It seems as though my post has angered some of the members here so I've removed it. Sorry to everyone who I've "rubbed" the wrong way. It wasn't my intention at all.
Cheers,

Huh, that was a good post, you haven't angered anyone, what on earth gave you that impression ???

It's not good form to remove posts, that may anger some

Lets just say that I've received some PM's. Last thing I want to do is anger anyone or cause any trouble. I just want this post to end before I get in any more trouble, make anybody else mad, or stick my foot in my mouth (which I'm good at).

I for one would love to see those PM's. Feel free to remove the names

Just a suggestion but I would put your original post back if I were you.

 

[grateful1]

Regardless of the PM's...it's best to put the OP back.

 

[Nimrod]

You were doing pretty good as a newbie, until you removed the original post.

But all is not lost, just put it back and everything will be fine.

That would be very interesting.

It's simple: CP BOTLs don't like ass-faces.

Ditto on what Matt said. Please feel free to forward the contents of such PMs to me. I won't make trouble for you but I would really like to know what beef members have for a guy who is liking this place enough to take the risk to share what he's learned, both for feedback and for the benefit of other new members. This really burns me the heck up.

I cannot imagine what someone could take you to task for. For being too honest? For being too wordy? For being too explicit? What? ??? None of those things are sins here (although some do apparently feel that way) and I do not agree with those that withhold explanation and elaboration for those who want it. If it is for any of these things that these "upstanding" members are flogging you for they need to rethink what it is they think they "get."

Ugaman72, keep doing what you're doing. Your heart's in the right place and I wouldn't be surprised if you got a PM in the future thanking you for sharing your experience.

???

I've heard of ass-hats, but ass-faces? Was that a general statement, or directed at someone? I'm confused.

Sorry Wilkey, I respect the heck out of you, but I gotta ask this:

Once he forwards you the PM, then what? Will you go public with it? Scold the person who sent him the PM in private or publicly? I thought PM stood for Private Message?

For what it is worth, I don't think the contents of a private message(except possibly in the case of a sell/trade gone bad) are anyone elses business. Ugaman should feel perfectly free to contact the sender of the PM and ask them for a further explanation, or a clarification, or tell them to pound sand, but I don't think sharing PM's is anyone elses business.

FYI....I've never PM'd Ugaman, but if I did, and he shared it with others, it would really piss me off.

 

[grateful1]

PM's can and have been used in threads.

It would be best if the person(s) who PM'd him spoke out in this thread.

It would be nice to see the reasons behind those PM's.

Ass-faces are like ass-hats, but with more surface area covered by said ass on the face of the aforementioned ass-face, in parallel to an ass-hat, whom is only wearing an ass on their head.

Shit... what else do you want me to say?



Edited sentence structure.

Funny, what comes to mind is the day my boyhood dog actually caught the car he was chasing. Wasn't me either.

In an unmoderated environment like we have here, standards of acceptable behavior are and have been established by the group as a whole. This group, CP, has pretty much declared that unwarranted "thuggery" is not acceptable. If threats are made in open forum, the threatener generally gets their ass handed to them on their way out the door. If someone in this community is making threats behind closed doors, I would like to have that info so I can decide whether or not to interact with that person just as I would if it was posted publicly.

I can just about guarantee that any "upstanding" member, whatever the hell that means, wouldn't have hesitated to post a "shut up newb" in the thread if it was warranted

The PM's were asked to be sent with the name of the sender removed. No one wanted to scold anyne just see what had too be said.
