Just take down your election signs once the election is over I don't put up signs, and I always store away the ones I host for other candidates. My landlord put political signs in our yard. She doesn't even live here she just came over did it.

During the 2000 election my whole school (less than 60 in the whole school) voted for President. Al Gore or George W Bush. My friend and I were the only two to vote for Bush.

The character Major Thoroughfare is, for the most part, an Andy Kaufmanish performance artist who develops original, exaggerated observations and thoughts and posts them and then deletes his account when he's found out and creates a new one within a matter of days/hours. Please don't ever, ever compare Andy Kaufman and BarnxBee in the same sentence. Kaufman was a genius... Barneybee is one of those pseudo-intellectual types who should just stick to replying to topics (if he has so much insight) and flying under the radar, instead of making these stupid posts that (admittedly, and in no offense meant to this site) fly over the heads of so many people, or dig way too deep into the psyche for a Wrestling Figure Forum. And yet, my post about dying was ultimately decided to be kept locked. Jay was against it, the bad day was fine with it, and Young Money didn't lock it. Then again, Jay didn't lock it either, he told me, so I don't know who did. Post was perfectly fine minus a Barnxbee outrage/rant in there. Then we've got years spanning posts of his that go beyond the general message board's interest range (or even ability, with some of the crap he digs out)... I don't even care that my post about fearing death was locked, I just find it so hypocritical because he makes all of these deep posts with supposedly underlying deep contextual matter, and my post was small fries compared to death. Simple enough, do you fear death? It's something I've actually thought about as I get older. But if it's not for this age range, I understand. Neither are 90% of his posts, though. If he wants to keep deleting his account and making new ones a day later because he's addicted to this place, I'm not going to stop him. There are also ways he can block members (e.g. me) if he doesn't want to read their posts. He's rambled off on/at me about 3 times now, and the truth is, this new gig where he deletes himself, signs up again, acts like a martyr, does it again, signs up, takes some cheap shot at me for something I evidently said to him (if I call him Barnxbee and that offends him?...oh well, because that's his name I know him by...I always have...Barnxbee or 3lephant). He's offended by me simply pointing out that he's back under a new name. I subtly quote a Dylan lyric as he did when he announced he was "leaving" these boards and he either picked up on it or just felt like firing off at me about dopamine and how my body produces it (hahaha he has no idea), and then deleting his account again and claiming he'll never be back. He needs a thicker coat. I also predict he's posting again no later than tomorrow.

