Will it never end? [Two and a Half Inches of Fun]

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’.

You just keep sowing your oats my young friend while you can. You’re right, I can be a bit blunt sometimes, but bullshit just draws more flies. I’d love to meet you face to face, you would be surprised at how smooth I am in real life. I’m just a guy like you man, just seen a little more of the battlefield. I hope you end up in Japan. The Samurai were an awesome bunch, I would love to walk the earth where they did. Peace be with you my friend, be nice to the ladies and they’ll be nice to you. Or maybe not that last part.

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.

Nope, I’m not offended at all. I already know how you feel about my candor about female sexuality and reproductive health because you’ve told me before. It’s unfortunate to me that you take offense at it, but not something I’ll apologize for, because I’m not sorry about it. I feel the benefits to individual men and women who are illuminated by the things I know and experience, from the normal female cycle to the workings of one polyamorous marriage, outweigh the understandable risks that some people don’t *want *to know about them and will take offense. I’m often careful to label TMI if it appears in an unexpected place, but I don’t hold back in any case.

I chose not to respond before now because I don’t want to risk you getting yourself into a lather on my account, but please rest assured, I’m not offended at all.

I’m really glad to hear you feel that way. I’ve never been so blunt about it before for fear of hurting your feelings. I should have know better. You have always struck me as one of the most up front women I’ve ever met. You’re absolutley correct about people needing to know about such things because they wont give you that kind of detail in any classroom I’ve ever attended. I’ve never known a woman that has your kind of presense before so I didn’t know how to approach you. If you’ll remember this was some time ago when I was still getting kind of used to message board communication. It’s a world away from real life, but I try to be honest and I know you do so as well. I know you have gone back to school as of late, I hope you don’t mind me saying so but I think you would make an excellent instructor. You do not beat around the bush at all and that’s one of the best ways to teach people. Cajoling them and holding their hands doesn’t work very well. Oh, and we both know no apology is nesecary, maybe from me to you for being blunt, but not at all on your part. You are a fine woman by any standard, in every way that a woman should be. I know you have a strong family and the mother is kind of like the general in that respect. Most men can’t walk and chew gum at the same time without their wife or partner giving them a nudge. Thanks for speaking with me. There aren’t many women like you left in the world either.
