Maestro, i'm sorry.

Here Comes!

I refuse to speak those words in fear of losing my dignity, but I'll take that photo... cough nipslip

I like that Maestro has stayed out of this thread; I think that's kept it to this Jr. high school level.

I also like that none of the participants here has gotten so upset that they've spammed about it in a bunch of unrelated threads.

Otherwise this thread is mighty lame.

I can't say that I'm happy to report that this is one of the most entertaining threads I have seen in a long time.

That statement is just a gem. In fact I am going to quote it in my profile. Thank you very much.

You're both annoying. Maestro in a smart way, you in a dumb way.

[Dane M]

I thought this was pretty funny.

Did you ask Graham if you could post that? If not, that would be pretty crappy of you. Maybe you don't understand the concept of a private message. -1

Cool of Graham to be thoughtful of you. +1

[Dane M]

I'm fine with him. But if he didn't want it to be seen then he should have asked me not to show it, which I would have respected. I just find it funny that people act one way in a public thread, and then more like a real-person in a private message. I think people might like the real Graham.

And everyone knows that nothing is private. I think that Graham made a bad image of himself in this tread, and I posted something that made him look better. I don't think that makes me a bad person.

Even if he may have wanted to keep this false "persona" going, I am done with it.

That's not how PMs work.

If you would like to label me as the bad guy now, that's fine, you can do whatever you want. I know that I am a good person and that I do my best. But I'm rather tired of this thread.

The blue forums always look like they're old style to me.
Pink just looks so young and hip and IN.

I like blue, it's relaxing and non-distracting. Plus I am on my computer a lot for my work, so I try to avoid eye-irritants.

He made an attempt to privately show you some respect and put your mind at ease that he wasn't trying to attack you. By posting his private message it's clear you were trying to publicly humiliate him.
But IMO that totally backfired. Now it appears you are rationalizing to save face.

At least not with you!

Welcome to the internets?
Some people are the same face-to-face, some are completely opposite.
That's all part of the fun.

Looking back at your posts in this thread... you can pretty much tell the responses you'd get back. In the future, if you don't want to spar, don't hit the Submit Reply button.

I think you're reaching a little too far. I'm not one to mask my intentions, it wastes too much time, and there is no benefit. I generally try to find the good in everyone, and if possible, the humor in every situation. You can try reading further into that psychologically, but again, I think it would be a waste of both of our time.

I posted the PM simply because I don't like drama for the sake of drama, our culture seems to thrive on it, but it drives me absolutely insane. I also posted it because I thought it was interesting and because I thought it showed a nicer side of our OP, which he might not like, but I thought it was important.

And as for the privacy thing, we live in the real world, and if it were something that made him look bad it would be a completely different story. I have no problem with him, and I should hope that he still has no problems with me, because my intention was not to cause more drama or to make fun of the OP further.
