It's become cool to be a dick behind a computer screen. Dallas, this is enough. Calling the old guard..

IP,
How is my post beating a dead horse? I guess now that the LK ass kissing has run it's course you have determined that this thread is over.

Ok this is pretty funny. I used the ignore feature for the first time on budman and I had to go read what he wrote because someone called and told me I really ought to. So I did.

He's right in saying we are no better when we call other people names and dog on them.

You are missing what I was saying in the Begining. I don't care who's being an ass. If you are berating someone or desperately trying to inject hurtful comments with the sole purpose of causing pain, you'll be called out. Hell, call me out. I've been plenty guilty of that in the past and will probably be guilty in the future. It will literally take everyone that contributes to make this a better place.

Budman, I've not done one thing to attack you. I pointed out your posting history and the kind of spirit you display when you do post. You have gone out of your way to try and make little digs on me in these two threads. For what? To make yourself feel bigger and smarter? Let me save you some time. You probably ARE bigger and smarter than me. It's not that difficult. My ducks are smarter than me. (those little bastards really are too)

You are quite literally giving a huge chunk of your time and energy trying to chip away at someone that makes no difference in your life whatsoever. It takes a great deal of tedious effort to do all the quoting in that one post. You are allowing me control over part of your life. Why? The people that have posted here and I have a long history. Way longer than you've probably been around. We have finally been fed up with the mean streak here. Why would you intentionally defend the mean side? You had a couple really good posts then you sprinkle in asshole. I excel in asshole. Its pretty difficult to get to me these days. I'm not mad or offended or want to rake your face over hot coals at all. You could be the quirky assholeish kind of guy in the family. I'm down for that.

But seriously, you're not going to win a fight we refuse to have. God bless you today and may it bring you peace to you and yours.

Kayla, I agree! I didn't like what I saw on that other post. I said it there and I will say it again....sadists man, nothing but sadists. And that my friends, is why I don't advertise here on Eccie! I come here to learn, the alerts, and for the screening aspect of it all. I've learned alot about how to handle different situations. But the bottom line is, there are too many sadists here out to make you look bad FOR NO REASON! Sadists.

LK,
I think the only dig I directed at you was the "threAD" issue. The LK ass kissing comment was not directed at you but at the ass kissers. I don't know you or your posting history so my opinion is based soley on these two threads. Good luck on your quest to make ECCIE a commune of love and tranquility. Can't we all just get along.

Calling out the white knights for her , but i have to say this statement sure applies here. "The Pot calling the kettle black" YOu have done exactly what you are condeming, Very harsh remarks about other providers that were untrue and hurtful. Take the princess crown off you think you deserve. LOL

i beg to differ w/ both of you - "do unto as you would have them do unto you" has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with america, democracy, republic or 1st or 3rd world countries. Originally Posted by pmdelites

so what he was an asshole, i could have used worse words to describe him. I think i went pretty east considering some of the names i was called. If the word asshole offends you maybe you should crawl into a cave and live there forever.

And how is kayla's thread a threAD?? I personally think she has some great things to say.

TX,
I'm not sure if this was directed at me or not. Try to be a bit more direct in the future. Assuming this was directed at me let me reply. I am not criticizing any of you for calling him names. I am criticizing you for being hypocrites. Personally I think sometimes calling someone an asshole or worse is justified. Just don't preach to me about calling someone names while you practice the same fucking treatment of others.

Jules,
I thought you handled it perfectly in the beginning. You took it as an opinion and told them to leave the pic up. You were getting publicity out of this thread and were booking plenty of customers (or is it clients). Good for you. But now you seem offended and hurt and acting like a victim. Get over it.

The term asshole does not offend me in the least. Just like bitch, cunt, whore, cocksucker, dickhead or any other name you care to throw out. You don't have the power to hurt my feelings. Good luck trying.

As far as how her threAD is an AD. I have already explained that. Go back and find it if you so desire.

Budman it WAS NOT directed to you at all , it was to LK,aka softplacetoland, Seems she still has that old a**d attitude that someone died and left her in charge. Again the pot calling the kettle black. What about all the hurtful remarks to providers you yourself as one has done to other providers.

HA! nobody is playing victim i love it!!! I simply stated the facts. You seem uptight maybe you could use some pussy

Once upon a time there was a girl that had the world by the tail. Everything I did was successful, helped and made others lives better. I made the mistake of falling in love. That most tragic of emotions that can raise up empires, send mountains crashing into the ocean and topple gods. It was a forbidden love, but it was already too late. It crept inside me and corroded every corner of my soul. I began to ignore my friends and step casually into situations I should never have been involved with. I missed one of my best friends weddings because of the absent minded way I was living my life. I wasn't there for the people that needed me and depended on me. After awhile the love went sour, as all forbidden loves do. I started to change. Not gradually, but literally over night the love turned to hate, then bitterness, then all out evil.

I stretched out my hand trying to grasp for anothers, but I had grown horribly huge spikes from mine and they stabbed and hurt every single person I tried to reach out too. In my mind I thought they were rejecting me when I needed them the most and it fed the bitterness. Then I came back here, but things weren't the same. I was different. The board was different. The evil on the board fed the evil in my heart. It poured out around me and contaminated everyone that came close. It's so much easier to give in to dark moods because there are so many people that would gladly share the darkness. The light was far, far down the tunnel. I even forgot what the light looked like for a time.

I spoke evil, mean and hateful remarks as easily as breathing. What had happened to me? This wasn't me. This was a perverted version that I was allowing to manifest with no challenge. Slowly, over a period of about 8 months, I began to remember what it was to be me again. The storm had passed and with great effort I turned around to see the damage my hurricane had left in it's wake. What I saw knocked the breath out of me. Cat 5 damage. There was nothing left but broken or dead people. As the water receded I could see more clearly the sheer amount of damage I caused..... me. It was all my fault. All of it... down the last broken straw.

I looked desperately for some assurance that I could fix this, or help my broken friends. But as they turned away from me to take the hand of another to lead them away limping I could only stand there and stare... in shock... in devastation... But I had no right to feel their devastation when I'm the one that inflicted every oz of their pain.

How can there be hope, or redemption for someone like me....


You can't unring a bell. You can't take back a post or a text or a lie. The damage is done. It can never be undone. ever.


I can do nothing to change my past actions. There's not an I'm sorry big enough to cover what I have been guilty of in my life. Shoot, there's not an ocean big enough to cover it.


I can't promise I'll be perfect from here on out. I can't promise I'll never stab someone and twist the knife... but I can promise, I will work with every cell in my body to choose the right thing and work to bring peace (or war, if that's what's right.)

My only redemption will be what I choose each day as it comes. Every single choice I make will affect everyone around me. Even those that are lost to me will still be affected by choices I make. I hate that. It's a lesson I still struggle with. I still feel as though I'm slapping my victims in the face when I truly work to do what's right because I wronged them so badly. How can an evil woman change her path? One careful step at a time....

And with that this has run it's course....thanks for mostly keeping this on kinda civil.
