I'm Offended!!!! Waaaah!
*Whine*

Grow some skin, people. It's looking silly on both sides of every coin here where a few want to take comments on a very large and broad tent message board and damn the posters of any message that you don't agree with.

Discuss. Don't whine, Don't snipe, and try not to act like I have acted in the past.

This is a great place and I promise that there will always be someone here to raise your hackles. Don't be a tattle tale unless you really REALLY believe it's a dangerous post or can really REALLY damage DU's rep. Discuss without personal attacks and all will be fine.

Hmmm... I'm guilty of everything above just be posting this.

DAMN! Mods, I demand I be punished!!!!!!





Peace, people. Don't sweat the small stuff.

1. LOL and I agree, you should be punished....
just kidding ;) . I find it easier just to 'walk away' than to get all riled and entrenched in something that won't mean anything an hour (or less) later.

3. It took me a while to figure that out here...
I'm a DU junkie and all it took was a few days without my fix and the light became clearer.

I still go off on tangents, but I hope I know when to back off now.

6. As a fellow DU junkie, I know exactly what you mean. I
find it much more entertaining to sit back and watch :popcorn: the drama, than be part of it.

Oh and just in case you didn't see my "thank you" for my star on your donation post, I'll say it again here:

THANK YOU Dood!
:yourock:

4. If one has a thick skin, one can learn something
about human nature, if nothing else. What I find to often be instructive, however, is to examine myself and my reaction to those with whom I disagree. If I can see a situation from another's point of view, I can better understand a situation.

7. I like the
"don't sweat the petty things" variant, because then you can flip it around to "don't pet the sweaty things."

Either works. :thumbsup:

8. Love Ya TYJ! And I Hear Ya.
And don't sweat the hypocrisy. I've always said myself that just because I'm a hypocrite doesn't mean I don't give sound advice. (much like when I declare to youngsters that "smoking is a filthy, dirty, expensive, health risking disgusting habit.. that I've really got to quit" lol.
