesting/humerous threads, but you're going overboard dude.

I really can't understand why Otis hasn't been banned yet. He adds absolutely nothing to any thread he posts in, and is obviously bent on trolling with a seething passion. Can't they just ban his stupid ass? Or do mods get a kick out of seeing people reply earnestly to his fabricated opinions?

It's not a bad question.

I take it as seriously as I take TV/movies, music or books or other things to entertain myself. Lots of garbage, lots of good stuff exists in all these.

Doesn't it have to be taken seriously? It has (perhaps) changed the world in a way not seen since TV hit the scene.

Think of all the information now available in a miunte. Do many people buy sets of encyclopedias anymore? Is a dictionary needed if you have this wonderful tool in front of you?

One of my best friends went a little mad one summer when we were 19 years old and stayed in all summer and just read "The History of the World" series from cover to cover. I doubt that sort of thing happens much any more....

He has been banned. Permanently, but under a different pseudonym.
