The Vent - Part 2

[Ling Ling 22]

there are no invites..

Great, then everyone is invited...right?

You really need to get together and create a consistent message.

Either you're all special because of a random circumstance of birth, only those invited can participate, or it's a public forum.

Maybe it's a combination of all 3. Whatever.

I never said you (or anyone else) had to be invited. Anyone can post; however, that doesn't mean anyone will "accept" you or want you here. There's a substantial difference between the two.

And YOU are the one who has the power to determine who will be "accepted"?

No...that doesn't sound arrogant at all.

He means accepted by him. Who cares about him?

So long as that dump is in both English and French, it's good.

Would you stop being so non-confrontational *mutters* freakin Canadians

Nope. I don't have the "power" to determine anything on a forum-wide scale. I do, however, have the ability to make a personal choice (as do the others here) and if that choice involves an opinion of someone else, so be it.

Although I must admit... it's more than somewhat ironic that you consider my attitude as arrogant.

Sure did sound as if you were speaking from a position of assumed power. Sure didn't sound like you were speaking individually for yourself.

Yes, your elitist attitude does come across as arrogant. Where is the irony? I'm not the one going around saying who is worthy or will be "accepted" to post where.

Can I post a non-argumentative, polite vent here or should I start a new thread for that sort of thing?

I don't think everyone got the memo. OT is for the mindless insults. Come on over, there are cookies and milk too.

Resume vents

Ok back to some real venting now...27 days until the interview! This is going to be the longest 27 days!! I just want it to be over with! On a lighter note I just got the engagement portraits from the photographer and they turned out wonderful!

I think it depends on many factors.

A. If you're Canadian

B. If you're married to a Canadian

C. If you're a man and think about another man's genitalia

D. If you've been invited to a public forum.

E. If the day of the week is a prime number.

There's probably other factors, but if anyone tells them all, they could suffer double secret probation.

I can do mindless insults here, too. I'm skilled like that. Especially the mindless part, it just comes natural.

Good luck

Actually, you didn't get the memo that VJ is not for mindless insults.

You're missing the point.

You might have a legitimate complaint. Your methods, however, won't get your very far. Try speaking to us in a polite manner, without sarcastic or antagonistic language. You might be surprised how people react. Maybe you'd even get an apology for whatever was said about you.

As it stands right now, very few are even listening to you. So you're merely banging your head on a brick wall. Hardly constructive, is it?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

In all fairness, some heads need banging against a brick wall.

Well, it can be a fun indoor or outdoor sport, I'll give you that.
