ok @Deej and @xDOMx , let me put it this way.
True story, as a kid at school I faced hostility, or tyranny, or bullyling you could call it that from two main sources - some people who maybe just didn't like me, or didn't like that I was different to them. The other was a group of people that maybe did like me, wanted me to be a part of their group but in order to be in the group it was necessary for me to be exactly like them. And I mean, exactly the like them, or at leaast the way they wanted me to be. I didn't relaly go for that and my friends ended up being a small group of people caught in a similar position perhaps, or at least we could respect each other for who we were at the time, now that i think about it.
I mitigated the situation by telling jokes and whatnot to get the rough bullies, older guys, to get off my back so they didn't rail on me quite as hard as they did on some others, and I said and idd just enough to appease the other group so they would also leave me alone basically.
We can't be jumping on each otherr constantly becuase "so and so didn't say things the way I like and so now I'm hurt, I don't like that" and we also can't be mean to people because "your bike is wack and your clothes suck" either.
I understand there's a time and place for everything/being serious - in case you didn't notice I wasn't wading around in the RIP TT thread tryihg to cause trouble even I know not to do that but incase you also didn't notice, it is a "sausage fest" in here (and not a baby weiner party I hope!) so maybe we should start acting like it! I mean that figuratively so don't go all nuts!!
For the record I said it before and I'll keep saying it if I have to - i'm here to have fun - I read this forum a bit a few years ago and I sensed a toxic atmosphere then maybe and I bugged out, straight got the fuck out of here then and whatever happened after taht well, I'm not going to go back for research. I ll take your word for it - but it's important we all understand how to get along. I don't know you well yet but I'm sure I'll find things to liek about everyone here even if we don't "see eye to eye" on everything. But I'l'l say what I think is true, I'll keep doing that. I expect the same from you guys too.
Ok rant:? over. Let's be fweends!!!
