Well, I'm sure you have seen me floundering with trying to get my "Crossing the Line" post up here.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
But I still can't figure out what is going wrong.
It's just a MS Word file like all my other texts. I am copying it from the Wiord file and pasting it into a "new topic" on this board. When I do so, I don't get the usual screen that shows it took, instead I get the whole text with some knd of strange characters imbedded in it here and there, but it's not inside of a frame or box or anything, it's just margin-to=margin across my screen.
The original Wird file did have some fancy formatting on it - paragraph indents, different spacing, bold fonts etc., and I went back over it and turned all of that off. Still no cigar.
Yes cut and paste your text to notepad or wordpad (store it and open it again?), then you will lose that surplus data.
You may have to re-edit a bit of your layout if you used fancy stuff (after reopening in those simple editors).
Brilliant deduction. Yes,, they are all bad, but I married one anyway because I am crazy.
If you think they are all good and you want me to gloss over the realities and say it's all a big fantasy land of love and joy, maybe you ought to go somewhere else. If you want some suggestions where to go, just contact me offline and I will be happy to tell you.
As with other attackers, if you've got a bone to pick with me, let's go offline and spare everybody else the drama. I'm not hiding behind any aliases or a keyboard. Why are you?
My opinion of Russian women who use Western men just to get out of FSU is very low, as is my opinion of the so-called "marriage agencies" that facilitate that usury in the name of making a buck. In the end both the Western man and the Russian woman both lose. That was the gist of my little parody about marrieage agency owners, "romance socials," and the Russian women who attend them looking for easy marks. You may not like the picture I painted, but more often than not, that is how it goes down at the socials.
But the Western men aren't all angels either. In most cases it is they, in their desperation to get married to beautiful women who are not in their league, who corrupt the russian women and cause them to lose respect and act so.
Forgive me for bringing too much reality into your fantasy. Nobody's making you read my stuff. If you don't like what you see, just go to another thread and we will get alomg fine.
Our bone as you say doug is you walk in here like you are the king and tell us we are all stupid and errogant when in truth it is you that has balls coming in here and trying to force market your business and your methods. You are shocked that we could dare see through your little infomercial and can't understand hostility when you lash out at innocent statements made by me and others. If you do not like our opinion then we invite your to not leave yours. Oleg has been far to polite to you and I must say I for one would like to see much more of it removed. You will find your bully tactics will be met with much resistance as we don't always agree but most here have the brain power to see your agenda here.
Ahh, the two insecure guys gang up on the new guy who is threatening their little fantasy land about what great big studs they are with Russian women. Internet cowards. I love it.
What would you use as ammunition against me if I hadn't so conveniently given you the marketing agenda angle?
Which, by the way I disclosed from the outset so it's not really the big, bad hidden agenda you keep whining about.
Do you have a problem with reading comprehension? You say that if I don't like your opinions I shouldn't leave mine, but I'm not stating my opinions. I've been telling stories, and you and your little butt-buddy have been sniping at them from the bushes. This particular topic had absolutely no opinion in it. I was asking for technical help.
O.K., so you are a desperate, lonely guy who takes his hostility out on a message forum. Great. Leave me out of it.
I haven't called you stupid and arrogant, you are doing a pretty good job of proving that on your own.
Yes, I have some balls. And you? You have not yet showed any. Unless you think that trying to trick Russian women into using email boxes you set up for them so you can spy on them is ballsy. I keep encouraging you to take up your beef offline and quit boring everybody here with your drama. But I haven't heard from you yet. So I'm guessing you are just a cartoon character, or just some freak coward hiding inside a cartoon character's identity?
No Doug you miss the point we welcomed you here and then you attack me for saying simply that your methods are no lightning difference from ours other than they are much more expensive and have virtually no more authenticity or any kind of proof that it is better. I did so in a polite mannor and you went ape. You continue to call people names and then hide behind your I will not start trouble routine. Simply put your story is long and boring. It is less than flattering to you or the subject that yes many of us are here for and as I said before leave your opinion is fine but be ready to hear ours as well. This is a two way street and if you don't want to hear our opinion then don't bother to leave yours.
As far as my name it has nothing to do with cartoon characters but I see where your education comes from. Again your great creditials are from where? Your expert opinion here is from your one marriage. You have some research supporting your claims that our methods will not work and the women we find that speak english and have careers that match our own lifestyles and interest makes us stupid. Funny you are trying to make a living off your wife. Did you research that as well in your snail mail campaine. Bet thats where you got your creditials as well some mail order house. Please save your insults for people that are influenced by such.
Maybe you should pay more attention to what you write...specially if you seem to think yourself a great writer!

shaggy47435,
That was kind of a cheap shot. I don't really have any interest in online dueling or pissing-matches, and am trying to avoid getting into one with you. However, I am not one to let a cheap shot go by.
I was trying to help you, not market you. Olga doesnot sell Russian women's addresses. She is not in the crooked, so-called "marriage agency" business, and your insinuations that she is are not appreciated or welcome. Olga is in the communications business. And believe me, she is not interested in working with stubborn, know-it-alls. Being naieve and inexperienced is one thing, but thinking you know it all when you don't is another. For one thing, guys with your attitude almost always end up in train wrecks and don't make good references as a result.
Your reply above is frought with poor assumptions, false statements, and just plain ignorance about "the process." Your approach is not a good one at all. It wreaks of corner-cutting and cheapness. And those, among other things will bring your more headaches than results.
You have also demonstrated complete ignorance and lack of foresight about what it will really be like should you be lucky enough to get a nice Russian girl over here and married to you.
But again, I am not interested in getting into it with you, so I am not going to detail each and every one of your false statements and assumptions.
Live and let live, I always say. One man's hell is another's paradise. etc. No more cheap shots or libelous statments about my wife's business from you - no more sharp comebacks from me. Sound fair?
And as always, the best of luck to you and we really do hope you succeed, no matter what crazy approach you use. I say this with all sincerity. Each success and happy ending makes it better for all of us - for those who are already married to Russian women, as well as for those who will come after you.
For those wanting the entire text of his attacks and to see the post this refers to please see stats from the letter king thread! I knew when I wrote it there would be laughs but I did not know one would be a living joke.
personally if i would have such a glorious wife and marriage as you do i would be making dinner with my wife together and making love for hours. why you would still want to be involved with this russian woman concept (is not) a mystery to me. i know why you are here. if i was in your shoes i would have shut down to this when i said the words "I DO". everyone has to make a buck.
If you want to publish your book here try smaller pieces. They will stink less and then show up. There are limits to the amount of text in these boxes and I bet your issue is the size of the log. Again doesn't make sense to you but try it and it will work.
I have to admit I was amazed, and at first a little dissapointed that this thread survived the cutting process of others written or started by our conceited and arrogant visitor. But maybe its just as well. Anyone who needs reminding of just how useless the guy was can look back on this thread and see for themselves.
