A good friend of pointed out how cheesy the title was that I came up with that cold December weekend. Back then, among the multitude of reasons I was creating this...thing...one which I was intentionally preventing it from being was "welcoming to friends". I was just getting my thoughts down in a place I didn't have to deal with other's people's shit or even the illusion of "authority". Any feedback I hoped to attract was what the "alternative" community generally considers "negative" and most of the forums are fortified with rules and administrator to PROTECT the membership from....I had hoped to draw those elements...trolls, haters, and ideally critical thinkers--anyone who thought differently from me.
The title I chose at the time was a sort of nuero-linguistic command, I had hoped that anyone coming in would expose themselves...be friggin honest (for what I thought at that moment would be a "change")...OPEN UP! I still maintain that intent (and can't change the URL/link anyway I don't think ) but y'all find THE ONE TRUTH by jandean81 so I guess you can find your way to Phil's Place through my cheesey old acronym (that was the secondary concern in the 15 seconds I took to originally consider a name, I wanted an easy acronym if I were ever inclined to text/talk about it).
So thanks to a dear friend lamenting the fact she can't find a space in this community that hasn't been invaded with wackjob's, and another dear friend's suggestion the now not-current name is corny, I unveil "Phil's Place", the forum trying to be alternative within the alternative community. Well, currently it's still just me trying to make sense of the alternative...but we'll see what happens
