I really don't know what to make of this site. Most of the time it's interesting with lots of different comments and opinions. Some of you are mature but most are ready to fight, argue, complain, whine, and generally be a pain in the butt bout some something that amounts to a molehill. Don't say this, don't say that, do this, do that, so-so did this, so-so didn't do that. Some of you take offense at just about anything and everything and yes, I've done it too. Some of you want to change the world so only your viewpoint matters. A lot of you want to be the arbiter of what can or can't be done or said. You have everyone of you broken your own so called rules. You look down on anybody that doesn't know these "rules" or doesn't know how to make a dmod. If a person doesn't know about computers, a lot of you automatically think they aren't worthy of you. It definitely shows in your attitudes to others. You put down those people, you make fun of them, and you get snotty to them. You are so afraid of being the one that others don't like that you find someone to be a scapegoat like glenn glenn or others I could name. You fight at the drop a hat, you piss and complain, and you act oh-so-superior. Well, here's an idea: you are just kids. You will learn alot when you actually get out in the world. Life is hard and the majority of people have to work hard just to live. And believe me - attitude counts. Everybody in the world tries to help everyone else because nobody can do it on their own. So and so hears of a job and tells someone thats looking for a job. He/she gets the job and then has to have help to learn the ropes. If they go into this job thinking they are the only one to know anything, they are soon out of a job. And this applies to everything, not just the working life. No-one is an island. Surprise- It doesn't revolve around just you and your ideas.
This does not apply to everyone here by ANY MEANS.
I have seen everything under the sun posted on this board. I probably don't know or understand the rules that apply to sites like this. But nowhere in the listed rules does it limit what subject can or can't be discussed nor does it say what can or can't be asked. It seems like there are some unofficial rules on this site. As I've seen just about everything posted that can be posted, I sometimes don't realize it should not be posted. This is a site that apparently has lots of unwritten do's and don't. Maybe I'm just slow to catch on. However, if I post something that should not be posted, then let me know. NICELY.
Otherwise my response will be: kiss my ass.

From my albeit baised perspective, it looks like you're reading way too much into what people are posting. For example, I may type something with what I believe to be a sincere tone, whereas you might perceive it to be grandiose and insulting.

Then again, maybe not. Please cite some examples of these 'immature posts'. I only recall one over the past couple months, by Kory.

What the frick (ty alli) was desertgrl talking about? Wasn't that a blog? And if I am a PITA (Pain in the Ass), what does that make you, with quite a few of worthless posts, that is starting to rival Kory's.

There are some very smart people on this board, of all ages and races. There are also some rather annoying people on the board, who have better qualities elsewhere. Everyone is good at something. Who died and made you god?? (or whatever religion you follow). Jeeeze!

Easy now.. I don't think desertgrl posted this in an attempt to start a flamewar, or even a discussion. You are right about it should have been a blog, or at least *not* offtopic, but I don't think anyone gives a poop.
You obviously feel offended, but I have the strong feeling she didn't mean you with her PITA descriprion

I don't know why I'm acting like staff now, 'cause I'd love to see a catfight, but I think Kat slightly misinterpretated desertgrl's post. or a rant. whatever you wanna call it. So uhm.. relax. or not.

Oh, and Kat.. I don't think anyone can rival Kory's posts.. seriously

Hmmm.... is this because of the post below? You get disconnected with WinXP... dang, I hate that. I get something similar with WinME whenever I install new software. My dial-up connection goes out the window. I've thought about upgrading to WinXP Pro (for other reasons to)... hmmm maybe I should post this in the message below.

Anyway... what I was going to say was the random quote on the post below was one of yours, and as it says:

"This forum is for people to enjoy and exchange ideas, not to carry on a useless flame war. You don't live next door and have to interact with those you can't stand. Ignore them. You'll be happier. " - desertgrl (BEST QUOTE EVER)

synchronicity or serendiptiy... the world is an interesting place

keep it real 
desertgrl: like, whatever.

maybe you are putting too much thaught into whatever you are thinking about, and thats bad news.

people are immature because A. most of us are at acceptable ages to be immature B. most of us are immature and dont care whether or not it is acceptable.

its all just peace. dont worry. dogs are forever in the push-up position.

caution - the solid ground that you are on will slide from under you

You are right. I wasn't even thinking of kat at all when I posted this so I am not sure what she's talking about? I'm sorry but I started laughing. I'm completely in the dark. Anyway, forget it. It's a new day.
