that's why I came here and never went back to that other place.. all those years ago.<br><br><br><br>

yeah .. don't people learn anything at school anymore?<br><br><br><br>

What I find so amusing (and agonizing at the same time) is how serious and possessive and snippy everyone gets when it comes to a message board...<br><br>Ignorance would seem to be the best policy, wouldn't it? If people didn't LET themselves get riled up so much, then the ones doing the riling wouldn't have much of a head of steam, would they? Sure, everyone has a breaking point, but you wouldn't believe how many angry replies I've typed out, and then just hit the 'cancel' button- the post never to be seen in the light of day. I got it out of my system, and no one's feelings got hurt.<br><br>And I think Sam was referring to Spymac, if I'm not mistaken. What a bunch of idiots over there, huh? Huh?<br><br><br><br><br>[color:red]You slap my back, I'll slap yours!</font color=red>

admittedly I have cancelled a lot of posts and there are some I wish I had cancelled. you made a good point there DM<br><br><br><br>

<s>Shut up, DM. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. You think you're so high and mighty. Try looking at yourself for a change, jerk!</s><br><br>Well said, DaddyMac! Cheers!<br><br><br><br>

Why yes, Trog, its a BIG old secret that no one is going to tell you about! <br><br><br>

Not so unique that bit about typing a post/response and then deleting it before actually posting it. Shooshie and I actually mentioned that we do the same thing a lot! I've read where others do it too.<br><br>Imagine what the places we hang would look like if we and others did not show good restraint now and then. You're a good man <s>Charlie Brown</s>, er, DM<br><br>KateMate

Sometimes I do it not only in response, but when creating a new post. I read it and think this is just going to be misinterpreted and it isn't worth it.<br><br>

just about everything I say ends up misinterpreted so I just say less. <br>trouble is that some never shrug off their grudges.<br>some take them to the grave.. <br>not pretty,<br>is it<br>?<br><br><br><br>

Trog, Freerider was banned from MacCentral for continuing rude behavior after many requests from many people, including myself, to stop it. Some are trying to spread the rumor that he was banned for his politics, but nothing could be further from the truth. MC has many people who are further out than he ever was, politically, and there has never been talk of banning anyone for a political position. It was entirely because of continuing rudeness to other members, and only after a year of it. On top of that, he was apparently spoofing his IP, which is like waving a red cape in front of a forum administrator. And the biggest mystery of all is why he did not immediately come here to join his friends who miss him so much, or for that matter, why he hasn't been here all along. <br><br>Shooshie<br><br>[color:green]Pictures and things</font color=green>
