I dont care a F**k if I get slagged

There is a certain forum etiquette that everyone has to figure out when they join but common courtesy should be something you come here with and not have to learn.

 

Steve, you need to learn to have a thicker skin. Most of all the comments that I think you are referring to were just opinions. You take everything as a personal attack even if there is none intended.

There was no need for this.

 

Segue, In my opinion, there WAS. Steve seems to want to cause trouble on this site. Call it attention whoring or Drama Queening or whatever you wish to, but when someone comes on here and trashes one of the good people here, it pisses me off. I think this person needs to find somewhere else to 'do his thing'.

Yes I take your comment on board very much. I am not used to social media and I accept that I have acted badly. All I can try to do now is take on board the advice and comments people have made. I do not have a time machine to go back, I will try to do better. That is all I can do

OK I accept your comment but honestly you have got me completely wrong. I got very depressed one time and came on the forum and made some inappropriate comments. I got a monumental bollocking from admin and have tried to send messages to apologise to those who I upset and resolve to never come on the forum when I feel like this ever again OK. Doesn't everyone deserve a chance? and does this sound like the actions of a Troll to you??? If so then I am sorry to have bothered you.

You are quite wrong, I hate getting slagged, it upsets me very much. That thread was completely stupid of me when I was drunk and very depressed about access to my son from my ex. I do not wish to make any excuse but you get me totally wrong

[Steve Smith]

Steve, first off, you'll notice that we moved four of your threads from the Rush section into Random Samples because they weren't Rush-related. There are lots of different sections on the board covering a wide range of interests. Take some time to get to know them so you can post on topic.

 

Please dont be flippant about mental illness though, I have suffered for many years up and down. I have apologised about my comment about Segue, I was out of order. If you wish to know, then I was looking at pictures of me with my ex and little boy and got very down and drunk, I should not have come on the forum under those circumstances.

 

That last sentence is key. When you're not doing well, no matter the reason (depressed, drunk, whatever), you come on here and you become a disruption. It's good that you recognize that you shouldn't have come on here in the bad state you were in, but now you have to back that up and stay off the board the next time you're in such a state. Otherwise you're not going to last long here.

 

Also I will try to make sure any further threads I start will be made in the relevant section. However I would stand by my assertion that the Genesis thread was relevant to the Rush forum as it was meant to ask about comparisons between the two bands which I both love and believe have a lot in common. Perhaps my mistake was in the way I named the thread.

 

Thanks

OK Admin, I take your comments on board and I can only apologise. I will take your advice in future. I feel slightly humbled about that but I accept that you are a very tolerant person. However I also have to say that there are a lot of very nasty trolling comments here that have been made to me (and others). Sarcastic and most of the time not very clever, most of the time I have not risen to the bait. So please do not lump me in a category all on my own

 

Thanks

 

Steve

 

Your judgment has proven to be very suspect so I think it's best if you point out EXACTLY which were the "very nasty trolling comments". Of course, you can do that in a personal message to 1001001 if you don't want to do that in front of everyone.

 

Just in case:

I say your judgement is suspect because on several occasions you've misinterpreted what someone was saying and/or thinking.

 

I so much wish that I had just a fraction of your much superior intellect Johnny

 

I thought you might say something like that

 

Look Johnny

 

You obviously don't like me

 

I resorted to sarcasm against my better judgement because it seems to be the only thing you know.

 

I messed up very badly yes, I am not very proud of myself and I have received a bollocking from admin which I will take into account and try very hard not to repeat anything like that ever again. I have tried to apologise to those I have upset. I do not have a time machine unfortunately so I can not go back sadly.

 

I did not mention anyone in my post to admin, so I do find your message a bit unfair.

 

Let us just agree to differ and not have further contact. We are all different and nobody gets on with everyone.

 

Please take this message in the honest way is intended

 

Thanks Johnny

 

Best Regards genuinely

 

Steve

 

Steve

 

So "sarcasm is the only thing" I know and I "obviously don't like" you?

Yet, in this thread:

 

http://www.therushfo...ockwork-angels/

 

....you completely came out of nowhere to try and rip me?

Then, I was supposed to apologize to you for something i didn't even know what you're talking about? Is that possible?

 

I can't dislike you because: I DON'T KNOW YOU.

 

What I DON'T like is some rambling drunk trying to rip and badger me. And you even admitted to being drunk at the time of those weird posts. So if that wasn't you, but some drunk version of you instead, yeah I can believe it. But I'm not taking crap from that type of person.

 

Ok Johnny

 

I don't want to retread old ground.

 

But you need to listen to Johnny. I've ignored this thread for ages for no particular reason. I've never had an issue with you, as I can tell you are damaged and in need of understanding.

 

But your ripping me to shreds in the opening post was astonishing. I don't understand why, drunk or not, such thoughts would come into your mind directed towards me.

