Hello there. Many of you know me and perhaps some of you don't. But I believe this warranted to be addressed. I have tried to find the old thread by me of the same question but cannot locate it and thus have no other reason but to start this here.
I have had numerous posts and PM's by numerous people naming me the following (at least): sarcastic, over bearing, not suiting myself to others etc. These do not hurt me in anyway (like they would have used to), but they do concern me, as I wish to appear fair and friendly to all (even though I am aware of the old saying 'You can please some of the people some of the time'). So I was wondering what all of you think of the new me. Most of you will understand what I mean by that (mostly the older members), to those of you who do not I will explain.
You see when I first joined I was very brash, very under the influence of my fathers ideals and philosophies (which where (and still are today) very closed minded and quite hateful and discriminating). I have, having been living alone for the past year come to a new light of thought and a new way of life, which has progressed overtime to the point that is today. However, seeing that this forum is very dear to me and I value the opinions of quite many of you. I was wondering what you think of myself as of today.
I have lived by many philosophies taught to me by to name a few; KALSTER, Ophiolite, marnix. Those are only a few. But I am getting a lot of feedback from a select few who are suggesting my posts are a bit 'toffee nosed' or 'policing', that I should take into consideration my 'tone' when posting, (because I apparently am being sarcastic (which I may add I have no intent)).
So I was wondering if you think I am friendly, interesting to talk with, open minded etc. Or the opposite. I know opinions are sometimes irrelevant, but I value everybody here and am wondering if the way I am behaving is on majority more preffered or disliked. I am trying, and believe myself to be fair with great many people. I understand I behave like a moderator at times, I do that for a very good reason, to mention mostly that most importantly I behave that way as I prefer to keep this forum to a respectable standard, and stand in when moderators are absent. I have been that way for quite a while now.
To finish and not take anymore of your time up, I thank you for any feedback in advance, apologise for taking an entire thread up to pose this question and to say thank you (again).![]()
