That’s almost perfect. But there is enough stream-of-consciousness to invoke Kerouac, or even Faulkner, at least in terms of style. With sort of a post modern grammar is for pussies bent.
And I mean this as a compliment, I really do. Whatever else one may say about Omegaman, he is delivering the unvarnished story as he sees it, completely artifice free.
You know I feel the same about you man. What you do here is tough, with this crowd. But you have to be a little edgy. Bill Cosby is funny as all get out but it gets old quick. But Lenny Bruce went way over edge a lot and look what happened to him. It’s all about temper man, just like a fine sword or knife too much, snap. Too little it just bends.
I’ve posted while high a couple times, and it was still a lot more coherent than Omegaman is right now.
Omegaman, when you first joined the boards, I was sure you were a troll and would be banned in short order. Much to my surprise, you took the criticism you were receiving to heart, altered the style and content of your posts, and turned into a “useful member of society,” as it were. Now you’re slipping back, and your posts are harder to read and understand. Whatever that change was that you made between “troll” and “useful contributor,” could you do it again? I liked you better the other way.
And just more quick thing Guin. The reason I said anything at all to you is because you stuck your nose in, which no doubt is your absolute right. On the other side of the coin it’s my right to say what I wish too you. A perfect example is Whynot. She felt that I needed to hear what she had to say so I listened. When I told her something she needed to hear she appears to be offended. Now I normally wouldn’t be so blunt and I put it as nicely as possible but still, she’s probably offended and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least nor would it upset me. This is what happens when one sticks ones nose in where it doesn’t belong whether it’ right or wrong. I have taken beatings for this very kind of action but it coesn’t deter me. As long as the benefit outweighs the consequence it dosn’t bother me a bit.
How do you figure she appears to be offended? Frankly, I thought your comments to her were out of line, but I don’t see anywhere that she has even responded.
For future reference, OmegaSir:
You’re = “You are”
Your = Possessive
They’re = “They are”
Their = Plural Possessive
There = A place
Carry on.
As she didn’t I just figured she was. Again, if you’re going to point fingers about something that is really none of your business what do expect would happen? Your telling me you’ve never gotten into trouble by saying something wise or inappropriate? I’ll bet you have. If she was offended she could have just told be to F off and I wouldn’t blame her. I believe there’s one other possibility here and that’s that she did listen to what I said and although probably initially outraged realized that what I said was true. I’m not making that shit up my friend. Once when **TLDR ** said he didn’y understand how a woman could get raped and I chastized him for saying that. If it wasn’t outright trolling it was one of the stupidest questions I have heard uttered by a human being. Well she proceeds to chastise me for even pointing out how stupid it was then to further drive home her point she proceeded to tell the whole board how in fact it was possible and all the disgusting details of said event. I don’t need to hear it. I have witnessed it first hand. Understand what I’m telling you? I watched my step father do it to one of my sisters and got beat like a dog when I tried to stop him. Don’t even for one second I’m trying to garner support or sympathy for myslef but please try to understand, there are some things you can not forget. Be sure things just like this and many others are with me all the time whether I would like to forget them or not. Ask **Tokyoplayer ** his take on what i’ve just said. It is seared in your memory for ever and most people will do anything to try to forget it. The way I live my life is you i’m getting rid of it. Slowly but surely as I open up to the world and to loving others it gets smaller and smaller in my pysche. All the drugs, all the violence all my attempts to escape haven’t even put a den’t in it.
I apologize for all the mistakes. I type for crap.
That second “for” is a typo, right?
You’re saying that she didn’t respond either because she was offended, but not enough to come back and tell you to F off, or because she realized that you were right and didn’t want to admit it to you?
Let me propose another theory: she decided that it wasn’t worth responding to you because she didn’t want to have to deal with your trollish behavior. Which is what I’ve decided you are. You say things just to provoke a reaction, and then claim that it is because you’re trying to make the world a better place. Your constant bleating in this thread about how rough you’ve had it, and how it has made you a better person, and how you’ve decided to go through life explaining to other people how they should live their lives, even when they don’t appreciate it, has gotten old.
