"THE NATURAL SELECTION OF BULLETIN BOARD POSTERS"
(A case study of Packerrates and the member "Patler" in the first person.)
by "Patler", 2011.

Note: This had been a lengthy response in which I addressed questions and issues raised. People have asked why I have backed away, so I answered in detail, which, of course, merely provoked others. So:

Upon further reflection following the insightful commentary from HarlanHuckleby below, I have edited my lengthy comments to something more acceptable.

Patler - What can I say, wow, Im blown away. I guess I will just be totally open with you and hope you can feel me on this.

Let me start by saying I didnt have anything to do with this thread or its topic. I have zero intentions of charging to visit. If you didnt notice I dont even run ads. I have never asked for one cent even if I needed it and guess what I dont need it now. Part of what RG says is true, I was not up to the task of running the forum. You know that but what you dont know why. PackerRats, Retail, "Joe" or I have done nothing that has damaged or cost you anything other than your time which is your choice. If I didnt care about this place Im sure I could have dumped it off somehow. I was just at a time in my life when a family member was ill and my mind and time was elsewhere.

OK, everything is wonderful.

Retailguy was my friend still and someone I trusted enough to ask such a favor. Yeah what I did which was deceptive but really was it that big of a crime? At no point was this forum in any danger of not existing. I figured why not let the place have a different driver for a while. I never really did anything as "Joe" outside of a few things RG wasnt familiar with. RG was the one that handled the persona. We would talk about stuff on the phone some forum some personal. He is a good friend and a good guy. I truly did him wrong with all this and for that Im sorry. He is really the only person I owe an apology to in regard to all that mess.

OK, everything is wonderful.

If any issue is with me for not providing you the examples I said regarding your post I apologize. It was not a big deal to me but maybe it was to you. I meant nothing by it and I had just noticed things like words or grammar I had rarely seen in your post. You have always been a revered poster so it is disappointing that you no longer feel this place is worthy of your time. I wish you would reconsider but either way the show must go on and admission is always free.

OK. Everything is wonderful.

CONCLUSION

Everything is wonderful

Everything started to go downhill after you removed your avatar

Better now?

Forget my suggestion on dues. What this forum really needs is an asylum. I'm serious. Just a place where people experiencing personal drama can go for some soothing music and games of checkers with the other residents. There should be no stigma associated with the asylum! Just a temporary rest area, we all may need it sometime. Any post over 20 sentences should be a red flag. Certainly Madtown, RetailJoe, and Patler from this thread deserve a vacation. I'll bet Patler is almost unbeatable at checkers. That Tarlam! thread was also a rich source of asylum candidates.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I just got a PackerRats PayPal invoice for $1500 from Sharlene Fuckleby. Are you saying it might not be legit?

Quit your bitchin. Do you know how much a hip replacement costs? Just give thanks that you are securely in the 1% and dig deep this holiday season.

Weren't you completely gone from here for a few months yourself a while back?
I seem to recall a period of serenity.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was off with your mother, who by the way wears army boots. You may have had serenity, but not me - what a screamer!
I'll bet she's loud during sex, too.

[Patler]

OK, everything is wonderful.

Better now?

Sweet!

the Meadow....now the asylum? This place is sounding like The View.

Elizabeth looks like a screamer.

You've uncovered the secret to a long and happy marriage.

Rather than questioning Patler's right to feel the way he feels, I'd be interested in hearing if there is something we could change or improve to get him posting here again.

You're part of the 99%. Mostly by volume.

And we have a winner!! Otherwise this thread just depresses me.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I sense Patler could use a blow job. It appears that Campbell and Ziggy are ready, willing and able to service. No need to push and shove, one at a time.

[MJZiggy]

Better now?

Much.
