("...what hint, what nobody is interested then..." smiled the goblin thanking EastTexFrank for his well meaning assumption now, adding "...no, unless I'm reading the hitcount wrong here, where I'm posting in batches of three too, instead really I should be thanking everyone for reading me so much it seems...", and besides, here was a creative writing's section, a perfectly suited place then, where the editing, airing, and backing up one's posts too, seemed normal prudent even given how unsafe the goblin's tenure was, adding "...doesn't the line go something worth reading twice is worth writing twice then, where I can't see the harm in what I am doing as long as my posts show no malice towards others here...")

the goblin always liked the posts here, saying "...I am here because I have a great faith in this forum and those members I know now as being original and accepting, it's this laissez faire which really wins in the end, and besides, how others are to you is not your decision really, though how you are to others is your decision, and somehow reflects you to yourself by it, just you don't need to be like others now..."

the goblin thanked the poster, saying "...I suppose it's just because you listen to me then, sometimes that's all we can give one another, just lend ears that is, it's like when I phone my father, I only say to him "I just wanted to hear your voice", and perhaps that is the best thing I can say then, and probably all that he would accept as proper, simply it's the end, that much we know, but how can someone hold up their stoic wall of acceptance in silence, whenever it is compromised by the sentimentalities and dramas of those around them, and yet when he does want to say something I'm listening, that's all, that's my role I suppose, and then it'll be someone else's turn to listen to me one day, that's how life is and just how it then goes on without us too..."

the goblin really had no answers beyond the truth that he was here because he felt the others members were smart, though more importantly for him, they all seemed to have talent, so for him it wasn't an ordinary thread/stage on an ordinary forum/venue, no, it was venue feeding upon itself advancing, "...ah but this thread will end some day, yes they all end you know, so what, one might then ask, is the whole point then of one's effort here if it end..." the goblin stopped a second as if remembering that with his own life too where the same parallel could be drawn, and then he continued, saying "...well, if this thread gets me to think about my posts vis a vis your replies showing us who we are by what we post, then isn't that's reason enough to continue regardless of where and when it ends...", in fact, the goblin felt that most people neither knew nor cared about who they were on the inside for all that dailylife that clearly owned them on the outside, saying "...just owned by the moneygod then, until that moment when something within one wakes up, whereupon one sees one's dailylife for only a part one's total, and that is when one starts one's journey to self for real..."

looking back, the goblin wondered if it actually mattered all these years later then, where those politicians had settled out of court in some faraway country across the water from switzerland where he lived, and yet all that water under the bridge still seemed murky, as if those great moments of nixon's downfall and of clinton's impeachment seemed somehow betrayed by this "gore/bush election result" and by the political horse trading that followed in its wake, so the goblin simply asked "...well then, was it or wasn't it rigged, and will the voters ever get to learn the truth of it today, for whose democracy was it if it is decided by the parties themselves rather than the voters..."

"...no, what I understand is simply that if someone posts often enough then the contours of oneself might become clearer by that posting then..." replied the goblin accepting that the external self was ever moulded upon one's circumstances here, in that one was one's age, health, nationality, upbringing, job and marital status, etc., were all facts about oneself, but that one's inner self was evasive as if hidden by all those other facts then, so the goblin merely restated that he was not his facebook wall here, and yet, if he wasn't a facebook wall then, then by that understanding, who he really was was just had to be there upon his journey to self in posts across forumland

the goblin lets the post write itself, he often feared that if he didn't, it wouldn't, so the simple fact of switching off the distractions, first those obvious ones, and then recognizing the others too, had become an objective in itself here, in fact the bistro was better than his home in this way, yes there was both noise, people, and clutter, but they were not his, they, like the rest of it, were happening around him and not to him so to speak, then suddenly, he voiced aloud to himself something looking at the slot, saying "...this life will always find those tokens of value for one if one doesn't recognize true value for oneself...", so the other heads in the bistro would turn towards him for a brief moment, before they too, dismissed his utterance as yet another distraction to them

"You appear to exhibit some symptoms of menopause. It is important to note however, that many of the symptoms experienced in the perimenopausal and menopausal stage can be signs of a more serious problem, so it’s extremely important to inform yourself and talk to your doctor. Although menopause itself cannot be avoided, there are ways to make the transition much more smooth and comfortable. There are many resources available that can help you better understand and deal with the events that usher you into this stage of your life."
"...goodie, I'll tell the boss then, getting a day off work perhaps to have a chat with the doctor now..." mentioned the goblin in high hopes, adding "...besides, nothing wrong with me, I am just perfectly goblin..."

and with that the goblin felt he should join in and test himself too, saying "...this gives me an understanding into those feminine minds of yours perhaps, besides I fear I'm turning sane again, always a bad sign on this internet now, far too boring being sane that is..."

repost from elsewhere, the "why isn't the coup in egypt being called a coup by the US government" thread
"...I suspect that its popularity in itself doesn't actually determine whether a coup is one or not, instead it might excuse it slightly to those with vested interest there, yet I fear that by dubbing egypt's coup as something else a dangerous precedent has been set where future coup leaders will simply claim that it was all in tune with the wish to abide by the will of the masses, and thus that those coups too would not be coups neither, which is exactly how the then entrenched albeit out of touch roman senate ended up losing control of its power to a long list of military dictators starting with titus lartius bc501 on through to gaius julius caesar's assassination in bc44, where whereupon the senate became in effect the wizard of oz with the real power going to its military instead who later proclaimed their leaders ceasars turning the republic into an empire..." ventured the goblin who then wondered if anyone here would believe that the military would ever relinquish real power to whoever got voted in later, saying "...I mean you do remember why vietnam was lost, and at the time how stupidly america supported the military junta of nguyen van thieau instead of any real democracy...", yes, somehow the goblin felt that adhering to the kirkpatrick doctrine was ever america's undoing, why, because few would trust an america who repeatedly venerated the principals of democracy across the airways while befriended despots upon the ground
