Have you ever regretted joining the SKMB?

[FlakeNoir]

Once or twice. I'm not connected to the core group of friends here (who are all excellent, welcoming folk), but enjoy reading the posts and offering silliness. First and foremost I'm here because I'm a fan Mr. Kings' writing.

Yes you are!
We're all connected.
Come with us,
we'll all connect down here.

Or some such thing... (...there's a reason or two that Stephen doesn't use me for research)

You most certainly are connected to the Ka-Tet. Your posts brighten my day, make me smile, and often give me a needed laugh. A day without Mal just doesn't;t feel right.

Nah… but I'm sure there might one or two or twelve people that regret me joining.

My only regret is not participating here sooner, I joined in 2007 and didn't get to jump in feet first till a few weeks ago, been conversing with some amazing people here and I'm the better for it.

Two regrets, already expressed by others:

1. I didn't find the place sooner.
2. I'm not here enough.

No. 1, I can't fix without a RecentBack Machine. No. 2, just been crazy busy with Job and Life and Stuff. Far too much for my advanced years. I'm here when I can be.

I do not regret joining this Board, even though a couple of times things got heated up in the past. I think deleting Hot Topics was a great thing.

Try reading this whole thread from the beginning - several people have left and two have passed on (((SharonC))) and (((NateWatkins))) - really interesting thread

 

[osnafrank]

Nope, my only regret is not joining sooner!

Same here !

They are good people, King is slightly weaker than his wife. And I have to catch a bus from outside Wallsend Library and then walk home.

....I don't understand this post at all.....

 

[GNTLGNT]

When I made that joke post a while ago about leaving the forum I actually got a PM from someone who said she felt left out and that the board was cliquey or summat.

....from time to time there have been a couple of unfortunately hostile alliances formed, but were quickly shut down by the Mods....

I regret that I have only one life to dedicate to reading Mr. King's inexhaustible output.

 

[kingricefan]

Maybe twice. Once when I first joined and a guy called Walter made some crack about me in an indirect way like 'he keeps coming...and going... and going."
The other was when King and his son, Owen, were on stage, and KIng made a joke about how he hoped that there were no people with hangovers in the audience, and I knew King was making reference to something I had posted shortly before that. I actually like the fact that he takes notice. I was slightly disturbed with the nature of the website as I thought it wasn't 'highbrow' enough, as I'm an intellectual, and like to discuss things very seriously. I haven't come across anyone I didn't particularly dislike.

I doubt that King's reference to a hangover was pointed towards your post. I would call it a coincidence, that's all. Steve just doesn't have the time to be on here reading all of the posts. If he did he wouldn't have time to write.

Hey you! It's great to see you posting here again - welcome back

 

[king family fan]

I must say I thought of leaving the board a couple of times. Just some silly reasons.

YOu are one of us!! 'One of us! One of us! One of us!'- that's my 'Freaks' movie reference.

I saw King in Toronto with Owen and when he made the comment about women not falling in love with him (or something like that) and how he couldn't do anything about it BECAUSE HE IS MARRIED I could swear he was looking right at me.

Just kiddin'

Don't despair, Neesy. I'm always, um, lurking.

Um, he was.

I just meant that Tabitha King, in my opinion, is the dominant one in the relationship. What she says goes. I'm also saying that I think they are good people, just like I think my parents were fundamentally good people. King reminds me in some ways like my father, not physically, but in personality. My mother was the boss in the house. What she said was the law.

Ok, glad it wasn’t just me lost on this one Gnt...

When I posted that I had drunk 9 beers. So maybe that's why it comes across as slightly hard to understand. I apologise for any misunderstanding.
