Hi and welcome. It seems so few on here look at a profile description. Thank-you for taking the time to look at mine. Just a regular person moving through this thing called life.

My profile pic (of the Earth) is a give away - I am passionate about sustainability. My background is in economics so this is nowadays my lead in to sustainability. Namely reconnecting the economy to nature, which ultimately supplies us with any ability we have to meet our needs and wants.

Other than that I like learning new things. Both information and skills.

Chat with me to get to know me.

I have posted a blog entry on here from 14 January 2024 (see: tom livanos ). It provides the history of my time on Wireclub, going back 10 years now. How the time has flown. I continue to be at a loss as to what has been going on. I shall leave any interested people to read it to know what I am talking about here.

I can be more on the serious side of "the chat scale". I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do come from a good place. If you chat with me in a decent way then you may expect me to reciprocate. At least that.

Okay thanks again for your time and attention in reading and have a nice day.

- Tom

Hi all,

After a break of two months, here is a blog post I have written – tom livanos . I begin: please take a look at this post. It is a long one. If you deem it too long then do us both a favour and just move on. I shall not even know the difference. For anyone who continues to read.. well.. cheers for doing so. This is a message about my past, my present... and self-expression on this website – a site where one self-expresses and communicates with others..

Cheers,
Tom

Tom Livanos:
See above. By violating the common sense principle of coexistence, an injustice has been committed against me. Note: for whatever it may be worth in this crazy world, it is not an injustice I have committed against anyone else; as mentioned above, not here nor anywhere else on the internet. Nor offline for that matter.

Okay, it is an injustice. It keeps happening. I refrain from fighting fire with fire i.e. by looking to exclude those who exclude me. I'd only become the monster I am seeking to slay. My purpose in writing it all out is to make the injustice visible. That much at least.. I can do. Again I ask: what is one to do? Is it not each person's decision what s/he does in life? Where one goes - online or offline?

Am I meant to "outsource" or hand over that decision to people with money who pay some server fee? I pay a fee to access the Internet. In any case whether people have money or not, no-one can "hand over" decisions like where one goes (or refrains from going) on the internet; or, again, offline for that matter.

Besides, no-one owns the internet. This is the entire point. There are countless servers all over the world that connect us here. The addition of each person who comes brings more to the site unlike, say, a jumper which can only be worn by one person at any one time. To illustrate the point: imagine a chatroom which can only have one person in it at any one time. It does not make any sense. This is what I am saying: coexistence is the baseline. It is the very first thing that makes common sense.

What brought this on? I have just been removed from Chatroom: Take Me to a Private Message --- merely for writing of my experiences. No, actually... not even this. Merely for posting a link to the above blog entry and inviting people to read it. I even said that I welcome any other topic. So what does this amount to? Well to begin with it amounts to a lack of coexistence. Not everyone wants me to go. I do not want to go. Why then am I being excluded? I am not even attempting to get rid of anyone. Not even those who behave so violently (in the online sense) against me.

Why is it not up to me whether I stay or I go? How many times do I have to say it - it is a decency I am have always given and continue to give. To everyone - including those who are excluding me i.e. at the platform level. Let me interact with anyone else on here as an individual. They being an individual and my being an individual. Is this not the essence of a communications site, let alone this life?

People have - and may well continue to - call me a whiner. Well that may be so but what else is left to me at this point? I write to the powers that be and no reply. There are times when I can create an account and times when I cannot. It is plain as day that I am not being respected. Not by those who delete my account nor by those who call me a whiner.

The way I see it: I am making the injustices visible. That comes from a sense of self-respect. Not going to be taken away from me. If I leave then it shall be the result of my own choosing - not because some faceless so-and-so has deleted my account. How self-respecting would that be? Not at all. So... we return to that most basic of all common sense principles: coexistence. Not being violated.. or even threatened.. by me. Why do those others violate it? Not only with me but with others on here. Yes, again, I am not the only one this happens to.

Just leave me be. Leave me - and everyone else - fricking exist on here. It is the essence of the site you have created. I come here out of appreciation. How far humanity has come to enable live and global communications. Where are you excluders coming from? It is not appreciation; otherwise you'd simply live and let live the way the vast bulk of us do on here. Where are you lot coming from? Can you answer that one? Have you even asked it of yourself? If not then do so now. Heck, you are even invited to post your reply here. I shall at least read it. That much I can assure you.

The ball is in your court. On my end... well yeah... what am I/is anyone to do?

All the best,
Tom (Livanos)
