LOL Was not going to feed the wolf but hey thanks for falling on your own sword continueing to beat a dead horse.

I am have to wonder how many people will want to put themself in a situation where they try to have a simple interaction with you if this is typical.

Trying to turn a simple opinion into this big "dramatic" debate of you being the innocent victim just doesn't wash. It is really sad for someone so young to have a view that people are out to some how hurt you when you are doing more harm to yourself than anyone.

@blueeyes2000 Your comment put a smile on my face! According to most the other posters I already did jam my foot in my mouth :P. "Name calling" was definitely the wrong phrase to use. I meant more along the lines of backbiting, to speak spitefully or slanderously to another, which is the same intent as name calling :P.

What was slanderous? The comment about being surprised if I got a date was, as it was an attack rather than something I could use to improve. There was no takeaway value from it and it was a comment served with intent to inflict suffering which is malice.

To that comment in respect with constructive criticism, "If you don't have anything nice(constructive) to say, don't say anything at all" fits well hear.

I know what you're thinking, "You asked for it"... please read on ;).

There is a stark difference between helpful feedback that I may not agree with vs. a comment which it's only intent is to slander.

I just had a great hamburger and curly fries, whew, so please don't tell me to stick my foot in my mouth! lol...
I'm just kidding! :P You have to be able to laugh at these things ;)

*by the way, how do you use the quote thing. I've tried several times and utterly failed! lol. I've never coded so I'm at a loss! :P*



I think maybe you should actually stop where you're at. You seem to think it's ok for you to take digs at people,but not ok if someone makes a comment that you don't like or isn't kissing your arse/feeding your ego. But it is what it is, and for the record, don't presume to know what I'm thinking. Have a good one and good luck.

You can assume I’m angry, but I've been calm in every single one of my posts and haven’t been angry once. I don’t mind showing others that I like to think through things logically rather than resort to name calling. I will try to explain myself if I feel I’m being misunderstood or misrepresented not because I'm being defensive but because I don't want there to be any miscommunication. I would hope others do the same instead of letting others be malicious to them and unnecessarily take jabs at them :o.

I don’t like miscommunication. I like to connect and relate which is opposite of someone who says, “I don’t care what you mean” but yet, had much to say and still posts for petty reasons like defending their maliciousness. Don't let your speed-reading create a bitter tone in your head for what I am saying; I assure you I am calm, rational, and level headed :)

Time to EAT! :D

Thanks again ;)

*wow 10 posts so far, you guys are really putting me to work here, lol*


That's good that you're not angry. You'll just have to get used to there being many different people here with many different ways of chatting. Not everyone is going to communicate just as you'd like. Not everyone has misunderstood you, either.

I suggest taking a look at the rest of the forums and joining us on different topics. It will give the rest of us a good idea of what you're like.

I wasn't speed reading. It's just how you came across here. If that's not what you're really like, awesome.
