Nice job Sir. I don't know you personally but your heart is pure and I felt that way before seeing your brief videos by Ray. After seeing them I am 100% sure.
Regarding Blue Hog Ridr. I don't know him but I also think his heart is pure and I like him. I've read enough of his posts to believe strongly that his is a no nonsense kind of guy. Calls them as he sees them. His tolerance limit does not allow him to see much past black and white with very little grey scale. But that's ok too. He's just like my Uncle Tony. Different strokes...
Just remember that everyone grows a 'forum' personality over time. And everyone is different. Over time, by reading people's posts, you also learn who these various forum personalties are. Some people act differently on line then they do in real life. And some people make no distinction between their real life and their forum personalities. No right or wrong...again different strokes you know...
When I started making posts here I used to act differently then I was in real life. I would talk a lot of trash and sometimes I was pretty rude and would piss people off. I actually got formally reprimanded for it. What I said was out of line joke. You see, I have some friends from the Dakota's and they use this particular joke all the time. So I never thought it was that big of a deal. Until I used it in a thread that included an American Indian. I quickly learned what this term meant and realized that I was out of line. I only hope
What I learned in the process is four fold:
- First, it's not a very nice thing to say in general
- Second, something is lost in the translation when it's typed in a forum and not spoken in person, especially jokes, sarcasm and buddy talk
- Third, it's really difficult to pick up on someone's real personality in only seeing a few of their posts.
- Fourth, If you know them you can usually get a much clearer idea of what they really mean.
Fifth, trolls do exist. And sometimes normal people come across as trolls and visa versa..
Sixth, some people you will really like here and some people you will really dislike, even though they are not trolls..
So anyway, I've been trying to change my ways and so I modified my name as a symbol of improvement and politeness.
And that's all I got to say about that.
