So you know Vendit, I assume by your reply. No need for me to back and look at the 'history', as I really am not in to these chat boards. I deal with troubled people every day. When I get home, the last thing I wish to do is see more troubled people on the internet.
I do lurk certain places from time to time, thats how I know Vendit. Obviously, by your post, you and he have had a falling out. May I ask one simple question? Has he changed since a year or two ago?
The Vendit I remember, is not the one I popped in to say hello to yesterday. I am wondering if maybe something happened over the last year to cause his attitude to change so abrubtly.
Keith told me that Him and Dealer ( yes, I lurk on the porch from time to time, but not often and have never posted there ) are good buddies, and that the minute he showed up over here on IHUB, Vendit pretty much gave him the cold shoulder. He said it was due to his friendship with dealer, and from lurking just occassionaly on the porch, it is very clear that dealer never cared much for Keith- and I can't necessarily say I blame her. Keith is one of those guys that speaks what is on his mind. He doesn't hold back his thoughts, that's for sure. Dealer seems to only want to accpet one line of thinking, which is fine, I don't know her so I can't say much more then what I see. Is this your take on things? I am just curious as to what happened to cause such a nice, well mannered guy, become so, how do I say, stand offish.
Lastly, in thinking last night, I actually think that maybe Matt and Bob may have something with this parking lot thread, however, it does need some kinks worked out. First, the reason I don't visit most chat boards is because of all this particular crap we are seeing happening right here. The idea of making Stock Threads for stock discussion only, is a great idea. Keep the fights and off topic discussion off of the real threads, and give the attacking and fighting folk a place to do just that.
However, I still feel a line needs to be drawn, even here in the parking lot. As a trained professional in Mental Health, I can honestly say that the extent of what is allowed here is not good for an unbalanced individual. A place like this, where "anything goes", allows people with serious mental disabilities, to fester those disabilities and get worse, not better.
I do think the thread is a good idea for people with disagreements to come and air out their differances, but they need to make more rules then just no vulgar language or sexual referances. It still needs to be a mature sight. Sure, let people fight, but lets draw a line in the sand and not allow ridiculous and childish fights to occur.
If folks have a real disagreement, then come here and fight it out- in a mature manner. If your sole purpose is just to stir up trouble and treat people with disrespect hoping to egg them into a fight, they should be banned. What Matt fails to realize is there are plenty of people like that. I think my character assesement on Paul was pretty good considering all I had to go by was his posts. But it is apparent he is just trying to egg somebody on, into an unnecessary fight, looking for attention, and GETTING IT when he finds a taker. And there are alot of Pauls out there. People that will show up here for that reason and that reason alone.
Trust me, this is not good therapy for one who has certain Mental problems that cause them to do what I am talking about. People like that need help. Allowing them to come here, for no reason other to pick a fight, and/or garner attention, is only making that person more mentally ill. A true disagreement, come here and work it out in a mature manner. Looking to pick a fight or get attention, ban them and send them over to Raging Bull, or to my office for therapy <g>.
I think I will copy my opinion and send it to Matt and be on my way.
Wish you the best
Greg
