WTF???

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Why is using the term "Victory Parade" such a crime???

I'm keeping my mouth shut over the whole thing (well, publicly anyway) as long as I can.

BUT, this is what I keep wanting to post:

Well if nothing else, at least this discussion addresses any concerns one might have over the 'ego factor.'

And then I roll my eyes.

Were some of the posts deleted in that thread? Conor's been really sick, throwing up and everything else, and I am trying to catch up. I closed the Black Hole thread for now, until I can go back and read the whole thread. I'll be back.

 

[PaulSage]

I didn't delete anything.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I don't think anything has been deleted.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Who deleted posts?

 

[BalloonzForU]

Not me!!!

All I have to say is Marcia, I love you for starting the poll! It's been fun to see everyone's opinions.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Has anyone noticed that only a 'couple of people' actually have a problem with the poll? I am actually thrilled that the POLL and the BLACK HOLE threads have managed to stay respectful (except for Frank's hissy-fit) and professional! I think all of us as breeders can learn something from this.

Soooo... what's wrong with saying "victory parade"??? I honestly don't see why panties got bunched up over it. Can anyone enlighten me?

I can only guess that Alberto took that as you saying he was celebrating and thinking he was better than someone else. He didn't want that to be the what anyone thought.

Again, this is only a guess. I did not see it that way either but I do understand how it could be mistaken as a potshot.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

It wasn't meant as a 'potshot'...

 

[PaulSage]

I'd better go to bed because if I bite my tongue any harder it'll be another trip to the ER.

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

It wasn't meant as a 'potshot'...

Like I said, I didn't see it that way either but to someone already on the defensive... it might seem that way.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I honestly meant it that he shouldn't let all the 'discussion' about the 'what to name a black hole' interfere with his new baby.

(In all honesty, I think Alberto is making an ass out of himself.)

Well that would certainly make for an interesting poll... :main_lipsrsealed:

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Well, "the threads" are finally dying down. I guess enough people showed their true colors?

 

[Mel&Keith]

I didn't create the POLL to single out any individual. It DID get too personal, but I think the individual(s) that took it personally was perhaps due to "the shoe fitting".

LOL, Marcia! I'm kind of glad it all went down they way it did. Sometimes I just get a bad impression from people that I can't shake. I thought it was rude that he would never respond back to us when I had problems with geckos he sent us. I tried to let it go but maybe I wasn't so off base. Ehh, whatever...

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Well, he made it VERY clear that he really doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks, and it's all about the money. Unfortunately, I have had lots of PM's and a few call from folks that said they were glad about the poll and would never buy a gecko from A&M after the way he came across in the poll/thread.

It's hard for me to bite my tongue after what he did to Kelli and the Enigma Raptor project. I need to mind my own business and not let my personal feelings interfere with GF stuff. I tried to do that with the poll, but I guess it must have been taken differently.

Dan Poe was the only one that had the balls to say what he really thought. I agreed with everything he said, but should have kept that to myself, too.

It sucks being a human.

I just come here for the arcade nowadays!
