Some I talked more than others. Matter of fact some of the people I talked to on skype I absolutely despise. Same with the chat room.
Anyway....
People make alliances on these boards, and it's pretty easy to see how some rely on these loyalties.
As far as skype, when you have a bedtime that's 7 pm, so that you can manage to get to work half the days out of the month, you can't afford that luxury. Not that I think anyone would really want to talk to me, given the barbs I've had thrown my way since I came on here. There are nice people here, but there are also snobs here. There are also uber-intellects here. There are a**holes here (Jercury and Piss Pitiful). But this is a free board. So I feel free to speak my mind like everyone else.
I would always be happy to talk to you... and I hope you recognize that I consider both you and Mercury my friends. I've told Mercury to lay off of you a few times....
This board is full of individuals, I see them as such. A few I can't stand. Others I try to avoid. A lot I appreciate. It's just a community -- you'll get the bad with the good.
Moniker, it wasn't my intention that you would take my comments so dear to heart. Like I said in my initial comment about cliques, the people that really bother me only take up about 10% of the board. With that said, I know that my tiffs with them have probably lessened my popularity with certain bystanders. Oh well, what can you do.
Haha, alliances...reminds me of an episode of survivor.
I have to say that I have more respect for the lighthearted individuals who when need be can get down to a good discussion more than those who feel that every platform is one for them to prove their mental ability. I personally don't understand why folks call you stupid on here, but hey, this is probably some "deserted island" somewhere...
I do appreciate your pleading with Mr. Merc to behave, but face it, those who have a belief in a higher power will never get respect from the likes of him. Not true respect. Folks like him don't understand the principle of at times when need be, favoring those who don't favor you. If the tables were turned and he came to me in need, I wouldn't remember how asenine he'd been (and no, I'm not bragging, I've been in this situation before). To me, it's just a person in need, not a person who doesn't believe in God, versus a person who does. I don't understand how people can base human decency on such things...but I'm just a child of 27 years.
Anyways, I need to look like I'm actually working for the remainder of this day. If I don't check in before tomorrow, here's a big
*hug* fer ya.
