Steel,

You and Andi have my sincerest condolences in the passing of your loved one.


By the way, you're not a dick.  It's the asshats that migrate here for the summer months.

Hugs,
Pure

I am slowly becoming a Jane.

We need someone to become a Spot (wonder if pig-nose had her surgery yet)

Steel, you're not becoming a dick, you have shown remarkable restraint. Some of the recent threads are so ridiculous that I can't even post on them and won't read them. Much better all around that way, saves my bacon from XI or XVI, saves the idiot/asshole/dumbass (not you, holly, the OTHER dumbasses) from being the target of some what would be very harsh words and saves everyone elses time so they don't need to be bothered reading me going off on the idiot poster.

Steel, our thoughts and sympathy are with you and andi, you have Lumus and my regards at this difficult time.

DesFIP -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 6:40:30 AM)

Condolences to andi. Pity you can't go with her.

But it's not you. I just called, in the very nicest way of course, the twit who said all women are naturally inferior, a fat ass. Forgot to mention that her head is too.



LadyPact -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 7:04:20 AM)

Hi Steel.  My regards to andi, as always.  I am terribly sorry to hear of the loss in the family.

No, I don't think you're becoming more of a dick.  Take that from someone who knows she's been a dick a number of times.  Quite frankly, some people deserve a little dickdom.  When people want to show their ignorance and general lack of intelligence, it's hard to resist.  Certain posters here (not many, but some) I have absolutely no patience for.  There's even one that I wish the Mods would wipe off of the boards permanently, rather than just have him moderated.

I've seen your responses on a couple of threads this morning that are probably what have you questioning yourself.  Don't.  There's nothing wrong with letting your position be known when folks want to log on and insult a whole category of people or someone comes along with a question that is as simple as what's right in front of them.  I don't know what percentage of My posts would come up as telling someone they had no right to be disrespectful or to say quit being an idiot.  I'm almost afraid to ask.

One of the things that I happen to like about you is you're not intentionally blowing smoke up anyone's ass.  If that makes you a dick, we'll be dicks on the forums together.


(Oh, and Des, I saw that and I thought it was funny as hell.)



SavageFaerie -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 7:09:19 AM)

Steel,

You are one of the people on her I have a deep respect for. You never justspit out crap, your post are well thought out and well written and usually on my side I tend to agree which saves me the trouble of posting.

While I try to stay away from most snarky comments, for the most part I type it out and delete it, but sometimes I just cant resist.

When you post it your opinion and your right to it.  If others dont agree phuck em. Ignore those and keep to your opinoins and values.

And like was said before..throw a movie in.  poen got Gypsy Rose Lee on netflix and I LOVE that movie.

If you want to watch something you dont have cm me, I can fix ya up.

Lots of prayers to andi and her family and to yourself since any death close to you effects everyone around.

If you need to vent, I am a great ventilator, I would be more than happy to listen.



manxcat -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 8:38:20 AM)

Condolences to you and andi.

I ditto the sentiments of all the other posters.  What a novelty to be able to say all, and shows what a really special person you truly are.  Not a dick at all. 

(does pig girl have spots?)

Okay, Lots of the Posts lately are literally hurting my head. People asking questions that any basic real look at the concept could answer.

I find that my Replies are getting less and less understanding and more and more .... Dickish.

I am sure there are some people who always thought I was a dick, I already got the hate mail that isn't really what this thread is about.

Anyone else literally SCREAM at the screen at some of the retarded questions that get asked over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over?

I ask because I am starting to worry about my own Mental Health if this is natural or if I should get a mental check up to make sure I am not slowly becoming a sociopath.

All advice welcome... even from those I know don't care for me.

Steel


There have been a rash of really moronic threads and new posters. My patience for bullshit and stupidity has never been terribly strong. I just find some other way to spend my time. Fortunately my creative juices have been flowing like a runaway river so it's all good.



SteelofUtah -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 8:55:16 AM)

You all have made andi cry.

She says thank you all for your care and thinks it is funny that it was this kind of thread that it came out on.

I am a weird person when it comes to death, I fid it difficult to relate to much of the emotion and so I am happy that andi is getting the heartfelt responces that I feel she could use that I am unable to produce for they would be empty and fake.

As for me feeling like I am becoming a Dick, well I try to be really understanding and I try to offer advice or my take on things in a way that someone might be able to get some mileage out of but lately I find that I just see these silly threads and I wonder.... Did personal responsibility die at some point and now we figure everything has a set concept of existance?

