No, I have a shiny, therefore thats whet we need to keep the conversation about in the thread. :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:
 
Oh, ok...because I was confused by your last post where you referred to your badge as a sign that you're maturing. Thanks for clarifying that, and congrats on winning your badge. That was really nice of gelshark to provide it for you.
 
Well I am leaving to go to the petstore and wal mart to get stuff for the herps so lets see what happens when I get back shall we?

I haven't been following this thread. I don't know what a shiny is, but congrats on getting it. What is a shiny anyway?
 
Gosh David..Nothing will happen at all. I thought the world revolved around you. *giggles* BTW...if the wireless keyboard is the reason for all your typos and mixed grammer/incomplete sentences...can you please get something else?
 
A "shiny" is...(drum roll!)...

our CS slang for the shiny, bright, Contributor button that David now has on his profile / posts!

David, Oren gave you some good advise, I hope your will read and think about it. Don't just blow it off as an unfair attack.

David, I hate to be the one to point this out, but even WADE thinks that Oren gave you good advice. So six other people and your hero Wade are thinking Oren's post was a good one, and spot on as well.

Consider it.
 
You don’t want to admit that here Lucille. Look at what has happened to David.

In fact you don’t want to be my friend on this thread, the girls will get you.

I advocate treating people decently.

David, I have said so in the past but it was of little use. All I can do is say it again and hope it means something new to you.

I for one never called you any names out of anger- I have protected you several times, and at times you took the liberty to have a go at me, I simply stated some of your faults, as I see them.

I think you are a very bright kid, with a lot of potential. That said, I also think you are at times very arrogant, believing you have earned a guru like status because you chose to keep some ratsnakes other people are less interested in.... doing things like telling new keepers to send you PM's rather listen to others here for instance, even if you didn't mean to, sends a very strong message.

Also, only a child needs/demands a constant flow of feedback about every little step he makes- still water runs deep. If you are as confident as you claim to be in your abilities, stop posting absurd threads of "I think about getting a green anaconda" type. Some people will approve, others will not, but by not giving stage and simply showing that you decide things by yourself based on your own established sense of judgment- you will emit a very different impression.

You are not a "victim", as far as I know, Jesus is not your middle-name. If anything, you are dealing with the consequences of your attitude, and instead of blaming the whole world for it... I think it's about time you take some of that responsibility on yourself.

Being young does guarantee impulsiveness at times, and a sense of over-confidence... but it's not an excuse to be rude, or patronizing, as you have done.

Part of being an adult is to realize that none of us is perfect, and we all have things to work on. Blaming the whole world for how we are being treated is childish... and I know at least one significant man in my life who still does... and it is sad, because it really leads to quite a horrid existence... and I say that with a lot of remorse, for that man is my father.

In this thread for instance, you could have done without the rudeness, and not reply every time you repped someone- just do it and hush.
A person who declares every hiccup is simply unsure of himself- and will get negative comments about it.

Just my two cents, do with it as you will. I guess I have tried to reply in this thread as I have done in several others of your making because I sincerely think you have a lot of potential... it's not very easy for me to convey everything like this in a second language... granted, I use English all the time, but it is more of an effort than speaking Hebrew- I have done so in the hopes that you will actually make use of it.

I am far from being perfect, God knows, and I do too- and I own up to my faults... I hope you will do the same.

Cheers,

Oren.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Kokopelli again.

I haven't read the thread, but I think we should all treat everyone decently. I like you a lot Wadiepoo, not afraid to be with my friends here or anywhere.
Anyway, I got my shiny almost exactly a month ago, the day I opened the tonk.

I been looking around to move, and saw a couple of real tonks for sale, briefly thought about it, but naaaaah. Still, a nice picture, Lucille's Texas Tonk up in lights.

Oren- a good and thoughtful post.

Robbie the OP of the morph thread said that he understands my point.
Click to expand...

She, not he :)

I don't mind posts from people not liking a particular morph - I think it makes threads more interesting to not ust have agreeable opinions. The difference is how you say it though. Just saying "wow, amel sure does ruin charcoal!" on a blizzard thread isn't really constructive or adding anything to the thread. Posting to say "I'm not a big fan of blizzards, but I like how intense the yellow is on that example", in my opinion, gives more to the thread.

Anyhoo, just my thoughts there.
 
I agree. I do that all the time. If I can see someone is so proud of their snake, which is a beautiful example of its morph, (though it may not be a morph I personally like!) and have taken the time to take nice photos, edit them, post them, then I can surely find something to complement the snake or the photography on without voicing my opinion that it isn't a morph I am currently interested in. And I still feel that when someone is showing off their snake, their kid, their artwork, their cooking, etc., if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Or use the phrase we use in Minnesota for those occasions, "That's different!"
 
I want to make it clear I appriciated Oren's post and I will rep him shortly. *back to snake chores and a break from the forums!*
