jaxenro Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Many of use online arguments as a diversion from other issues in life. I never take it too seriously and never take offense.
thesometimesaint Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Many of use online arguments as a diversion from other issues in life. I never take it too seriously and never take offense. I've been here a long time. So my opportunity to screwup has been greater. But I do try not to .
Calm Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Better life through chemistry. I know...love/hate relationship here with drugs, can't live without them, but sometimes come close to can't stand living with them (especially those that make it even odds whether I will be cleaning the toilet or the floor inside the bathroom door).
Rob Osborn Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 This last week has been pretty bad for me. I've lost even more of my ability to walk, and control my hand movements. But that is no excuse for my bad behavior towards Rob. I sincerely apologize for that. I fully forgive you and any others and also seek forgiveness for my slackness. I do like a good discussion and am very passionate about my beliefs. I was very disappointed the thread got shut down as i thought we were just starting to break through and understand each other.
Calm Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 i thought we were just starting to break through and understand each other.You definitely have a different view of how communication works than I do.

I do like a good discussion and am very passionate about my beliefs. I was very disappointed the thread got shut down as i thought we were just starting to break through and understand each other.We'll have another shot at it I'm sure. Evolution threads pop up all the time. You can't keep a good argument down. Or bad ones for that matter.
Rob Osborn Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 You definitely have a different view of how communication works than I do. You have to be able to battle through the name calling and other distractive behavior until we all find a means of common ground and know we aren't there to break each other but to understand each other. The greatest communication and understanding sometimes comes when all the cards re on the table.

I really do believe that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable.
jaxenro Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Ok i have been reading through old threads and you here are a bit sheltered if you consider this name calling and arguing. And I don't mean the use of profanity (always the resort of a weak intellect) but just the general tone is very mildOften my best friendships online began with fights that probably get me banned from here for life
Calm Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Yes, isn't it nice. There is enough harsh incivility in the world, don't see a need to add to it. Edited March 16, 2014 by calmoriah
jaxenro Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Takes some getting used to - definitely not my style I tend to go for the extreme punch it out and shake hands afterwards type of exchanges but I am trying to adapt - I haven't called anyone a weak brained cretinous slug yet
The Nehor Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 It is statements like this that should make us all realize how unimportant winning an online argument is and how each one of us is a person at a keyboard who struggles to some extent or another with life. Wait?!?!?!??!!? All you people are real?!?!?!
The Nehor Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 we were just starting to break through and understand each other. No.
thesometimesaint Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Wait?!?!?!??!!? All you people are real?!?!?! No. To you I'm just a series of electronic blips on a computer screen. Fortunately or unfortunately you are the same to me.
The Nehor Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Fine - PM me your address - ill pony up the reward!!!Impressive Okay.