And on review, I see that MrDibble has summed up most of your posts better than I could.
Oh my.
I think that what we need here is drugs and line breaks. Preferably in that order.
As far as the stated “purpose” of this thread and the strange direction it seems to be taking, it’s usually not a good idea to blast other posters for being TMI when you’re providing a hell of a lot of off-topic TMI content all by your lonesome - there have been numerous mentions of sex and rape and violence and other loathsome topics, all of them carefully tucked away in giant walls of run-on sentences, and none of them in posts by 2.5".
Food for thought. Seriously.
Yes, I know. What I told you about yourself obviously hit home. I told you LM but you too had to stick your nose in. Do you people never pay attention here or what? I’m you think I’m somehow dumb or defective? Look in the mirror. That was a nice word, bleating. Don’t hear that too often.
I realize I shouldn’t be “sticking my nose” in again (or at all), but I promise that this’ll be my final time… I do believe you really care about the people who that you try to get your message across to. At least, as well as one can when everything is still virtually anonymous. However with that aside, it still seems that you’re going about things in a rather ham-fisted away by mixing things in that don’t specifically belong / aren’t relevant and allow folks to view you harshly (for example, telling LM that your comments obviously hit home – how do you know that?) and by being so damn esoteric that a lot have no idea what you’re talking about at all.
It seems that if you’d like opinions to remain high of you, you’d attempt to remain focused on the subjects at hand and less on your interpretations of others’ lives in relation to what’s posted (when, obviously the twain do not meet). If only you can stay on track and refrain from getting bogged down in minutiae, then you’d be doing great.
No matter though, I think I’ll stop bothering you now and in the future. I’m sure you’ll sort all this out, one way or another. Again, I wish you well and I sincerely hope that the things that seem to trouble you pass away with very few concerns.
Omegaman, please learn to use paragraphs. I can overlook the rest (Goddess knows my grammer isn’t exactly stellar!) but the single paragraph that runs on for a dozen lines or more while covering 4 lines of thought really make your posts hard to read.
May I suggest to you that that is a very poor reason upon which to base a conclusion? Very poor. It would be better for you to avoid this kind of reasoning.
Omegaman and Guinastasia’s** interaction reminds me of a porcupine attempting to eat cotton candy. Everyone gets frustrated, and it’s a real sticky situation.
Omegaman, you know I love you dude, but you need to chillax. I usually agree with your comments. It’s not your opinions that rub the wrong way, but the presentation. You post so forcefully that it comes off as arrogant and presumptuous, and your writing style is so difficult to read that it puts people in bad moods regardless.
Also, people are going to take offense when you bring up their personal life without a relevant context. When you then claim to know what they’re feeling and thinking, furthermore saying you’ve been through the same thing yourself, it can be hard for people to see your posts as loving and caring. I think you really do try to help, but you catch more flies with honey ya know? In summary, just chill a little bit and keep on truckin’.
Perfect.
Pro or con? Posting while at work may get a whole lot more interesting.
Omegaman, they can’t handle your honesty and decency, and it’s so overwhelming to them that they have to lash out at you, and call you names, and try to bait you into saying something hateful or hurtful so they can hold it up and point to it and call you a hypocrite.
I’m proud of you for not stooping to their level and taking the bait. You’re a better man than I am for you patience and compassion. I’m proud of you.
Damn Dude! That’s nice of you to say. You know how I feel about you, your a good man, a regular guy. No pretention or airs about you. We’re a dying breed my friend. I’ll bet you pass on the good values to your children though. I can still see you playing with them on the floor of your house, in my mind. You know this isn’t causing me not even a drop of grief, don’t you? No more than shooing the cats away or eyeballing a pigeon when it craps on your car. Everybody acts like this place is the only place in the world. I walk this earth with a smile of satisfaction on my face for the most part. Every once in a while you stub your toe or get a thorn in your sock. Just a momentary distraction. Some of these people just make me laugh at how serious they take themselves and some of them make me feel a little sad for them because they can’t even walk down the street without worrying if some bodys going to speak to them. I’ll see you around my friend, you always make me chuckle to myself.
