I am chagrined at my realization of what I posted 01:24? local time
in the thread "date/time stamp".
Although, at that hour, in the "condition" that I was in
(which was very similar to old cronies drinking and cajoling
with each other)
I believed I was in newsgroup setting,
(which IMHO, have a time delay of hours or days - rarely "real time"),
having fun with my buddies, and teasing another poster.
I have never participated in any "chat rooms",
I nave never participated in any "instant messaging",
and only yesterday realized,
that these forums are "real time" - this ramble is to explain to Neil and Barry
that I did not realize that your responses addressed MY post!
(that realization came to me THIS morning!)
This is posted in an effort to Explain what I did.
But, it does not Excuse my unprofessional conduct.
Ihop, I did not intend to hurt you.
I meant to joust ("challenge" or "friendly combat")
Other messages "seem" to say these stunt guys look like "weaklings"
I know that "skinny little" guys can be very fast and hurt like hell.
Thank you for Not sending them here to kick my butt.
If you are going to send them, you need only send ONE
That is all it would take to kick my skinny little butt.
Neil R,
Thank you for your prompt, or was it immediate, response.
Had I not returned to this thread this morning, and read it,
I may not have well realized how rude,
inconsiderate and unprofessional I had been.
I owe you a debt of gratitude.
Re: "...yeah, it was just the on comment that set me off"
I do not understand...(newbie in this realm)
If you would be so kind to fill me in on what is "on comment" and
how I screwed up, I will sincerely appreciate your response.
It is my endeavor, Neil, to be an asset to the forums,
and NOT to be some loud mouthed star seeker nor antagonist.
At times, "I forget" where I am and I am damn near lost in these forums.
I know that I am inexperienced in here and with digital,
but I also know that I have a big heart, good spirit,
tendency to get "**** faced" and "whack at the keyboard" obliviously.
With all due respect, Neil, at my age and life experiences, I do need guidance,
so that I will be a worthy and helpful
assistant/promoter for the younger generations.
Barry_S, Moderator
Thank you for your presence!
For the young and old - newbies and big stars.
You have been in my mind for the past five hours...
as I have been "stewing over" what the hell am I
going to input here...
If you have taken the time to read this msg in it's entirety,
you may deduce that I am aman of some integrity, and
heed my appeal.
Sir, Mister, or whatever is appropriate in this context,
I have my challenges (ie more than two hours composing this message),
and my assets - many "stories" and willingness to share and assist.
I sincerely believe these forums will continue to be a
valuable asset to me and I will be a valuble asset here.
I, too, have experience as being an "elder".
I do not know the protocols nor have the skills to reside here
beneficially - for myself and the group.
Enough of my ramblings,
aha, before I dismiss myself,
I hearby request of you,
if I ever screw up like this again,
will you please see to it that I get "demoted"
make sure that "the powers here"
REMOVE a star from my logo?
I do not intend to obligate you, Barry,
but, when I see this post tomorrow, or the next day,
I will appreciate and heed it's content,
which will assist me with adhering to ethics and
abiding by the protocols of dvxuser.com.
As yo can probably see...
this old fart is figurintg out how the hell
these forums works - I don't "know where this will show up"
and what the hell shows up on the monitor screen in front of me...
do not trust word wrap
I am trying to redeem my self from the ****up I did a couple nignts ago
when I was two sheets to the wind...(Ihop's "Stunt men" (?)...
Same condition now...
For some damn reason, I thought you was in Sicily/Malta...
just punched yo ID: Vancouver BC!!!!
I'm envious - love that "cosmopolitan" city - got friends there
Thanks fo hanging in here -
helps me figure what the hell is happening here
Vancouver??? You really there???
incites me to run off at the keyboard,
but I ain't got the time now,
and gotta wait for "confirmation" before expounding.,,
Sumbitch - methinks ya got me number
I'd love to spin somw tales bout your
neck of the woods...
but, I got to clean up some **** before I can proceed...
Hey, mino,
ya got a clue why I thought you is on dat island in the Mediterain?
ya, I know my spelling sucks - to lazy to punch up dictionary.com
Hey BRM...You can trust the scroll lock here at DVX, but then again if you did I wouldn't recognize you Besides your helping me get some of the peanut butter out of my scroll wheel.
Yes I live in Vancouver, Burnaby actually. I get up in the morning and stare at wonderful mountains from my office / den, or I can look the other way and see Washingtons answer to mount Fuji. Of course if I look down, I see the vast expanse of the Metrotown Mall roof. I always feel lucky to be living here. I've been to one worlds fair, a picnic and a rodeo and I gotta say This is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.
brmclaughlin, hey Ihop accpets your appologies. Ihop is a young grasshopper of mine. He say's no big deal but next time he will send his stunt team after you.
Yes, your remarks was a little harsh. I myself is a former ESL student.
I do not know how to "behave myself" in here...
I am working at figuring it out, and not knowing
how, where my msgs will appear..
please bear with me,
my flounderings like a fish out of water,
while I figure out
where in the hell
why in the hell
any of these texts apear anywhere...
I kinda figure, that Pooh took away my trainig wheels,
to watch me "flounder"
My "centeredness" loves it
trains me
Current challenge is: where the hell am I,
what the hell am I doing here???
It is my intention to hang in here
in order to be of value to whomever,
and to benefit from the generosity of members
At times, I screwup - I will be accountable for all of my actions
and I do not intend to curtail my promiscuous postinge...
If I am DIRECTLY addressed by my "superiors",
I will, in my best abilities, adhere to their directions!
"spidey",
I do not know which forum I am in,
but I do know you are one that you are worthy of addressing...
I'm two and a half shits to the wind...
and wanting to let you know
I am greatful of being in your presence
Gotta get off the keyboard, in here, right now,
before I screwup again...
and can not resist my continuence...
mostly because...
in my limited experience,
I ain't seen much "prose" from you,
my friend...
"my friend" cause you were the first to respond to my "intro"
and now to this thread - not sure where I am - don"t care
cause , it is all good
I am here in Tucson AZ, where this is the primo time of the year!
There has been some winter rains -
maybe a georgeous spring wll follow...
if so, there will be magnificent bloomings...
Mino,
Please exscue me,
I must retire from this enviornment now.
