Russ ! On a stall problem

From : artbust

Q: all ive done is try share some experience and to gain a bit of knowledge which seems to be denied to me and anyone else reading the thread. budd i too am happy to see your back and read that your health has improved. but.... read over the threads you have been involved in since your return. some you have shared knowledge others..well in others it has been arguments with the same people you argued with before. true but with jerry and he refuses to accept the truth i was trying to learn something but he chooses not to share knowledge. but what you may consider the truth he may not. you have to accept that. that is just the way it is. no point going over it time and time again. one can accept anothers experiences without insinuating that person is lying. perhaps but it is only a insiuation. dont be so thin skinned. imho im not thin skinned but everyone of us on this earth have things we cannot tolerate having said or done about us. i worked my butt off all my life to build and maintain a good reputation. why shouldnt i get mad when someone who wasnt even there when i did what i claim tells me directly or indirectly that im a liar or that i dont know anything sorry i went the pacifist route for 20 years and got my face ground in the mud for it as for it being the truth i do not tell lies when it comes to my experiences. i dont need to its been an incredible adventure. ive done more than the average person because ive accepted every challenge as they came. heres what i do. those that piss me off or that i think are total assholes i ignore. i dont respond to them at all. i dont use the kf i just ignore them. actually it is only one so it is pretty easy to do. also as time goes by fewer and fewer people respond to him. i prefer to get along with people denny and bryan foust have met me in person and i try to avoid arguments but it will always get my goat when im told the things ive done in my life are lies. you are the only one that know what you have done over the years. it matters not whether people believe you or not. further if they dont so what it dont mean jack shit. because i am quite proud with what ive accomplished in spite of coming from a poor family. because i was raised to defend my honor to the death if need be as well as the honor of my friends and family. old fashioned yes but its me. most people have done things they are proud of no matter where they came from. but it does not matter here. sorry roy but imho thats part of the problem in here and in the world no one is supposed top be proud of lifting themselves up and improving themselves or being proud theyve done some more or different from everyone else. ya cant let folks bait you by what they write. they are simply pushing your buttons and you provide the desired reaction. maybe but they need to consider what kind of a person would take pleasure from causing distress to another human being. the really weird part is that many that have done to me in the past brag about how much they care for their fellow man so what!! some people are ass holes ignore them!!! different people do different things some are bullys some are not. you make a decision to respond to the people that you precieve have done this. by responding nothing is accomplished imo. just more of the same. well i see this is a point you and i will disagree on. yes i decide who i respond to and how i respond to them. and there have been times i have ignored remarks and names that if the person was to call me that to their face theyd get a knuckle sandwich. otoh there are some in this group that care so little about others that they dont even realize when they insult someone in some fashion. sorry the pixels form words and words have meanings and meaning can insult and harm. there are always people that you arent going to get along with no matter what ya do. trying to get along with them will give ya heartburn. so ya just dont play with them. sorta like a 12 step program. ya gotta realize what ya can and cant control here all ya can control is yourself. i understand and ive run into that type in other groups but i have to be who i am. please take this in the spirit in which it was intended. i think i have and i still like you . . .for some dumb reason. vbg good!! ya gotta cause im older! g yeah older dont make ya smarter. sure it does at least in this case. im not involved in bs with 3 or 4 people no roy it just means youre older and choose not to get into them since you and i are two different people. instead you choose to do something like this. but im going to ask something you dont want to answer. it takes more than one to continue or even start an argument. i reasonably sure others here can be offended by things said by someone else. so far in the past few years not you nor anyone else has cho
