Am I the only one getting tired of your bitching? I've been beyond this point for awhile - narcoleptic, even. |

Thanks, Mr. Triassic, for sticking your neck out when you didn`t have to. His point is something to think about. Funny thing is all i do is express a point of view that seems to not be of general consensus and it seems to get opposed or misconstrued. And then i get a tirade of admonishment and how much everyone is sick of it/me. But ya all still have to reply, still take time to post. When things get heated at me, the views on the thread go way up. I`ve watched em. You think the way to discourage me away would be not to post,read or even visit the thread. But you do. Another funny thing is not once has anyone asked me about myself. I read all these replies that i`m a bored, lonely,selfish attention grabber IRL, but haven`t been asked how i keep my days. I`m actually quite active in the rights of the disabled. I do volunteer advocacy work helping people with disabilities navigate through our somewhat daunting gov`t forms to access their funds and/or medical equipment. I just got a guy awarded a free scooter($5,000 new) that they said he wasn`t covered for..... he was. Mostly i just assist people filling out the forms that get them disability status in my country. I don`t have anything to prove to any of you,, IRL i am a recording(if somewhat semi-retire, i can`t tour by my illness) musician, community activist and have Big Brothered several youths over the years. And that`s not to boast, that`s to show you don`t judge a book by it`s cover. I deal with a certain group of people dictating and imposing their way of what they think is how i should live/be all the time. It`s called the gov`t. But you can elect a gov`t. I don`t see no polling booths here............... this is an open forum (although i thought this was my story thread) so may we try(not Tri) a bit of the open part? And i will never stop speaking up for my voice when i am put in situations that i am told i should`nt have one. Tri, you are right....I AM PARADEVO! hear me roar (or at least throw in a wispy cackle). |

Mercy, Please get over yourself. There is not a control center of paradevo masterminds plotting ways to get you. I have seen in quite a few posts where you have made comments referring to members as rednecks, ignorant, uneducated, blah, blah, blah. I am not really going to put forth a concentrated effort to sift through and quote your posts verbatim, but you know what you wrote. I think every single member has had a thread hijacked at least once. I know I certainly have. Isn't that the nature of the human mind? We get side tracked, we become a little stream of consciousness and we lose track of the original topic at hand. The thread did not turn into an "I hate Mercy" thread, no one brought up anything negative until you started crying newbie discrimination from your state of paranoia. I had to insert my two cents here because I think your antics are getting out of hand. You say that only the wheelers have voiced any problems they may have with you. Well, I certainly don't fall under that category. I have no problem with someone new coming in and posting worthwhile opinions, but to come in and needlessly stir the pot for the sake of it doesn't make sense. I don't really consider myself one of the senior members up in the control room. I post when I have something to say, and I read more often than I post. I think if you stuck around and really tried to get it everyone would have a different experience. Good Day. Yes , and everyone of those posts were in defense of myself and only reactionary. I dare you to find one post i have ever made at any member unprovoked. And i said it was" mainly guys", so that also took out of context. But again, why take the time to respond if it irritates you so much.? Plenty of room elsewhere. And buddy... If you`re narcoleptic it didn`t impede your typing skills (to the other post) |

I had a post written out but I'll take your sage advice, 'nix. Deprive a fire of fuel and the flame will burn out on it's own.
It's time to be the bigger man and just leave things alone.

I don`t know, i could pose the same question to you, why do YOU feel the need to fuel the fire? I was just responding to your attempt at ridicule/sarcasm. Besides, Antonio finally figured out that his penchant for Scrabble and buggery were the deciding factors in the demise of his marriage. |

Really? I must have missed the part where she ridiculed you. From what I've seen, 'nix is a sweet girl that hasn't spoken ill of anyone. This is exactly what I meant in my earlier post about lashing out unnecessarily. She posed a simple question and you somehow construed it as an insult.
Please note, I've said nothing in this post to attack you or your feelings. I'm just hoping I can illuminate the folly in taking offense at something as innocent as a question.

If you`re narcoleptic it didn`t impede your typing skills (to the other post) Do you double dog dare me? haha. I think you overreact a bit and take things out of context, as with your reply to 'nix's post above, which was not offensive at all and you got mega deffensive. I took the time to respond for a few reasons; I see all these incindiary posts everytime I look at the 10 most recent posts and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't go seeking out your posts, and trust me I tried to ignore them for quite a while. However, I really felt a need to voice my opinion, you of all people I think would understand that(or are you the only one allowed to have an opinion?) I think this board has a little more significance to some people, especially devos and I am not a fan of pot stirrers. I think you really just need to simmer down and think before you go on the attack. Everything anyone writes is not a personal assault against you, and sometimes your responses (i.e. redneck, ignorant, and now implying homosexuality, which strikes me as a of bit homophobic move) are just not appropriate for the original "slight". I'm sure you must have something of value to contribute, I just haven't seen it yet. I hope you take this criticism as constructive, as that's how it's intended. |

Mercy,
i am a new member and just posted my intro that i want you to read. Not that i am taking your side, i want to be unbiased as i can.
I am pressed for time as i have to go work and just want to quickly tell you that i listened to your music and love it and you have a very sexy singing voice. I am usually SCI attracted but in your case, exception may be made.
I just need to know one thing. Are you really in the Vancouver area? Because i live in PoCo, so we might be neighbours.
I am sending you a myspace friend request but feel free to PM me and i hope to connect with you soon.
And i was really liking your story, don`t stop.
Damn, i`m really late for work!
talk to you soon

I'm sure you must have something of value to contribute, I just haven't seen it yet. I hope you take this criticism as constructive, as that's how it's intended. Do you not think saying i am presumptive and predetermining my motives as to my psychology behind my words exactly the behavior you are calling me on? And take that in the most playful way, i am not trying to create a rift(in any nasty sense anyway) with you. I do know that members gender choice is not a secret, that is why i wrote boyfriend instead of girlfriend. I was going to say mother, but that was a bit much,even for me. And it was Mother`s Day yesterday, here in Canada anyway. I was trying to do something productive, i don`t know if you bothered reading the story i am trying to supply, but have now been side tracked on. The posts that you brought up were resolved at least a month ago and funny thing, the person i had the redneck debate with is the one who just posted in my defense. So obviously there is no bad blood between us. I see members being sarcastic and undermining each other all the time, mostly in a cajoling way, but they get heated at times too. So when i do that, respond to a post in a sarcastic way, for some reason it`s all of a sudden a big deal and i am `stirring the pot. Well the pot was brought to the table not by me. What can i say? You are entitled to your opinions and i actually put a high value on that, even though i don`t feel i am getting it in return (a generality, i`m not saying you). And in the end, i am not mad,upset or affected by the criticism. I actually am a bit amused. But it has been weighing on me a bit that some members are taking it to heart and getting more emotional over it than it needs be, considering the real problems that are out there. So thank you for the time you spent voicing your opinions, i really admire that you came with a thought out response and had insight to your side of the debate, even though i have to disagree with the observations. .................................... |
