In re-reading my posts to this thread, well shit. I’m just gonna say it. I was behaving like an asshole. I have no excuse for this, except that my stress level in Airman’s absence has been quite high, and this thread hit a little too close to home. Which still does not excuse my behavior.
To respond to Twisty, no, I don’t know when he’s coming home, and that’s a large part of it right there.
At this point, flame away. I’ve asked TubaDiva to suspend my posting privileges, at least for the short term.
Even if I wasn’t on your side, it wouldn’t be much fun to pit somebody who can’t post back. Good luck to you and yours, and I hope both you and Airman Doors come back soon.
and, I understand (to a degree, granted that I’m not in your shoes) how it can feel very personal to you. Kudos for you recognizing that your personal feelings may be overriding other concerns.
Look, I don’t always agree with you. In fact, I think you’re wrong a large portion of the time. (;)) But I don’t want to see you go. You were maybe a little bit harsh, but it is completely understandable. Personally, I think you have to be quite a bit ruder before you qualify as an asshole.
If you are set on leaving, though, I wish you well, and the same to the Airman. Come back soon, the both of you.
There’s certainly no need for that. Things get said in the heat of the moment that we regret(at least, the way we said them). We’ve all been there. I don’t think anyone in that thread took anything that personally. I know I didn’t. Stick around and ride it out.
FWIW, I hope Airman gets home real soon.
Aw, Robyn, honey, I don’t see anything out of the ordinary in that thread, certainly nothing that’s worth you quitting posting. I mean, come on, it’s just another Pit “Armed Forces” thread, yeah, it’s loud, but all the Pit “Armed Forces” threads have been loud, always.
And do my eyes and computer clock deceive me, but did that whole thread just swell up and pop since 5:27 since morning? Today’s still May 13, right? [turns around to check calendar] Yep.
So don’t let the fact that you blew your stack at somebody before lunch in the Pit chase you off the SDMB. I’ve seen worse, babe, much worse, in the Pit. Heck, in GD. You ain’t done nothing bad that you need to leave for. Send Tuba a “ne’mind”.
And I hope Airman comes back soon, too. We’ve still got all these dang yellow ribbons around the trees, sure wish we could take 'em down for heaven’s sakes…
Feh, Tuba would be better off fetching me my damn chicken pot pie.
I’m sorry my reply to you came out a bit OTT. I realise the worry you are under at the moment. Take care, and please stay posting so that you can update us.
Robyn, I read that thread you linked to, and kept waiting for you to say something over the top-- some sort of post that would indicate you crossed the line. It never came. You were just stating your opinion-- Pit-style. Naughty language and heated opinions really aren’t out of place.
There’s no melt-down evident, no violation of board rules. I would agree with Duck Duck Goose; re-mail Tuba and have her halt your suspension.
heh, typical, the first decent apology I’ve seen, and it’s not even neccesary. Ah well, hope to see you posting again soon MsRobyn, I agree with the rest, I don’t think you said anything ridiculously out of order at all.
I feel strange asking you this but I don’t think you’ve been suspended yet. MsRobyn
Since you have married a military man;
Have your ‘political opinions’ changed?
Do you feel like you are more informed by on international issues?
Some friends of mine ( a married couple) seemed to have changed radically since he joined up. Actually he served right out of HS and then was out for a about six years and thats when he met and married her. Now, he is back in the service and her views especially have changed and become very highly charged.
MsRobyn, you have always behaved with class in any thread I have been in. I didn’t read the whole thread, but what I saw wasn’t too bad. I don’t think you need to leave.
