See topic and title. No fancy probing questions, just take it at face value and answer. I'm curious.

Because I hate it with a ritual vengence.

Um...  or I founded it and generally enjoy being here and wish I had more energy to make things happen.

Yeah. Birds of a feather flock together. Also, as Brian said, I consider you guys my friends, and enjoy the company of the people on the board and in the channel.

That conversation we had at the Gathering was quite cool. It's not often that I get to talk about fanfics like that.

It's something that doesn't get breached too often in normal conversation, I find.  The expectation of shared custom usually isn't there.  Having a predefined shared culture is nice.

The People here are nice, and makes you feel welcome. Lurking here somehow increases one's intelligence (or leasts lulls you into thinking so).

He doesn't post very much, so he has a skewered vision of us. I bet we could have him running and screaming for his life right towards a nice soft padded room if he spent a week with us in IRC!

Unless you count his roommate as his pet dog. Liddo has referred to him as a son of a bitch before.

I may not post a lot, but read...all of the time. Especially this forum's messages.

Perhaps THAT's what sculpted my perceptions. A few people this side of the net spout deranged idioms, and I subconsciously accept them as universal truths...

What a fearsome technique...

Tsk Tsk Kwok.

Haven't you realised it yet?

All of us are already insane. The lot of us have yet to realise it just yet. ;p

Now everyone return to your delusions. Fantasy is far superior to reality afterall. ^^

It's because we're happening people.  And we have people who come up with glorious turns of phrase like:  'In my least generous interpretation, the stinking imbecility permeating from your words is enough to make blood vomit from my eye sockets.'

What's not to love?

And pet cat, fine, pet cat.  AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO.

I'm of the opinion that you're all just figments of my imagination taunting me every now and then to keep my ego down, with me being so fantastic and all ^_^

Obviously only figments of my imagination would say something like that without worrying about getting smacked down by me, therefore I have concluded that you're all simply figments of my imagination and don't actually exist ^_^

Think of it this way, Kwok.  If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear it, does anyone care?
Title: Why do you stay around on Soulriders?
Post by: KIJIN on September 23, 2006, 10:34:00 AM
A while ago, I once thought that Kwok was One and the Same with Cute Kitsune Kaydee/Fox/someone-or-the-other, what w/ his perpetual forays into the realms of dementia.

Even now I'm still not sure. The recent events have only deepened my puzzlement.
Title: Why do you stay around on Soulriders?
Post by: Kwokinator on September 23, 2006, 10:34:42 AM
Of course someone cares.  Environmentalists like Green Peace, the Earthworm Jims who populate the soil that got rudely and violently disturbed by the large falling tree, little kids who just found out their favorite treehouse is gone, etc. ^_^

If you haven't learned to tune the inner rantings and pervertedness of Kwok out by now, you probably never will.

A scary thought to be sure. ^_^

Kwok is unique but he's definitely not one of those aforementioned people. Of that I am certain... I think. Maybe?

Seriously he's definitely not. ^^

KIJIN: Cute Kitsune Kaydee is a blight on the face of the planet, and widely considered ample reason to nuke Louisiana into radioactive glass.

Kwok, on the other hand, is just a dork.

KWOK: Exactly.

I should be offended by that, but I won't and will simply simmer silently while increasing your puzzlement as to my true identity ^_^