 

I can't say I'm hurt or disappointed as I feel this is an honest reflection of who you are. Broken and insecure. It's something I am sure in person I would have empathy for, but even then only to a certain point.

 

I've shared far too much about myself here on this forum in recent months. I do regret it. But at the same time, I know the darkness I have faced and the horror is extreme no matter what way you decide to look at it. To even have you in a drunk state choose to think in such an unkind and frankly selfish manner makes me think you are totally broken down inside.

 

The fact you choose to apologise and NOT delete your comments does make me question the integrity of your apologies. When I've been unkind and feel regret, I try and delete said comments and my apologies are far more personal than yours.

 

You really went off the deep end with your attitude. If it were me who spoke to someone whose going through what I'm going through, honestly? I'd feel like a pig and I'd really seek to do more than brown nose my way into someone's good books.

 

I have felt strong remorse for my words with GNP, Fraroc and even Lorraine and Narps during my time here. No matter how much you feel hurt you have inside, no matter how much you have drunk, no matter how much you dislike somebody, there is never any justification for the sort of verbal abuse you gave me in that opening message. I can tell you are not quite right. I feel you are too consistently insecure in the way you ramble to believe you are an Internet troll. And in a way I actually do like you.

 

But you cannot excuse bad behaviour for being a jerk. You can explain what lead to you being in that mindset, but an apology cannot rest merely on excuses.

 

For example, I was very unkind towards GNP. I meant what I said in most cases, but I regret the tone in which I wrote my words. I know why I was so cold that day. But that doesn't change the nature of my posts and won't relieve the hurt I possibly caused.

 

I accept she may never like me. I won't brown nose my way into her good books.

 

You've given ample reason for members on this forum to dislike you. For someone in your shoes that's not a nice thing to go through. So stop drawing attention to yourself in every thread, stop extending apologies to page after page, leave a mistake be by settling a difference and just moving on.

 

Like JB, I won't take your unkindness as something I should learn to accept. You are way out of line at times and you need to show more humility and also chill out.

 

Many of us are damaged. We don't need to spread that damage to every thread on this forum.

 

Segue

 

I am sorry. Please does not everyone deserve a chance??? I messed up and I am trying very hard to make amends.

 

Please read the message I sent to you on "Anxiety and Depression". I empathise with you more than you know

[Disk98]

Steve, I don't think anyone here cares for your countless desperate apologies. And I don't mean that to be a jerk, I mean it as in, no one is particularly angry or necessarily looking for an apology. You've addressed that you messed up, now shape up. That's all. :)

To even have you in a drunk state choose to think in such an unkind and frankly selfish manner makes me think you are totally broken down inside.

 

The fact you choose to apologise and NOT delete your comments does make me question the integrity of your apologies. When I've been unkind and feel regret, I try and delete said comments and my apologies are far more personal than yours.

 

You really went off the deep end with your attitude. If it were me who spoke to someone whose going through what I'm going through, honestly? I'd feel like a pig and I'd really seek to do more than brown nose my way into someone's good books.

 

I have felt strong remorse for my words with GNP, Fraroc and even Lorraine and Narps during my time here. No matter how much you feel hurt you have inside, no matter how much you have drunk, no matter how much you dislike somebody, there is never any justification for the sort of verbal abuse you gave me in that opening message. I can tell you are not quite right. I feel you are too consistently insecure in the way you ramble to believe you are an Internet troll. And in a way I actually do like you.

 

But you cannot excuse bad behaviour for being a jerk. You can explain what lead to you being in that mindset, but an apology cannot rest merely on excuses.

 

For example, I was very unkind towards GNP. I meant what I said in most cases, but I regret the tone in which I wrote my words. I know why I was so cold that day. But that doesn't change the nature of my posts and won't relieve the hurt I possibly caused.

 

I accept she may never like me. I won't brown nose my way into her good books.

 

You've given ample reason for members on this forum to dislike you. For someone in your shoes that's not a nice thing to go through. So stop drawing attention to yourself in every thread, stop extending apologies to page after page, leave a mistake be by settling a difference and just moving on.

 

Like JB, I won't take your unkindness as something I should learn to accept. You are way out of line at times and you need to show more humility and also chill out.

 

Many of us are damaged. We don't need to spread that damage to every thread on this forum.

 

Segue

 

I am sorry. Please does not everyone deserve a chance??? I messed up and I am trying very hard to make amends.

 

Please read the message I sent to you on "Anxiety and Depression". I empathise with you more than you know

 

I know you are, and I have noticed. I don't have any hard feelings I just wanted to make the clear that I don't accept such talk. In very much the same way, I don't expect others to do so with me either.

 

I think, as you say you are new to social media, it may take you a little time to back down a little and ease into lighthearted banter and general chit chat. But you strike me as a good guy at heart, very delicate but not truly unkind.

