    Hello :)

    This is my very first time here. I used to visit the Intelligent Singaporean bfr. I took a break from reading blogs. I returned recently with all the talk about freeing up the net.

    Someone posted me this.

    Its Bambi Darkness Bad Boy’s last message. I cannot believe it. He used to be part of my life for so many years. He used to write such beautiful love stories. And he just walked right out. Just like that. In that terrible way.

    Its not even a nice way to leave. He left by the service exit, just like a beggar. I dont like the ending. Not even a bit.

    What a sad ending. Heroes are never supposed to die, they’re supposed to fade out.

    Didn’t he realize. In 10 or 15 years time. No one will ever remember a single thing that was ever said about the whole idea of community moderation, no one will even remember TOC or wonder who the blogger 13 were or what they were trying to prove.

    All this for nothing. Nothing. What a fool. But even a fool has his charms.

    Good Bye, Good Bye

    some jokers still hankering for demonscracy. hello. look around you, what we have or see around us(regional countries) are mostly bloodied sheeps led by PARTY POLITICS similar in kind to mega- or meager- church institutions who shamelessly fleece( deluded) their flocks with their(shepherds) perverted doctrines UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF GARBAGEMEN who bloody cover up for them despite knowing/discovering “some discrepancies” because, among many other reasons, these garbagemen probably do not want to jeopardize any CAPITAL interests and unholy alliance with SHAREHOLDERS OF BUSINESSES/PROPERTIES WHOSE PROSPERITY IS MOSTLY DERIVED FROM MONIES WORSHIPFULLY OFFERED BY SUBMISSIVE SILLY SHEEPS and thereby deliver another nasty blow to the NATION PSYCHE of yet another corrupt wealthy clergies now in hiding under the umbrella of garbagemen blah blah blah

    deluded nuts, the earlier you wake up from “party politics” the better but then, like deluded sheeps, please, go ahead and enrich your masters.

    but blessed are those in sg because, our beloved leaders are so “moral and credible” we don’t have leadership or talents like some stupid clubs ripping off members monies and become billionaires and then sue each other because they have such WHITE AND CLEAN REPUTATION to PROTECT.

    tsk tsk tsk…guess which unfortunate country harboring all these ‘talents’ me talking about?

    errr…thnk you hor for your kind of ‘demonscracy’ and ahem, for reading this piece of crap writing with no substance which you can kindly ignore(yay for freedom of speech and totally legitimate from one’s perspective hor)… hehee

    Apparently, there is this “politics of fear” perpetuated by some people that if we start ‘cleaning up this mess’, we may lose our precious jobs and even the roof over our heads.

    :)

    Well, soul is cheap.

    Very sad Karen, September 16th, 2008 at 2:43 pm. Indeed. For someone who writes so well. You would have thought, he could at least have given us a decent curtain call by scripting his exit instead of just ambling out like a drunkard. Very sad indeed. But Darkness wrote an awful lot and whenever I feel blue. I can still manage to find what he once wrote. It’s never too far away. I think its that way with memorable writers like Darkness. They don’t ever go away. Not completely, at least.

    Chin up girl! Here’s looking at you.

  5. Bear Bear Says:

    Its a terrible way to leave. No goodbye’s. No closure. No nothing. I hate him so much for leaving us all in the way he did. I hate him. How can he be so heartless and cruel? Even today. I can’t bear to bring myself to read it. I just wish someone will delete it.

  6. soso Says:

    ah, our own benny hinn

  7. cocky bush Says:

    When he flipped those papers in the house for the camera, he affirmed his invincibility.

  8. pestor Says:

    why? that’s the factory that produces men and women who became ‘yes people’ and were then sent back to medieval age where it was LEGAL for the king to chop off anyone head who dare to utter words of disrespect against him.

    the new king has no such privileges. he died.

  9. saxon Says:

    he got his armour and rushed into the battle headlong. he’s been at every battle, fighting for what he believed in with nothingness by his sides

  10. hello Says:

    dear karen,

    there are two approaches when served with a f**k note or being referred to as prostitute

    1) send a lawyer to ask why

    2) send a broken person to ask why

    1 may involve jail terms and at the other extreme, start world wars

    2 may lead to friendship and even world peace

  11. babel Says:

    So bloody sensitive, Why don’t they understand figurative terms commonly used in the book they swear by huh? The book has got full of insulting words one can use why not have it burnt then?

    And btw, those who sold their souls to the world system or BEAST are called…PROSTITUTE. Don’t like it?
