Title: An apology to Richard
Post by: Queen Victoria on September 28, 2010, 03:53:45 PM
I'm sorry.  I apologize for my criticism of your post.  My post was done in anger and should not have been posted.  I will try to keep the hurt I caused you as a lesson in my mind when I comment on posts in the future.  Again, I'm sorry.

I did it because I felt it was the right and fair thing to do.  I may or may not like a person or everything he or she does, but I do have to treat them with some kindness and respect.  It's not always easy to humble myself, but it's what I do to live with myself.

richard I assumed that if I was in ignored status that any pm I sent you would automatically be rejected by the computer system.  I had considered asking one of the other members here to forward my private apology to you, but I didn't want to put someone else in an awkward position.   I really am not looking for karma points in this, just harmony in my life and a way of taking away some of the hurt I caused you. 

I won't belabor or drag out this thread.  I hope we can be civil with each other, which is my goal now.

Richard is a wank and rock obsessed dickhead with a penchant for posting like an arsehole. I think he actually combines his favourite two past times (wanking and Rocks) in unhealthy ways.

This could however be a malicious rumour I just made up then.

I hope he is not leaving. I like him and his posts (well, not everything, but then, that was never a prerequisite). I know he doesn't get along with some here but it's not my problem.

Incidentally I happen to like a lot of the people who dislike Richard as well. so either I'm crazy or I have no taste. You pick. ;)

I never particularly disliked him, even though he tended to write a lot of crap. He obviously couldn't take a joke the way some others could, and seemed to chuck a tanti when things didn't go his way. Shit, we all poke shit at one another, and most of us can have a laugh at it.

Strange though how he always replied to those he had ignored. Curiosity must have bitten his Peter.

I quite like him, but the problem is that he says so much bizare stuff it's hard not to respond to it and try and have a laugh with him about it, but he just takes it all too personally.

He'd be a funny guy if he learned to laugh at himself. Sadly I find myself walking on eggshells around his posts. He gets butthurt too easily.

My comment about everyone putting shit on everyone else was more of a generalization, but it does happen. People here do gang up on others, but mostly it's meant to be in fun. Richard obviously couldn't see that, so cracked the shits and went into a hissing fit. The thing PPK is talking about is proof in point.

You must be new to the internet. Believe me, people's entire lives can be destroyed by the internet and that's the second worse case scenario. The worst case scenario is that it can spill over into IRL if people are stupid/determined enough, and someone ends up getting abducted, raped and/or murdered, in some cases in that order, srsly. Of course I'm refering to pedos and stalkers as a prime example.

I have heard of people getting killed from someone online, people getting stalked online and cyber bullied, being outed in real life from online, losing your job over what you do online like posting something on facebook, and people have used information against their ex what they post online. That happened with my friend on WP, his ex was taking all his posts he make and use them against him in court to manipulate the judge. All serious business.

As DW a Mom says, what you post online isn't private and it's there for life unless the forum gets deleted.

Ways to protect yourself:

Never post your first and last name

Make your facebook profile private and don't allow any co workers on your friends list nor your boss

Never tell people in real life your user names you go by online

Always use a different email address than you do in real life

Use a email address to register on forums, not the one you use in real life when you apply for jobs

Use a different user name for each forums/websites you go to (this prevents people spying on you)

Use a different email address for each forum you register on (this prevents people spying on you)

Never tell people your other user names you use at other places



Yep these are tips I came up with but I don't follow them all. I only follow two of them and that is posting your first and last name and saying what your usernames are online. I never do that.

Of course you're right. It can spill over into real life. Since I've started using the forum my family have totally warned me off meeting anybody, or even giving out my address. They're even a bit pissed off that I give out the town that I live in.
Bit of a shame really, because I had been thinking about trying internet dating, but I've been told not to even think about it. So, if I decide to try it I'm going to have to keep it a secret, which then makes it more dangerous :)

That's the one thing that worries me most. It would not be a good thing where I live. That's why it's a good thing nobody from this site knoows who I am in real life, and that nobody I know in real life(other than my cousin) is likely to read this site.
In a funny kind of way it's like two totally different worlds that I would never want to clash.

Anonymity is an illusion when using this kind of technology. If you would not say it / do it / feel it IRL, best not to do it at all.

Even on the internet, we still have to live with our actions/consequences.

That is what I tell my son.

Mr Schledge I totally agree with the social cues bit. Strangely, I realised that I actually rely more on tone of voice than I thought I did, as I still miss the mark with facial expression and body language occasionally(more than occasionally actually). I have often gotten in to hot water, not intending to, by the lack of tone of voice. And even smileys elude me generally.

I try to be very, very careful. But it can be distressing working this hard. That is why I like to get to know people online as quickly as possible, so I don't fuck up too badly. I am very "dry" at times online, as well as in IRL, but the people that know me, don't get weird about it.  ;)

That's pretty cool. I've read success stories on the dating sites, but I've always just assumed them to be BS. I've never actually known of anybody who's had a marriage from an internet dating site. My best friend, who lives with me is hassling me to go on a dating site to meet guys. She says she'd go with me to make sureeverything goes OK. She still thinks I'm straight though :). Obviously I don't want to meet guys.
I want to do it to meet girls but my aunt and uncle have warned me off doing that. Given my limited social life, and the small town mentallity of the place I live, the chances of meeting a gay woman in real life who's single and with whom there's a mutual attraction seems at best remote.
I think my only realistic chance of having a relationship is probably through the internet, but the thought of doing it scares the crap out of me, and it means going against my family. One day I'll probably pluck up the courage to do it though :viking:

No. If you say you met your hubby through a forum then I believe you and wouldn't say it's BS. What I meant was when I read the testamonials on any dating site I don't really know if they're real stories or just the site making up BS to try and persuade people to use their site.

So do I. Exept I come across as more than a bit thick. I seem to appear subnormal. I have a habit of saying stupid sarcastic things that I think are funny, and then everyone assuming I was serious and that I'm just really thick. I've done it once or twice online here recently aswell :-[

Yeah. It would be a bit stupid of me to call people liars because they say they met their partner over the net. I doubt if anyone would lie about that.
It's the same when I read agony aunt columns. I'm never sure if it's real people with problems, or if the agony aunt has just made up questions so that they've got something interesting to write about.

I met my partner through a work intranet board, and we have been together for about 10 years. Took us awhile to get together, as we both live on the other side of the country.

IRL I'm probably not much different to here.

I met GalileoAce on the internet. We had a disagreement about Star Trek. Then we got to know each other and I travelled across to Melbourne to meet him and we had a great time.


Those are some good points that you posted, Kit. :plus:

I started out apologizing to Richard and this thread got turned into a matchmaking service.  Sheesh.
