Farewell

[freaky-styley]

if you reread what i wrote it was not a dig at you and im sorry if you thought that i was simply stating that the last coment made before mine was still to argue a point that was needless to be argued anymore (maybe i read wrong if so my mistake an i hold up my hands to that)

 

[freaky-styley]

oh an by the way for the record, i did not tell EVERYONE to get a life just the people who see fit to argue a case after its past and theyve done the damage!

Right, let's sum up:
1- OC calls Serp a complainer, moaner, bickerer, and whiner.

2- Serp says "I know you are but what am I?"

Conclusion, Serp is an elitist bully.

Sure thing.

 

[freaky-styley]

ok i think it would be fare to call it a day now everyones had there say, maybe all positive from now on sorry to anyone i may have offened!

Serp isn't going to stop until you guys admit he's right. I'd just give in now.

Serp, all this whining, bitching and pitching a fit, get over it...

Agree to Disagree

I watched the thread transpire that caused OC to leave. If I understood it correctly, OC was an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire as he was trying to transact business. But on the other hand, I understand where everyone was coming from but I truly do nto believe any of it was directed at OC. I will just say that some things are not for public forum and that should be considered before doing so. But if you post something that may offend others, be prepared to suffer the ramifications. I see many on this site will flame others and some will blow it off. Would I have handled the original issue differently? Absolutely, but thats just me and much of who I am is that I have life experiences that have molded me. Do I think the issue was handled poorly, not really. The guy put himself out there whether or not he meant it like it was taken and again I go back to IF YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE.....Be prepared...

We are not always going to like everyone we deal with. Unfortunately in this environment you do not know the intent as words have no emotions. I elect to blow things off and do not let them get to me. But I would not leave the forum. Rich has the ability to throw folks out of here and I assume he would do so if he feels the need. I always look at things as opportunites and this is an opportunity for all to learn from. I am not sure what it is yet but I am sure I will have an ah ha moment. And when I do, I will let you know.... :shrugs:

Please allow me to retort the statements that were posted regarding non-personal meanings. Explain to me how the inflection ( word choice not representative of emotion or meaning ) is absent in this statement:

Bicker, Whine, Moan, Complain.

The guy is listing what he has into his sunglows. Thats all.

Hijacking others threads and turning them into a flame-fest is pointless.
Are you buying a sunglow from him? If not, then keep your comments on his advertising and breeding preferences out of this particular thread, which is intended for his sale of the clutch he is preparing.

It needed to be said. Flame me if you want.

Watch out, Zach! OC just might tell ya that you have no life!!

:nyah:

I voted selectively bred amel. And Good Lord, we better have minimum standards, otherwise we'll get into some more "granite", "Raider", "mocha", "lavender", blahblahblah contests.

Yet another personal statement, insulting to say the least. Not directed towards me...but placed in a public forum.

These are just a couple pieces of evidence I wish to present to those who state they have done nothing wrong, and "Dont mean anything by it"

For those who care, I have decided to remain on this board, but will no longer be posting at ANY point. I feel this is the best way to continue learning ( which i have done a LOT of, those who know me know me from day 1 when i first got Kaa ). If you wish me to post pics of Kaa, Phantom, or Vlad I would be happy to email them to you, but they will not be posted here.

My email for contact is [email protected] or you can PM me here and I'll check those.


Regards,

OC

I won't explain to you how the inflection is absent until you explain to me how the title in your post you lifted that from is equally absent. For the record, you told me I needed to get a life - a personal statement placed in a public forum. For the record, your post preceded my aforementioned quote by at least two hours.

Do you work in public relations? Who exactly are you trying to kid here?

"Evidence" overruled. Objection sustained.

Let's see, here's me conceding a point and making fun of my own position:

http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=63667&postcount=33

And here's me freely admitting I was wrong about something:

http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=40245&postcount=8 (I had originally told Rich, back in 2001, that I wasn't going to buy anything from any breeders who wouldn't supply background lineage information about the animal. I then realized what that involved and not only changed my position, I bought more animals from Rich in 2002. I was wrong about something in a private conversation and posted my retraction in a public discussion.)

I do not marry myself to my opinions or ideas. I have changed positions many times based on new information or a good point made. There are plenty of examples on record in these forums. If you read some of the long discussions I've been involved in, you will find them quite often. I already know I'm an arrogant argumentative know-it-all jerk, but I do not needlessly hang on to a point that holds no water, or use "last word" tactics like "you're a bully" or "you always have to have the last word" to try to get out of it. You're welcome to believe whatever characterizations you want about me, but it doesn't make them true.

LOL... i too love that quite. i allmost got flamed out of existance using it here once, so i refrain from mentioning it

I had a friend that once told me that "arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, yeah you might win but you're still retarded."

 

[Jimmy Johnson]

don't get me started....LOL

Luvofthechase..

I was wondering what you would think about that...lol

you know my feelings on that little comment but since our discussion I have seen it pop up several times.
Better to thicken my skin and ignore it, much easier that way.

The real problem is.......I still haven't even won a race...LOL

Oh, poor Jimmy. Man, that is REALLY bad!! Guess you had better keep practicing, hey? LOL :rofl:

That would be incorrect. OC was not making a deal with anybody, instead, he posted about hijacking the thread with this 'Whine, Bicker, Moan" comment, and then got upset and did the exact same thing when Serp commented on his post.

Just setting the facts straight, just the facts.

Serp made the point clearly. OC made his post, told people to get a life, and then got all in a huffy when someone posted the same thing back to him.

What did he expect people to say? 'Okay folks, let's all sign-off and go get a life!!!!'

 

[OCsnakeman]

...

Wow.

You people are still talking about this?

All i can say is wow.

 

[Joejr14]

Wow. I thought you weren't posting again? Guess that didn't last too long, eh?

 

[princess]

Wow.

All i can say is wow.

Yeah, I can't believe it either but that seems to be a general theme here...I haven't been here in 3 days, I come back and it's still on the stove!
