In recent months we have heard from those who are upset about the lack of stiry reviews, those who flame others, those who break the rules, those who can or cannot support the board financially. Well, I can understand all those points of view, can relate to most of them. But what is this place, anyway? What the hell has happened to us?
Two days ago I posted in this forum an article wishing Riverwind well in his upcoming castration, which incidentally happens tomorrow. I didn't express joy that he would become a eunuch, nor did I say anything about his decision, whether it was right or wrong. I only wished him well. To my total astonishment, there were only two replies, aside from Riverwind's thanks. So I have to assume from the information available to me that there are only two people on this board who give a shit how well, or NOT well, a new eunuch fares.
I'm not sure this is relevant, but Riverwind and I go back a long time. We met years ago on alt.eunuchs.questions before either of us was castrasted, so I know that his decision has been long and hard. And now here he is, on the eve of his castration, and ONLY THREE PEOPLE ON THIS FUCKING BOARD CARE ENOUGH TO EVEN ACKNLOWLEGE IT?
As any true eunuch will attest, I don't care who you are or what your motivation, taking that final step to have your balls cut off is a traumatic thing! I know, guys, I've been there. I wanted it more than anything in my life, but when I was lying on that table, naked, and saw the scalpel descending, it took a lot of strength to force myself to go through with it. This is a time when we need support, people!
DAmmit, guys, this is the EUNUCH ARCHIVE! I left alt.eunuchs.questions over a year ago because it had become kinky, abusive, not at all what I am about, nor what I wanted to see or hear. But before my castration I was innundated with posts, emails, all wishing me well, offering advice, even telling me I was out of my mind! But at least I went to Philadelphia knowing that people cared enough to touch their fingers to the keys and express their opinions.
Perhaps this is not the paradise I've thought it to be for the last year....
Sorry for the rant... I promise I won't do it again. On the other hand, maybe no one will read this anyway.
