Do I contribute anything? What's the use of sticking around?

Tell you the truth, Lucidor, I sometimes get that "outside looking in" feeling too, and I'm way more active than you are. But the forum can be entertaining and it's not like I have anything better to do.  :blush:

FU, Teach.  Everyone likes you fine.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

It is pretty mesmerizing.
it was interesting at first, and when he's not wrong it still a good thread, but when he gets caught the  whole thread turns into a behemoth about how a  ship isn't a ship or the semantics of the world allegation.

Lucidor is a good guy.  I enjoy reading his posts, as infrequently as they are.

As for why I come to Languish, it's basically a place where I can, by internet standards, expect to find intelligent discussion on a variety of different topics.  And seeing all the familiar personalities her is kind of reassuring in a world of constant change.

Well said.  I feel exactly the same way.

:yes:

It's not easy to find a forum where the posters are intelligent and knowledgeable, and that's small enough and tight enough that you don't get lost in the sea of posters.  Another unique thing is the multitude of nationalities represented.
