i dare you to rename yourself FassFlavoredFritos or sumfin

Freaker said:

yes, but he had the sesne to not do it in his first few posts. your first post antyone noticed was you calling out dansa, rd, and all the gay orgers. your second post anyone noticed was you slamming all the americans.

cborgman said:

Yeah! I see your point and co-sign 100% chris! The nut still doesn't seem to understand the obvious harm that he caused. He just needs to keep his thoughts to hisself and/or think before speaking/typing from now on...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

good idea!

i was thinking of CallMeChris... cause i find myself saying ti all the time

Freaker said:

I know Aaron personally. I have hung out with him about a dozen times, and I have to say that he is a wonderful person.

Freaker said:

Wow, so you're saying that none of us has ever traveled or deserved to have opinions of another country, like you do? Perhaps you have never experienced what we have, so you don't know where we're coming from either--ever consider that?



Well, gee, since you didn't know how we use our flag, I'm quite insulted and now I think the British must all be very arrogant and self-absorbed, since you didn't know!

well, the only real harm he did was to himself, but a bit of thought before posting would do him good. and THANK YOU for calling me chris

We are being mean to him. This is obviously an attempt by Freaker to apologize or explain himself. Let's give the kid a chance to do that!

AaronUniversal said:

are you callign me thin-skinned



and it is some incredible cosmic coincidence that almost all of freakers post can be deemed offensive isn't it? he is miraculously the onyl person in the universe that doesn't see it

As i keep saying no offence was intended.
The phrase 'A storm in a teacup' is valid here.

Aaron one more peep out of you and its harrassment charges. I hear the police are very efficient.

Moonbeam said:

someone wanna take the gun out of his hand so he doesn't shoot himself in the foot again like he did with the original apology post?

Can someone lock this thread, im tired of it. You're all like bees to my honeypot.

Freaker said:

i've known aaron for the entire 4 years i've been on the org, and i honestly can't say one bad thing about him. i respect him a lot--always have.


you gotta give respect in order to earn it. that's how i was raised. and i've never hassled you in any way whatsoever, so cut it out with the 'i'm a victim' spiel, cuz it ain't cool. you are the one who constantly flames me, as well as others on this site. i talk back to you cuz you address me.

i've always been this way, even before i became a mod. i treat others how i wish to be treated--there's only a thimbleful of folks here who i butt heads with, and i treat them with respect as well. what it all boils down to at the end of the day is that this is a website, not a popularity contest.


i seen the majority of the flame war between you and aaron before it got deleted. sure, aaron wuz bein totally crass and all that but think about it: what were YOU sayin as well? it wasn't just all him. it takes two to tango.



seemed nice at first to start up an apologetic thread and all, but still...folks are still miffed over what you said and what you're sayin even now ain't makin up for anything. you're just makin shit worse.



mine!

Freaker said:

That would be just fine. But unfortunately, your thread degenerated into you deciding any American who didn't comply with your desire for them to travel abroad, where and when you saw fit, was ignorant. And then you informed me that my own behaviors abroad were most likely the cause of any trouble I encountered from anyone while traveling.

Then you went on about your (primarily negative) observations of the U.S. in Florida, determining that all of America must be as you've observed of one state. I wonder if I'd get any grief if I went to one city in the UK and then based all of my opinions of the British upon those observations? I wonder if I'd be called "narrowminded" or "arrogant"? I am still puzzled as to why you claim you'd like Americans to travel more, when you seem to dislike us so very much?

Moonbeam said:

It's not that anyone's being mean to him. This is the second apology thread, isn't it? Some of the other orgers have probably said, Enough already!! As my grandma always says, "a hit dog always cries".

kiss85 said:

You're right. I'm just interested in his viewpoint, outside of his previously pejorative tones.

Thank you Moonbeam, glad 2 c that you are not afraid to stand up to the bullies and cowards present.

Freaker, Can u imagine if you would've given the same advice to a bar full of American people in person? I think they would've been kickin your ass by now. This is Hypothetical of course.

Freaker said:

Nobody's being a bully or a coward here. They're just venting their frustrations. But I do think you should get a chance to explain yourself. Feel free!

No, many of the Amers ive met so far dont fit into that stereotype that you are peddling of them being unthinking bullies.

Freaker said:

All I have ever wanted is to be seen and liked or disliked based upon who I am, not where I am from.

Make fun of my clothes, my accent, etc.--being different: fine. But assigning me personality characteristics and deciding my intelligence or worth based upon my citizenship crosses the line.

Freaker said:

Who? On this thread? Who should we stand up to besides you?

Moonbeam read the top of the post and my other explanations. Its like getting blood out of stone getting people here to understand

Freaker said:

man, you would think after 7 or 8 holes in his foot, he ouwld learn. it's like the band playing on while the titanic sank


'HEY YOU AMERICAN ASSHOLES! I APOLOGIZE!'

cborgman said:

I think it's more like him opening his mouth just to swop feet.

LOL ROBOT i would never be so rude. I respect the people of course i do.

kiss85 said:

The thing is that he's not really apologizing, lol. He says he "apologises", but then in the very same breath, he turns around and takes it back by blaming people--saying he's not wrong or sorry, that people just took him the wrong way, are closeminded, are bullies and cowards and haven't experienced what he has.

IMO, people who really apologize do so unconditionally.

Now I've said all I need to say on this topic.
