Do you actually take the time in some situations and try to explain yourself. Or, do you just let somone think what they think and go on your way?


I joke about a lot in the forums and sometimes my jokes are taken the wrong way. I am new around here so will often put in an 'im only joking' disclaimer, but i feel its often obvious that i am just messing and dont do this. I know i have offended someone around here recently, but im not going to try and justify myself to them as it is someone that has known me for a long time and should know much better.


Very good point!

A good rule of thumb is NEVER to take me seriously.

Besides, how could anyone take a guy who sticks just about anything he gets his hands on up his nose seriously? Hmmmmm?

Another good rule is NEVER stick anything bigger than your elbow up your nose.....or is that ear? Well. elbows should not be inserted in any orifice from now on....

OMG Lex, I just perved your profile! GOOD LORD! My eyeballs are burning now! BUT HEY you got a way with words that's for sure, I laughed alot and snickered a little! You definately like tangents!

You Go DUDE! laugh


Thank you! I figure my 3508-page profile keeps people amused, plus it serves as a sort of reading comprehension test for those who dare to peek....!

Yeah, I love tangents. They're a lot like plastic forks, only a different color. I think.


yeah or the reflective turtles on the road... I like frogs (DOH)smokin

I hate chatting on here sometimes because what you might be saying isn't as much as it may seem to some people sometimes. Not so much if you might not agree with somones opinion, but when your expressing yourself in a general way and who your doing it with may not understand at first and take it as if it's more deep then what it actually is. Hope i'm making some sence herelaugh

When your chating by email or on the forum. Alot of the time if you don't use the right smiley somone will take what you might be saying further then what it really is. Not that it is a bad thing all the time, because some time you can see where somone stands with you whether you were looking for it or not. I guess also that it's hoiw you word things at times to. Anyway,

Do you actually take the time in some situations and try to explain yourself. Or, do you just let somone think what they think and go on your way?

Aw cmon!!! Everyone knows that ************* is coo coo for co co puffs. One week she's trying to trap a man into pregnancy. The next week she can't understand why he left her. The next week she's explaining how she's entitled to all social programs and doesn't have to work. The next week she's telling everyone that a guy she just met is giving her a new car for free and is entitled to it. The next week she is so bi polar noone can understand what the hell she's talking about. The week after that she's talking about her huge weight gain because she's depressed because she can't find a man to trap into a pregnancy. Doo whacka doo whacka doo.

A lot of you who patronize the site are too new to remember some of these characters. We had a lot of wierdos banned. "Mrsmoov" used to put pictures of his asscheeks on here and troll for young girls. Pure pedaphile freak. "Cherry" used to ask peoples opinions then fight with them when they replied. We've had some winners on here.

What's really sad is that with this dumbed down politically correct society you are not able to tell the truth to the stupid hence getting banned. Who can forget the whiner woman who whined about everything from her measely job to her love life being zero. She whined and whined "poor me" and one day asked "What should I do?" bl8tant came back with the reply "Lose 300 pounds and get an education you dummy". And got banned for it. Shame.

I always try to make the other understand my point of view even if it differes from theirs. Nothing wrong with having different opinions as long as you remain civil to each other.
I AGREE..

Lex said it best when he said don't argue with the de evolution of society. Let them become darwin awards recipients. I agree.

While many of us may be new to "this" site...please be aware a great many of us are NOT new to the internet frivolities . One "dating/friendship" equals another around these parts - just different website names, same flavor, yanno? :wink:

I tend to take a few different things into account when engaging on the internet, and forums in particular:

1. Watch, LISTEN (read)...and learn. Consistency in one's posts will always speak volumes...much like "real" life.

2. Is this a person/poster I have let into my "real" life via private emails, phone conversations, and ultimately met in person...therefore, I can more easily gauge their true point of view/perspective before responding.

3. Am *I* in a personal space to truly respond objectively...devoid of judgment depending upon the topic...and offer a slight slant or support on things in a compassionate manner?

4. What are MY motives for posting?

5. Always remember...and NEVER EVER NEVER forget...there is always a living, breathing PERSON that types the words I am responding to...regardless of THEIR intent for their post(s).

I personally think the crux of this thread should be: First LISTEN...and THEN "speak". As I truly believe, and always will believe...LISTENING is far more critical to communication vs. "talking, talking, talking, blah, blah, blah...".

In closing, the written word is oh so powerful...as evidenced by history...by which we truly learn. I believe the internet has tainted this worthwhile history....for numerous reasons...mostly due to ignorance and our society's need for a "quick fix"...but, that's just MY humble opinion.

I honestly believe the Golden Rule of "Count to 10" should apply to posting as well. Simply ask yourselves:

1. Have I truly "heard/listened" to the other poster before I reply?

2. Do I HUMBLY have something worthwhile/informative/compassionate to exchange?

3. What are MY motives with my typed words: Honest feedback? Simply state my stance and be DONE with it? Acknowledgement/pats on the back/kudos for a well-stated post? Am I truly "okay" if my words are never even acknowledged in a thread?

4. Am I typing/representing who I REALLY am..is my text the same as my spoken words would be if I were engaging PERSONALLY (face to face) with "said" poster...or is my alter-ego simply surfacing because it is "safe" behind a monitor? Would I be willing/able to stand behind these typed words when/if I ever meet this person(s) in PERSON?

So? If you have taken the time to actually LISTEN to my winded post...perhaps you will take a moment to "pause for cause" before you hit the submit button on YOUR next "serious" post(s). :wink:

And for those who don't understand- go to darwin awards on the net. You will be amazed and greatful these people took themselves out of the gene pool. The dumbest of the dumb.
