Super Groovy!!!

Am I speaking an untruth?

 

[NeTree]

Yep. But I won't waste your time trying to explain it; you aren't going to listen anyways.

And to answer the question you PM-ed me about, I have no idea why Mike went off to pick a fight; I can only see why why he'd want to.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't need anything "explained" to me. I know exactly why you're in the boat you're in.

Remember, you put yourself there and only YOU can get yourself out of it.

 

[NeTree]

Whatever. :roll:

You still haven't commented on the other 99 percent of my post.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yes, very observant of you.

 

[NeTree]

Great comeback.

Newfie is just being honest with what he thinks. Sure its not what you want to hear but would you rather be humored? I know I wouldn't, I'd rather have folks say what they are thinking. I agree that changing Newfie's avatar was not cool and I am not surprised if he got a little angry. I have been in his shoes myself. Butch, like most people, sometimes you can be a jerk. The difference is that you have a forum in which you can edit posts and eject this person or that for saying things that don't appeal to you. You can do that if you wish, its your site. The question is do you want to alienate core people who make this place what it is?

Changing an avatar is no big deal to me, at ALL. Mike was acting like a clown, so I hooked him up. Period. What? Does your finger break and you can't do the 3 or 4 clicks it takes to change it back? Ya'll act like I was permanently forcing it on someone. How about when I give someone an avatar? I guess it's "OMG!!! MB GAVE ME AN AVATAR!!!" I've only had one complaint doing that, all the others usually thank me.

So, I guess you hate the avatar I gave you? And you're all freaked out over the fact that I did it? And you can't change it back? I did it all in good spirited fun, even Mikes.

Goddamn, I gotta groceries and take a break from this nonsense. :roll:

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."

The TreeHouse is going down the toilet unless you do something to stop it. A little humility would seem to be in order. When you were just dumping on me, I chalked it up to your personal antagonism to my religious beliefs, but lately you seem to be taking a crap on anyone whenever it strikes your fancy. One might suspect you're on steroids or something the way you've been acting.

I really do like to hang out here, but your attitude lately just sucks.

Butch, not to join the bandwagon....but you need to listen to your friends. It's alot EASIER to just leave, and what they're saying is alot more difficult than just telling you off and leaving.

We ALL did that once, ended up here.

You should not be changing people's posts, avatars, or the like.

Be kind.

 

[Paul B]

You really have to do that? Can you give me an example?

nothing in particular comes to mind, just once in a while I read something that seems a bit untoward and I decide to ignore the post and go to another thread, or not spout back. I had a rant a few months ago and when I looked back the next day I decided I wasnt going to let anyone or any forum get under my skin that way again. More of a realization to recognize the stuff I wont agree with and say WGAF and walk away back to real life.

Went to get the stomach camera check this morning, turned out OK, fortunately. I'm slipping that in here, because the last couple weeks I've been really concerned about my health, having symptoms that might have been stomach cancer.

During this time, while still participating at the TH, the place seemed kind of distant, and any squabbles seemed very inconsequential. Two things come to mind from this. One, is that we are all pretty lucky to not have more pressing concerns, so what goes on here is relative to our day to day existance, and the other is that we all have the mind to control our impulses, prioritize things so that participating to the extent that we get emotionally involved,... bothered, is less a factor. Learning to get along can be a life long experience.
