Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Are you talking to someone, fren?
From time to time this person just posts lyrics. This started happening after the interaction with the troll, the person who was here threatening a lot of users.
Since then, he rarely has conversations with people, he only posts lyrics. I don’t know why, and I don’t understand what’s going on with him, but all we can do is pray. Perhaps he feels threatened to actually have a conversation, since the troll did threaten his family and many others here.
Anyway… I’m sure you’re picking up on what I’ve been picking up on. Hopefully he’ll come out of the shadows and start interacting again. Praying for our friend.
Actually, I started posting stuff like this in the general chat--song lyrics, excerpts from books, and it's what attracted the troll. "That was the gayest shit I've ever read," he said. I replied, "Dude, that's from Catcher in the Rye. Don't be a goofball." And instead of admitting that he's an ignorant doorknob, it went on from there.
If you look at my posts, you'll see that I still post on here, but it slowed down a lot because I was enjoying the crap out of a couple of weeks of summer vacation and I mostly am on this forum during the slow moments at work. When I'm at home I'm doing family time, hobbies, watching X22 Report, Redpill78, Jimmy Dore, and hobby-related videos rather than reading and typing. Things have actually been going well with me and I've experienced a lot of God's grace in my life and I've been enjoying hobbies a lot more for the past couple of months.
I’m gonna be taking a break from here myself, you caught me right before leaving.
I’m so happy for you! You have a wonderful life - and I’m happy to hear that you are enjoying it! Japan is such a beautiful place. I am envious.
I pray that you continue your walk in faith with the Lord and your family, and you find your life full of God’s love and peace!
Take Care!
I can't seem to face up to the facts. I'm tense and nervous, and I can't relax. I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire. Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire.
Springsteen...,eh?
