Yeah- perhaps I worry about the damage it does to the few actual friendships I have developed on here a little too much. That's the thing that really sucks. Guess that's just me though.
Kiddo? Dude, I'm older than you! And BTW of course hot dogs are cool, they're my main food group, but I'm not so sure I would like to BE one. :( What's it like?
First - thank you for taking the time to respond. It's a good bit better than most give me. In the past, I kept light-hearted about it, but unfortunately learned that letting it go ALSO ends up letting it go too far, so it's one of those damned if I do, damned if I don't things. Otherwise, I am generally easy-going... but that issue just sets me off. Part of it in the past has been trolls, and part of it has been people that saw it as a way to attack me to try to run me off. At some point, it's easy to lose track of which is which. My past is that there is nothing there (short of one minor cheating incident) other than things people fabricated. I take that one personally I guess because I DO know people that have been affected by people who DO exhibit that behavior, so it bothers me to be lumped in with those types. Anyway - thanks again for the advice, and no hard feelings.
Look- here's the deal. I don't know you; you don't know me. If there is some actual concern you would like to discuss or advice you would like to pass on, I would be more than happy to talk to you about those. However, vague one-liners shot back and forth between our walls really resolves nothing, and is more likely counterproductive to any motives or goals on either side. My apologies for getting defensive with you- but as you have likely gathered- I take a lot of unjustified crap around here, so yes, it gets me on edge. Anyway, as I said, I would be more than happy to discuss- probably even appreciative of a chance to discuss any of this in a more reasonable setting (ie- not in vague forum posts) if you are interested. Thank you.
So you have some sort of "motive" here? I have not done anything wrong. People make dumped up and spread them, and I am supposed to accept that? How messed up is that? I wasn't even thinking of the word libel when you popped in with it this morning- so I'm still not even sure wth is going on here.
Once again. A) do I know you? B). What the hell are you even talking about? I have never spokenbto you before in my life and you pop up with this? Whatviscthis about?
