Anyway, at least it's somewhat relevant to this thread. Your conduct in this thread is exactly the sort of behavior I'm saying has no place here. And that, my bitter little self-appointed nemesis, is really what this thread is about.
Actually this thread is about, in part, a thread I created and therefore partially directed at me so let's not get on the high horse there sir. You see there is a very real solution to the problem and it's easier on than in real life. In real life you should engage your brain prior to opening your mouth. In the online world you should engage your brain before typing but, lo and behold, you have the opportunity to read what little gems of wisdom you have just dispensed prior to hitting the submit button.
As you are sir an admitted bit of a pot stirrer I would say that you shouldn't be suprised when the criticism is directed towards you. In fact perhaps you should take a moment to consider the other persons point of view and, while you may not agree with them, give consideration to the fact that they see a situation differently.
Now for myself. The little trolls who like to make light of anyone who has the audacity to post on the holy Aces High board with a subject that you deem inferior to your status may say and do what you want. I've dealt with worse on internet boards where the members would send them home crying to mama and, frankly, unless it's REALLY amusing it's quite boring. If it's really amusing I generally laugh and send the poster a pm about it sharing the laugh. So far your efforts have really not been up to the amusing status. I could suggest some books if you like.
The bullies with what I like to call 'keyboard courage' that wouldn't have the cajones to say to another mans face what they just posted are merely the foamy scum at the corner of the great internet ocean and, while they are everywhere, are not really worth much thought or effort.
Now I know what you're thinking sir. I just called you scum. Nothing could be further from the truth. I did no such thing. I merely pointed out that people who typically engage in such behavior have that status from my point of view.
You may make up your own mind as to whether you fit into that category or not in my mind. I'm sure, however, that my perception of you is not important to your overall self esteem nor is yours of me or anyone I choose to associate myself with important to me.
I've categorized you based on my impression of you and you've categorized me based on your impression of me. In the big scheme of things it really means nothing.
Of course that's just my opinion..
