I lost my parents when I was 6, and I've had a rough life ever since then. I may get into details but I don't really like to talk about it. I just cant concentrate, and I have a hard time doing some things. I am only a member of two forums, and the other one is treating me like sh*t. I use forums as an escape pod, to get away from everything that annoys me, so please don't be so "you so gay" if I start another review thread, or which one thread. ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win!

I'm very sorry to hear that, and I apologise for any intolerance I have shown. Often we judge way too harshly, and forget that there are real people who have, and have had, really significant problems and issues in life (sometimes those who are very critical are going through, or have gone through very hard times too). Sometimes I think we forget, or don't care, that there are real people with real emotions behind the words We need more compassion, empathy, tolerance, and deeper/ more profound communication. Message boards are very clunky means of socialising, and are often not a good means of escape, I find. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

| Aragorn224, that's terrible to hear, I hope because you have told this now, people will watch out with what they will say. I agree with Logan that people often judge too harsh, definitely on internet forums, cause here you can't see the emotions of other people, and someone might have been very hurt without you knowing it. |

Seriously, look into what ADD is about. I have it and so does one of my sons. It sounds like there is a chance you may have it. Understanding what it does to you helps conquer it for the most part. ADD makes a person fail to complete things, most things, including reading, thinking, and speaking. ADD persons tend to be impulsive, doing and saying the first thing that comes to mind before completely thinking it through.

It's really important to know other people and forums etc is probably not the best place - one can only see your words (and maybe thoughts) but is difficult to get to know you as a person. Even if I disagree or feel some people write quite negative posts I try to make them understand that and not 'bash' them. I realise your loss has had a singificant effect, I am very sorry to hear that (I am fortunate not to have experienced sth similar in my life) but your honesty is even more important and this is what matters. So  to you |

Well I am sorry. And Easy Money does have a point, even though we can be harsh at times it is in a weird type of jest, (us proggers are weird folk). you've had a life that I would not wish on anyone. However, without knowing all that I hope you can at least understand why I would say some things I did. Anyway, I am sorry and believe me, if I hurt you I did not mean to. And I never did welcome you to the archives!  |

Take this however you want. I lost my mother when I was 8. To ovarian cancer. My dad said my sisters and I didn`t have to go to school the day after she passed away. All three of us went to school that day. When I was in the air force there were 4 ocassions where pilots on the squadrons I was flying with were killed in accidents. The COs always made sure that we were back in our airplanes as soon as possible with the exception of one occasion when the fleet was grounded. What I`m saying is that you keep goin`man. No matter what. I can be an annoyance but that`s only because I`m me. ------------- |

It should - That is uncool man, genuinely uncool. Seriously, are you that much of an "attention whore" as to get people to give you sincere condolences and apologies? Look what some people GENUINELY said to you Logan: "I'm very sorry to hear that, and I apologise for any intolerance I have shown. Often we judge way too harshly, and forget that there are real people who have, and have had, really significant problems and issues in life (sometimes those who are very critical are going through, or have gone through very hard times too). Sometimes I think we forget, or don't care, that there are real people with real emotions behind the words We need more compassion, empathy, tolerance, and deeper/ more profound communication. Message boards are very clunky means of socialising, and are often not a good means of escape, I find." Basically, you should feel a hell of a lot worse than "so lame" right now; that is a seriously screwed up thing to do, especially in a community like PA where I never have (and I doubt you ever have) received anything other than care, friendship and the occasional incredibly diplomatic argument. That is Low. -Joel -------------

I just look back at this thread and actually feel sad for you guys. You believed me, which showed you cared, and I'm sorry I was a fag at you guys, for saying these things, and making you guys believe them. I wish I could turn back time. I just didn't want this forum to be a forum like the previous forum I was in, where people would continously piss me off. I wanted to getaway from that forum, and get to a place where people like the same music I do, and have warmth in their hearts, y'know? ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win!

Wow, even if you are an attention whore, that's a very harsh lie, man. I do forgive you for this though, I think you've had enough bashing etc. already. Also, I think because of this you might have wasted your chances of becoming an admin, which is what you wanted, right?

You know, I don't really care any more. It's the admins' choice, if they want me as an admin, I will become an admin. After spending some time with you guys, I realised that a lot of you guys are as worthy of being an admin as much as I am. I may know more in X sub-genre while you know more in Y sub-genre, so we are both full of knowledge now. Now we talk, we share our music knowledge about sub-genres X and Y, and become knowledgeful at both genres equally. ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win!

What I wanna know is why. I mean, people would have still respected you here if you'd have simply apologised for being a little bit of a douche instead of creating your own little sob story to try and justify it. The fact that you called Transatlantic a prog metal band isn't really a reason to be a dick to someone. Just inform them as to was metal really is If you want to know what real prog metal is then I, amongst many others on this site, would be more than glad to help you out on that one. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value."

I agree that I shouldn't have treated him any differently, but, the thing is, he used this as justification for why he may have been rude, and I don't agree with that in any way or form. Lets just say his parents actually did die - I wouldn't treat him differently to begin with, but, when someone opens a thread called "Why I can be annoying at times..." and then discusses that they've had a somewhat stressful life saying that their parents died before they reached the age of 6, I'd generally try to be semi-empathetic to any outbursts they may express towards me or any other. -------------