I get annoyed with people not knowing what a search function is, I get irritated when someone asks a question not to get insight but to see how many people agree with them and then when they find out they are in the minority try to defend their stance on the subject by saying everyone else is wrong because they are right.

I don't get it, I had a pretty strange upbringing into this lifestyle but I still managed to understand that if I was going to be a part of this I was going to have to make my own play book. Sure I could learn from others how they did things but in the end I had to carve my own path.

My Patience for those who are new is starting to fade into obscurity and I find that sad because I know that someone somewhere really does need some guidance and I am concerned that when and if they come I won't have the patience for it and send them packing no better for the wear.

I thank all the truely sweet comments that have been made and I am surprized to see how people see the oft longwinded babble I put on these boards and I thank you for the kind words.

I learn so much from the people of have posted to these boards it is nice to know some of you get something out of what I say.

I will try to work on my patience and my Dickishness,

As to the person who asked WHY I post to a thread that annoys me...... simple answer..... for the same reason some people watch Reality Television..... It's a form of Crack that addicts me. So in that I am responsible for my own mental torment.... Touch'e

Steel

Hey there Steel,
If you feel like you are becoming a dick (whether quickly or slowly), then you are changing in a way you don't like.  The innards are off kilter.  Doesn't really matter what we all think.  What matters is that you are feeling off kilter. 


Yeah. I don't see you as becoming a dick at all, and from the posts of yours I've read over the last few days, I'm uncertain why you would think you are. But you know yourself better than any of us, and if there's even some small part of you that feels as though it's deviating - ever so slightly - from the course you think you should be on, then you're probably going to sense that long before it becomes apparent to any of us. Maybe you do need to just take a break and re-connect with yourself. I follow the same process a couple-three times a year - self-check, reset, self-check, reset. Log off and go rollerblading or camping, come back in a week and feel like my old self again. It's easy to get sucked into a different persona online.

Sorry to hear about the loss in your family, but I suggest that might partially explain what's happening with you at the moment. When someone close to us dies, and people we love are hurting over it, we tend to connect more deeply with our compassionate side than we otherwise might. We often become more attuned to the feelings of others, more sympathetic, and sometimes that manifests as a heightened sensitivity to the way we are treating other people. So it could be that you're not really becoming a dick after all; you're just more acutely aware of how some of the things you say might be construed as dickishness. Think that could be part of it?



SassySarijane -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 9:14:39 AM)

First, my condolences to andi on her loss. I am so sorry.

I really haven't seen dickishness in your posts, Steel. Blunt- yes, non sugar coated- yes, nastiness- no. I have always found your posts to be well thought out and informative and strongly making your point and view on the topic presented.



dcnovice -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 9:34:54 AM)

<fast reply>

Warmest sympathies to andi on her loss--and to you as well.

One point on which I might counsel all of us veteran posters to be patient is the search function. The link is pretty discreet, nestled among other beige links and lacking the box that usually serves as the visual cue that one can search. I was on CM for ages before discovering it. Also, searches don't always yield the most helpful results. I've searched for threads I know I exist--because I started them--and not found them. So newbies' failure to search may owe as much to the site as to cluelessness.

Thanks Lady P. I've decided there's quite an art in being rude to someone without getting modspanked. One well worth cultivating.



califsue -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 11:22:01 AM)

Steel--My condolences to andi on her loss. I am sorry to hear.
 
As others, I don't think you are becoming a dick in your replies. I believe your replies are always honest and thoughtful but to the point.
 
As far as the search function, it is hard to find and I do use it but sometimes I don't find anything or find an overabundance on one word
but not really useful information.
 
As well, if one does use the search function and then brings up and old thread the newest poster gets flamed and yet when they post a question that
has been asked a 1000 or more times they get flamed so it is the old adage between a rock and hard spot as far as newbies and the questions they ask.
 
As far as your comment about personal responsibilty...that applies globally in my opinion. I see it at work, day to day news story...not just those who post to the boards here.
 
 



girlygurl -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 12:39:54 PM)

Steel,

Sending you and Andi warm thoughts and hugs during this difficult time.


I haven't noticed you being a "dick" and btw.... I LOVE that you used the word "dickish" [:D]
I have noticed several stupid threads popping up ie. curvy, and pig nose.






simpleplan2 -> RE: I believe I am Slowly becoming a Dick! (6/19/2009 12:41:59 PM)

Nah, your advice is ALWAYS spot on...even when it's a bit testy.  I love reading your posts.  Tell andi she has my sympathy.
