How many of you have seen Journey with Arnel?

[annie89509]

Aw, shucks … apologies to all for my meltdown in this thread.

apologies?? are you serious?? you had so Odd things said to you.. by odd people..

Have to agree Annie. You should never, ever apologize on this Board. It is a sign of weakness. I just reverse everything around and drop a mighty fuck you on whomever and everything magically gets better. Try it sometime. Just come out and scream somebody down, "Fuck You." It is relieving.

Deano, Deano, you of all people know we have to be true to ourselves. In my mind, pragmaticism and humility are signs of good character . I will not sink to Gideon's level ... still waiting for that apology from the kid ...

[annie89509]

How do you breathe with Steve Perry's anus closed so tightly around your neck?

That'll do thanks very much.

That is actually a very insightful and funny line. I was actually thinking deeply about how Perry's butthole would fit around Walslikealadies head. I spit out my Coke.

I was trying to emulate you, actually. "What would Deano say if he were a snide British man?"

@ Larry, I don't think any of you are 8th grade rejects, nor do I have a particular problem with Annie or consider her stupid. But I've felt she's essentially stalked my posts from day one, and rather than discuss the issues she frequently disagrees with me on, she provides commentary about how mean and arrogant I am, and vanishes.

Not exactly productive. Oh well. I don't hate her or even dislike her.

What you don't understand is I have a husband and 3 boys and a household to manage. And, up to 4 months ago, a business to run. I come here frequently, but sporadically, don't have time to haggle over issues. When I first started posting on this board, I did have a lot to say. Now ... not so much.

Perhaps it is a personality problem with you and me. I certainly don't make it a point to "stalk" you. You make a comment, I make a comment. Yes, most of the time, it contradicts. You want to get into a debate ... I just don't have the time or inclination to argue. Anyone that knows me ....

If you recall, when you came back on this board, JfromB (who now seemed to have given up posting here) kept hammering away at you. I was the one that spoke up & said he should cut you some slack.

Still waiting for that apology ...

Nobody apologizes on the internet do they? Even if Gideon did apologize, It wouldn't mean anything would it?
Typing I'm sorry is totally different from actually saying I'm sorry and really meaning it.

Gunbot, I have seen posts where SJ has apologize and Deano has apologize to fellow posters. I'm not holding my breath ... just trying to teach the kid some manners.

[annie89509]

No, I take that back about "teaching", thank god he's no kid of mine

[Rockindeano]

Do it Annie. A Big FU. Trust me, you'll feel better and don't worry, Andrew won't do anything. He's a pussy.

[annie89509]

Okay, where's that Gideon? He says I always run off and hide. Well, the kids are in school, hubby at work, household chores in control. I'm setting aside 3 whole hours of sitting here with MR page on this pc. I think Gideon and I should just get it out of our system, and move on.

Here are my ground rules:
-- no crude attacks (not my style)
-- no dissecting and picking out only certain sentences. If you're going to debate, take my entire post.
-- no comparisons about tone, pitch, timbre, vibrato, etc. I already mentioned here many times I'm no student of music. I rely on my ears when it comes to what I like or dislike.

Gideon, if you're out there now, I am not going anywhere. Let's rumble.

Sh*t, this is way off-topic from the title of this thread .

[portland]

Best of luck to you two - may the games begin

[annie89509]

haha, Portland, it's all in fun. The kid must be off somewhere; otherwise, he would have run in here. Not like him to give up on a chance to "debate."

[Gideon]

What are we debating?

Edit: As for the apology, where is it warranted? Perhaps we could start there.

Ah, here he is. You made a crude, sexual remark directed at me a few pages up -- totally uncalled for. I took offense and huffed off but, after reading all the commotion that came after my post, have since apologized to all for messing up people's evening. Now, it is your turn to man up and show contrite.

"Man up." lol.

You didn't mess up anyone's evening, and if you did, that's pretty said on their part, not yours. I didn't make a nasty sexual remark at all; I made a nasty anatomical remark, suggesting that you were kissing Perry's ass.

