Sean,

I am going to go enjoy a wonderful day with my family and in-laws today. We are going to a WWII museum and then have a late lunch.

I have no need or want to sit and listen to your bull**** all day.

You should read Debi's post. In a nice, polite way she explained to the poster what the attack posse is all about.

She did not have to use humor or sarcasm in any way to explain herself.

I find you sad and pathetic sean.

Glad you have a long boring day. Maybe you will have time to reflect and see that you are no longer any use to this forum. You seem like a very smart man that could do a lot of good for many people here if you would just stop TRYING to be the funny man of the forums.

Have a good day, and appreciate what Memorial day is all about. You are correct in that aspect.

In other words, I think Seana is trying to Sean to leave this forum - I really don't think thats for her to decide!

NOT ONCE DID I SAY HE SHOULD LEAVE.

Learn to read buddy! I would never tell someone to leave, and I at least have the nerve to leave a name with my posts!

You were implying that Sean should leave, "buddy", by saying that Sean was "no longer of any use to the forum". Do you see? Its not rocket science...

And whats this "at least I have the nerve to leave a name" business? I've not registered on this forum, and have little inclination to either, but if makes you feel better, whenever I post I'll sign off with the quickly thought of pseudonym, Mr C.

Some people cannot register due to using public computers or work computers. I usually do not have a problem with the anons, unless they are outright name calling. So if someone doesn't want to leave their name, they shouldn't have to. Its all about privacy. And I definitly think Sean is an asset to the forum. After all, he is in his 30s, so he is an older CFer and I can learn from him. He also brought to life Oregano Oil, which a lot of us are using now with benefits. And I have to say, that on a lousy day, Sean's humour makes me laugh.

Sounds to me like some people on this forum have suppressed anger issues. When someone jokes using sacarasm frequently, that speaks of hidden rage.
Just a newbie thinking of joining this dysfunctional family. Still thinking if it is worth it.

"When someone jokes using sacarasm frequently, that speaks of hidden rage." - Since when does different humour mean rage?

I don't think jokes with sarcasm is hidden rage. I joke like Sean does all the time with family and friends. Its what I'm known for, and its not seen as a bad thing. Just becuase Sean's personality is not like yours doesn't mean that he has hidden rage. Please, can we all just stop judging each other by what we read, and just let bygones be bygones? There's no need for a physch consult. No one needs to tell anyone they have hidden issues.

All opinions aside, I think this forum is great. Like life, you have to take some of the opinions here with a grain of salt. So you don't care for the opinion of someone on here, or you don't like someone on here. Its like life. We can't all get along swimmingly with each other. Its a public forum, therefor LOTS of different opinions.

Mandi, welcome to the site.

You missed a big fiasco a few weeks ago where I am the one that actually conined the term "attack posse" for a few members on the forum because that's how I (personally) felt they were treating others. Attacking others, especially some new people in their posts for asking questions or being a little sensitive as CF is still a new subject to them.

So, they decided to make humor out of the situation (which is fine) but as Debi pointed out, a lot of people who are coming on now, or who visit infrequently don't understand what happened and why the sig. is there. And then when you do ask a legit. question about it, you get a smartass answer like you did.

Since then, in my opinion things seem to have calmed down and the treatment of everyone has been a little better. Not without some input from others like littledebbie's thread (which was great) and someting from the moderator.

Seems to me you just wanted a straight answer about why the sig. was there. I hope a few of us have answered your question.

And don't take off your caps. if you like writing with them. Some people write in all caps, some people type in all caps. We all need to respect eachothers differences. And I don't believe that yours is offensive to anyone, it's just caps.

Seana, big surprise that I have to agree with you <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. I'm NOT TELLING ANYONE TO LEAVE, LET ME MAKE THAT PERFECTLY CLEAR. But there does come a point (in my opinion) when a person is more of a problem maker than they are of any use to the site or to a majority of the people on the site. Humor is fine, but haven't we all figured out when it's warranted and when it's not? I just don't understand why some people can't simply see that it's a serious question.

Sean, you know I don't like you and I know the feeling is mutual. But that aside, I am an adult and can still speak rationally to you. Can you please be nice to people on this site, especially the new posters who are still learning everyone and what everything is about? I don't think it's an unreasonable request. You have the potential to make yourself useful but in my opinion, all you do is continue to create animosity.
I personally don't have a problem with threads that you start that turn into pointless nothings sometimes, or posts that some of your friends start that just turn into joking back and fourth and such. Even if it's off topic, oh well, you are just making jokes and you aren't taking away from anyone elses question or needs. But why can't you just back off the posts that are of serious nature or a real question? Not everything in life requires a smartass answer. and if you do have something constructive to input, then by all means you ought to do it. But people are really really offended by your responses 9 times out of 10.

