APB: Cellarites missing. - Page 62

richlevy · 06-07-2009, 07:54 PM

I have had honest disagreements with peoples positions on many issues. I have also poked fun at some people, mostly in what I hope is understood to be humor. I really do try to keep from labeling people as 'psycho' or 'dumbass' or some other stereotype. In situations where there was a serious potential for a flame war, I have done everything except actually lie to defuse the situation, since I prefer 'no drama'. This has not always worked well.

In the end the Cellar is a reflection of real life. Trying to sort out if one side was being offensive or abusive or the other side was being thin skinned is usually futile and divisive. Sometimes people should just be allowed to argue between themselves without others piling on, even if it's in a public forum.

Well damn. This thread has been fairly enlightening and has caused me to go read a few other untouched threads. I didn't know all this was going on because when tiki showed up she just struck me as a bitter little drama queen so I never looked at another of her posts after her little youtube rant. It doesn't look like my initial scan was far off the mark.

Jim, you're a cock. and you look like Mr Incredible. I bet you even leave sweatdroplets on the gym equipment sometimes. What a jerk. Of course, you've got a gorgeous wife and beautiful kids so something tells me you must be an ok guy. Of course, I could probably have figured that out somewhere in the last 15,000 posts too. Oh well, in the end there is one really big reason you have to come back and play. That thing you do with your tongue. Absolutely.

Personally, I think some of us, in a way allowed a fookin drama queen, attention whore, psychobitch to cost us one of the most kind, well informed and rational posters. Oh and jim too.

Very happy to see you Jinx!

I didn't know all this was going on.

My head is either in the clouds or under a rock alternately.

I saw the video thread but never played it. I guess one wouldn't know another found it offensive if one didn't say. I assume non posting would speak for itself.

and/or perhaps my opinion wouldn't count for much but I am sorry things have led to hurt feelings among you friends.

Not that it matters much but for the record and I have said it before I think you guys ( the lumberjims )are the neatest family. I admire the family things you do very much.

Damn! I go off for a few days and have a life away from the computer, and look what happens!

So Tiki's gone. Huh. Can I just say, I saw it coming? Obviously she is a nutter, and I am amazed that y'all saw that video she did about revenge and still behaved like she was anything remotely near rational. Yes, I know it was an act (probably) but ew. There were some nuggets of beauty in her "laments" but --and I know how y'all love poetry, but I saw the whole thing as madly self-indulgent.

Sky -- the video was about revenge toward her ex. I didn't watch it all, but what I did see was really crazy and gross.

I figured you'd known her before, that she wasn't a new member, otherwise I couldn't figure out why she'd just cracked open and laid a thick, smothering blanket of her own emotional drama all over the place - and been encouraged to continue. Rubberneckers! Admit it, you just wanted to watch the train wreck!

I also figured my own repugnance was a kind of weird female jealousy, or would be perceived that way, and I'm still pretty new here too, so I'd better just keep my mouth shut, figuratively speaking.

Maybe next time, I won't.

Let's all chip in and buy lumberjim a training bra for his tender, budding girl-bosoms.

seriously. they're all puffy and new.....

youze guise are acting like i had a tantrum and huffed off.

It wasn't a cry for help, or attention. I just took a couple steps back, and answered honestly how i felt when questioned about it. Not blaming anyone in particular for not defending me...i only groused at UT because it seemed like he had taken tiki's side. he justified that stance in a PM to me.

it's not a huge big deal...

can we all shut the fuck up about it now?

Sure, why not? If you can't do anything about it, then it's just entertainment. Reading Tiki's posts was like watching an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.

Not at all, that new/old bullshit is, well, just bullshit. Democracy in action, baby, any member is entitled to their

Jaguar has been around, but that name is dead to him. He didn't want the posts of his youth connected to him as an adult.
