Why do you think?

so if lurkers are the ones with no accounts and therefor need to sign up and start the process to become a regular just to post, where does that leave us? shal we designate some one to speak for the Lurky?

No king, no government ever extended to the people more rights than the people insisted upon. And I think we've come to a place with this psychedelic issue. We have the gay community as a model, and all the other communities. We simply have to say, Look: LSD has been around for fifty years now, It ain't going away. WE are not going away. We are not slack-jawed, dazed, glazed, unemployable psychotic creeps. We are pillars of society. You can't do anything in culture without psychedelic people in key positions. And this is the great unspoken of American Creativity. So I think it's basically time to just come out of the closet and go, "You know what, I'm stoned, and I'm proud."

i too, would rather be lurky than good...

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7007043

now, a trippy, i feel, is less likely to be a lurky than a Pharmer.

lurky's are like teeny's... they'll always be the unwanted cousins of the shroomery family, until they join in legally and start to bash.... the lurky's and the teeny's like us. :awesomenod: awesome.

Then why do they even what to read them? I'm guessing a lot of it is insecurity. When I was first posting on the internet I got scared right off of a forum by one really mean prick moderator redneck fucking asshole. I'd love to run into him now.:lol:

OP, you should consider confronting your negative emotions and dealing with them in a nondestructive way. Maybe you're projecting some repressed inner turmoil onto internet strangers.

You seem to be the stressed out one. He's just doing his thang. You really need to calm down.

it just occurred to me, i ran across a post in another forum ( i just googled and couldn't turn it back up) where a guy had gone thru and lurked through several forums and had strung together several horrid stories of bad trips including self defecation and hell experiences and was using them to show how bad mushrooms are.

so lurkers do fucking suck.

i bet there's an agent a day just assigned to watch.

but i don't have much respect for our government. so i really could give to shits less if this dude is wasting his life just watching others  drama and shit... or if some preacher is watching to prove to his congregation how bad sinners are, or WHAT EVER.

i'm not gonna post grow logs cause i don't grow it's illegal.
and i can say whatever i want, we still, at least, have that right... for now.

Am I still considered a "regular?"

The majority of what I do around here is lurk. I find it interesting to observe other peoples opinions and feelings about different topics, I don't feel that I MUST present my own opinion all the time.

I like to observe the interactions themselves, and the shroomery is not the only online forum site I peruse.

Anyway, I am not sure your question was answered...why do you "hate" lurkers OC?

Idea stealers, reading others opinions instead of forming their own, then repeating them.  Personal experience.  Maybe we all do this to some degree, but someone who never contributes EVER might be very guilty.

i never have lurked with the sole intention of copying anothers idea.

i lurk IF i decide to get grow tips. (which i would never do. illegal) but IF i decide to get grow tips, i lurk so there's no connection with me. just randomly browsing.

Novelty Theory IS
No king, no government ever extended to the people more rights than the people insisted upon. And I think we've come to a place with this psychedelic issue. We have the gay community as a model, and all the other communities. We simply have to say, Look: LSD has been around for fifty years now, It ain't going away. WE are not going away. We are not slack-jawed, dazed, glazed, unemployable psychotic creeps. We are pillars of society. You can't do anything in culture without psychedelic people in key positions. And this is the great unspoken of American Creativity. So I think it's basically time to just come out of the closet and go, "You know what, I'm stoned, and I'm proud."

Sneaky, really sneaky.

I'm too old to take drugs anymore. I just philosophize about them.:sad:

No, people are weak. Some people. The strong should not be made to pay for the weak.

OK:D Then lets take it a step further. "Bad" is subjective. For instance some great people have possibly only reached that level because they have hit bottom with abuse.  Ya never know how things are going to work out in this crazy life.

But what this had to do with lurkers I have no idea.:lol:

if some good comes from bad, then the good would be dependent on time and place... circumstance.

so too, some lurkers may not be all bad, and may indeed, one day, be members.

hah! i made myself laugh.

that took pot. i love my herb.

sometimes i lurk because i get this paranoia going on, that everyone is talking about me. (it happens in IRL mainly, but sometimes here too) - it'll shoot off in one of two directions: either i keep lurkin' and listenin' cause i want to know what everyone is saying, or i go into :awebig: mode and dance or fidget or ride the wave of consciousness on a tangent.


i also don't know enough about some of the topics to give adequate answers/discuss. i guess i could ask questions if they hit me.

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.