Heh life is all about sunchronicity too. Doing a round I was walking by the cubicle farms, and one of the phone chicks, RIGHT when I was walking by her cubicle, RIGHT when I was thinking of this, said "is there anything else I can do for you today?" and I actually giggled out loud (GOL'd?).


Nah but seriously, i'm not inherantly a mean person. I don't hide hidden rage with sarcasm or whatever. I, like others can get angry in real life, and am capable of snapping and becoming violent in real life, but this isn't "real life", and certainly one shouldn't let things off the net bother you. I've let things off the net actually get to me maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life.


If anything, i'm guilty of toying with people. I get accused of it in real life here and there. It's like, "Are you my type? Let's see". How do you think I have gotten along so well with people like Jane, Amy, Liz, and several others? Same principle. Other times I just shake my head and ask myself "Now I wonder if they asked themself that before they typed it first" or something equivalent.


As per this instance in particular, she was asking questions about a ficticious organization, questions I couldn't answer. I honestly didn't want to bring up where it came from. To me it was so painfully blatantly obviously a goof that noone could not see it as such. I never claimed to be as care bear as many others, but I will say I am not mean. If someone sincerely needs help or asks something I can help with and know about, I help them. On the other hand, if someone sees my sig (something if I was brand new I would know was silly and BS btw) and posts their own thread, in all caps to boot, asking what our members in our ficticious organization stand for...Is that not too ripe of a target not to answer in a silly fashion? Sorry, it's just way too tempting for me and my personality to be goofy/sarcastic with.

If that makes me a vile evil "Fat kid with internal issues", heh, I guess. Whatever. It's the internet, learn to chill out. Realize that if you step onto the playground and see another kid sitting on the swingset wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt, and you are new, and state "You like Def Leppard huh?", well 3 of the 5 kids might say "Yeah he likes Def Leppard", the 4th might just look at you and wonder why you didn't notice that already, while the 5th kid might say what the 4th kid is feeling. That doesn't make him mean.

My example is not describing what just took place, it's discussing what often takes place on here, and the social dynamics of what often results, which turns into a usual drama poo fight. Which is almost always started by an estrogen based lifeform BTW (and i'm going to start counting to make it official)...And no hate on the ladies, but i'm thinkin you girls really dig the online drama.

<img src="">Sean- Thank you so very much for your info. on how to un-lock the caps key.......although I am not an un-educated person at all and i'm sure that if it came down to it, my knowledge would prevail highly over yours. But, I did not mean to begin a "war" on the forum at all, I only saw the "sig" from you and wanted to know what it was about, I certainly did not expect to recieve such sarcastic replies. I suppose that my humor isn't at such a low level and anyone who knows me knows that I am a very personable person with a terrific sense of humor- just not when it comes down to making jokes at the expense of others. For those of you who answered me with respect, I appreciate that very much. I don't want to "offend" anyone because everyone has their own way of expressing things- I am no different. So, from now on, I will only ask questions that I can relate to the answers I am given. SORRY!!!!!!!!!
OH- BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HAVE A PROB. WITH CAPS., I USE THEM OFTEN WHEN E-MAILING AND SUCH-IF IT BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH, SCROLL DOWN AND DON'T READ WHAT I WRITE.

Anyways aside from what I have stated, I refuse to play along any further and let any other drama further nurture.

I don't have problems with Caps, but I think for a lot of people caps comes off as yelling, or anger.

I also don't think that when it comes down to it, we should have a "who's smarter or better then the next person" contest. We're all people with lifes. We're all equals. No one is smarter then the next, and no one is "better" then the next. We come here to share an experience that we all deal with: CF. We really don't need to name call or say that we're better then anyone. That's what I'm getting sick of on this forum, the people who come on here and say 'oh well, I'm better then you', or 'well you're useless to this forum', or blah blah blah. It gets tiring after awhile don't you think. I guess in a perfect world, I wish we could politly get along with each other, but we all know that's not the case with this site.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Anyways, sorry you got the treatment you did Mandi. I hope that you will continue to post and reply around here. Not everyone is like that, pretty much just SeanDavis. Sorry that was your experience for just asking a simple question.

Turn those caps back on, I like them <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
