Title: Hey Beet1e
Post by: Steve on January 01, 2004, 01:28:52 PM
Hi beet, I got your text message but couldn't get it to scroll down to read last half.  Tried to call that number back but was told the number was no good.  It's probably just that my cell phone isn't set up for overseas calls.  Happy New Year.

Oh, MDM never called.   Heheheheheh.

I have a Sony Ericsson T610 - the one with the camera and screen. Does your phone have a screen? I'd like to try sending you a picture - nothing rude, just a test pic to see if it works. I've got a picture of a Me109E somewhere... ;):D

PS, this should be in the O-Club.

Someone was lamenting the loss of a cat in the O'club like it was the lifelong love of their life, a soulmate... on and on and on. Why someone would express this on a public forum and to that degree struck me as ... well.... very strange.  I replied "It's just a cat".... that was my last thread in the Oclub.

Hehe, guess you learned the hard way that it's just as easy to say nothing at all.

Haven't learned anything really Beet1e, except to reinforce that unfairness lives everywhere.  I posted an opinion that was deemed insensitive, got kicked out of the O'club. Some internet tough guys threatened to beat me up, even shoot me.. their behavior was studiously ignored.

Urchin, I've had pets in the family all my life, currently have 2 dogs and a cat. Have great stories about each of them on what wonderful pets they are.  When one of them dies, I'm not going to come on this board and tell you about it, and how one of them was my best friend, broken hearted.. blah blah blah... not only would that sound a bit extreme, I don't see how airing such grief in a public forum, to a group of people who are largely strangers, is a good thing. Certainly one who does so shouldn't blubber like a girl when someone comments in  a way said person doesn't like.  After all, this is a public forum.
Now, we can continue to open this can of worms and have skuzzy come in here and slap me around some more, in spite of the fact that I've done nothing wrong, or we can just drop it.

Oh, I wouldn't beat you up or shoot you or anything.  I actually agree that I wouldn't make a big deal out of the fact that my pet died, but I can understand why people might.  But then, some people are more open then others, I happen to be not so open.

Lol  Murdr.

Urch, the whole thing was pretty surreal.  Banned form the O'club... at first I was irritated w/ the absurdity of that.. now I get a little chuckle when I think about it.

ROFL, that's why I haven't seen you post there in a while.  

This wasn't by chance the "FREE CAT" thread, was it?

No, this was a thread about a guy  who's cat had died.  Did that "Free Cat" picture make it into the O'Club?  Rofl
The timing was right, but  I didn't post the "Free cat" picture.... was hysterical though.
