Ok. Enough is enough.
I thought that stepping away from negativity for a bit might calm stuff down, because the conflict came a perceived misunderstanding of tone, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I think perhaps my act of conciliation has been mistaken for an act of weakness. That would be an error.
So, to clear things up:
- when the conflict is with a seasoned, respected chipper like
@slisk250, I am more than happy to admit a misread of intent, and chalk things up to a lesson learned, and hope that we can move forward from there;
- When I get a PM from a seasoned, respected chipper like
@Perthmike giving me advice that might calm things down on the thread, I am more than eager to listen and take that advice;
but when the loudest voice is a blowhard like
@nomadland who seems to mistakenly think he has slain a beast and is dancing around in glee, boy -- you have another thing coming. Let's review.
He made quite the speech in his last post.
But then, he...
Ah, probably a typo or a mistake,
@nomadland espouses respect and humility when people go onto HIS thread, and to not disrespect people on a whim.
But then, this is also
@nomadland on one of HIS threads:
@slisk250, I will PM you separately -- my apologies if I read your comment out of context and got upset without cause. I am told you're a solid chipper by people I trust, and I will chalk up our argument to misread intent / context and some hotheadedness on my part.
But listen, bud (and I mean you,
@nomadland.) I stepped away from the thread to let things cool off, and you act like you won some kind of match? You think you did something amazing? This is still the thread I started, dickhead. The thread about my journey, as I wanted to capture it. It's been made fun by a lot of amazing debates among the community about things related to chipping, chippers, and yes, by the photos I have painstakingly taken and posted, both for my own documentation purposes, and to share with the community. You joined in December, and from your classifieds posts today, its clear you haven't even taken the time to understand basic chipping parlance, and yet you think you can come derail the thread that I've built and nurtured along with people who were kind enough to give feedback, or come along for the ride, every day, for almost 5 months?
Fuck that. I'll take constructive criticism from people who have the right to give it. You're a troublemaker, and at this stage, you don't even have enough cred to be my bitch, much less someone who can prance around thinking you took down my journey thread.
@Tommy / Mods: This thread is supposed to be about great pr0n and epic set discoveries. Would you be able to remove some of these posts (including this one) and move them to a derail thread so the thread can get back to doing what it did? Much appreciated.
Since this thread is about Pr0n, here's preview of something epic coming next week...
