Personally, I feel it would be a lot less hassle for you not to bother reading my posts if you hate them so much, or at least not replying. No skin off my nose if you do, it's your choice, but you're just being a dick. Others have noted it too. And though no one in the commune will be losing sleep, it's surely not cool for the forum to have unnecessary (and public) tension/bitching/call it what you will.
So it's your call. Carry on being a dick if you want. I am not going to go all Slev1n on you and start a flame war. Personally, I'd prefer it if you told me straight up why you feel the need to try and needle - and maybe get a resolution. At the very least, you'd be being a man and telling it like it is - rather than leaving sarcastic replies and then running along.
Surely you have better things to do with your time than look to leave arsey messages to my posts? I would assume you do, though. Either way, it would be cool if you can let me know just why you're taking the path you are doing. And if not, then I guess I'll see you in my threads.

I'm a dick to everyone. You don't get special treatment. Try being a little more easygoing and stop taking everything so personally.

LOL.
I get so much "shit" and - as the mail says - laugh it off/ignore it. Even that pm clearly stated it's no skin of my nose.
So by all means, carry on. Shame you couldn't reply to the pm but had to post in in the forum but hey, guess that's the dynamic we have, huh?

Look, I'm not just saying this to Thunder, but really anyone who doesn't like me because of something I've said or done in the commune.
You need to chill out or stop being so territorial about the commune or something, I don't know what. It's like almost anyone who has had an actual conversation with me thinks I'm cool as shit, but then there are all of these people who haven't who think I'm such a dick and the biggest jackass on FTR and all this.
If something said in the commune bothers you so much that you have to send me a PM asking me to explain myself, then you need to re-evaluate what's important to you in life. If it really hurts your feelings that bad, then you should seriously consider getting the hookup on some counseling because going through life getting offended and upset over everything is no way to live.
If your particular relationship to your ego is causing you to have that sort of reaction to a commune post of that level of insignificance, then for the sake of your poker career I seriously suggest you get some sort of counseling or pick up some self-help books or something.

One more thing to Thunder specifically, but something most people should consider.
You need to be a little more careful about who you run your mouth to. If not, it can be easy to get in a situation where you're talking shit to people who are eager to help you out on things that matter (Random Q's(mainly cash), and end up being buddy-buddy with people who talk shit about you being "a stupid fish who has been around BC way too long to still be playing those dumbass stakes", and that's a direct quote.
And now I'm done.

I can't speak for anyone else who thinks that but personally, it's everything you've done recently - entering threads for no other reason than to be a dick - and with this open forum pm thread.
It's that I stated in the pm, and the thread, that I couldn't really care less whether you continue or not and that it's no difference to me yet despite all that, you go down the route of me being uptight or whatever.
I have been ultra cool with you and your derisory posts over the past few months, mainly by ignoring them. Never rising to them. Today was the only time I countered as you asked me about spamming, and I threw it right back atcha.
The ironic things is that I send ONE pm - making clear my indifference - and you see that as being wound up over insignificancies? Yet it's you who's been trawling my threads for ages - even ones that don't interest you (like soccer) - just to post random insults & other shit. And yet I am the one who needs to re evaluate what's important in life?
So how does that work?
And read that pm again. If you see that as worked up or emotional then you need to practice your non poker reading skills. 'Cause I couldn't be any more calm, cool and unconcerned. I simply made it clear what I think about your actions and that it doesn't really bother me. You'll also note my other "meh" style responses to your posts.
Just in case you missed them, here is a snippet:
I feel it would be a lot less hassle for you not to bother reading my posts if you hate them so much..... No skin off my nose if you do....So it's your call. ...And if not, then I guess I'll see you in my threads.
No Slev1n style ranting. Nothing. Just indifference and being cool to you when you're clearly not being cool to me. If you still believe otherwise, then follow your own advice and go pick up some self help books or get some counselling.
"Meh", *roll eyes*, *shrugs* etc.

it's not like one side is right and one side is wrong.
people need to learn to chillax, but also people need to realize that people are uptight.

stupid thread, glad it only got one spade. my 2 cents, people do take stuff personally sometimes too much (not saying that about anyone in the thread I just skimmed this but based on spoon being in it I know what its about) I also notice spoons unrelenting flaming and i think he unintentionaly singles people out at times. prolly doesn't mean any harm but hes not really helping himself be well liked.

