Pervy hormone-fuelled bastard? Moi? 's a fair cop.

However, I prefer "caffiene-fuelled goth" (since the latter implies me being a pervy bastard anyway.)

Rosalie · 23 Jul 2005, 12:30

I'm getting the feeling the "don't play the victim" is a nice way of saying "stay still while we make fun of you".

I don't enjoy people talking over my head either, exactly.

If you say stuff like that, I'll react. I'm human. If you don't want me to, don't say stuff in the first place that I'll almost definitely get upset by.

Obviousman · 23 Jul 2005, 12:33

Why can't you just stop thinking we're making fun of you, we'll only do that if you act like that, obviously

Just go ahead, have a laugh and all that, and problem's solved... That's about the only thing a HL'er needs, a proper sense of humor and being willing to relativate yourself...

Rosalie · 23 Jul 2005, 12:35

I just didn't enjoy being stereotyped as the kind of person who's so secure they have to justify owning as many "goth" records as possible. At all.

I'm telling you now I don't fit that mould. I'm too fat.

So don't try to seriously shove me into it, or I'll flabbily bounce back in your face.

Perhaps it's just adjusting pains.

@ rosalie: in all fairness, your very first post came across like a statement of intent, and not a very nice one at that.

you were defensive from the offset - you laid it all out there for people, and then stood back and invited offers.

not the best of starts really. and i see a similar pattern has continued...

if you dont bite people wont keep fishing.

@ everyone: what it comes down to is that i dont like people that create trouble on heartland. they threaten the wellbeing of the place, and its well documented that this is my baby and i will do whatever is required to secure that wellbeing. whatever is required.

as obviousman says, the only quality you need to fit in round here is the ability to laugh at yourself. life is too short to get het up about every tiny perceived injustice and little remark. apply the same rules to the rest of your life and i guarantee you will be a happier person.

so, can we all let bygones be bygones?

Dark · 23 Jul 2005, 13:02

Dunno about ALL.. that would involve Mrs RJ getting on nicely with d00my all the time, and Mr RJ becoming good tempered.

Is that REALLY what we want?

Obviousman · 23 Jul 2005, 13:13

Hail the Boss

You could well paste the 'apply the same rules to the rest of your life' part into the 'got any good advice' thread

The whole of bloody Heartland cannot be held responsible for YOUR reactions and YOUR upset.

You don't like what people say in response to you and you views - live with it. Or go elsewhere.

Please.

If you provoke opinionated "discussion" you should not be surprised if some people hold the opinion that you're talking through a hole in your head.

(Sorry Quiff, but REALLY).

James, would you mind if I pointed out to you that, at her current pace, Rosalie may overtake your post count before the next Sisters gig?

See the drama enter the room

(as my profile just informed me, I only do 1.96 posts a day, so no problems there

)

Um... yes. I just put on the first one I could find that morning...

Forgetting to first insert my BRAIN into my cranial cavity, as usual.

But how can you REMEMBER it if you don't have it in?

Your amphetamine logic is faulty.
