Everyone who said you would contribute something... didn't.
Ahem. Minus (2) contributors.
Did you ever get your piece finished in time?
I would add that you didn't remind anyone the date was upcoming or anything else, you just took a break and sent someone to relay that info to people. It's not all on 'us' (ie, the people who volunteered their material) that this didn't happen when it was supposed to.
And yeah, a 'hey it's three days until the deadline' or something does help man.
You can decide to insult people by calling them 'mundane keyboard warriors' and whatever but at the end of the day, people here were told you were taking a break and seeing as you weren't around, it looked like you were taking a break.
Not submitting an essay to a webzine doesn't make one a mundane or say anything about someone's desires.
You insulting people doesn't make them want to help you with the e-zine. And if I am submitting something I AM helping you out, I am helping you manifest your monthly manifesto thingy.
This attitude you've been displaying the past few weeks is why your project isn't getting off the ground.
I have no obligation to coddle your sensibilities and I won't. If my tone offends you, ask yourself why that is. It sounds to me like you have a thin skin covering all the issues you need to work out. Good luck with that.

If I am butthurt about anything at all, it is the ever growing volumes of forum threads pertaining to lhp this and satanism that, that change the world in exactly zero ways. But I am man enough to admit that is my fault for getting my hopes up. I should have known better. I thought CoD had potential. I stand corrected.I'm confused, is taking what would have been in forums and putting it into an ezine going to make change in the world anymore than it would in a forum post?
Darryl, the only way to change anything on the scale you are talking about is with automatic weapons, explosives, and a lot of die hard motherfuckers willing to get it done. Are you willing to affect those sorts of changes?
Until the answer is yes, this is all bluster. All we can change on this scale is ourselves. So what the fuck are you expecting here?

The current email address still stands, right?
The second deadline was 12/8/13, did you receive any other submissions?
Now that the release has been extended to January (as well as the on-going discussion) there's a chance you'll get more. The goal was 9 right?
2 - down
7 - to go

Nothing I said in what you quoted shows me needing my sensibilities coddled. I'm not the one running around telling everyone how much this site and the people involved sucks.
You might not like the term butthurt, but every other time I have seen it, it looks like what you have been doing man.
I didn't quit anything, I simply didn't get any submissions (sort of required) whereas I had at least ten people claiming to participate who were no-shows.
*yawn* I already explained WHY you have two submissions at this point. It's you, not everyone us. You share some of the blame for this not getting off the ground. Be an adult and admit it already.

I have no desire to change the World. My whole thing is changing myself via real world action.
As for you and Jack constantly saying that in some manner, this is my question: Why would I want to form ANY kind of collective with either of you? If I was going to do that I would choose people that I know would have my back and put in the work necessary to do whatever job needs to be done.
And that ain't a couple of guys who run around online screaming, 'Let's change the real world, everything I say and do is so Super Sinister, Hell my shit is Sinister, nexions, ONA forever!!!!' all the time.
But I am man enough to admit that is my fault for getting my hopes up. I should have known better.

Are you going to admit that your webzine isn't off the ground because of you? You're still playing the excusing your own accountability in this case. Especially with shit like this:
I thought CoD had potential. I stand corrected.
It's just a website. It has plenty of potential to be a decent... website.
I can't speak for Darryl, but I wouldn't have you. It seems a little presumptive to assume that anyone is speaking of forming a collective or to think that you might be included in such a formation if they were.
But none of that was the point and you know it. The same thing applies to anyone here (including me), why would someone want to group up with them?
Thanks for using the response I knew that would get btw. I like when people are predictable. ;)
Speaking of running around online screaming... nice blog. I'd also like to point out your many years spent on online forums. Some might say they were spent nutswinging. I'm glad to see you're getting away from that at least. ;)
LOL, do you think I care what your opinion or the opinion of others is? I never have and everything I have done when it comes to this online bullshit has paid off.
The blog is a hobby, much like posting on Circle is a hobby of yours.
Still, I applaud your efforts toward self-sufficiency, particularly as they involve the acquisition of skills you've spoken of before. It's not all forums and circlejerking in FS-land, eh?
Nope, never was.
