I view message boards as a form of entertainment.
I don't come here for anything fulfilling, but rather to pass the time in a fun way.
Unless you're part of some support group message boards, I wouldn't think to look at them as fulfilling in the slightest.
Yeah, I don't post anywhere looking for fulfillment. But if I look at it objectively, I can see how posting here has bettered me somewhat. I'd say it's helped me with my composition, etiquette, and furthered my ability to identify logical fallacies and whatnot.
I suppose you could say I'm just trying to rationalize all the attention I give this place.
My boss gave me the 'I don't care how much work you do; you don't socialize enough' speech. I felt like I was in that movie Kafka. I got the feeling she was telling me that my desire to speak with anonymous names on a screen has permanently damaged my ability to make acquaintances in real life. And the general feeling among brass is that it's a security risk.
