So, if I start a thread and someone sees fit to "hijack" it just because it's one I started and I get peeved about it, that's not OK? Put the shoe on the other foot for a minute. Someone starts a thread, I stay on subject but offering a differing viewpoint but it ruffles feathers because I don't agree with anyone else. I guess I'm the only one that sees the double standard there.Tiki Bar wrote:Your immaturity adds to the problems and compounds them too.

Not always. Some posters I've simply learned not to respond to. So, if they continue to provoke without me responding I'm the one that's at fault for that too? Why not just stop the childish provoking altogether or would that make too much sense?CaptainP wrote:They provoke you because they have learned that it works.Jahfin wrote: When their immaturity adds to the problem by serving only to provoke others it doesn't help matters any, it only helps to further compound the situation.

'Cause Jah it's fun...at least to some people. And then we would have an issue about what is childish and what is not. And that would basically eliminate 90% of all of the posts and threads at BN. A lot of people, I am assuming, are here because they want to be silly and childish. Yes it gets out of control at times, but I truly, truly, truly, truly believe way deep down in my heart that the people here are not really trying to be malicious toward you and they are funning with you in a good spirited way.Jahfin wrote: Why not just stop the childish provoking altogether or would that make too much sense?
Take that or leave it...but I've started you a new DBT thread thath *hopefully* won't get hijacked.

Geez, had I known there was a blonde babe in the group, I might have bought more albums.

It's all OK - you can't control emotion, but you can try to control how you express it.
I had my foot in your shoe earlier today, but hijackings don't bother me. Not saying they shouldn't bother you... they just don't bother me.
Your pic confirms I have seen them somewhere.
HEY! The announcer just said "the latest from the Drive By Truckers"! Not sure if it's the song that just played, or is playing now! "We ain't never gonna change" - sound familiar? More irony in the lyric!
But, I gotsta go home and prepare for the show tonight! Are you going?

If only that were true but unfortunately it's not. The comebacks I recieve are not always humorous, nor are they intended to be. They're meant to upset me.

I have tried to be nice and I have tried to understand, shheeeeit, I have even tried to take your side (remember PH4ever saying "your friend" like it was a dirty word?).

Y-No I really wish that you would leave me out of your discussions. I have been making an honest attempt to get along with Jahfin and everyone else here. I am asking you please if you have something to say about me in a negative light instead of posting it bring it to me in a pm. I really don't need you to try to provoke me into being angry so please refrain ok??
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

Y-No I have been sick for 3 weeks. I spent the majority of the day at the doctors because of major pain I'm having. I am again asking you to please quit your scarcism and being the way you have towards me.Y-NO-9-O wrote:Yes, I believe you are right, you really don't need me to try to provoke you into being angry.ph4ever wrote: Y-No I really wish that you would leave me out of your discussions.

My references really aren't for my perception of you in the last 3 weeks, but, in all seriousness, I am truly sorry you are in pain. I will spare you my barbs. I didn't know. I apologize and you are in my prayers.ph4ever wrote: Y-No I have been sick for 3 weeks. I spent the majority of the day at the doctors because of major pain I'm having.

But I was referring to you. Please, lighten up or find a John Tesh post where everything is peaches and cream. People here are sarcastic. Come on, do you think nycparrothead wants to hump everyone?

Do you think IsleReef wants to shoot anything that moves? OK, another bad example...
um, do you think I am mean, nasty and rude? wooohooo, we have a winner! I have been told that, but I still come back. WHY? Because I like it here. I feel at home.
I wanna be humped!!! And/or shot!!
