Very well said...I observed that, too [:)] It also amuses me when they get annoyed about angry people but express a heck of a lot of hatred/anger themselves [:)] Funny to watch at times [:)] And nope...it doesn't bother me....it to bother me the person has to be important to me...and online relations on a board like this...just don't go far enough...the ones I like I don't get pissy at on the board...if I have to say something to them I do that on the other side...the ones I do go pissy at... I really don't care [:)]

Same here. And some posts definitely did cause regret. I try now to be strict about not posting if I'm emotionally aroused. Of course, I don't always succeed at that. I was touched once to read (from a poster I didn't know) something along the lines of, "DC's being sarcastic. Is this a sign of the apocalypse?"

Nice thread Butch. Basically you are asking if one has ever posted in anger,regretted the tone of any post,perhaps offended another poster,hmmmm...... let me think about this. See if I can remember ever doing any of the above [8\|] I'll get back to you.....[:)]

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub quote: I understand that. For me though, my "Cheers" bar would be with real life faces of people I know in real life I've been thinking on what you said...for me it is different. There are things I will talk about here on CM that I would not be able to with my friends. Not just the subject of lifestyle but many subjects they just would not be interested in. I must admit i often bare my soul here... I write some of my deepest beliefs for others to read that would not necessarily present themselves in a normal friends only conversation. Our interests here are so varied and I do like to read how others feel about what is important to me. I find kindred spirits here and do feel a connection. I like people here even those I most often disagree with. Of course I realize the feelings are most likely not reciprocal but that is not important to me…I guess it is just how I feel and the pleasure it gives me. Butch i think that's the difference for me. I have an older brother. We are argue about everything. We have debates, we have strong opinions and views, we have down and out fights....but at the end of the day we just shake our heads at each other, call each other the spawn of satan, laugh and have a drink together on the porch. We talk about everything and anything. I do the same thing with my sisters and with my dad when he was alive. I also do the same thing with my best friend. I've never had any reason to hide anything. There was never anything I couldn't talk about with any of them. So for me, I never saw this as some kind of refuge for discussions.

No, my conscience has never bothered me because of any particular post I've made. Looking across the grand landscape of the CM forums even the most caustic thing I have ever posted is mild from a relative standpoint.

I've been coming here for a few years now. (don't remember when I joined and don't care enough to look) I can't remember ever getting angry, or annoyed enough to think much about it beyond closing the www.collarchat.com window. Anything that has annoyed me, I make an effort to walk away from.....see the bit about closing the .com window. I use this site for various reasons. Primarily, entertainment value. Something to pass the time when I am procrastinating on other shit, half ass watching a movie I've seen more than a few times (right now). Or, when I am at work and things are dead ass slow (most any time you see me here Monday - Friday 8-5). It's something I can start and stop, at a moment's notice. It doesn't require much brain power and it CAN be a decent way to pass the time. On occasion, I've run across a thread that has offered some good brain gymnastics. Something to think about and process while AWAY from the computer. While driving or doing something that requires little brain effort (most of my work). To say this site has had no impact on me and my life would be a lie. There have been too many superiour posters, over the time I've been here, to honestly write that. Unfortunately I've found less and less of the worthwhile in the last year or so. Whether that's on me, the site, or the piss poor quality of posters here now....I am unsure. I just know that, more and more often, I do a quick read through of threads, find nothing worth anything, and never bother to even log in. Let alone post anything. Whatever the discussion I've participated in, fun or thoughtful, I don't remember one that I've typed something I've regretted. Certainly I am 100% sure I've written things that have been taken differently than I intended, but regrets, no. I don't expect that my point of view is shared, or even should be, by all. Hell, when I began posting here, I am 100% sure there were points of view I held, that have changed or evolved, based on the views of others, a nudge for me, to climb outside my box. I LIKE having my views challenged, giving me a reason to look at others' and understand them better. Usually, my personal shit stays the same but, understanding how others think, even if it's not right for me, is only ever a good thing. But no, no regrets. If I've apologized it was because I felt it was due. I don't remember doing so, but it doesn't phase me to admit when I've fucked up. I am human. Fucking up is part of the human condition. I do NOT apologize just to appease the butthurt of morons. I own my own shit but someone's butthurt due to their own issues.....not my problem.

Good thread, butch. I think I've apologized once, maaaaaybe twice here, long time ago.. I think I misunderstood a post, and flamed the person. But my overall niceness usually keeps that from happening.

There have been a few times that, an hour or so after a reply I think to myself, "ya could have worded that a little nicer." But only a few. I'm thick skinned about most things except matters of character. If someone accuses me of some sort of nasty character flaw such as being racist or accepting blood money (ya someone actually accused me of that) or not caring if babies die (ya, I got accused of that too), then I can become extremely thin skinned and combative. One character flaw I will admit to: I can hold on to a grudge a long, long, looooooooooooooooooooong, time! In fact, I can hold on to a grudge so long that I'll forget what the grudge is about... all I remember is that I don't like that particular poster for some reason. Sidebar: There is currently only one poster (that I can think of) who is on my "I have a grudge against you but I can't remember why" list and that is JeffBC. So Jeffy, if you know why, please let me know. At least I'll be able to dislike you in good conscience. Lastly, I agree with Marini that some of the nastiest posters are also some of the most thin skinned. Marc - it's not personal, it's strictly business - 2b.

Marc I've found myself getting too jaded at times...Looking at things negatively and always thinking the worse of people. So I decided to try something new and it enriched me. I decided to take some people that I had constantly been at odds with and purposely tried to find something we agreed on or a common interest. I started talking as I would to a friend and I'll be darned if now some of these people are what i would call online friends. Sure we still argue and now and then get sarcastic with each other but I now understand them better and have fun with them. Before I looked at them in a completely different light...much better now. It is amazing how easy it is to misjudge someone when online and be completely wrong about their character. But i must admit there are posters like thompsonx that are beyond redemption in my opinion but i still respect their right to post. Butch

quote: I've run across a thread that has offered some good brain gymnastics I remember one thread we had where we went back and forth playing with Photoshop to change a graphic just for fun...and to me it was that...fun. I am just one of those people that does not believe the site has gotten less interesting but just that we old timers, so to speak, have seen it all before and there is often little new under the sun. This is why I like the off topic and P&R forums because there is most always something new happening in the world…even if the takes by posters are pretty predicable... Now and then though something grabs my interest. Butch

No Level I'm trying to remember but can't think of a time I've seen you post out of anger. Butch The bit I bolded jumps out at me. I honestly believe that it is a case of perception. Usually, wrong perception. I rarely see posts that I feel are created in anger. Probably because I almost never (only because there might be a case where I did and don't remember) post in anger. In fact, the times I've been accused of it, I was usually quite the opposite. It's a human fault we all have, that usually works against us. Projecting our personal intent onto that of the people who's posts, writings, we are reading.
