apology

[ceedee]

apparently i upset the sensibilities of some if not all of you
just having a bit of fun
didnt realise it was a crime
sorry if you were upset

[alpha]

Well, a thread on a BBS can bother me because I care about the people on this board and would hate not to be a part of this communitie.

[chipbgt]

Back to business as usual

I second chip

third.

what i did was to give my opinion on some threads which because it was negative ie i dont rate win 2k .. was deemed not to be ok with sysopt
also i had a bit of fun with myself by creating a thread and then answering myself
this was also deemed not allowed and i was accused of "upping my count" whatever that means
what i conclude from all this is that it is ok to have a opinion that agrees with whoever is posting but not ok if you disagree
also you are not allowed to have a bit of fun either
maybe im wrong but that is how i see it...

[akaBruno]

It's not whether we agree or disagree. It's all about treating each other with the respect, that we all deserve as human beings.
Now, don't get so defensive, Apologies only go so far.
I know from personal experience, because I'm not perfect either.
Gotta bite that toungue sometimes.

[ceedee]

boy oh boy
what is wrong with you people
certainly people deserve to be treated with
respect i agree
who did i not treat with respect
i said win 2k was ****e ( sorry bill gates)
i had a bit of a laff with a thread
no offence to anyone there i think
so what did i do that was so bad ?

[jman01pa]

Do I sense a bit of an attitude in your posts Ceedee?

I have been at this Forum for quite a while now. I have seen a few bad posts become ugly. This topic is heading in that direction. Spare us the arguments and apologies. Take the above advice and get down to business as usual. Good friends, Good computing and Good fun! Bottom line.

My 2-1/2 cents of course.

Ya know ceedee, I like what alpha said, that he cares about people on this board. That is not to be confused with having to agree with them, we all try to be considerate to others, and not post meaningless posts. We all like a bit of fun here, there is nothing against "Britts" I'm one of em. My advice dont take it so personally, your new, your gonna make mistakes, I did, and I'm sure others have, lets have some fun with this! does that sound fair!

[Sharpy]

Ceedee does have a point, as the post was not directed at a member but was just giving his opinion.

Then again the post was pointless non-constructive and possibly a bad choice of word's but to be flamed for it seems a bit harsh i think.

I haven't looked at ceedee's previous posts but i'd think a little restraint from members jumping on the bandwagon and flaming someone for the sake of it is even worse.

IMHO ceedee got the message from the reply's posted in that thread and after being big enough to see his mistake and apologise has been crucified for it.

Just my 2p worth.

[Warthog]

Lets just forgive and forget.

This topic is getting boring. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[ceedee]

yes biff it does sound fair
its just that i am being accused of something
although i am not too sure what
everyone is saying forget it and dont do it again
however no one will tell me what it is
i have been accused of tryin to "up my count" whatever that is....
of disrespecting someone though no one seems to know who
of taking it personally ..I dont
on top of that i now am told i have an attitude
i dont really i dont
so all i can do is carry on as usual
if i make any mistakes then i cant help it because i dont know what these mistakes are
no one will tell me
i never realised it could be so much fun
or i would have signed up ages ago

[ceedee]

thanx sharpy i appreciate a bit of support
oops there i go again posted 2 in a row
gonna get into trouble again lol

[Warthog]

I'm not sure what you did either. It really doesn't matter to me. "Uping your count" means that you post for the sake of increasing the total number of posts to attain the "status" of Senior Member,etc.

Guys, lets just forget about whatever he did, ok?? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Yeah i agree bury this thread it's drgging Sysopt to the level of some other forums i won't mention.

Sysopt is better than this, and ceedee does have a sense of humour even if it is a little strange. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Wehey this one put's me at 324 post's. I must make senior before friday. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

[ceedee]

consider the matter closed

thank you to all who have participated in these threads

btw just watched galaxy quest
i thought it was hilarious

[SysOpt]

Ceedee: the bottom line is that your posts have been unhelpful and disruptive. This is a moderated discussion. We reserve the right to determine what content appears here. If you do not agree with our policies, please go elsewhere. Otherwise, when we ask you not to reply with four word posts, we would appreciate it if you would listen. Saying that "Win2k is ****" is your preogative - but it adds NOTHING to this board or the users here. This isn't just a place to express an opinion, but to help others as well. Most users here get a lot of leeway in expressing opinions because they are ALSO helpful.

Thread closed.

I didn't see/read what it was you did.....but it takes a big person to admit they were wrong and offer an olive branch. For that, I will commend you.

Keep your chin up, your nose clean, and post in a professional/tasteful manner, and in no time you'll be an accepted member of the sysopt community http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Anyone who would let a message on a message board bother their life should take a step outside into the world and breathe fresh air while they still can. These people apparently never went to public school =) I don't know what was said, but it is just words from a person you don't know. Seek therapy if you can't take it because there is something wrong. Maybe its all the censorship I see lately that is softening us. The world would be better if we could speak our mind.

[buddmann]

madthumbs, well at least some of us respect each other and have sense enough to realize that it does affect us in one way or another.
If you can't see the rational in this then maybe you are the one that needs to step back and look around.

just my .02 cents
