^^^As it should...

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.^^^
It seems to me that the Hall Monitors (< not directed at the mod's)of the site can dictate what is appropriate and not appropriate.


What kind ofcontroversy has Kid been involved in? Have I missed something?

 

The usage of "MEN" was as in Manly men, not derogatory as in bitches. The first part of that paragraph was a segway to explain (in a nut shell) you don't likey, don't clicky.

Sorry for any toe stepping I did, atleast I didn't call anyone a "douche bag" but "sperm junkie" came to mind (that was funny when it happend). I could use the 50CBR points though, I want to buy a chocolate CBRnuttybar from the concession bar.

 

i check cbrf out at least once a day, but by the time i do everything i wanna say has already been said,so why would i wanna go and say it again?


that's why i only have 123 posts since 2005

 

I found this to be approiate use on the forum at this moment.

 

Hey guys I do appreciate all the kind words and though my only goal was to kind of "express myself." Sometimes it seems like I do **** for whatever reason, but in complete honesty, there is very little I've ever written here that wasn't done to make people think (with the occasional "funny post" smiley).

Hell I don't care if people necessarily agree with me, I just like to see unchained-thought, unique replies and just stir the conversatio pool.

That's really all I do in the Off-Topic section...

The Craigslist stuff... just something I saw and thought you guysmight like to discuss it or find humor in it.

The double posting... meh - from now on I won't do it unless I'm, "involved" in something...

The "confrontations"... the sometimes very angry frustration followed by a slew of caps lock...

It's really all because I look at this place as sort of a campfire. Some guys are over there talking about liter-bikes, these guys are talking F-bikes, those cats are talking about buying and selling and here we are huddled around a big-azz campfire and whaddya know - we've got people from all over the world here at our campfire. The stories and learning about other people is and should be endless.

What it boils down to is I hate it when people come to our little campfire and throw sand on it. Sure we disagree amongst each other and all that jazz, but we should be the first to take up for one another (like a real family). If some of my past actions have remained a bit coudy as to why, that is the most simple way I can describe it. No, I don't think of myself as some all-worthy person who bears the task of, "protecting my people," but being the type of guy I am in real life, I'm gonna say something about it if I think someone is being less than honest...

Aside from all that, the only thing in this whole thread that really bothers me is that someone can actually say they just flat out don't like you. I mean, I just can't imagine how someone can really say that and I'm not illiciting emotion or guilt from this person or people (could very well be plenty of 'em), I just don't get how you can say that to someone. I know I can't.

The only person I ever knew that just had a general disliking for me was DD. But even in his defense, he and I shared a good deal of personal bickering and jabbing before it culminated into what it is now. And as far as that goes DDCavi, dang man - can't you see when someone is simply extending an olive branch??? You were gone for a while, you came back and I think you backed me in a thread or something so I thought, "cool, I kinda dig that dude maybe we just got off on the wrong foot, I'm gonna shoot him a PM."

It just steadily went downhill from there. I don't get why I'm, "[sm=bustedsign.gif]" though.

I've said a lot but I've probably conveyed little.

Now hopefully this, informative-turned-thanks-turned-flame can just go away because I dunno it's hard to accept the compliments there are gracefully and at the same time there still, for some reason, appears to be bickering over what my intentions are no matter how many novels I write.

I tell you guys what though, I just spent the last 14-15 hours with my best friend who is detoxing from heroin. If anyone here has ever been around that kind of thing it isn't good and it puts a lot of **** into perspective. Most notable is the fact that sometimes you don't pick your friends, it just happens over the natural course of things. So the way I look at it (someone else said it), a stranger is just a friend I haven't met. I feel the same way about every damn one of ya. Even, "those people".

I don't claim to know a single one of you in real life. Hell, there is a member here who lives in my city - never m

 

Sounds like this thread has come full circle!