[portland]

I believe the word is sad

[Gideon]

I believe the word is sad

What word? Were we looking for one?

[annie89509]

Oh, you are the one that is always itching for debate. What's the matter, had a hard day at school? Wait, maybe your debating skills have to be pre-meditated? Seems a week ago, you and Aaron got into a disagreement, and you said you wanted to debate, but made some excuse about coming back the next day. Nothing happened.

Ooh, the claws come out, don't they? Careful, Annie, you may lose that maternal image of patience.

I'm here with you, discussing. What's the problem?

just correcting a typo said I believe was meant to be sad

[Gideon]

Oh, thank you. I didn't know what the hell you were talking about at first.

Anyways, Annie, if the remark truly upset you, then I apologize. My goal was to convey frustration: I do get the impression that you stalk my posts. You comment on them and it's never merely a friendly disagreement. That I can understand. But to criticise them and shrink away without explaining why or discussing the issue with me? That's simply inane, and I'm justified in demanding more.

If you don't want to debate the issue, that's fine. But you shouldn't expect me to have to listen to your criticisms unless you're willing to explain them further.

Very simple and very fair. Also non-negotiable.

[annie89509]

See, there's the "stalking" comment again (which is another insult). Please think of how frequently you post here, and me as well. Of course, I have made comments about your posting style (as have many other posters). You and I had an early exchange, we moved on. I stuck up for you once with another poster (not that you ever needed my help). I don't even recall we really have that many disagreements for you to flippantly throw that sexual innuendo at me. Some people can just laugh it off. When 2 posters are bantering back and forth, that's fine. I don't do it to others, so I take it personally when you did it to me.

I get along with everyone here. Nobody cares about our brouhaha, so let's move on.

[Gideon]

Not an insult, merely an observation. "I do get the impression you stalk my posts."

Not sure what you mean here.

Of course, I have made comments about your posting style (as have many other posters).

Bingo. And you seem to be under the impression that you can criticise me, but not the reverse. I don't ask for you to stop giving your opinion; you just need to accept the fact that comments and criticisms tend to be returned around here. If that's a problem, then don't comment at all.

You and I had an early exchange, we moved on.

Clearly not.

I stuck up for you once with another poster (not that you ever needed my help).

Your point?

I don't even recall we really have that many disagreements for you to flippantly throw that sexual innuendo at me.

It wasn't a sexual innuendo; it was a creative way of telling you that I think you kiss Steve Perry's ass. A criticism. If you have problems with that, then you don't need to criticise me. Understand?

Some people can just laugh it off. When 2 posters are bantering back and forth, that's fine. I don't do it to others, so I take it personally when you did it to me.

I take it (relatively) personal when someone criticises my "posting style," "tone," and "arguments" without the courtesy of a discussion. Once again, if you don't want me to criticise you, I'd strongly suggest keeping your comments to yourself.

I get along with everyone here. Nobody cares about our brouhaha, so let's move on.

We can move on, but there's only one way that's going to happen.

[BeautifulJbaby]

i was just being sarcastic to ya.. i must say .. you are the fasted typist ive ever seen ..

Dudes who type fast are quite gay. Look at Andrew; he is slower than a snail on Quaaludes and even being that slow, still misspells words every 6th one! Seriously, dudes should change motor oil, drink beer and fuck chicks, not type fast and speed read the Bible.

Telling a guy he is the fastest typist you've ever seen IMHO is not a compliment. That's akin to telling any American they are good in soccer. We don't want to be good in soccer. Soccer is gay and sucks.

LMAO!!! So true!

[Rockindeano]

Bingo. And you seem to be under the impression that you can criticise me,

Hey there Cum Laud Boy- Criticise? Are you a Euro? Spell the word correctly dipshit.

[yulog]

If Deano were to apologize it would go something like this

[Escape Artist]

Perry - yes once
Augeri - yes 2 times
Soto - no
Arnel - yes 1 time and I will again, hopefully Red Rocks this year!
