I would just like to state that I am sorry for giving you grief for your posts. Please accept my apology for being overcritical but if you don't I'll understand. I'm a jerk sometimes (my wife has to remind me of this alot) and it's easy for me to spout off with harsh words. I hope I haven't caused you any pain with my insensitive remarks.

To all at SysOpt~I regret bringing flames to the spit fire's posts. I hope any others that read this will forgive me. The ladies (socalgal, starwatcher) have pointed out my thoughtlessness (in that subtle female way) and I don't like what I see in my own posts after I reread them. Thanks for the wake-up call.

I've lived in England long enough to share the British reluctance to say anything too 'gushy'. But I do have to say that this is by far the most mature and civilised computer forum I have ever come across on the Internet. Forums like those connected to Sharky, Toms or Anand seem like unruly playgrounds by comparison. It's a great place to come and share similar interests with others after work and I thoroughly enjoy it.

It's very nearly like having another family and, like real families, it's only natural that there will be the occasional harsh word or misunderstanding. But it passes . . . and perhaps we are wiser and stronger for it in the end.

I too have made comments to Cobain that may have seemed harsh if taken the wrong way. The were just in fun/jest and hope they were taken in that manner.I am sorry if they offended anyone. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/redface.gif

How delightful! I recently have returned from my home world and I am so pleased to find this thread. It is something I was planning to begin upon my return.

The one who calls himself cobain1crt is amazingly like one from a distant planet in my sector.

The Skwrmnrts (AKA Squrmn*rts, pronounced Skwrmnrts) are a proud young civilization that has had spatial outreach for about 700,000 Earth years. Every time they get near another culture, the same thing happens. They are flamed! (to use a familiar expression.)

It seems that their pride and innate intelligence masks their ability to live up to the often repeated explanations of the galactic regulations regarding interaction among life forms.

In the simplest Earth terms, There Are Rules. These do not exist for selfish or arrogant reasons, you folks got over that many days ago. The rules of communication are there to help identify the ones who can help others to prosper.

My message to the one who calls himself cobain1crt is simple ~ Communicate in the language of your listeners. If they spell words the same way every time, and you do not, recognize that they will question your message. If you present opinions or unfounded information instead of knowledge and fact, you will be found unbelievable.

I celebrate your intelligence and energy. Please give some thought to moderation and sensibility. - Magic 8-Ball

MadMax, It takes a big man to admit to his faults, I don't think you ever flamed on me personally, but I'm sure when Cobain1crt sees this your apollogy will be more than accepted along with everybody else's. Just remember, "constructive criticm" can be good sometimes, but there's not a need to be hateful to anyone. And anyone else who has been the RECIEVER of harsh words, chill out, don't take one persons words so seriously. When I was growing up I always used the thinking "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will N E V E R hurt me". You don't hear things like that anymore, because parents aren't teaching their kids what they were taught. People nowadays are halfassed raising their kids, and look where it's getting them. They just don't relize that an adults actions and thinking patterns start in the home as a child. When I was growing up, you absolutely never heard of a kid going to school and shooting classmates, now it seems to happen every other month. Anyway, we all learn from our mistakes, but that's not all we should do. We should also teach other's about the consequenses of the mistakes we've made, and hopefully they don't make the same mistakes. Life isn't just about learning, it's about teaching also, so future generations have the same chances in life that we did. Okay, I'm rambling on again, so I'll stop. This post wasn't directed at me, so maybe I shouldn't have wrote any of this, but I want to close with a couple of quotes, some of you may have heard these and maybe not:

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can see. - Mark Twain

and

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

Can't we all just get along???!!! - Rodney King (just thought I'd throw that one in there while I was at it.)
Peace,

(Can I also say sensitive? or is that too much? lol)

Your wife is a lucky woman.

I think this place is so great.
I know if I ever do something here that makes me look like a jurk. There are people here that might except my apology.
Thank http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[MadMax]

I'll let Zonker speak for himself. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif I don't wish to be part of ANY tension here.

Some ALWAYS have to be right, even if they aren't.

[Zacko10000]

Wow, its nice to see we can all get along, I've never seen any message board like this.

Note on being a jerk: I was once a big jerk to a lot of people (not here), at one point I even posted a big sign on the inside the door to my room saying "Don't be a jerk!" I don't know why, maybe it was just admitting I acted like a jerk and the sign kept reminding me but I think this helped me get over chronic jerkism...We all act like jerks at one time or another but the important thing is that we can move on and forgive eachother, not hold grudges.

Edit - Oops one mistake

[Zonker]

Max, we were both right, but neither one of us wanted to admit it to the other. I think we're more alike than different.

Max

you don't have to acknowledge me if you don't want to, it is of course your choice. My apology still stands.
