I'm surprised to hear you guys getting into fights in PMs. Is it with guys from the Off Topic gang or the Fire on Ice guys? I don't think I've been in a pm fight.
A funny one from a couple years ago. It was a simple FoI thread about a player for player hockey trade between two small market teams and this poster came in out of nowhere going off about political Qanon filtered media Trump BS and then didn’t like that no one wanted any part of it. They had a really old sign up date but no activity for the last 19 years. They then went off unhinged on multiple people in pm and on the forum over the course of a day and a half.
I made a one liner sarcastic hint that the thread was about hockey and not his political takes and then he went off in pm for two days until he was suspended.
But take it with a grain of salt and don’t believe everything people post here publicly. I’ve seen some references made about me which are false.
Maybe don’t be a d1ck and people won’t send you DMs, I’ve seen a few posts now from different posters whining about that and when you look at their posting style it’s quite a normal reaction they get from many other posters.
Yeah, but isn't kind of super pathetic to get butt-hurt in a conversation in a public forum to the point where you're DMing people to let them know that you are upset as though they should care or do anything to appease your hurt feelings? I don't get how you could think it's normal to PM somebody just to let them know you don't like what they have to say. The actual normal thing to do is not care and just ignore them lol. Or, you know, just discuss with them your issue within the forum.
I would be annoyed to get a pm from somebody whining to me that they don't like what I have to say. I'm not making you listen to me lol.

Yeah. In terms of how this government operates, it's basically been 2005 for the last 17 years.
It's Jurassic Park up here and in the dinosaurs are running things.
Goes for national services too. Twice I've forgotten/lost track of my information for the mycra account access and both times I laughed at how i had to wait for a code to get physically mailed to me. Is that actually necessary to ensure security in this day and age?
That and hearing the one poster's story about his wife's EI delays in the system and it's becoming just stupid.

I think it's disappointing these disagreements didn't happen in public for the amusement of the rest of us.

Usually isn’t that entertaining.

Fool: Been all over the world in fact, thanks for asking, enjoying a few months in Thailand right now, its a tough life!
Me: Figured you were that type of guy.
Quote:
Fool: And what type is that?
Me: Ya, we’ll leave it at that.

Fool: You asked the question, whats the matter, the answer bothers you in some way? Which word specifically do you find triggering, do the micro aggressions stimulate your need for a safe space? Lol, have a great day!
Me: Yep, just doubling and tripling down on being that type of guy.
Quote:
Fool: No worries, I just am entertained by the reactions of your type of guy! Keep on being offended, I'm sure it makes you happy 😊
Me: Reactions? You’re not even getting a reaction. You can keep trying if you want. It’s your time that you’re wasting.
Quote:
Fool: Lol, every reply you send wastes your own time as well. You're funny Fortunately for me, my success in life has afforded me plenty of leisure time.
Me: No one cares about your life. Clearly not that good or you wouldn’t be like this.
Quote:
Fool: Maybe we should compare post counts to see who has been wasting their life in a forum? Thats hard data for you to digest. If you don't care about my life, why ask where I've been for 19 years? You're all over the map here buddy! I'm off for a nice brunch now, catch ya later
Me: Oh good. More nonsense from the small man syndrome poster child.
Quote:
Fool: Ah yes, name calling, you can do better than that though, put your back into it. Whats the matter you don't want to discuss wasting your life anymore? When do you think you'll crack that 10,000 post mark? Lol, you better be in bed, don't want to be late for the grind tomorrow!
Me: This is fun, kind of in the way the kids at the daycare in my neighbourhood try to talk to the adults through the fence when we walk by.
Let’s not forget, you’re the fool who comes out of nowhere, gets embarrassed and then rage PMs everyone. I didn’t pm you. You have to be the one to leave. Today, tomorrow, or 2075. Chances are you’ll be banned long before 2075 I’m guessing.
I’m not up in the middle of the night, but my personal life isn’t relevant here. You’re the one spending your whole day on a forum you’ve barely been on in nearly twenty years trying to pick fights with every member who posted in a thread about a hockey trade. Trying to compensate for something?
How’s your conversations with the others you pm’d going?
Quote:
Fool: You seem very focused on “rage” why is that? The move to pm’s has been explained several times, ask the mods if you like...
M If I get banned or not matters zero to me, recall that I do not measure self worth by my online footprint. I still think you don’t understand that this pm thing is a two way street, if you claim I’m wasting time, you are as well, you don’t get that? I’m not picking fights, just responding to those who initiated with me, off the forum as requested by mods. I have no need to compensate my friend,I live a wonderful life.My conversations always go well, for me, you sound like you wish you had help, are you feeling overwhelmed?

-One of you needs to threaten to beat the other up. It could be subtle and internet-like by saying something to the effect of "I dare you to say that to my face..." Don't forget the ellipsis, let it hang in the air
-Not nearly enough bad spelling or grammar. Throw everything you know about 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're' out the window
-Always assume wrongly on purpose. I think that's what people on Twitter must do. It has to be. Total random stuff out of left field like "I expect nothing less from a Belgian" or "That's easy to say when you were born with a silver spoon up your arse"
-Never underestimate the power of the threat of a threat of a lawsuit
-Go for the username and avatar. People are proud of their online visage, some have spent years, decades cultivating their identity as represented through their handle or avatar. Tear 'em apart
-Remember, physical wounds heal. However, emotional scars can last a lifetime

I’d say it depends on the relationship. When our kids and my best friend’s kids got married the gifts from my wife and all of them got $500. My friend’s son will never get married so we lucked out.
For nephews and nieces $250. Others, $200. We’e attended one destination wedding where we were told no gifts because of the cost of a Mexico trip, and no one gave gifts.
Also a reminder to ensure your kids are wearing their seatbelts properly and that extending car seat use can save lives. No one should be ejected from Vehicles these days