 

The fact I am so kind to you is because your opening message struck me, not as merely off colour, but very much out of character. So...forget about this thread and try and relax more.

Steve. Of COURSE you don't care if you get 'Slagged'. You LOVE getting slagged. In your eyes, you've elicited a reaction you were hoping for in the first place! You need to get HELP. A qualified Psychaitrist would be a FANASTIC START!

OK I accept your comment but honestly you have got me completely wrong. I got very depressed one time and came on the forum and made some inappropriate comments. I got a monumental bollocking from admin and have tried to send messages to apologise to those who I upset and resolve to never come on the forum when I feel like this ever again OK. Doesn't everyone deserve a chance? and does this sound like the actions of a Troll to you??? If so then I am sorry to have bothered you.

 

I have heard the very same actions from many trolls. You don't convince me, but as they say, 'The truth will out!' Here's your chance! Good luck!

Steve, first off, you'll notice that we moved four of your threads from the Rush section into Random Samples because they weren't Rush-related. There are lots of different sections on the board covering a wide range of interests. Take some time to get to know them so you can post on topic.

 

Please dont be flippant about mental illness though, I have suffered for many years up and down. I have apologised about my comment about Segue, I was out of order. If you wish to know, then I was looking at pictures of me with my ex and little boy and got very down and drunk, I should not have come on the forum under those circumstances.

 

That last sentence is key. When you're not doing well, no matter the reason (depressed, drunk, whatever), you come on here and you become a disruption. It's good that you recognize that you shouldn't have come on here in the bad state you were in, but now you have to back that up and stay off the board the next time you're in such a state. Otherwise you're not going to last long here.

 

Also I will try to make sure any further threads I start will be made in the relevant section. However I would stand by my assertion that the Genesis thread was relevant to the Rush forum as it was meant to ask about comparisons between the two bands which I both love and believe have a lot in common. Perhaps my mistake was in the way I named the thread.

 

Thanks

OK Admin, I take your comments on board and I can only apologise. I will take your advice in future. I feel slightly humbled about that but I accept that you are a very tolerant person. However I also have to say that there are a lot of very nasty trolling comments here that have been made to me (and others). Sarcastic and most of the time not very clever, most of the time I have not risen to the bait. So please do not lump me in a category all on my own

 

Thanks

 

Steve

 

Your judgment has proven to be very suspect so I think it's best if you point out EXACTLY which were the "very nasty trolling comments". Of course, you can do that in a personal message to 1001001 if you don't want to do that in front of everyone.

 

Just in case:

I say your judgement is suspect because on several occasions you've misinterpreted what someone was saying and/or thinking.

 

I so much wish that I had just a fraction of your much superior intellect Johnny

 

I thought you might say something like that

 

Look Johnny

 

You obviously don't like me

 

I resorted to sarcasm against my better judgement because it seems to be the only thing you know.

 

I messed up very badly yes, I am not very proud of myself and I have received a bollocking from admin which I will take into account and try very hard not to repeat anything like that ever again. I have tried to apologise to those I have upset. I do not have a time machine unfortunately so I can not go back sadly.

 

I did not mention anyone in my post to admin, so I do find your message a bit unfair.

 

Let us just agree to differ and not have further contact. We are all different and nobody gets on with everyone.

 

Please take this message in the honest way is intended

 

Thanks Johnny

 

Best Regards genuinely

 

Steve

 

Steve

 

So "sarcasm is the only thing" I know and I "obviously don't like" you?

Yet, in this thread:

 

http://www.therushfo...ockwork-angels/

 

....you completely came out of nowhere to try and rip me?

Then, I was supposed to apologize to you for something i didn't even know what you're talking about? Is that possible?

 

I can't dislike you because: I DON'T KNOW YOU.

 

What I DON'T like is some rambling drunk trying to rip and badger me. And you even admitted to being drunk at the time of those weird posts. So if that wasn't you, but some drunk version of you instead, yeah I can believe it. But I'm not taking crap from that type of person.

 

Ok Johnny

 

I don't want to retread old ground.

 

But you need to listen to Johnny. I've ignored this thread for ages for no particular reason. I've never had an issue with you, as I can tell you are damaged and in need of understanding.

 

But your ripping me to shreds in the opening post was astonishing. I don't understand why, drunk or not, such thoughts would come into your mind directed towards me.

 

I can't say I'm hurt or disappointed as I feel this is an honest reflection of who you are. Broken and insecure. It's something I am sure in person I would have empathy for, but even then only to a certain point.

 

I've shared far too much about myself here on this forum in recent months. I do regret it.

You are very kind and understanding to give me a chance. I promise that I will improve and I have no excuses. you are a good person and I will not blame my unacceptable comments on my depression.

 

However, there are still those here who think I am a troll.

 

Only time can remedy that

 

Thank you Segue

 

Take care
