"Hey buddy, can I ask you a question?"

[Gun]

Since I am participating in this discussion, I admit to being somewhat biased. As a moderator though, I say you are getting real close to trolling. You seem to be taking the attitude that the only proper response is yours, and any other is due to being influenced by the other person to the point of being controlled. I have suggested that you read over a lot of what I have written on the subject of interacting with others regarding OC. The OP has stated several times he made a choice. Apparently you would rather just formulate an opinion based on assumption. I don't really care. But keep up this current line of posting, and I am going to count it as trolling and respond accordingly.

There is no proper response, and I never suggested there was, but what I felt was good for me. There is however a reactionary response, triggered by, well, anything, and what I am getting at. Reactionary responses are not of choice. Read more here http://voices.yahoo.com/relationship...e-6842362.html

The point of my thread, quoting your post (initially), has to do with this, whether you are aware of it or not, IT HAPPENS! I’m just talking about the whys, not the morality of it. I chose not to be a reactionary unless it means I have to defend myself, or it doesn’t denigrate (my interpretation) me. I really don’t care what you or the OP, or anyone else chooses, be it reactionary or proactive. That is not my call. I’m just pointing out that sometimes we are not under our own control. Think mitigating circumstances.

As far as you are concern, you are probably one of the nicest guys to meet and hang out with, but I have never met you. Maybe I’m assuming too much from reading your other posts. That does not mean you are not reactionary. We all are, it is what makes us human, but we can control what we deem unpleasant as an emotion, if that is what we desire.

I am one of the nicest people you could meet. That is, until people find out I am a moderator here. Then I grow horns, cloven feet, and a pointy tail. Even without that, people think I am a reactionary. Truth be told, this is the best post you have made in this thread, and I appreciate your taking the time to clarify your point, as I understand it better now.

Don't feel bad. I had numerous holes in the sheet-rock after he left Sunday. Damn horns!
