Remember... he was thoroughly briefed on this place before he joined!I also can't take you seriously if you think tankard didn't know why he was making enemies or doing it intentionally...
Didn't you say that you had nothing left to contribute to this thread about 50 posts ago?YDIWwhat you should do... AKA, what I myself would do...is post in every single Deerslyr thread...... twice. THEN you will fit in to the PH.

You weren't around for the negative rating system. It was an efficient way for someone to find out that they had gone too far and rubbed people the wrong way. You asked if I want the answer to that question, yet you didn't ask a question. If you have one, ask one. Frankly, I don't care if my peers bash me. Stain and I have been down this road before and jumped all over each other... but I'm certain you would never be able to perceive that. We moved on, and frankly probably understand each other much better for it. I've had my run-ins with Dis... again you wouldn't perceive that. You shouldn't care if anyone else (in other words... me) bashes you. The question is whether you or I will learn anything at all from this experience. For my part, I'll likely not get as annoyed with you now that I have it off my chest. Put me on ignore if you want. It's no skin off my back, but I hope you might come away from this with some growth.And I thanked you for your honesty.I am perfectly aware that I am not loved by all. I have been from day 1. Even the mix tape had basically the same few people posting. Don't make this out like I have some big ego. I don't.I don't think I try too hard. You think I do. I am being myself. At a party, you eould have walked away from me. I would have seen it. Cant see that in a forum... I won't apologize for that. You could have PMd me anytime.All you have done here is create a thread where your peers are going to bash you and others will agree with you and bash me. You may have well created a "should we kick weep off the island poll". Not good for me or you.Do you want the answer to that question?I pray the mods lock this thread. Its ####ing juvenile. You wish we had neg 1s so we can make fun of the people who like the people you don't ? Grow up. I knew you were serious about the negs but hoped my gut feeling was off. I am so disappointed.I will stay far away from your threads, Deerslyr. Honestly. It's not a big deal.

in reality though you are making an assumption here -- that people cared. I honestly (and I'm sure I am not alone) have no idea how many points I ever had, and did not have. I never got the feeling that negative points actually influenced anything.You weren't around for the negative rating system. It was an efficient way for someone to find out that they had gone too far and rubbed people the wrong way.
And this, I agree with - we've all gone rounds with each other. Anyone who's known me since the early days would likely say (and they'd be right) that the PH/BB has had a positive effect on me, on who I am and how I live my life. And that's a good thing. I guess what I am saying though, is don't get all uppity about the minor changes over time. You may not like how weep interacts with the PH today, right now, but man -- don't let it get to you. Just chill. Wait. Post. Have fun. Chill some more and post some more. It will all work itself out -- and eventually you won't even be able to hardly remember when there wasn't a weeperow on this board.Frankly, I don't care if my peers bash me. Stain and I have been down this road before and jumped all over each other... but I'm certain you would never be able to perceive that.

What was the interest rate? Sounds like it may have been a better investment than Wall Street, real-estate or a CD. Two out of those three would've lost money.Hey Marmot(stirs pot just for fun)Just curious...Did I pay you back? With the interest you insisted upon?Or not? Can't quite remember...

Again, it's not really relevant. The person who I owed originally specified 0 interest. Then later, they said since you ####ed up and didn't pay on time, i'm gonna say x% interest.I did not decide how much x% was - but I paid it willingly, in full. Would have paid it no matter what it was set at b/c I wanted to make it right. So again, I fail to see the relevance.What was the interest rate? Sounds like it may have been a better investment than Wall Street, real-estate or a CD. Two out of those three would've lost money.

Yep. This. I never once let the amount of -1's affect me, my thoughts, my attitude,or my posting.People who do: amuse me.I miss the old ratings system. It was amusing.Part of the amusement was that there were people who took it in any way seriously.Allowing meaningless internet ratings points to effect your mood is almost as stupid as getting angry over sports.
