Tired of negitive replies

I have quit this forum no less than 3 times. If you want to know whats wrong with america go to an article about anything political and read the comments people leave.
 
Personally I never like to draw the line in the sand and have seen many forum members get frustrated and say they are leaving. Sadly there is no where to go!

Marcus:

Just stay out of NPR. NPR is the /dev/null (or NUL: device) of the AZBilliards forums. It's the veritable bit-bucket of the azbilliards.com domain. It's only good for one thing ("good" is a relative term) -- and that is, once you cross the vent horizon into NPR, you are trapped there until your post count reaches five figures, at which point you have enough strength to escape the tremendous gravity of this black hole.

Just "do a Nancy Reagan" when confronted with the opportunity to go to NPR. That's one less source of negativity to affect you.

Agreed.

It's a vortex from which you must fight to be able to escape.

If you have nothing positive to post shut the **** up!
This will be my last post on this forum.

Pretty negative last post. Ironic.

Wish you well, measureman.

I was complimenting your post...

Sure you were, perhaps in your opinion.

Lots of people take breaks, some quietly, some out of frustration, some due to life changes. Some come back, a rare few don't. I've never, to my memory, had a bad word to say about him or to him. Why would I start now?

Mark was right in the Podcast, people are wound up far too tightly these days. Calling me stupid doesn't exactly rank up there with positivity.

Calling you stupid was never posted by me.
But that's all part of the "honest" misunderstanding games people play.
Like sarcastic reply's followed by, you misunderstood my intention, seriously!
 
Npr

NPR serves a purpose on this forum: It keeps some trolls busy on their side of the fence. Unfortunately, there are some, like pocketpoint, who like to cause trouble in the main forum.
 
I've never played angry birds but, NPR may just be the angry people version.
Did my little tour of duty there myself.

Just the same, offensive remarks along with bated topics in NPR is rather subjective.
As the forum rules read I don't think most people have to look very far to find questionable violations.
In part forums are simply reflection of its moderators.

I'll reference Ghosst signature about jacking off a horse.
"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

It seems to me that should qualify as "vulgar" or "sexually-oriented" But that's simply my opinion. Apparently it doesn't violate the forum rules.

Well perhaps it is a bit beyond your comprehension level.

Your dismissal of your own guilt and the personal attacks are the very negativity that drives people away. "How am I supposed to follow", is a commonly used expression of flattery. Read a book, watch a movie, it's all around.

PS: This :rolleyes: emoticon ... hover over it on the side of the reply box. There is a word in parenthesis after it. Now read your "apology" and then read the word. Do it three or four times.

I'll help you out: "I may have to apologize for my last post (Sarcastic)." Yep, picture of positivity there.

I don't want your apology.

You never had it, it was a sarcastic remark.
In the same vein as your sarcastic remark about my post of a very well known poem / prayer about people taking a step back and doing a bit of self evaluation.

At least I don't try to cover that fact as you did, claiming you were complimenting my post.

Since you found it to be offensive, I'm certainly happy to change my signature. In the spirit of protecting the young, you should remove it from your quotes as well.
 
Hmmm, well, speaking of negative responses --- you dun spelt NEGATIVE rwong!

And how is telling folks to shut the *&^% up supposed to be positive?!?

No keyboard cowboy here - I'll buy ya a beer at Hanks next time I'm in Denver.
Just think that your "final post" is more telling of your own attitude than that of your fellow AZer.

I haven't sworn off of AZB, but I've taken a few breaks. I hope you reconsider. If not, all the best. I enjoyed your posts.

I wonder if all TAR guys are at least 10% funny as you are? Funny man...:boring2: (funny pics/vids section is somewhere else)

Ontopc: Measureman take your time away from this. You'll feel better without all those funny guys with only on purpose in mind. Relax your mind for a while and do what you know better. This forum is not what it is was before..
Anyway this is my second nickname (2nd attempt...fails again)...
Take care man, keep the good in mind and the bad in the ground.

Cheers, Chris
