Yes, I see you spar with Sgt but either of you could stop that today. Only if you let it get to you & let that fester will it become what you have described. Pride can self destructive. Overcoming it can be liberating. You have options. Good luck with them whatever you decide. At least Rudy I know I’m an a-hole and admit it. He comes here to be the PC Police. He comes and searches out my posts to tells me how mean and bad I am. Others see it and say so to him and he thinks they are just taking my side. Like I’ve said before I’ve never physically met or personally know any members other than what they type on a post. I have emailed members and talked on the phone to one. He think I hate Canada. I love it. Went to Vancouver on my honeymoon. I can’t wait till it thaws out up there cause I want to go back to Toronto. Been trying to learn Ripple. Man Jerry plays a lot of notes and I’m a horrible player to boot. Edited February 4, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 A poem, then. ANGRY VILE POSTING Angry vile posting sure wears me down giving each other a roasting and running it into the ground Angry vile posting on the other hand is a boon to web hosting even if it gets people banned Because drama can be entertaining or so I am told posters fighting, squabbling, and complaining somehow it never grows old Angry vile posting I guess it's just how it is while the new visitors are ghosting, please forgive me for boasting, to all of you I'm toasting, with this glass of delightful Cristal fizz Okay, I'm gonna shut up now. 😔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Methinks we owe JVi a debt of gratitude for initiating this thread. It gave us a chance to talk about 'feelings' without using that vile word. Edited February 4, 2022 by fortyearspickn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overcoming it can be liberating. You have options. Good luck with them whatever you decide. Lots of wisdom in various posts here, some hidden under veneers of beer... but this one struck a chord. I've also found it not just 'liberating' but energizing when I'm aware enough of what my ego is telling my mind to think - to put the brakes on, and just let it go. A little more complicated than "Frozen", but has made it more pleasant in retirement, being under lockdown, etc. to be able to take a criticism, some passive aggressiveness or worse - and not get 'butt hurt'. Turn it around and say something nice to the launcher of the barb 5 minutes later. After awhile - that person realizes they are not getting the hoped for response of a witty, shyte response, and the sun comes out again. After months of this, it's almost always sunny all day long. Not possible here of course, on social media. So - All of your mothers wear combat boots ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 You now what I think is angry and vile is that when I sit down with the boys to watch a football game (if you even call it that in Detroit) and I see the "End Racism" stuff painted all over the place, yet I don't have a flipping thing to do with racism... WTH am I going to do about racism that I already am doing - i.e. not being a hateful racist on a daily basis and respecting people that I encounter that deserve it from me? Then you find out some of the richest people associated with the NFL are doing racist crap per the fake news networks... LMFAO! What bunch of garbage. Here's an idea, stop talking about racism! NFL is so garbage bag... Yet we can't talk about "bad" angry, vile stuff... Nature is not forgiving and teaches its students some "cruel" lessons. I must be a sad person though because I get "angry and vile". Maybe the PC world wants me to kiss some butts. Maybe they think I owe something to the "less fortunate"... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get especially offended by a particular ad by a group called "The AD Council" which does what you describe. Googled them. Just a small bunch of activists who figured out a way to get rich by fronting for smaller activist groups to produce TV ads for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ironic, don't you say... It's almost analogous to masochism - the people who buy into that crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 There's something to that Hawk. If not for racism, there'd be several people who would have gone unheard of and unseen and not making a ton of money by writing or talking about it. Or loudly publicly denouncing it.

Social media outlets, and this is one of them, are the source that generates almost all the negativity. Not so much these kind of forums, but just look at the cesspool facebook is But it's also in the ranks of the media, It really IS everywhere and, that's right.. it is not ok.

I didn't know BLM was a guy, but I getcha. And that's the point I was making earlier up there. Sharpton and Jackson were already making livings as preachers, but nobody ever heard of them outside of their congregations until they started showing up at times to protest some racial motivated crime or police action. I can't fault them for that, as it needed to be addressed. But it led Jackson to be considered as a potential presidential candidate some years back, and netted Sharpton a lucrative job at MSNBC.
