1. Wow - I dips my lid you ya, mate |
|
That thread was pure industrial-strength pus, but your exchange with one of the hotheads was just like watching someone turn a spewing lion into a purring kitten.
You used facts - PROVABLE facts - and reasoned argument without resorting to name-calling. Which is as it should be.
Well done !!!!:thumbsup:

3. I tried to ask a question about that issue yesterday |
|
For the most part it went ok, but of course there were a few who have so much rage they didn't read my question and proceeded to blast me with some sort of... whatever the hell it was..lol.

after reading this, I went over to read there to see how you handled things, cuz I'm always amazed that you keep a clear head and stay cool. I don't know what was more amazing at that thread- that anyone could try to twist your intentions or that you could not let them get to you. I've just got to say, You've got my respect.

I really appreciate that cosmicbandita. Sometimes I feel myself about ready to blow, but I keep in mind that maybe a person is having a bad day or that something might be seriously wrong in their life.
I am really flattered that you wrote this here. Thank you again. :)

4. Way to go Starbucks! I have avoided that issue entirely. |
|
Actually, in light of last night in the Lounge, I'm avoiding all issues entirely. I'm just a place keeper right now. :(

7. I started a thread that unintentionally turned into a flamewar. |
|
And had some pretty nasty assumptions made about my character based upon one predilection. You know..the usual.
I sent you a note.
