I agree. Purplemookie is just airing thoughts. wtf?? Every time I come over to the org, which is not often, I find is people ridiculing other people. It's like being in 5th grade again.

I have to say that if you are going to post on here and want attention or advice - you take the bad with the good.

Some other chat rooms (not this Org) are downright bitchy and scathing - on here it is more of a gentle sarcasm which even I can take and I am sensitive most of the time.

If you can't handle the feedback - don't post.

I've been posting on the org since 2004, but thanks for the advice. My threads which invite feedback actually tend to be quite supportive. But usually within three clicks elsewhere, in all forums, I find ridicule, meanspiritedness and disparagement.

I don't fully agree with your "love it or leave it" approach. Alternatively, one may offer a critique with encouragement to raise the bar. Having said that, however, I don't really need to take the bad anymore and stopped posting/reading regularly a while ago.

one of mine owes me $500 ~ and can't remember why [the rent he offered to pay me the 3rd or so time he was homeless -- also a great "starving artist" (also "well-endowed") -- and I took him in.... I asked him to leave a few months in, he didn't pay me the last month]

- but I'm glad to be rid of him - he drained me emotionally, financially... so I'll take the $$ loss

well, mostly rid of him.. haven't seen him since 2006, but, he'll write me on FB [he's not a FB friend] if something tragic happens, like a mutual friend of ours died a couple of yrs ago, and he wrote to see how I was doing when Michael Jackson died

$20 and a book? girl, cut your losses and enjoy life w/o him & his drama...

yeah its really not about the book and 20 bux it was to see if his lazy ass got his life 2gether. all i do is sit in front the computer all day since been laid off so i'm the lazy ass but still i'm not addicted to weed and cigs and playing xbox all day

and if he did - get his life together - would you be happy, or pissed (since he couldn't/didn't do it when he was with you)?

all this time in front of the computer - are you job hunting during any of it?

See the gentle sarcasm?

Can't stop people being people I'm afraid - it is brave to hide behind the computer but there again WE ALL DO IT!

You can job hunt in front of your computer. Plenty of jobs offered online.

I know you are not complaining about gentle sarcasm - what I am pointing out is that you also give sarcasm - vis a vie you are as bad as the rest of us.

spelling edit - duh!

I got that you were pointing out my gentle sarcasm but you missed my point that there are worse things around here than that. I feel people cross the line. I know "the line" is subjective. But for me, it gets crossed too often.

heartbeatocean said:

wow/ i need to get off my ass now

I feel the real problem is there's no line.

YES!!

That's kinda cool that he blew apart your preconceptions. You could have spent your whole like thinking he was weed-smoking loser.