If you all bother to read that pm, you will see how I stated that it's not cool for the forum to have unnecessary tension and bitching in the forum. And this is the reason why.

You talk about being careful about running my mouth off when for months I have say here and ignored your "dick" style messages. Finally standing my ground - and being pretty cool with it - is "running my mouth" off?
Quote:
|
"talking to shit to people who can help"
|
It's these very people who are talking shit to me - and have been for months. All I did was counter it in a thread, and then acted pretty goddamn cool by pm'ing the person in particular about it. Yet that person - it seems - has taken umbrage at this very simple fact. Posted the pm in full view and is now saying I shouldn't answer back when someone is, and has been, a complete dick for months now.
Quote:
|
"and end up being buddy-buddy with people who talk shit about you"
|
I can quite categorically state that I have not ran to anyone. However, seeing as you're taking this route, name the names. Who have I gone running to?
Which leads me on to:
Quote:
|
"talk shit about you being "'a stupid fish who has been around BC way too long to still be playing those dumbass stakes'"
|
Again, name names. Who have I been so pally with that they're slagging me off behind my back? Don't go all quiet - you opened this can of worms so out with it.
And FWIW, since you took your manly stance of posting my pm, I pm'ed one person - to apologise and I also reaffirmed what I have already said in public. So if you don't clarify yourself here I will have no choice but to assume it is that individual. So no reason to keep it concealed.
5) Not that I need to answer why I hang around the BC still, but I will as I have nothing to hide/be ashamed of - it's because I set high standards for myself and have a number of targets to reach and attain. It's why I don't post advice on issues I probably could. And until I am conscious of reaching those levels, I will regard myself as a beginner, terribad, and ask questions galore.
And "that person" who you say I am pally with - and who says I shouldn't be at those dumbass stakes - should know that I don't play cash. It's what I am looking to do. It's what I have been saving my SNG BR for. And is why I will be starting at 25nl and possibly 50NL.
You know Spoon, and I could be wrong here, and as you've posted it openly I welcome other opinions, but this seems like one major power trip by you. You started by being a dick (again) and then you post my pm. And when I have the nerve to finally reply (without flames, just nonchalance) you warn me about giving shit to those who can help. And then you drop a little double crossing teaser in there, along with an unnamed quote.
Very poor form. All coulda been avoided by replying to the pm - or pm'ing me yourself over the past few weeks as to why you seem to take offence at everything I write. And it's not just me as others as you can see in this thread, others have noted your actions. Yet you still think it's me *rolls eyes*
And if it isn't clear enough, I've been as cool as possible. Not taken offence and yet you still think I have. And you still see my pm as "calling you out". Whatever dude. Guess you can't see the wood for the trees.
And in case you missed it, this thread has been accompanied with a sizeable "meh".
Apologies to FTR for this needless and "as gay as Liberace singing YMCA" melodrama.

Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by "power trip", or "started being a dick again", but I've been pretty nice to everyone including you before, during, and after you sent me this retarded PM. I think you're a little riled up and am trying to read way too much into things.
If I would have known that you would explode this into such a big deal or would have taken it so personally then I wouldn't have posted it in the first place. I think this is just another example of someone trying to use the fact that my screen name is spoonitnow to turn things upside down.

That was my original plan to take the edge off since it turned into a PMS fest instead of an intelligent discussion but then I remembered that's what I got my strike for so I decided against it.

Well I tried to be cool about it but evidently that's not sufficient to keep someone from going off with 500 word posts, so just go ahead and lock it or whatever since there's no way this is going to turn out well with all the omfg's being slung around here.
Btw what's your MSN/Yahoo/AIM?

And just so you're aware, spoon. Expecting the world to adapt to you is probably expecting a bit too much. Maybe you could work on pulling a few punches and giving people some slack. I dunno. You might call it
