What does "Nolo Contendre" Mean?

[Angel]

The purpose of the thread was totally dependent on it being on a public message board! I think you get it, right? If not, feel free to move on....

Exactly...passive agressive. You wish to take a jab at an individual or a small group of people but initially try to disguise it as an innocent question to gain support before you go in for the kill....passive agressive.

LOL, sorry, that's not the way I see it!

See, to someone ignorant to the situation, like yourself, it may have appeared that way. Frankly, I could care less what you may think it means, because it wasn't intended for you. What it was, was a giant "Don't Fuck With Me" flag, that had nothing "passive" about it.

So since you don't know what you are talking about, it would probably SEEM passive aggressive to you. But in actuality it was very much. Not.

But you must be a perfect creature, and I defer to your unsolicited judgement of me! Ah yes, you are...an Angel.

Apparently Angel knows exactly what passive aggressive means, she's been doing on these forums for a long time.

WTF????


And, Jeremey, you're right, I am ignorant to the situation....and I like it that way. I just find it interesting that you start a thread to send a "message" or a "warning" rather to a few people-and you even admit it is only intended for a few-but become offended when I ask you what the point of that is. There is a PM feature that works nicely for such things...

Come on now. If we were to use the PM for all the personal messages, f-bombs, etc, this place would be nothing but BackTalk !

Good point...but really, how many threads do we need dedicated to an argument between two people????

But you knew what P/A meant, and yet you still asked me in this forum....isn't that a little...I don't know....Passive Aggressive? You could have just sent me a PM.

Ah well. You should know you didn't offend me either. You tricked me into answering your question and then you jumped me. That was a little hypocritical of you. You could have silently passed judgement on me, or better yet just sent me a PM.

True...or maybe I could just start another thread asking everyone what they think the definition of passive agressive is.

Anyone that’s ever gotten a speeding ticket knows what "Nolo Contendre" is. Or a quick 5-second Google search would have given you your answer. But you tried to cleverly disguise your rantings about a 4-year dispute around this question. Natalie is right. This is classic P/A sympathy-soliciting behavior. Your word-for-word statement in this thread was: But mostly I'm just fucking tired of this bullshit.

So here’s the real question that should be asked: If you're so tired of it all, why start a completely new thread about it bringing it to the attention of everybody? You start throwing cryptic shit around about having links & documents of god knows what. And then in the same breath start calling people sick, twisted, bizarre, etc. I think you should look in the mirror if you want an example of bizarre.

If you're so tired of all the bullshit, whatever it may be, then don't start new threads stirring it all up.

Merry Christmas.

I think Andrew missed some of the cleverly disguised threads, and deleted the fun ones

Oh well, I guess I missed them too. The bully thread sure
has a life of it's own ...I didn't even know there were that many people
eligible to vote, somebody has definitely sent the buses out!!

It was who you'd want in a foxhole with you. You had 3 votes, leading all the ladies! See, you ARE a winner

Its amazing how many lurkers we have around here,, I wish they'd join in and post instead of just reading!

43 users online, 3 registered, 12 hidden and 28 guests!! wow!

[mikemarrs]

Okay cool.

So there's some pretty mentally ill fucking people out here. Some whom I thought were my friends, some who haven't let me alone for 4 fucking years. And I got links and documents and shit that would go a long way to proving I'm not the lying, thieving sonofabitch I've been made out to be.

But mostly I'm just fucking tired of this bullshit.

I play music. I play Journey music, and I write some of my own.

If you like that, come to our shows. People have fun there.

If not, big fuckin deal...I used to post here before Frontiers and seemed to get along well with a lot of people.

Now, seeing all the behind the scenes work that goes into some of the shenanigans around here, it's just...wow, it's just bizarre...

So to all good people out there, Merry Christmas. And if you ever think about starting a band...well...LOL....

Jeremey, I don't know how old you are, but turning 44 this past May was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received, because having been 44 for almost 7 months now, I've been evolving, changing, growing. It's not a new concept I've only become aware of, but it seems to only now be taking hold. My partner and I have been together for 18 years, we have fringe family members (not immediate) but still related that can't seem to deal with who we are as homosexuals. It was during an argument with one them trying to tell me about "God" and how "God" works and what "God" thinks that I had that shedding of old skin moment and immediately thought to myself, "why the fuck do I care what you think?". It snowballed after that and me telling them if they felt homosexuality was wrong I'd be better off without them in my life. They were ejected then and there and I don't speak to them anymore. I started sleeping better, I don't worry as much and it's all because of growing up and realizing that even family members can be assholes and don't have to have a place in one's life. Now, my point with all this, if family members can be ejected, then obviously friends and especially people on the internet can be erased completely.

You do not have to answer to any motherfucker or defend yourself. I told my partner that he and I are the only ones that mattered and if someone doesn't like that, fuck them and their hatred/ignorace and move on.

Don't let the sons of bitches bring you down. Don't give them that power. It's all about being the best we can personally be and when someone wants to hold you hostage or bring you down with them, it's best to just let them go and forget about them.

I then had a talk with my parents, sisters and brother and told them all the same thing, I love them but if they ever got into that bullshit about "love the sinner hate the sin" or that fucked up religious zombie philosophy, they'd simply have to learn how to deal without me in their lives. It's called unconditional love and if I give it I should receive it. If love isn't unconditional, it simply isn't love. I am VERY lucky that all my family loves me and my partner unconditionally and show it often.

Peace to you and yours Jeremey.

sounds like me and my step mother.i constantly had troubling sleeping,pissed off and a nervous wreck all the time because we never got along.well this past june after 15 years of putting up with it i told my father i loved him and not to be mad with me and what i was about to do.i called my step mother and told her never ever come around me,my kids,or wife again.immediately after i did this a huge burden melted.i slept better,ate better and the irritation and fucked up moods went away.life is too short to deal with peoples bullshit and sometimes you have to look out for whats best for you and your health and peace of mind.haven't talked to father in six months but got a call that my uncle passed away this morning who i really loved.now i have a huge dilemna to deal with again and i know i'll face these people when i go to help put my uncle in the ground.the question is can they put aside petty bullshit for one day.i'll be finding that out when i bury my uncle one day before christmas.

That's what has to be done when people act like assholes. Sorry to hear about your uncle. When I'm faced with family functions and dealing with those people that I no longer speak to I just treat them as strangers. I try to be nice, smile and greet them and if they try to make conversation I keep it about the weather or something inane and then I move on. It's not cool to cause a scene at functions, but if it's ever one on one, the fur flies. LOL

Good luck and again, sorry for your loss.
