I think there are different ratios of goodness and badness in all of us, and without having to go through a laborious philosophical discussion on definitions of good and bad, I think it would be fair to say that many people recognise the difference between the person and the deed. For example...

Everyone has their own concept of what goodness and badness is, and we all like to think of ourselves as essentially being good people, but behaviours usually speak for themselves. I have always firmly believed that most people's so-called bad, immoral, and/or illegal behaviour has usually...

I've been on sites where there has been virtually no moderation and thus total freedom of speech, but the problem has been that many people have abused that freedom and used it to bully, abuse, and harass other posters. At the opposite end of the spectrum where FOS is virtually non-existent...

Oh man, I could write a book incorporating what you have written in your post, as those experiences are so similar to my own. I'm not going to give examples or go into detail, as I'd be here all day. Suffice to say, I created a thread on a site about 3 years ago, the title of which went...

This is about freedom of speech, and the phenomenon of heavy handed site moderation which imposes great restrictions on our natural inclination to express ourselves openly and freely, and without hindrance. So far on this site I have had no problems at all as regards freedom of expression, and...

Note to self: Stop typing out notes to self.

NTS: Stop posting on internet forums. It's not worth it, and even real life can be more interesting.

I just made a huge banner saying "I POST ON THE LONELY LIFE FORUMS" and am going to hang it outside my house this morning.

Don't worry, you've found them. *raises hand*

Regrettably, that's the sad truth. People can be (very) mean, and instead of offering you a smidging of sympathy and support, many will gleefully view it as an opportunity to stick the boot in.

You are not alone. Both my parents are dead, I'm an only child, I'm also a chronic loner and social recluse without any friends, and what little family I have left are in England and I never see any of them. In fact I don't think they want to know me. I am really alone in this life, and at...

I used to be a bit wild when I was a teenager, and what family I have left in England still don't want to know me, as I think they are incapable of grasping the concept that people change and calm down a bit as they get older. I think they shut me out and keep me at a distance as a protective...

Dude, you might as well have not posted.

I was on a site for just over 2 years, and it was great to being with; very lively, very active, always plenty of people posting and lots of interaction, then slowly it went into a state of irreversible decline, and now it's practically lifeless. For the past year I have tried numerous forums...

No, that was good. After some of the rubbish I've forced myself to wade through on other sites, it's very refreshing to read material that's not about iPhones, IPads, cars, and all of that materialist rubbish. I was on a site for just over two years and it was a pretty lively cyber-environment...

When I began suffering from depression about 16 years ago, I was in consultation with both a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Psychotherapy did me very little good, as I found that talking about negative stuff that went on in my past just made me feel more depressed. I no longer suffer from...

If you are a male who claims that he is not attracted to men, but are attracted to "femininity", and don't care if the feminine person is in possession of a cock or a vagina, that makes you a bisexual, whether you like or agree with that term or not.

Good, positive, stuff. I haven't been here long enough to be able to make any evaluations, but if this place really does help people who are experiencing long term loneliness to cope with it and perhaps overcome it, then it's only a force for good. Of course you'll always get trolls and...

I'm ******* fed up being lonely and isolated.

I think I'm probably more sensitive than most people, and that this has been a major contributing factor in the birth and progression of my lonerism and loneliness.
