There's already a thread for posting videos in memorial to 9/11 in the News and Current events forum:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt137372.htmlThanks, I didn't know about that thread since I don't normally go to that subforum. (I got tired of the abuse from jrknothead.)
I haven't actually seen a post by jrknothead in quite a while.
He's not posting insults at people who don't take the categorization scheme of Subforum seriously, such as when I posted a joke thread and he went ballistic? Or when I posted an actual news item about the cancellation of research about the Orion project space vehicle that he said something to the effect of "it's about time you posted some real news you moron" or somesuch tiresome rudeness. Hmm, perhaps I could go back there if I were more interested in current headlines, though I think it's actually easier and possibly less heated to look at items in retrospect. Although some things, depending upon their severity (such as 9/11, the Holocaust, the Pogroms, the Inquisition, the Crusades, the attempts of the Roman Empire to stamp out Christianity, the attempts of the Seleucids to stamp out Judaism, etc) and such of the sort tend to have people who consider them with passion no matter how long it has been, for better or for worse. Such as, I can't forget the two years in which my dad struggled with lung cancer before he died of it, and I remember this for the better in terms of not permitting myself to smoke and possibly robbing any children that my wife and I may have of their father or my wife of me. Remembering 9/11, and remembering the Holocaust, and remembering all the mistakes, and wrongful and tragic actions of the past can be beneficial if used for recognizing the mistakes of the past and preventatively not permitting the same mistakes to occur again. As such, since I am often in a manic mood, it would not be beneficial for me to post so much in the News subforum since it may draw out people of similar mindset to the one who was previously abusive in a verbal manner. Here on PPR, I know it is imminent to be verbally abused at nearly all times, so I am more able to adjust to it since I expect it to be an invariable constant. In other subforums I don't seem to be able to adjust to it as readily.
