Pancho, I am not even in Toolhiem's league. He likes stickin it to me, so I gave some back. But that was much different. I guess insulting a person's loved ones if approved behavior here. I just was brought up differently...OF

DickyW. Do you take it personally? I do. That is the number one reason I struggle here. It bothers Jman being called an ass kisser. You could call me that all day long. I guess each individual has thier own hot buttons. I am sorry for the loss of your mother...OF

The forum is much better most of the time without this kind of stuff, but I am in hopes on this slow sporting day that one of you will step up and be the better man and ignore the other if necessary. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

General...I enjoy this...find it funny...Of course in moderation....but as wil would say....'It is the lifeblood of the forum'...

Funny timing SS. Me and Wil were just discussing this whole ordeal. It's not to bad. We have seen much worse days I can assure, although we do not want this to become the normal routine

General Sir...99% of my troubles I brought on myself. I am solely to blame. This is your guys world not mine. I forget who posted it but someone said how could I be here if I was so thin skinned. Let me tell you, it is a struggle. I am looking at other options, maybe another board because I have seriously burned my bridges here. No one's fault but my own. I set myself up to fail with unrealistic expectations. But I survive and live, hopefully learn. At this juncture it would be better if I hopped away. I am now part of the problem, if not the problem, and have no idea for a solution. Bottom line, the RX was way over my head...OF

I hope you are joking to a degree OF, that could not be furhtest from the truth...If only there were a few more posters with your wit & candor....of course temperence is necessary at times & I...like you...also fail in this discipline....

General, Wil,

fact is, we are all men of intellect (to a degree) & we enjoy discussing things...even debating things...with each other. There is only so much sports & gambling that one can talk about...that is why we must allow some of this from time to time...NO?

dont be rediculous OF. you have had more than enough people state they liked your picks and or posts, if you have people that like your stuff, why abondon them? and also, if you have people that like your stuff everything else irons itself out eventually. simply becuase, not everyone is someone people look forward to having their posts read it sort of commands repsect. and this is becuase the mods best interest is the RX,and that is why they are mods and this is why the system works and this is why this board consistently draws more posters and even more important more qaulity posters then any other board. look around. look at the other boards. i did. none are like this place. its just the way it is. if you want to post, and you want to enjoy it, you'll be hard fought to have the expierence be better than it is here at the RX. though it may not seem like it for the time being.

It is all yours Savant. I will work on making myself better at this. Demote myself from the bigs and try a more relaxed forum. Maybe some seasoning will be good for me. You know you have to look in the mirror and ask, is this working? I honestly answer, no. Quite an eye opening experience. Well, keep up the good fight. I have games to cap...OF

"mail order bride": not offensive
"older male bride": offensive
"brittle older male": easily offended
"older mare's bridle": offensive*

(*horses only)

Hope this clears things up.

Thanks Rob, but my no shit assessment says otherwise. If I am bringing out the worst in people and my wife gets attacked, then I have failed. I have no trouble accepting failure, and know I can improve. You were one of the first guys to talk to me here, and I appreciate your kindness. I wrap up at end of NBA anyway so maybe I will be better when football hits. I was stupid to quit, and even stupider to comeback. Your one of the good ones Rob, was a pleasure meeting you...OF

I can be one of the best posters. I have difficulty getting along with my peers, and fellow members/posters. Therein lies the problem. My post quality does go down the toilet when I get PO'd. And I get PO'd way too easy. Fairly new to me as no one in real life ever bothers me. Like I said, very eye opening. I normally end my season when NBA ends, and take a good 6 to 8 weeks off, no computers or betting. Obviously no posting. I hope to comeback improved. Hey, no hard feelings, no one here cost me any money, and business is business. I could use a hockey education in the future, always willing to learn, hopefully you will still be here for football. I could never tell you were of Arab descent by your posts. To be honest, I do not care. I value you for your posts, but shake my head at your political incorrectness. You seem as naive as me...OF

to be honest OF I am probably more AMERICANIZED that many...I was born here in Ottawa & my mother is a french Candian. I only speak english & french...I am not religious...I have travelled the world many times over so I am very cultured let us say, however I love gambling, sports, reality show's, chicks like most red blooded american's & Canadians...To say I am arab is really quite a stretch however my father is Arabic, but he neither is religious....which is why I may have over-reacted in the other thread in regard's to SHRINKS comments, but no big deal I guess....

OF will NEVER leave this place. The kid is totally addicted to this place. Have you seen how long his posts are? They're even longer than mine. The kid has so much to say in each post, where else is he going to let it all out like that? He had a lot of catching up to do by making up for lost time. His avg post is 576 words long. And you expect him to leave?? Who else is going to listen to him besides us losers here at rx.

IF OF leaves, he will have a nervous breakdown. He needs this place..
