Self Correction

Were you one of those kids who stirred ant beds with a stick?

 

I agree that you got called out, but ask yourself why and go from there. You could respond to the post and disagree with it, stating your case, instead of firing a rude salvo back. River didn't actually say that you are weak. The quote was "Seems a little weak to need to block people. And I’ve never understood the need to announce that you blocked."

You might take the quote in context and then disagree with it. I disagree with the weak notion, as I've blocked a couple posters in my time and didn't think it was due to weakness. You might disagree and state your case, but instead you wrote:

In your mind he was asking for it and maybe he was. Consider how different responses might be taken on his end.

1. I've always thought you were a weak poster. (Personally, I would dismiss this kind of rhetoric and tend to hold hard feelings against the person who posted it).
2. You seem to be calling me weak, but that's not the case. I actually find this move to be cathartic and sharing here made sense to me. (Personally, I would read this and at least take a min to think back on my post. Was I wrong?)

 

I can't believe you just called out those two far left attorneys like that

 

And you're the one who gets on a ladder with a broom to swat a hornet's nest, wonder why you got stung

 

Being as fearful of being stung as I was as a child, I can't say I ever did that, though I may have stirred an ant bed or two. But oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to even climb a ladder.

How about you, I think I recall you once posted you were transplanted from New York as a kid and raised in Hawthorne? Wasn't HHS's mascot the Hawthorne Hornets?

 

Great memory. 100% correct.
When I was 7 I walked right into one and got stung 12 times in the neck and face area. Had to be treated at the hospital, found out I was highly allergic to them. I have to keep an EpiPen just in case

 

Ouch! Hope you never need to use that pen, but it's nice to have one. My elder granddaughter keeps one with her in case she is exposed to peanuts or anything containing them.

 

Some posters are just so prolific that they either resemble bots or are bots like the Putinphile who joined here this year. Spammers annoy me.

 

Wow. Congratulations, that should make you the blockhead of the forum.

 

Brilliant!
