Amp, my dear new friend, I'm glad you could take time out of your busy posting schedule to reply to this paltry little observation I made.
You're obviously not perceptive enough to understand the wit behind my name. I can't really oblige you with an intricately detailed explanation, although I know this is what you were hoping for. It's funny that you're so narrow minded that you don't even understand that the name is a blatant mockery of the adult industry; It's a personification of all the falseness and superficiality that is so ever-present, but you obviously cannot understand it. It's most likely superfluous to even bother explaining, as you'll never get it. Probably because you can't see beyond the scope of your own little reality, which consists of beer, long shoeless days, and incessant GFY msg board postings. And Amp, you don't even realize that you're a paradigm of the very things that my name ridicules.
I wonder if any of you are familiar with Plato's Allegory of the Cave (From Book VI of The Republic). This is Amputate. And he is a microcosm of this industry collectively.
To explain it simply, there are a group of people who are chained to a bench facing a wall in the cave. Behind them is a fire and a wall. In front of the wall are puppeteers. These puppeteers move their puppets, and the image of this is reflected off the wall onto the wall of the cave, and the prisoners in the cave see this, and are completely convinced this is reality. All that exists to them are the shadows on the wall, moving back and forth. When one of the prisoners is released, and sees the real world, and then returns to the cave and tells everyone else that there exists outside of the cave a huge world, his fellow prisoners ridicule him, saying he's mad. So, basically, they can't see beyond the scope of their own reality. They think that the things that they have experienced are all inclusive, and nothing could possibly exist beyond that. And so is Amputate.. that sort of mentality stifles progress.
Anyway, this is why you don't understand what my name meant.. You're trapped in a cave.
Ok, now to condescend to your level, just the other day you were trying to convince everyone how this board shouldn't be taken seriously, and it is a place to vent -- Yet, you unyieldingly try to convince everyone that you actually have something useful to say by continuing to post. Or perhaps you just acknowledge that you have nothing constructive to add and just like to see your name, and are trying to run up your posting #'s (I'm sure to make up for a lack of good sign up #'s). Whichever is the case, it's quite funny. Your name is very creative, by the way -- I marvel that I couldn't have thought of something so terribly witty.
Another thing that is amusing is that you didn't try to refute the latter example of my post:
"Is the GFY board a place where we can share ideas with one another, and learn new things, OR a place where our deepest psychological problems can be manifested, allowing us to do things like develop these huge alter-egos and obsess about developing our online persona"
I guess you have to agree with me by default, because in this case, you are THE text book case of one who uses the board as a place to develop an alternative personality, and quite obsessively at that (7000 posts speaks for itself).
I'm thinking that I am done wasting my time arguing with you, as you can't possibly think of a retort predicated upon anything other than childish insults.
p.s. - don't forget to check your stats for this half-hour, you might have another 20 clicks or so.
