Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Every-time I come on this board it seems like I'm watching grumpier old men. That movie was in the 90s,keep it there. I'm over it. Stop being jerks and fighting behind a computer screen. It's not cool to belittle people no matter if you're face to face or behind a screen. Please, grow up, <snip> Seriously... This IS a help board, not a belittling board. If you want a rant board make one. If you're just an asshole, go get laid. Leave your drama and attitudes at home! Your attitudes don't do a thing for my vagina!!! Edited October 9, 2014 by Kaduk restricted reference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 9, 2014 I think she has a very good point. I've been here (off and on) for YEARS now. Sometimes it does seem that a lot of ranters and haters post here....and/or hijack threads. Granted, sometimes, you have intelligent discussion, but it seems that too many other times....well, I look at this way: At the risk of insulting everyone's intelligence, this IS the Internet. Pretty much everyone on here is posting under a screen name, and while some of us may know others in their "real lives" off the Board, I'm guessing that the vast majority of us will never meet in person, aside from the obvious ASP-Hobbyist Connection. What that means in terms of posting is that (almost) anyone here is able to post whatever they want, and I think a number of posters have the attitude, that "Well, if people don't like what I'm writing/posting, that THEIR problem!" And really...what is anyone going to do about that? Respond in kind? That does not exactly elevate the quality of discussion around here. And yes, I do think it's possible to have "quality discussion" on an ASP-Hobbyist Board. FWIW...... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talk about negative. I agree the internet has spawned a legion of cowards, but I don't see outright insults on this board -- I guess they are prohibited. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2014 ... This IS a help board, not a belittling board. If you want a rant board make one. If you're just an asshole, go get laid. Leave your drama and attitudes at home! Your attitudes don't do a thing for my vagina!!! I think it was Oxy in one of her posts that said she (and other mods) have to read every thread, but we (the community) have the option of not having to read everyone. While I agree in theory what you are saying, I haven't (or choose) not to read negative ones. Once the threads start going down a path I don't care to read or comment on, I'm onto the next one. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 9, 2014 The block feature works well for me. When I get sick of hearing the same clap trap from someone, I add them to the blocked list. That feature makes the board more enjoyable for reading. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 9, 2014 The anonymity of a keyboard creates paper tigers. Civility is becoming a lost art. We are all sojourners on a common quest. Mutual respect and compassion will guide us. None among us has all the answers...and fewer still, know all the questions. Embrace life, live in the moment and rejoice. I only wish I could live by that...but it is my goal. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 10, 2014 Sorry to burst your bubble, HQ, but if you think recent threads on this board are negative you must live a Pollyanna life. In years past there were some REAL flame wars, with participants calling each other out, name calling that would make a sailor blush, and more, not to mention the bickering fights between local boards. Current events won't even toast S`mores 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I for one would love to see more positivity and helpful posts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your attitudes don't do a thing for my vagina!!! First of all I apologies to your vagina. See Harley us men have a way we talk to each other. We like to bust each other balls. Its just the way things have been since the caveman days. Sometimes we can cross the line. It's pretty fun. I can't 100% say I won't bust someone balls if the perfect time presents it self but I can try stop being so damn negative. I never thought one person could post something like this a expect change but you done it. Your god damn hero. Thanks and god bless. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 10, 2014 Uh oh, you caught me! I rarely post or advertise as is, I just had to jump on here to do it! I've been outed, shucks. I see a pattern: Ok, before I rant, thank you to those that do their homework or pay attention in your sessions. It is starting to drive me up the wall when potential clients: Ask what my donations are; LOOK. Ask weird ass questions; again, LOOK on my website for what I offer. Ask me personal questions and want to talk for 30 minutes on the phone; those that have seen me, know I never rush during sessions, but I have 3 jobs, talking to you on the phone without a session booked is sometimes VERY time consuming in my busy days. Clients I've seen: For god sake, if you're thinking about writing a review, try to remember who you're writing about... Pay Attention. Or else your review to me, isn't valid and I cant use it to better my time with you next time or see what you enjoyed when I'm not even sure it's me you're speaking of. Agha, now that its out of my system, I'm hoping this helps those confused about how some ladies feel about this. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2014 If you want to read something positive, read the review board. The "fantastics" outnumber the "not goods" and "rip offs" by about 20-1. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2014 Sociopath .... a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.

Posted October 10, 2014 (( Four percent of the global population is made up of sociopaths, Dr. Martha Stout, psychologist and clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, tells us in her book The Sociopath Next Door.)) Math is hard: this thread has about 27 posts, and 4 percent of 27 is a little over 1. That proves that one of the posts in this thread was written by a sociopath! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Besides, what does sociopathy have to do with negativity on the board? ^^ This. ^^ Harpo, you are making a pretty big, and wrong, leap if you think being an asshole on a chat board = being a sociopath. That's like saying someone who likes pornography also likes [snip}. I happen to have a family member who is a sociopath. It is a whole lot bigger than ranting on a chat board.
