Okay, so i did not get off to the right start on these forums, thus the reason I posted a second post "introducing myself". I feel that just saying something loud and clear will make me feel better, so here goes: I am going to be a bigger man from thus forth and try and just have fun. I took this site tooo seriously at 1st, and when i didn't get responses, that I acted in a childish and ridiculous manner at times. That being said, They say you "live you learn"and this is a prime example- I may have acted the way i did and I WAS wrong, but I found out that there are people on this forum that are huge jerks and I really hope to never encounter them again unless for positive reasons. There I said it.....now I'll move on and everythings cool.

Allow me to paraphrase, for those who may not be able to read what you really just wrote.

"I behaved like an ass, but it was all someone else's fault!"

Not exactly progress, is it?

David, i am one of the most laid back, understanding, nicest people you will ever meet, but this is getting annoying. you are taking this way too seriously. this is a great forum filled with hobbyists with an amazing amount of knowledge. just because you post a thread and only 4 people replied doesn't mean everyone else is a jerk. i personally have replied to your threads when i had something to say. you may see that 83 people looked at your thread, and only a few replied, but so what? maybe if you stopped whining about not being "liked" and just tried to relax, you might see a change in the way you are viewed. if you are here just to get your post count up or see how many people you can get to reply, then you are in the wrong place.

Holly...thank you for that ending note. That is the main person that I had a problem with. Thats right- HAD a problem with (now I just want to ignore him). I am about to block everything from him in a moment anyway, so no worries...cause thats whats best for the site. As for Fuzzylogics's comment....okay, cool. Its a hard pill to swallow but I accept that as critisism. i have acted like that in the past on here and openly admit it, but things have changed, and I am not going to feel bad about one last rant and rave in the "ranting and raving" section. Now that I am done complaining (fuzzylogic), i will be posting regularly and if noone likes the post....like you said, OH WELL! If they do like it, than respond away! Either way this is my weird way of appologising and moving on. Accepted? Hope to have all kinds of fun on this site and not have a care in the world.

you're cool with me. if you post something that interests me, i have no issues replying. but it's the self-pitying posts that just grate on people's nerves. this is an awesome place like i said, but you can't take things so seriously. just because someone doesn't reply is not an indication of "liking" you or not. if you just sit back, relax, and watch for a while, you will notice there are a lot more "lurkers" here than actual active participants. there are thousands of members here, but probably only a good 20 or 30 that are here daily and actively conversing. it's just how it is. the amount of replies you get to a post has absolutely no bearing on your popularity here. it's just about what and why you are posting. my best advice would be to just check out the forum, read everything you can, and reply in a constructive manner to other's posts. you will find that they will gladly reciprocate.
