I'm not sure what that advice is in particular. I don't remember giving any advice that contradicts anything I have posted, but I will say that most of those comments were jokes. Jokes I figured would be taken well. The other comments were referring to someone being judgmental of someone based on their race, education or eye shape. The black comment was a joke and everybody took it as a joke... if they didn't that's their problem and would probably say that I "was being judgemental of a person based on race". Whatever. If they were not taken as jokes, I obviously misjudged the forum readers a bit. And have taken serious note. I'm semi aware of who is who at this point, so I will just sit back, let it roll and see where my next posts take me. I will say that I can understand the concerns now of people not sticking around because of Bloodydecks style banter.
I actually understand where people are coming from. Their actual "feelings" on my outing probably run the gamut from, yes.. ignorance to total understanding and experience. From love to hate. Jealousy to acceptance. People are all different. And at different levels of maturity and communication skills on the internet. So I guess I should have expected this. Lesson learned
Attempt at machismo?? Please.... Just given the way you posted, is a kettle calling the frying pan black.
I completely understand the route this thread has taken. And am embarrassed to say I got sucked in. The people who have name-called and taken things I've said out of context and even put words in my mouth have their own issues.... Issues that most members are thinking, "Yep, there go those troublemakers again. Grab the popcorn and lets watch this new guy get hammered." Multiple PM's from multiple members have advised me to not waste my time with a select few. Thanks for the heads up.
So anyway, I actually woke up this morning "thinking" about this particular subject... The sad part is, that it actually occupied my mind!!. I actually felt bummed a little about this thread.... That's so sad on my part. It really is. I actually put emotional energy into this... What a waste.
The people who have simply posted concerned, neutral or funny/good posts are appreciated. It's actually been fun in that regard. What a forum should be.
The people who have acted true to their negative character, have other issues to deal with. Big ones.
I will no longer add anything to this thread as it has become rather useless. (The last page especially)
