that’s your opinion. Mine is that the board operates better when fresh topics and more people participate.
if I come to the board and it’s just more slop and not enjoyable? Then either I can sit here and slug it out or do something about it. sometimes you address a topic. Sometimes you pull a thread.
it’s personal I’m the sense that I’m never comfortable being the topic here. Never have been. Fi were this board would have been named something else and I would have too. I would have monetized it and gotten a press pass and joined rivals. Had offers. I have a life. This isn’t it. Never wanted to be garrrrry or Ryan. I like being an observer and owning the bar. I don’t want to be the singer on the stage that brings people in.
a benefit of them being gone this week is I’ve heard and read more of you. Mlk. Brad and others. Good. I don’t consider that a bad thing.
I’ve enjoyed this week more than most. If you’re here and you’re making the board worse imo then it’s my job to either steer the convo a new direction. Yank posts or yank posters. I’ve tried different things over the years. I’ve even been able to edit peoples posts to make them look silly. Whatever it takes to move the topics forward and keep people interested and interesting
they started a new board awhile ago and some guys left. It happens. could happen again
Like I said. If you want to show up to the board and your main goal is to be a D and go after people I’ll watch it and eventually pull it. I think people are so shocked because I rarely do it in defense of me. Even here I’m not sure I did so much for me as for board enjoyment. The other thing is when a topic gets so narrowed down that only a couple people participate and it winds up taking up undue board space? You also have to look at that and say eh. Someone’s being an attention whore here. They need a time out.
I was kind hoping for validation from other quarters but thank you lol.
I’ve always been all about mental health so if helping these guys achieve their chi and their harmonic balance is part of my calling then so be it. Y’all can award me the nobel after I’m gone
I was talking about your boundaries and your mental health, Java. Those two are hopeless. 1 is a psychopathic narcissist. The other has problemas paternales and defends the one who hates him most.
They didn’t. They just need to cool off for a few days. Repetitious and boring. Not the first time we’ve had to prune and shave. Decleater lost his head again something about f Ing my wife and I’m like that’s enough.
the reality is if you show up to the board every day with the intent to be a wanker and cause conflict and argument? You’re a troll. Place is better off without. If someone becomes your obsession. Same. SC in the past had his own trolls that kept him in line and it balanced. Don’t remember the guys name but he just owned San C and kinda piped him down. Created balance.
lot of times I’m too nice and allow people to speak to me here like I wouldn’t allow them to speak to others because I run the forum and want to give people a wide berth. Some folks just decide to be a holes with it and see how far they can go. So like kids you have to reign them in. Nothing more. Nothing less.
the obsession with the elusive thing was more than a little weird. If I ask you why you call a guy gangly because I thought he was awkward and I don’t agree with your assessment? Eh. It’s a board. Who cares. Gangly. Awkward. Theyre basketball players. I knew what you meant. Or you explained it. Tada. But if I want to talk about him being gangly every day for 5 months? You kinda have the right to be like ok. Stop being a Douche. or are you a serial killer stalker? Who knows.
anwyay. Nothing specific. No one post. Though when Rico started going wild on my wife or whatever it was I stopped reading and I was like ok this guy needs a break. Again
ive seen it. You and I reply back and forth quite a bit. Don’t know if that conflicts with some of the other guys I enjoy reading. Exactly why I stay away from the personal stuff,,, mostly. Lol, I’ve lost it a few times over the years. We’re all human
Btw same thing has happened in my company over the years. When we have one person we over rely on. Or two. A sales rep. A driver. Whoever. Others stand back. And when they leave or fail or whatever there’s a huge void. When we don’t rely on one big dog we find others step up. Grow. Develop and overall the team is stronger. I never connected those two to here but our discussion. Yours and mine. Reminds of that
My aim is to be a positive member of this community by posting information in a context that is either informative, interesting or funny. I realize I sometimes (all the time?) fail in that goal. I don’t post for my own amusement although every now and then I amuse myself. My goal is never to start a fight but I admit I enjoy mixing it up with internet bullies.
They fucked around with Java, and they found out.
Bravo Java, always enjoyed a good windmill fight.
Good job, Java. Setting proper boundaries (or walls in DBEANERS case) is the final frontier in proper mental health. You're doing great, bravo!
