I wasn't going to respond to this, but I have to...for a reason.You see Jon, I don't need to defend myself to someone who says something about me that isn't true. However, several things have been said about me here that just aren't true. If you had said those things in a pm, I could have let it go thinking "of course I'm not that way, he just doesn't get me". However, you and the other person said those things in a public forum. Now anyone in the world can come on here and read those things about me. Without knowing anything about me, or whether or not what you said has any basis, they will automatically assume those things to be true about me. That's a problem. Because I necessarily care what people I don't know think about me? No, of course not. But after being a part of this board for quite a while, I have come to a point where I am really making an effort to be helpful to people. Especially young folks who are getting the sh*t end of the stick. But if they come to this thread and read how Damien is just looking for approval, or posts knee-jerk reactions, or is arrogant and cocky, my credibility has been shot as far as they are concerned. Based on what? Things that are totally untrue.That's why I'm "defending myself". That's why it's a problem....and now back to the passion vs. anger question...
-
Angry?
-
CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!! YOU INSANELY ANGRY FUCKER!!! YOU ALWAYS FLY OFF THE HANDLE LIKE THIS!!! WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING ANGRY????
-
Its just my opinion. The fact that you get so wound up about it, only solidifies my position. I wonder if Im the only one who thinks this?Apparently not.... In reply to: I also have to consider that fact that I am an approval addict and really need affirmation from people around me. But I don't think it's just that. Your words, not mine.
-
Now, as you said, back to the original question...(which btw wasnt the original question, but anyhoo)Anger and passion arent the same thing. I think anger is driven by passion. I mean, can you truly be angry without passion (about whatever the subject matter is)? I dont think so. However passion can -and does -exist outside of anger.I agree expressing anger and passion are very positive things, when done in the "right way" -whatever that is.
-
well I am just curious why to worry about your image so much. Someone may read that you are a terribly evil person, but you are not. And they can see that when you post. It seems useless to "defend" yourself, and try and be pleasing to everyone. If there is one thing I have learned it is, let people decide how they feel about you, they will see the true you by your actions and not by the words that others speak, even though words can be a hinderance.You have proven yourself to be a nice guy, and very helpful, and well very good at getting your point across. No reason to get a PR campaign going to make sure everyone knows your not angry, well all know that some people just see things differently.

BITE ME, YA BLOODY MICK!!!

In reply to:
The fact that you get so wound up about it
I'm not wound up about anything. I'm asking calm, rational questions.
In reply to:
Your words, not mine.
Doesn't mean everything I say or ask is an effort to elicit approval.
I'm done with this.
-
your not angry. lets not this go into a 5 page fight.
-
OK, whatever helps you sleep at night. Its funny how everything thats not praising you is somehow an incorrect judgement of your character. Sometimes the truth hurts. You ask for opinions, and you get them. Now you're done with this? Why?
-
helms bud...I got a lot to tell ya...yeah it is not an anger problem, you just seem edgy, damien.
-
You obviously have not been paying attention to my posts over the past year. I have been very open to being corrected, when warranted. The whole reason I start these damned threads is in effort to maybe find out if there is something to the accusation. So please cease and desist with your attempts to paint me as a hyper-defensive crybaby. It's not working.You're right, sometimes the truth hurts. However, there has been absolutely no truth to anything you have posted about me in this thread...or in other threads for that matter.And the fact is I didn't come here asking for general opinions as to my character and personality. I came here asking a very specific question about anger. You and Jon took that as an opportunity to tell me all the negative things you think you see in me. Any opinion on anything other than anger was not solicited. Why am I done with this? Because you took this way off topic and became spiteful and accusatory. That benifits no one. This argument benifits no one.
-
I think you are a very honest and decent guy! Angry? Hell no! I like hearing what you have to say because you speak from the heart and know what you're saying.I'd love to know who's been saying these things about you.. they must have something wrong with them!
-
In reply to: you just seem edgy, damien. It's the drugs Jon.
-
I never once thought of you as an angry person. Either way we've all had our days.
-
Lets not get sand in our panties again. Take it with a grain of salt. I dont know you from a hole in the wall. And Im not trying to paint you as a "hyper-defensive crybaby". You do that all by yourself.All I know about you is what I read here, and my opinion is wrong simply because you disagree. Ok. Let me give you what you came here for, Damien you aren't an angry person. You give great advice and are truly an asset to A2A. Any perceived anger is really due to your passion for helping people.And I really mean it. And I also think you are constantly seeking peoples approval. With that said, I think Im done with this subject.
-
You are a piece of work...really...
-
In reply to: Chance? Angry, yes, and a bit volitile too I suippose....but explosives are just like that!. Thats why we love him
-
Well, that and his renegade f's.
-
Well yes i did say that, i thought you may have detected the irony that i sniffed out this thread.The following is big news to all.Walken, Me myself and I and Babalicious have submitted posting which i think are all spinkled with a peppering of the truth however Damien (being nearly twice their age) has acted disgracefully in his attempt to ridicule and opress their less eloquent attempts at articulating themselves. He should be throughly ashamed of himself. I hope he does not have children as his need to be centre of attention and save face at any cost is infantile and very distrutive, he would be an appaling parent. He does try and curtail his impulsive reactions with some nice theraputic sentences however it is clear they have been recently aquired. What amazes me in the young intelligent postee's ive named can see through his facade. I only hope he never works with angry children in a postion of responsibilty, because they would feel inconsolablly afronted by his dis-ingenious performed persona. He does this because he at his age lacks the integrity of character to control himself which is evident in his replies to the postee's on this thread.The depression kids will sent me a load of hate mail because most of them (not coys or a few others) would jump of a cliff if he asked them to, they are so emotionally empoverished he is all they have got and he loves the fact they are to wrapped up in their self obsession of suffering they cant see he is a performer. Finally The poster Joe bloggs is an idiot. Oh yes he is,a foolish foul mouthed child. I am amazed at how his tiny brain can genearate enough electrical charge to make his silly mouth speak his foul obsenities.

You really recieve hate mail about your behaving like a "clever bastard"?
