    I have been reading this forum for a couple of years, but it was just recently I thought what the hell I'll register and engage in some fun topics of discussion. I know being an open board, like others I belong to, your gonna get some people who like to hijack threads, attack you, attack your thoughts whatever, but I guess I am suprised at how quickly this occurred here. I really thought this was a very openminded forum, geez I guess not. I have no doubt the individual in question will come here, and at least read this post, if not continue his attack here.

    I was bored the other day, and did some thinking out loud in the communal living forum of some dreams of mine, maybe it wasnt a very well written thread, maybe it was just some more of my high ramblings, I dont know, but for someone to take the time to attack my thoughts and dreams is really sad, and very pathetic. I really try and see both sides of everything, even when I am firmly on one particular side. This individual is not a moderator, but I guess he sees himself as one. If the moderators have a problem with my thread let them move it, delete it or whatever. Dont really care! However, when someone takes it upon themselves to try and moderate someone elses thoughts that I just dont get. This world is full of negative and evil things, as a whole, we need to change that, and for those that thrive on it...lighten the f*** up.

    I red your thread in the communal living forum, and I don't find him really offending your thoughts. He's stating his views on communal living and maybe he could be a bit more subtile about your motives, but I've seen far worse negative posts on this forum (unfortunately).

    Thanks for the comment.........

    Inavacuum: live on the southside, work on the north side.. :)

    Asmodean: Well the first post I didnt take real personally. I understood his comment, and responded in kind, but to take one off hand comment and try to condense my entire thoughts down to some personal interpretation kinda set me off. Maybe I am just a different type of individual. I dont mind debate at all, but saying I am sugarcoating some other intention is just wrong. I was just babbling out loud, am I not allowed?????????? There's ome funky stuff being discussed on these boards, I thought mine was rather lame and boring.

    Yeah... sometimes a few of the mods seem a little blind as to who is causing trouble, then there are people who try to cover that or play citizen's patrol... The best way is to just make peace with a mod you can trust.

    In the same way that our DEA agents should be going after methheads.

    This forum is a representation of real life, and still a very idealistic real life... be ready to receive criticism... if you are so hurt by it, then honestly... save yourself the pain and don't post your intimate thoughts here.

    You just made a thread complaining for a thousand words and you're telling us to lighten the fuck up?

    Oh, the irony is killing me.

    Well... on a somewhat unrelated note... this thread reminds me of something I've thought about before: I wonder if there are people who visit this forum regularly but don't post or even have accounts. I mean, I wonder if there are people who come here just to peek into our lives. They'd know our names, what we look like, etc, and yet we'd never even know they were here.

    It'd just be creepy to think of someone watching us for, say, the past two and half years... all the stuff they would have read... hmm. (o_O) I guess that's just the internet, though.

    Yeah, it's just the internet.

    That would be hilarious if true though... imagine the insane degree of social anxiety that these people have.

    the point here is, if the person is flamming you or posting insulting things then you can report him or her.
    however if they are just disagreeing with you, or telling you not to post or in some way twisting your words then thats simply annoying and you'll just have to deal with it the same way you would deal with an arguement in real life.

    I'm sorry but I really can't see how a thread like this can be postive, its having a go at the person in question but indirectly, why don't you PM the person in question with your concerns if it means that much to you.
    if someone had a problem with me I'd certainly not want to read about it on another thread
