Hello everyone, my name is moderateman and I am a pointsaholic.
It all started quite innocently, I was looking for something to do with my extra time, when I decided to blog.
I first tried some sites that were rightwing, but even I could see I was not conservative enough for them.
I then tried some sites from the left, but all I could see there was about the election.
Articles on the left site where kind of like this “BUSH, BUSH, LIAR, COWARD, and CHENEY EVIL MONEY GRUBBER. RUMSFELD WARMONGER, bush bush bush bad bad evil wrong, wrong wrong.
I decided that was not for me as I wanted some fair and balanced thinking.
I stumbled into joeuser just by happenstance.
So I posted my first article and LO And BEHOLD, points appeared by my name, it was exciting to say the least.
Soon I was posting more articles and the points started adding up, I started to really enjoy seeing my name on articles and the points! The glorious points.
I knew I was starting to have a problem because of the points, soon my craving for points became all I could think about, points I needed more points, in ever increasing quantities.
Then came the magic day when I saw my site listed among the top 10 most read sites, BUT I DID NOT CARE, All I wanted was the points, I thought and dreamed about points, lots of points.
Soon I was unable to sleep as my brain kept inventing new ways to feed my point HABIT!
Eating became a chore because it took me away from my quest for more and more points.
I stopped bathing and having sex in my all consuming drive for more points, bigger points shiny points all powerful points.
Well I am here now to tell you, being a pointsaholic is not a nice thing, soon I was selling my possessions for more points, then came the day when I became homeless, my last possession to go was my computer, then as fast as it started, it stopped… NO MORE points. I became more withdrawn and somber, my hands constantly shook from point deprivation, and the food I would steal from the dumpsters caused me to poop myself and gave me cramps.
I have been point free now for 11 years, but the craving is still there, silent, deadly and patient waiting for my first slip so I can go once again crashing to the earth.
I am warning mothers and fathers, do not let your children grow up to be pointwhores.
