Am I too offensive for this board??

[THE]

The people on here have helped me save myself and my family from something horrible.. I guess you all got "in" with me in a way that usually takes years for anyone else. When I'm on here I just open up like a book. It's been nice, feeling like people care for me and not having to question the motive behind it.

As for my posts being too controversial or offensive.. I apologize if I am offensive to anyone .. I am a very free person .. With my life, lifestyle, ***uality, beliefs and everything else. I left school at a very very young age and have been employed three months of my life. I am not good with rules, regulations and restrictions.

I want you all to know that I have tried to not offend anyone. But I do know that there have been times when I should have just "shut up my keys". I do apologize for any clear indiscretions. I appreciate what you've done for me more than you can ever know and the last thing I wanted to do was make half of you all dislike me.

I'm very disappointed about my thread about that amazing video I saw being deleted off of here, and I'm already thinking that this might just be too restrictive for someone for me.

If I can't shut up my keys when I need to I'll go willingly. I honestly don't understand how that wonderful thing I posted the other day could offend anyone. It was truly beautiful, like a sunset, to me. I'd really like for whoever reported it to own up to it in a private message and explain to me what was so offensive about it.

I'm honestly a bit offended that it was removed. That really does irk me. I've seen some pretty choice things on here and they've managed to stand. But I don't carry grudges, for long.

I just offend some people.. and I am sorry if anyone is climbing a wall about anything I say or post.

I'm going to take another break, for now.
Cool down a little.

I didn't think the video was offensive at all. We are all grown ups here. I think that there was nothing Overtly sexual about it. I won't go into details, but that was a great vid. Thanks for sharing it. As for other instances, I think we are two very different people, and you do give too much info at times, and so do I. I've been censored from time to time and it is very frustrating. It IS a private web page, as the mods say. Technically, they have the right to limit anything you say. And it is a bummer that such a knoledgable friendly place is so restrictive. But it is what it is. Not much I can do about it. Most of the other vaping web sites are full of idiots insulting people because they ask a simple question. There is an obvious disadvantage there. And I like the people here. Personally, your post about pulling a shotgun on your brother in law was more offensive than most of what you have posted here. I was taught from a young age, always treat a gun as though it is loaded, and never aim a gun(loaded or not) at anything you don't intend to shoot. *shrug* That really bothered me, but no one got hurt, so WTF. Not much to complain about. I speak my mind too(as you know). But I also know how to hold my tongue because I might offend others. That is just mutual respect IMHO. Maybe that is something you need to work on, maybe not. again *shrug*. We had our differences, and I let it go as you seem to have as well. I didn't tell you to go to the Outside because you were bothering ME. Just that that type of topic WILL ALWAYS end in a hot debate(isn't that obvious?). It was just a suggestion to you. Sorry if you took it otherwise.

THE,

People get offended by things they don't understand, or just plain disagree with. When you have beliefs or opinions that are way outside the mainstream, you will find that a larger majority of people will not understand or disagree. (Not that I would know anything about that! LOL)

But where is the fun in only talking with people who have the same views as you? You would just sit around parroting each other. When you talk with people who have a different point of view on a subject, one of several things will happen. You will either change you opinion because they have presented a very strong, logical argument for their POV, or, if they have not, your position will be further solidified because your logic has proven unassailable. You will politely agree to disagree. Or it will degenerate into an emotionally charged screaming match. All but the last are good, and even that can be entertaining.

If it counts for anything, I like you.

(I missed the video - can you pm me a link?)

I never pointed the gun at him... I racked it, but it was pointed up in the air. It was just hilarious and harmless It was when he first started dating my sister and I was just having some fun with the guy. I love him like a brother, now Please don't ever think I'd pull a gun on someone for no reason ..

I thought you were out of line because you were so closed minded about me spanking my lady friends... Still do! But at the same time, I sure do appreciate you being so forgiving after I said such disgustingly insulting things toward you. Forgiveness isn't something I've had in life, very often, and it is greatly appreciated!!

You are aces in my book Mr. Thudd

I think break took it down though but it's on Youtube, now

There's no need to cool down.. I took a little highway drive, made a little money, came back into town and threw back a couple rum and cokes and a nice quiet little place..

I got on here and got some nice replies .. especially from stu .. he wasn't apologetic, he also didn't have a bad attitude about it. He factually explained to me why the video was removed... basically gave me the same respect I gave when I wrote to him about it.

It's appreciated.
I don't want anyone to kiss my ..., but when someone shows you the same level of respect you've given them.... especially over the internet. It means a-lot to me!

I found that video intriguing.

This question has an actual answer beyond individual opinion. The answer is not so far. If the answer was yes you would have been banned. That could change but only if you want it to. You strike me as intelligent enough to figure out how to walk the line without getting your self banned, if you desire to.

Mac said it about right THE...I personally think your a nice guy....

Honestly, it would only take a minute or two perusing the forum rules (located handily in the forum at the very top of the front page) to know why the thread was removed.

Yes, we're all adults here. But certain things are just inappropriate to be posting on the ECF. Vids, or links to vids with strong language or sexual themes are not going to fly. That vid had both. As was stated above, this forum is privately owned, and all of us have to abide by the rules, and that even includes forum staff.

I'm sorry if removing the thread upset you, but rules are rules. I've had to toss many vids in the trash can that I personally thought were hilarious (a certain Chris Rock vid springs to mind). It's just the way things are. Being familiar enough with the forum rules to know what is and is not acceptable can save everyone a bit of future frustration.

When I catch myself feeling "offended" by something someone says, I look at what piece of myself is getting hooked in with what they are saying. Mostly it has nothing to do with the person making the comments but rather "my stuff".

My take is that you are not too offensive for this board, just some of the people participating in it and that is about their stuff and not yours.

This, of course, leads me to ask you what led you to feel you might be too offensive for this board?

I got a warning for disguising a four-letter word as *l&7&"** (or something like that) and I wasn't offended because I was being nicely reminded of the rules of this forum.

I enjoy the free-flow of information and find humor in the flow of mis-information and innuendo here on ECF.

"O" is good!!! Really good!!!!!!!!!!! IMO