He needs a thicker coat. I also predict he's posting again no later than tomorrow. The first part of that quote comparing him to Kaufman is from Barnxbee himself. Also, remember this DM I sent you? I totally called it: It's tough to pin it down to just one grade. "Impact" kinda has a lot of ends to it. I guess if I were to pin it down to like...the grade I kinda figured out the way of the world, it would be 9th/freshman year. My city was kinda weird at the time...elementary school was K-6, middle school was 7-9, but once you were in 9th grade, you were earning high school credit and receiving report cards from the high school - you just hadn't switched buildings yet. In the middle of 4th grade, I moved close to 2,000 miles from where I'd started school, and it kinda tanked everything for me. Down south I had established friendships and pretty good grades, but that's kinda hard to recapture when you move to a completely different part of the country. Everything is different, right down to what kids are into, and it's a bitch to try and adjust to. I basically spent the latter half of 4th grade through 9th grade floundering in all aspects of life, when the schools finally landed on a learning disability, and agreed to craft an IEP for me. The plan was simple enough - my mother, my guidance counselor, and each of my core subject teachers would meet after school to establish a regimen and schedule that would distribute a shared accountability for my academics across the lot of us (the bulk of it still resting on my shoulders, which is fair). The day we'd scheduled the meeting came - I stayed after school, mom showed up, we met in the guidance counselor's office...and only one of my teachers showed up. The plan doesn't really work without the input of all the teachers, and so we set a new date, and the same thing happened - I stay back, mom drops in, sit down in the counselor's office....and the same teacher shows up. Well, hey - third time's the charm, right? I'd like to say so, but at 14, I kinda took it to assume that I'd just watched all but one of my teachers say, without a word, that they didn't really give a flip about my academics at that point, and so mom dropped in, headed to guidance, and sat down with my counselor and that same, solitary teacher, along with one other this time who, dead ass, was only there because he was a long term sub for my original teacher who'd wound up having a heart attack in the interim, and my ass was already halfway home on foot. I guess, in spite of all my lack of effort up to that point, I kinda gave up that day. I basically spent the rest of high school scraping by...I fell into a good group of friends and wound up dating a pretty sweet girl, all of whom kinda helped keep me along the track, if not necessarily on it. I graduated on time (barely), pretty close to the bottom of my class (of 800+), with a next-to-nothing GPA to show for it. I spent the next ten years kinda bouncing between different collegiate endeavors and employment pursuits before finally settling on a career I felt like I could do. I think people look at that ten year expanse between graduating high school and getting a degree and kind of assume the worst, but I still chalk it up to time well spent. I met a girl, got married, bought a house, and learned a wealth of skills on the job along the way. Honestly, that ten years probably has more value in my life than the 13 I spent in mandated public school. TL;DR - school is important, but it's not the be all, end all. Good thread, Barnxbee, whichever name you're lurking under now. Thanks. I’ve come to the realization that the posts of every account I make will ultimately reveal the bARNXBEE! behind the machine, and the occurrences years ago under all the millions of names I had will live on (I could be the Grand Rabbi of Crossdressing at least, so that’s a plus). I can either get my panties in a bunch (see what I did there?) and delete and leave 55 times, or grow some thick skin and Majorly live on the Thoroughfare of (WF) life. But anyway, I did the 10-year college thing too. Anyone who criticizes that is miserable. People work, switch majors, do whatever. I couldn’t imagine finishing school in the four years that are considered “normal.” I had a life to live, and women’s jeans to buy.

He needs a thicker coat. I also predict he's posting again no later than tomorrow. That’s a fair grievance. Personally as far as a lot of my content goes, I’ve always found that a lot of members have “been able to keep up.” Take a look at this one: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/342858/hiv-aids-politics-suffering-humanityYou had a good, thought-provoking response. Lots of folks did. DFV’s reply to my school post was also interesting. I am addicted to this place. I’ve tried Reddit, the responses still aren’t as interesting, maybe because they get buried by so many other things. I struggled for years with substance abuse and have attended therapy for five years, am medicated, have two Bipolar diagnoses at two separate clinics, as well as a PTSD diagnosis and “Pure O” OCD diagnosis, OCD without the observable rituals. I was sexually assaulted at 21 (without physical resistance) while experimenting with my sexuality, but wasn’t told it was assault until a therapist brought up the word four years later. My OCD, from there, went nuts about being categorized as a “male sexual assault victim,” and I had to attend more therapy to figure out how to deal with that. I didn’t know you could be sexually assaulted without physical resistance. Obviously, that’s something people debate even today. I’m not looking for sympathy and I’m not sure what out of my hiccups are responsible for my addiction to wrestling action-figure message boards (and getting offended and deleting and re-creating 75 accounts), or if I just am without cause, but if my posts come off as “holier than thou,” it’s not my intention. This place is a release for me, maybe because of the anonymity it gives that social media doesn’t. I’m not smarter than anyone anywhere, not more moral, I have a million shortcomings and imperfections (not the assault obviously, the main teaching of therapy as far as that goes is accepting that what happened was not a negative against your character; and as far as everything else, no mental illness(es) is/are the sufferer’s fault, though it is his/her responsibility to keep it/them from causing him/her to hurt others). Aside from all of that, on no other message board have I received the content discussion quality that I’ve received here. But you’re right, thick skin is really the ultimate name of the game. I definitely agree with that. At the end of the day, text is text, and sometimes my anxiety exaggerates those sorts of things. It really is just a message board.

Also legitimate question, who was 3lephant? I do remember that name, but bARNXBEE!/MT wasn’t him. Was he another religious guy?
