So everyone surely knows that there was a big discussion on damien's comments on CR in some other thread. Apparently they were quite nasty and people agreed.But now, all of a sudden, it turns out damien had simply confused two people. A simple mix-up. Let's all forgive and forget and move on!... No.While everyone (including damien this time) else may be happy that everyone thinks CR is da bomb again time, I can't help but notice that just because damien did not mean CR, it doesn't make what he said ok.So now it's my turn to make a thread about this.> 2. StillSearching's always hurting. StillSearching's always down.And your point? Do you think I enjoy always being hurt and always being down?> StillSearching's always taking it out on the board.I know that in the past I have been rather nasty towards the board, but I was under the impression that I was doing much better. I don't even remember when the last time was I went crazy on the boards, but that may just be because I have bad memory.Point is: It's time to move on, damien. I'm not ALWAYS taking it out on the board, it's actually been a long time since I've "taken it out on the board" (which is not what I was ever doing in the first place, but we'll save that for some other time).> It's time for StillSearching to put on his big boy panties and be a man about it.Do you even know ANYTHING about me? Do you know what I've been through? Do you know what it is that makes me the way I am (always hurting, always down)?If not, then you have no right to tell me "to be a man about it". I can safely say that I have/am dealing with shit you can't imagine, so who are you to tell me to be a man about something?> It's time for people to stop mollycoddling StillSearching and to start expecting a little more mature behavior from him.Again, I thoguht I'd been doing a lot better. I'm sorry if you can't get past the past and see that for yourself.

My turn

If it means anything to you...I don't think what he said was right either way.
-
I thought and know you've been WAY better than before. The comments were crude regardless at whom they were directed.
-
I still think you need to go reread what I wrote on that other dicussion. LIke i said youv bene a dick adn deserved it in the past, as of late youv come around some and didnt deserve it at the time it was said. I didnt just jump on and say its ok since its not caleb that he meant. So long as you continue to be genuine and not just here to start shit, Ill continue to think it was wrong for him to jump your ass in the manner he did. I even can understand why your now pissed, I would be too, however you have come along way towards being a productive member of the board dont toss it all out now and just be a dick.
-
backgrounds aside, you have to judge people by thier current actions. SS is nto the little prick he used to be when he was under insearch.Fuck, when I hit reply I had a thought in my head, some asshole rang the door bell and I forgot what it was I wanted to say, but it was agreeing with yuo on this point but fuck it was oh so lovely, like poetry! I wish I could remeber the words my brain fomrulated to type before that asshoel rang the door. Who the fuck rings a door bell and asks someone if they are selling thier truck when thers no fucking sign on the truck advertising it for sale anyways? fucking prick.

I have no idea whats going on, im posting because im procrastinating my homework. Apparently damien said mean things to you, and you just addressed him on that?My thoughts on this are why do you let some random internet guy get to you. Do you know him personally? Is he your family member? Your neighbor? Your friend on myspace? Anything else that ties you to him, except for seeing him on this board? If not dont let his comments get to you. Hes just an internet guy who gives a fuck.People shouldnt criticize you on your life because they dont know what you've been through. And if they do then FUCK THEM. I put this on caps because everyone thinks there sherlock fucking holmes over the internet and because they've talked to you once or twice online they all of a sudden know exactly who you are, and they know whats best for you. Dont let that shit get to you.If im totally off subject and this isnt what we are talking about then fuck me running cause its 2:30 am i have 3 hours of homework to do and its all due in 5 hours, what a tiresome night ahead of me, peace out.
-
I agree, who it was said to makes little or no difference, it was still wrong, but I digress. I've impugned damien enough over this already, probably to much.
I will add one more thing. Though we never really talked, I can see by your post that there are worlds of difference between InSearch and StillSearching, you have grown.
-
It doesn't matter who the comments were directed at. They were mean, disrespectful and crude. So, I guess I agree with everyone else on here.
-
you cut people up all the time. Now you know how it feels. Maybe you SHOULD take damiens advice?
-
I know this is way off topic, but......it's good to see you again. Just sucks that you came back to such an awful mess. Hope you're alright.

That's a very good point, that I, and perhaps all of us, need always to keep in mind. -
"everyone thinks there sherlock fucking holmes over the internet and because they've talked to you once or twice online they all of a sudden know exactly who you are, and they know whats best for you"-Yeah, I've always wondered why that was. Are we just so lazy that we can't stand having to use more than a second's worth of judgment to find out what people new to our lives are like? Is it just that need of wanting to know things fast, because everything else basic is being done fast, i.e. toasting bread?I don't want to start a whole discussion on why people do that, so I'm going to give my opinion on the actual topic. Though I didn't know StillSearching at ALL, I still know that I, like other people, shouldn't just him right away because we don't know him personally and if we did through the means of the internet, we can still only tell so much about him.

GK Chesterton wrote a story about a man whose judgement was so quick that he assigned three people to different treatments/fates just by looking at them. Later he is found murdered, and it turns out it's because of the lack of decency he showed to these three fellow humans in judging them so quickly. It's a very GKC story.
-
A story AND it has a good moral behind it, huh? Interesting Let's look into that when Christmas break comes...
-
It's one of his Father Brown stories, which I think are GKC's best work, but he also wrote several novels, some remarkable biographies, and a lot of poetry and essays. His works often have surprising morals behind them. He was a great lover of paradox and being controversial - sometimes too much. He's not enough read nowadays - I think you'll find him very interesting.Wikipedia article on Chesterton

Thanks, Pete. I'll take a look at him and probably stick with him when the long days start to kick in and I (unlikely) find myself with nothing to do, or just some free time to read up on a few informational details about him

My thoughts on this are why do you let some random internet guy get to youI think you're missing the point of this thread here. What damien said about me only affects me so much, and that's not by much. I made this thread because damien somehow figured, after apologizing for his mix-up of people (me and CR), everything would just be fine. I don't agree with that.> People shouldnt criticize you on your life because they dont know what you've been through. And if they do then FUCK THEM. That's basically the message I was trying to give damien. He has no right to tell me anything about my life.> you cut people up all the time. Now you know how it feels. What makes you think I don't know how it feels? You saying that just proves furthermore that you know nothing about me.> Maybe you SHOULD take damiens advice?You can't be serious.> ...it's good to see you again. Just sucks that you came back to such an awful mess. Hope you're alright.This "awful mess" is really nothing compared to my usual day-to-day things going on, so yeah...@Everyone else who agrees with all of this: It's nice to see there are still some decent people out there.And I'm still waiting for damien to reply to this topic. I know he's probably already seen it, but can't get himself to post in it. @Damien: I'm waiting.
-
he shouldnt apologize everything he said is true.You're a dick to people. and you get babied because youre "troubled".THIS IS AN ONLINE FORUM !!!! There shouldnt be stupid drama like this.Every single time you reply to one of my posts.. its about something i apparently wrote in my blog years and YEARS ago. now you DO know how it feels.
-
There shouldnt be stupid drama like this. Why not?This is a social community. There will always be drama when people interact whether it's face-to-face or online.

but acting like this.. threatening to leave.. thread confrontations.no. not normal.
