If you were being yourself, don't appologize.

I'd rather read something that you really meant, even if it's horrible, than some hypocritical blather.

You come off as self righteous at times. I agree with Erin, I was similar when I was your age.

I don't see you as being any more abrasive or arrogant than some others here.

First off, I wanna say I dig you. You speak your mind and I know you are coming from a very real place. The responses in this thread, in general, make me giggle my ass off because some of the people on here come off as total assholes and I can be included in that and it strikes me as hilariously hypocritical that people have issues with you. Everybody on the Org has at least on genuine asshole moment.

Keep being you. Keep being genuine. I do not think you are an asshole.

I think the deal is, the way you asks questions (about celibacy, about scrapbooking, about gas prices in america) makes it seem like you just want to bitch about people who are different than you or hold a different opinion that yours rather than actually gain an understanding of why they are or think that way.

Maybe that's not your intention, but that's how it comes off.

And as others have said, I totally see a younger me in you sometimes. Erin said it very well.

ok,

I hear you...I thought the same thing. We all behave like mofos from time to time.

It has zero to do with wisdom coming with age. Most of us are definitely old enough to know better and we do it anyway.

your view is askew.

Stymie said:

I completely agree. I would genuinely love to be able to be diplomatic, cool and level-headed all the time, but I can't. I make mistakes, I behave badly...I'm human. We all do these things. I think it's in the concious and consistant effort to not be those things that you can see the difference in people. Some see it not in themselves, but only when it's directed toward them.

alright meow (won't call your actual name to avoid confusion )


you have opinions, and unlike a lot of people (here), you state them as you feel'em. i find nothing wrong with that - in fact, i meant to send you a private note about that scrapbooking thread a few weeks ago
people lost their TOPS. on the internet, on someone they barely knew who didn't fancy scrapbooking being considered an art.
that's your opinion, it kind of lines up with mine and on the other end it totally doesnt. are you an asshole for thinking the way you do? Nooo... you're human going through your own unique experience in order for you to think what you think - and it's wonderful.


if people can't handle it, fuck them. they'll bitch and moan, but guess what, your topic is on fire @ the top of the list for a day or two, right?
let'em bitch.




i think some of the 'older' orgers like to take advantage sometimes because they can't in real life (unless some of them do )...

applekisses said:

True

Though I would say many others instead of some

I don't agree with the "age" excuse
Some of the 30-40 yr olds here act more like an arrogant little shit then some of the 20 yr olds

thank you.
some of us seriously get no credit.

Mach said:

that's right!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

ditto that. the older i get the more i just think "fuck em if they can't take a joke'

seriously

this thread is a dead end women's thread!

Men simply don't give a fuck!

abierman said:

way to generalize.

abierman said:

that wasn't said in agreement with you

Stymie said:

Well, I'm only speaking for myself and my experiences. I used to be way more brazen and expressed myself similar to how meow does.

But I don't now. I've changed. Life experience and age has changed me. It is what it is.

sammij said:

I know that, but I'm not gonna argue with you.....I'm way too arrogant for that!

JustErin said:

This is you toned down?



I think I am getting more brazen as I get older. As I learn to treat people the way I am treated, I picked that up.

Stymie said:

This is me very toned down.

VERY toned down.

she just calls me a "little shit"

JerseyKRS said:

fuck off!

abierman said:

oh you are pedantic but I do lurve ya baby...hee hee!!!

Arnotts said:

Maybe it really is a change in me and everything else is the same, but what I've been seeing lately is a wave of over-sensitivity. As far as I thought I was doing, the tone of my posts hadn't changed any.
