A Rant on My Ranting

[Dragavan]

I am beginning to feel like the resident ranter right now. If just a few days I have had at least two rather healthy rants and a couple smaller ones in this forum alone. That doesn't even take into account the ones I did over in the gaming forum I also chat in. I seem to be in some kind of ranting mood right now.

It's not like I am being more objectionable or in a bad mood right now and it's not like I am finding more things that I disagree with or that strike me as odd right now either. I am just in a mood to reply to them when I see them now. I am sure this will pass, but I wanted to make a note saying that I see it and it's not exactly normal for me.

If I happened to offend I would like to apologize, but I am just speaking my opinions and we are all free to have and express them. It's the way you do that that matters. I try to do it in as friendly and non-aggressive way as possible, but it may not come across that way. So, again I ask you to excuse me if I offend.

Thanks for welcoming me and making me feel free to chat here... it's sometimes hard to find places like that on the net. Too many agitators and griefers out there. Because of that feeling here I already have more posts here than I have had on "The Numbers" Lost site and I've been reading that for many more months.

That is all... for now.

Oh Dragavan, you havn't offended me in anyway.
I like how you voice your opinion, it's nice to read what you have to say.
And yes like you said it's ok to say your opinion as long as you say it nicely (which can be kind of had over the internet sometimes).
But trust me, you always say your opinion in a very pleasent way, and I thank you for that.

Take it easy, man. I haven't read anything objectionable personally (on the other hand, I haven't really looked.)

My rule of thumb for posting is, would this be something I would be willing to say to someone face-to-face? I find some people on the 'net find it quite easy to forget anything they ever learned about manners or etiquette. It's easy to post harsh words, tough to retract them.

Nothing objectionable except for your flame of me about movies, and your reference to Brokeback as "Gay Cowboy porn". There are all types of people here, you have to watch what you say......unless you don't care. Because this board is so small we really get to know eachother, if you want to have fun you have to play nice

[heyes]

While I agree the cowboy porn reference was in bad taste (honestly though, I've seen worse on these boards), I don't think you should be apologizing for your interesting and informative posts. I always look forward to reading one of your novellas, should I come across one. ;D
