Sorry, I forget that you have went through more experiences than the entire population of TST put together.
I should really put you in charge tbh.
Not entirely sure what the point of this was Aly. To me the last vestige of someone without a valid standpoint is an insult. Perhaps you would rather I just shut up and tow the party line?
I posted this on another thread, if people take issue with my life experience, that is their problem not mine. However, once you begin with insults, I have every right to then defend that. The majority of what I do here, is to contribute my thoughts and opinions to threads, in the most part making them out to be nothing more than that, based on my experiences.
What the hell else am I going to base my thoughts and opinions on exactly? Just because I choose to back them up in an evidential fashion, to try and put a point of view across, does not warrant insult.
In fact, as I pointed out in all of my posts in relation to this, I have the greatest respect for Craig, and the site, hence I choose to spend time here. That my friend is not warranted of insults.
EDIT:
Not without it's irony, I agree with James on moving this post to Guest Services ;D
There are things in regards to this site, and new members, that as a new member still (many posts or not), I think are not being taken on board I have to say.
The manner in which people with opposing, or at times, controversial views (as decided by the existing close membership) I can see putting people off.
I am a very thick skinned chap, and I have found this site extremely challenging at times. I saw another new member who left, being lauded about in the Shout Box a few days ago, I've seen new posters given short shrift. I try to be as easy as possible with new members, but happy to get stuck into the old guard who give as good as they get that's for sure.
There is however, way too much of what went on above. What precisely did I do, to deserve to be insulted? I couldn't give a hoot let's be clear, but how does that come across?
I have not had a single bad word to say against you Aly, quite the contrary in fact - so that came as a surprise I will admit. I have given you much respect for your achievements, but you find it acceptable to belittle mine?
Nice job mate.
Certain attitudes,
in my opinion, need to change on this site. Ironically of course, given my initial post about how something came across (note: I did not state it as a
fact just a
potential perception), I think Craig from what I have seen is doing a fantastic job.
