What if all forum members were forum hosts?
 
A. There would be no complaints about forum hosts. We are all equal.
B. So many hosts. That would make me feel extra welcome. 
C. No discussion neccessary. All threads wiil be locked soon by any forum host.
D. It is a tedious job to judge every post. No one will make any music.  
E. I will not post anything. I suffer from atychifobia. (fear of failure)
F. I don't need a forum anyway. Kill the forum and be friends on facebook.
G. All of the above
H. Non of the above 

Mooch says the answer is always "C" and, in this case, I can see that as possible. 

I had a good and talented friend once who actually had a fear of success. And, ironically, he died before he had any. I'm sure he's not alone.

I had a friend that feared success because he knew if he was successful in acting he would be able to afford more coke and knowing he was the type that would literally snort as much as he could afford....well, i have yet to see his name in lights. i applaud him understanding his limits, but boo him taking the path of failure instead of cleaning up his drug problem. talented guy but ...

I fear success if it would mean having to air my dirty laundry in public. Bitter ex-girlfriends revealing embarrassing secrets etc 

I'm right there with the 'fear of success' thing.
 
I'm really into astrophysics, quantum mechanics, how everything is made... how it all works... that sorta thing. It's the core of me... wanting to understand how things relate and function (part of why music appeals to me beyond personal pleasure).
 
I thought I discovered something close to 15yrs ago now... still believe in it actually after all this time. I knew that if I was right, that if I could prove my idea right, attention would follow on a large scale. It's now sometimes hard to tell if I still haven't followed through because I fear being wrong or because I fear being right. I've rationalized both sides at this point but the fear of success has been in my mind from the very beginning.
 
Discovery, new knowledge, it's all cool and stuff... but it's a really tough crowd out there. It seems that whatever you put before the masses, will always result in someone screaming at you, that you have no right, or they'll just fight you because change sucks to them. /shrug

I swear I'm not making this up. Put it down to 'doesn't do well with crowds'. Still, it's the top idea I have atm that I plan on getting to the bottom of some day.
