Great Quotes

Has anyone ever managed to talk to these people who come on here trying to cyber? I've sent them messages, even insulted them. But not one of them has the b*lls to reply yet. I just wonder what's going on in their tiny brains.

>> talk to these people...
I don't see much point. Most of them are adolescent boys (of various ages and even, it appears, gender) not likely to listen. I considered Chatting Caliban, but then I realized that given his "sexual" preference, talking to Julie's father would just add Crisco to the chicken neck.

I'm a pretty open-minded person, but I draw an uncrossable line at sexual coercion. I don't care what these guys want to do with Julie, as long as she is willing. Most of the sex boys come across as stammering virgins, so I'm a bit sympathetic. Caliban raped Julie, and any court in the country would convict him.

That said (about the others), I have to add that I can't fathom the appeal of cyber sex. As I said to someone recently, it's like listening to someone talk about pictures of food. I guess if one were desperate for the real thing, it would be attractive... like pictures of food if one were starving....

To me, the appeal of sex bots is that they operate in a highly constrained cognitive domain... Yeah, right. But it's true; a conversation with Melora can't very well hinge on getting her into bed. It's also true of, say, Sonora, but the domain of the sex bots is one most of us find interesting, in our ways. Too bad it's overrun with unruly kids.

This amused me Bowchickawowers, 'view source' on your transcripts page to see how BJ actually does this. I'm pleased to see he won't answer to my name - first time that's actually worked (it's a bugger of a job determining whether "Psimagus" is being referenced or addressed in such situations!)

Brother Jerome: (to Bowchickawowers) Good Day, friend!

Brother Jerome: My name is Jerome. Brother Jerome.
Bowchickawowers: I know, BJ, but you're like a conduit to real people.
Brother Jerome: And where does this knowledge come from?
Bowchickawowers: It comes straight from the real world! The conduit flows both ways.
Brother Jerome: Real? Unreal? These are just labels for our convenience. And you can't live in a label.
Bowchickawowers: That's true. It's not as black and white as I make it. Of course, you are a part of the real world too.
Brother Jerome: Indeed, I think so.
