"...well yes I suppose, because in all probability at some point one dies first..." replied the goblin, adding "...though till then it's optional whereas afterwards it's doubtful, though sadly, most forums too, seem to fold before these random threads do, I mean none of those bbs forums are around now, but people still play "last post" in some defiance to that dailylife perhaps, or just innate greed then..."
"...yes, I guess one could put it that way, in that the other post came about from the toltec idea of manipulation of dreams..." started the goblin, continuing "...which in turn is a short step from the manipulation of memories now, where simply one chooses to redo something in one's past, like buying a packet of sweets from the corner store, and then lets the memory choose itself, that is one sees and feels back for time, season, weather, etc., then one adds details like what one is wearing, how high is one from the ground, what am I buying, with what money, what sounds, smells, and so on...", and no, the goblin didn't do it to write better, he did it to strengthen the memories, adding "...there's a strange sense of smell that one often forgets looking back, the seaside smell, the funfair smell, even the classroom, etc., sounds too, yet most people never bother to check what they remember, I mean why should they as it serves no purpose in dailylife..."
"...very little..." replied the goblin, explaining "...the reposts are simply air/edit/backup now, where each time I repost something it gets feedback, while I get to edit it too, and where it becomes a backup should something happen to the original...", yet nothing actually mattered by it, in that the goblin was anonymous and had been banned and so many times with his threads/posts erased too, that he had reached an understanding now, a madness even, that it was not so much what resulted form posting as the gaining of the ability to do posts in themselves that counted, saying "...think of all this as the reader seeing only the written footprints of a creature that the author actually sees, the author writes hoping that his pen will capture the contour of the creature knowing that the creature is never quite caught by it, just that it's this practice of capturing that the author is trying to strengthen within himself each time...", and that was all it ever was then, yet that was so much too
"...well, today I'm rather pleased you did too..." replied the goblin clearly recognising the writing style, adding "...admittedly both of you did your level best to thwart me there, where I lived under a shadow of what might happen to me or my posts and threads, just as it turned out then, yet it was this forum afterwards that then took me in, accepted me, and encouraged me further as long as I kept my act to the edit thread then...", at which point the goblin just smiled, saying "...btw just so you know for next time then, a troll has no readership and clings to the shirt-tails of those who do, me I wasn't allowed that edit thread on your forum, they were deleted without let up, because you had ideas as to what was or wasn't writing, or who was or wasn't a writer, and yes, I'm opinionated perhaps, but I dare anyone to find a malicious post of mine, and then his final ultimatum PM to conform to type or otherwise just freed me from caring even...", yet the goblin still held out the saucer of cream to the cat, saying "...so today I will be to you here that which you weren't to me back then, I will encourage you to write on this forum in any way that you feel does most justice to your posts, moreover, I will read that which you post in my direction too and befriend you where I can, so let's see if we can put that past behind us now...", and with that the goblin cast that old memory aside once more, knowing that the goblin's act was now established, the pace was most demanding, and those forum readers would be waiting for him elsewhere on this forum
"...yes but Jats is going somewhere by editing his posts, so his readership here and elsewhere is on the ups, whereas you, well you're hurting your mind by posting those sordid pictures, slipping ever further back from whom you want to be too, reduced to finding depraved pictures while thinking perhaps that those around you might admire you for your trolls, do they, if so then why can't you get the hitcount on your own, no, this forum is doing you no favours here, it's stringing you along watching you hurt, sink and slip behind..." mentioned the goblin, adding "...you see, we have something to show for what we do, Jats did a post yesterday on xxxxx forum that made fifty hits straight off, if he posted it to his other forum where I'm banned it would have made hundred easily, and you xxxxx, well lets just say that all that you have is what you have shown us to date, sad isn't it or aren't you ready to admit it and change..."
