Also, I love how people are anonymously voting in this poll yet nobody explains their vote or even admit what option they picked in the forum section. A way to completely discard the reason for the poll to exist. xD

Besides, that tension was resolved shortly thereafter, and I don't see a point in digging it out just to get equipped with some more drama fuel.

Well, sometimes. Aren't we all? You especially should be able to relate. ;)

There's no context here, but Mike's post was a heavy personal attack.

 Great advice, but some members don't follow these rules and have no consequences.

Unfortunately so.

As for the alleged insult. It was not an insult. I know your English proficiency is poor, Sean, and sometimes you twist the meaning of people's posts in English, according to the state of the English language as it was 15+ years ago. Like, for instance where you misunderstood the term "boomer". So please, bear with me.

My true intention was to point out the rude tone of Sean Trane's post, a very distinctive egotistic style that may be understood as a bad personality trait, in order to make him notice his flaws and consider becoming less rude.

I guess the worst thing that can be done is to continue antagonizing each other. I'd suggest putting aside our differences, and just respectfully disagree.

Just to make things clear, I apologized for that insensitive joke I made in August (the one to which Mike reacted). And if you look at the history, I have not repeated such a mistake ever again since then. B)

Just a proof that you can in fact take what people tell you about your behavior and work on your ego to become a better person.

Just one recent example (late august in a suggestion thread) in quote. 

I will not reprint what you said about the PA in general on PE.

note that "j" is from you (as you brought it up), others use "a".


==============

We all have our flaws (moi aussiEmbarrassed), but AFA politics is concerned, I recently backed the ban (I was previously for letting them happen for 20y), because it was going directly to insulting (as you just did in the "ignore function" thread).


I won't even vote, because you already know my answer for the last few months , but for years before, just know that you didn't ruffle my feathers. 



let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Who voted yes?

Nah, you're fine. But then again I may be a jerk myself. I know there's at least a handful here that do not care for my tone or whatever. I write very impulsively and don't know excactly where I'm going when I start. And I usually post exactly what I feel like in the moment. Maybe that's what you do too? There will always be people who you communicate badly with. That's ok. You can't win them all.

Thank you for being polite, honest and unbiased.

BTW, to everybody who votes in this poll, please make a post which option you voted for, and why.

And no. Don't just vote. A bunch f sole anonymous votes would not help. It would be great if you elaborated.

So, Sean Trane just said this:
Quote Funny that you should mention that "j" word, because a lot of us think the same of you
I don't fully trust his claim that "a lot of us" think that, but hey. We are our own worst critics. So, I'm making an actual public poll. Perhaps I am not the friendliest user here. Perhaps I need to open up a bit more? Maybe you guys would point out what I need to work on in order to become a better person. I don't want to delude myself with selfishness if there is any and I'd really want to see what you guys think how my interactions with this community can be improved.
