I saw today's exchange, and I could tell she was still harbouring some resentment from an earlier exhange to which I am not privy (and no, I'm not that interested in the search function ;)) and I could tell from your response to her "Does that answer your question" that you got the answer. But it was a simple "yes or no" question and for the life of me I could not figure out whether she meant yes or no. Her animosity was obvious, but she also presented herself as sticking by her sense of responsibility and fairness...

I just figured there was too much unspoken subtext for a simpleton like me to figure out without having been there for the whole show...


EDIT: Well, I at least saw the exchange that took place at or before about 7:30 EST. Haven't been over there since, so I don't know that something else hasn't gone on that I missed. I do miss a lot...
In a nutshell -- I whined about a contest, said it was poorly run too many times, and my grave was dug!:( Who among us have made an opinion of someone and never changed it? Human nature is what it is.....I poked her because she ignored my PMs and posts, I got too brave maybe, turns out she was paying attention after all.....:facepalm: Now there is not a damned thing I can do to rectify this situation and that sucks to admit........



VF is dead, its so sad.......its nothing like it was, it was such a funny hangout......

I'd do it except for the not being able to do the contests thing -- I'd do it after I won (like that'll happen, damn hypothetical situations!!!:laugh:), though, this place needs some hippie justice around here -- I would have made me and strprswpr hug it out!!!!:lol::lol::lol: I think I'd be a good mod......:)

If you can't win 'em, become one!


Hmmm...that sounded better in my head...

Yep, that sucks when it happens. You survive long enough, it's bound to happen once or twice--but with the intarwebz expanding the "sphere of personal interaction" available, it happens much more often than it should. The more people with whom you interact, the more you will offend or be offended--and the easier it is to never have to bother with re-evaluating your opinion of someone since you can just "ignore and move on..."



Dammit. Now you made me get out my headphones since I'm at work and can't turn up the speakers. That was the end of an era of awesome music--even the Bee Gees were good in '72 :lol:

Same thing happened to newsgroups when Netscape made it possible for the inter-net to be something more than gopher, ftp and *get...

Did you know I'm a greedy hippie to some GG fanboys? Some do -- but I like to think of myself as 'opportunistic'!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Adapt or die. That is the nature of any organism. You call yourself a hippie because of your values, but you don't fit their derogatorily stereotypical view of what someone has to do to "qualify" as a hippie. Mainly, though, it's because you can get a price they can't afford and it pisses them off.

Reminds me of a song, but I've already gotten in trouble for stuff I've posted before...

:blush:

You know, I hate being called that fwiw -- I have given away thousands of dollars worth of equipment and juice but try to get a couple bucks out of GG fanboys and you'd think I'd shot the NaziPope!!!:laugh:

The things that get posted while I'm trying to decide what I can get away with posting...

Screw em John. This is still America a free market society. Guess what if you think it's too much you don't have to buy it. I'm not the cheapest guy in my area - matter of fact I'm the most expensive - yet I have customers dealing with me for over 20 years. Mainly because I stand behind what I sell and I do it right.
You get what the market can bear. It's a fair price.
There's a difference between being a hippie and being stupid.
Just my 2 cents.

What's a Whippersnapper?

:facepalm:

...are you talking about sex again?

Yes.

I am always talking about sex. Even when I am not talking about sex, I am talking about sex.

And when I am really not talking about sex, I am thinking about talking about sex.
