Think twice before you post

[atticus]

The best way of ensuring that you do not make a spectacular fool of yourself - as someone did here not long ago - is to reflect on your post before clicking "submit".

I thought it had all been a dream when I woke up this morning.

Least said . .

but the principle is exactly correct.

Oh dear... There were several posts that I didn't post on Sunday night... Which one did I forget not to not post?

[dls]

No, it was the other one.

Tetris, people have the right to make fools of themselves chum. And have you forgotten what TRUTH needs? Contradiction. You should embrace it all , not encourage people to shut up, nor post freely.

Those attitudes of yours, are what creates all the little ' peer pressure ' groups on people . As the sheep try to keep the other sheep in order. Let people be individuals , you were born an individual , don't die a clone , for Christ sakes.


To all people, post freely, don't fear people like tetris, or others, telling you to shut up, clear off. On these boards we have supposed ' enlightened ones ' screaming ,

' Stop fucking talking about it '

So, post freely everyone, as soldiers go off and die so we can all argue .

How about, tetris, you vet everyones post first, see if it meets YOUR approval ? The thing is,tetris, some folks don't got no peer approval hang ups, so they can post freely !

You need some Pot Fish down yer neck matey, it gives you brains !

CB - You are quite happy to show the world what a fool you are. Fine. You do not ask for threads you have started to be deleted.

Others do. Others have. It is to them that my post was addressed.

You do not ask for threads you have started to be deleted.

Others do. Others have. It is to them that my post was addressed.

Do we have a policy on that? Or can we establish one?
If the post has not been answered then the poster can delete it themselves, if it has, then the thread cannot be deleted without removing another's work.

My "Huh?" comment was integral to that thread.

I'm saddened it was removed

What is the matter with you Tetris ? Do you feel you need to be RIGHT all the time, or that you need pats on the back from other's to validate your very being ? If you are addressing individuals on a public board, which has many members, you might be better naming them , or private messaging, else it's all open to anyone to speak and post freely , er, isn't it....... Ohh wait a minute NO, as you would like people to stop posting at times, don't you ?

I expect you would go along happily deleting all those awkward topics, are things YOU disagree with ?


Just attempt to discuss thread topics. Let go of the personalities you dream up who are posting. Focus on the topic, not the posters.

Lets get this straight, I'm 100% wrong, all the time, very silly , foolish and I have a small penis. Now that you understand that, you are now free to attempt to discuss thread topics. As I'm helping you move on to that position, of letting go the need to label the fools, etc .....



Now, sincerely if you have problems with this, I have a tip which may help some of this behaviour ease a bit.... (everyone try this ) next time you are in the bath and you want a pee, don't get out... just let go and pee in the bath.... and let all those niggly hang ups flow .. just flow.. out of you..... and realise you are free to pee in the bath....... free to speak your mind freely........ free to make a fool of yourself ..... free to accept others... free to change views in an instant.... free... feel any stresses leave your body in that moment of you choosing to pee in the bath and let go......


Try it..... (and for those who already do it, well , more direct approaches might be better)
