So, Sean Trane just said this:

Funny that you should mention that "j" word, because a lot of us think the same of youReplies:

And no. Don't just vote. A bunch f sole anonymous votes would not help. It would be great if you elaborated. ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became. Ernest Vong |

I won't say that I have sufficient basis to answer your rather serious poll question, as I haven't seen enough of your posts. What I've seen haven't looked that bad to me, even I've also seen some posts which I definitely couldn't approve. Like for instance when you accused jamesbaldwin for wanting to start a flamewar about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or Israeli-Hamas as you call it. My advice can be, be carefull to keep PA's ethical rules and no personal attacks - keep to the topics.  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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 aussi 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 |
), 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).Posted By: Hrychu

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. ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education.

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. ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.

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. ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became. Ernest Vong |

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 ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.

Okay, I didn't have a proper look at this post of yours until now, but I still think that Mike could react in a better way instead of just insulting you.

After what I have read in the home page of your website I personally don't think so, even if for I while I've had this impression. This is not because of the reggaeton, I've found it fun even if I'm not sure that being fun was your intention. There's only one of the things that you have written in that thread that I'd like to discuss with you. but it would cause the thread to be closed, so I'll eventually PM you. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

My english is certainly no worse than yours. Don't play on words with the two meanings of "jerk". You clearly meant it as an insult and not a sudden uncontrolled movement. It was totally uncalled for on a thread that had been dormant for 6 weeks until someone made an uneeded comment Sorry, but this has gone well to the point of being rude to you. The accumulation of small incidents (I'd actually forgotten the Boomer incident, thx for reminding me   ) and the PA bashing on PE, etc...Apologizing everytime doesn't erase what was said. Forgive doesn't mean forget, especially that new incidents keep happening. For this thread, you didn't need to mention me in the OP, and if you'd abstained, I wouldn't be here chewing the fat with you. So now, you're calling a truce after you've thrown a final salvo (at least you hope), right? I propose that we end it here now that I've made the score even.

managed to change the offensive picture of the Swedish band A being
thrown into the garbage (on his own account, it was a racist drawing)
and I said it was thoughless of him (as usual) and Mike agreed and they took onto each
other. It's that much weirder that he managed that the original picture I
quoted has also changed. It's rather fine you (Hrychu) question yourself, though (if that's your real intent, but let me wonder), but you didn't need to carry it out in public, involving me. .

The very idea someone would make a thread like this is annoying as hell. So, yes, you are a jerk. And by jerk, I adhere to the OED derogatory definition: An offensive term for someone who is foolish or unpleasant. And now, I certainly hope a mod passes by and closes this idiotic bit of nonsense. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I tried my best to tally up the votes so far. voted "yes": Sean Trane (presumably) The Dark Elf voted "no": Saperlipopette! Easy Money octopus-4 didn't vote: David_D AFlowerKingCrimson So, it seems we've got 5 (or 6) "yes" and votes 3 "no" votes that bear absolutely no function other than pure poll filler. ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education.

I do think that you often are a lot more rude than what the situation calls for, but I honestly didn't have a real problem with you until you decided that it was a good idea to berate people for not engaging sufficiently with this self-indulgent sobfest of a thread ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

| I haven't voted on this, but I will tell you, in a nutshell, the issue you have is about boundaries, and knowing when you have crossed them....I am not a registered therapist, so I will not elaborate further, other than that if you have annoyed someone, you need to be aware of when that has occurred, and why, and learn from it.... |

| I don't know really. Internet forums like these can encourage more abrasive interaction but no one is going to die from an insult. However it should be a comfortable place to post for everyone and forum guidelines need to adhered to otherwie it would just turn into a 'zoo'. Personally I get more annoyed with spam type posting and people who have an agenda. You don't seem to have this going on so I voted ''No''. |

We generally view those on the other side of an argument as jerks. It's our binary nature. Occasionally, our views are correct. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

This is something I would have asked a long time ago back when I cared way more about what people thought of me than I do now. Personally, I've been called pretty much every name in the book as have a lot of us. Asking if people think you are a jerk or not is a step in the right direction as far as self improvement goes (something I don't see at all from some of the other users on here). However, at the same time it can be viewed as attention seeking and even antagonizing. If you don't think you are a jerk than what does it matter? And if you do then try to do something about it. Go to a therapist or do a search online on how to be a better person. Jerks are typically (imo) very selfish people so strive to be more understanding and less selfish. So anyway, no I didn't vote but my opinion is similar to David's in that I don't know you (or your posts) well enough to make an informed decision regarding your stature as a jerk. Good luck though.

I don't think genuine jerks would be as concerned about what others think. -And while I'm at it, I still think PA-members being unable to stay away from threads that are not for them, or to their distaste are causing most of the unnecessary friction here. |
