Alright...I'll try this again. It's not a matter of WHAT is posted, but HOW it is posted. Sure, since you were there you know he's kidding and all...that's great. But there have been sooooo many people posting this "my life is in the shitter" stuff for so long that it's kind of come to a head. Most of us are so used to the above mentioned threads so we actually clicked on it expecting to see something serious...and I'm sure if that had been the case people would've offered their condolences. So it's not fair to blame everyone else because they didn't get a poorly timed joke. Would it have been so hard to label the thread "a really shitty night" or something like that rather than "Worst day of my life" and have people not get the "joke"? Maybe this is just the result of me being pissed off at everyone else's bullshit whining posts lately and if that really is the case then I apologize. But you also need to realize that it's not everyone else's fault that they got pissed...in hindsight this thing was doomed from the word go.

As for my postings, yes, I DO post about what I think. What else am I supposed to post about...what you think or what someone else thinks? My goal here is to occasionally get people to think and the rest of the time just do whatever. Don't get me wrong...some of the goofy threads are great. If the whole thing was serious no one would ever come here. But then again if it's all mindless drivel then it poses an equally dangerous problem. But when I do post pointless shit I try to do it in a manner where people KNOW it's pointless shit. I wouldn't title a thread "I had a life altering experience" and then stick some stupid movie I downloaded in it. See where I'm going with this?

So you can lose respect for me or anyone else if you want...but also realize that it's not entirely our fault. There's a combination of factors here...the least of which are the people responding. Besides...I'm sure you didn't have that much respect for me to begin with.
