    Do you believe this?

    Rants, Raves, and Everything Else

    (32 Viewing) This is the place to bitch, moan, or make a statement. Anything goes!

    Just curious.

    I may be a bit thick, but, I don't understand the statement/question you are making/asking.

        Why do you ask? Go ahead and bitch about something and see what happens. Or rave about something also.

          It's really no big deal.. Awhile back when I was in somewhat of an antagonistic mood, I posted a message that I admit (hindsight vs. foresight) was a shot to someone's ribs. I didn't think anything of it and even somewhat apologized for it but in the meantime, my bogus rep number went from positive to a negative in a heartbeat. Someone that really was not even involved decided to take up the nonexistent fight. Granted, the numbers mean nothing to me (until I scrolled over a little hash mark that said "I was trying to improve") but today, the "anything goes" intro just hit me as wrong. Obviously, that is not anywhere near an accurate statement. I guess I was just venting. It should not be a concern to anyone. Just my own observation.

            Well you can vent and rant. No problem. I had red flags also. But I've been a polite , good boy lately and now have a bunch of green cards. I'm so proud of myself. LOL. Ya, it depends on who you piss off at the time and the subject. Some people have a lot of power on this site and can knock you down in no time whatsoever. I don't worry about it myself. Take care.

              The consortium regulates itself most of the time, when someone crosses the line. It's when the moderator regulates you, that you will know you really Fucked up!!!

                  I'm smart enough to know that it had absolutely nothing to do with what I said but more with who I said it to. I broke no rules, I simply insulted (in my mind, in jest) the wrong person. Oh well, I vented, I learned, no big deal.

                    In reality, "Anything Goes!" isn't strictly true. When you piss into the wind you're likely to get wet yourself.

                    Perhaps my personal philosophy is a little different. Everyone has a right to their own delusions. It's not my job to try to correct anyone's personal point of view, and it's usually not received well. =^..^=
                    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      One thing, if you have a problem or concern with an individual, PM the individual, don't put it out for everyone to look at.

                          One of my elder siblings quoted this to me many years ago.
                          "Opinions are like @ssholes everybody has one,
                          but you really should'nt display it in public."
