Olga,
why don't you lock this damn thread once and for all?
I has done absolutely nothing but exacerbate the whinning and the put down of all the whiners by those of us who do not, thus closing the loop on a vicious cycle.
Close the damn thing, please
Do not lock it because toad asked, that will only make it worse olga. That exact thing is some of the problem here and will only serve to show that you put him and his agender above others
Wessman refered to someone visiting Riga and being "rolled by the locals". I took that as a direct attack on me - since I AM the one who visited Riga and was rolled (mugged).
Perhaps wessman is losing his memory and confused me with someone else.
Or more likely, perhaps.... he was refering to QuietCharm - who also visted Riga and was rolled (robbed by a hooker). Only trouble is that I do not recall a coflict between QuietCharm and wessman. (I do recall a conflict between QuietCharm and myself.)
Wessman - if it was QuietCharm you were refering to - sorry for the misunderstanding.
This is all getting ridiculous.
And worse - since everyone is now taking ptshots at everyone. I have no desire to express anything personal about myself or my experiences (Annika77 recently asked me) lest someone use it as fuel for the latest round of carping.
The personal attacks we've had recently make this forum useless. Why would anyone share a real experience in this hostile environment?
ID,
The agenda was a deliberate intent to whine, point fingers and get everyone else to do as QC and Jmoluv see fit.....how does that help the main reason for you or I to be here?
I makes no sense.
Olga
If you're going to keep this thread open, at the least do it so we can all post our opinions.
And that means that when I copy post my response to your direct e-mails to me for all to see what my position is, you will not delete it.
You did the same thing to ID a few weeks back.
Stop catering to the whiners, moochers, primadonnas and capricious little girl attitudes that do nothing to improve the already beat up image of the typical westerm man in the eyes of the FSU woman.
This thread was started by someone from the Quality Control department complaining about some individuals putting people down here.
I have.
Also, a bit later, this Quality Control officer refers to the ‘vitriolic’ nature of thread #35173.
Mine most certainly were.
In a reaction to Jet he indicates that there are more but confirms Jet is part of the handful accused by him, by declaring Jet’s post “predictable”.
Thus far I was not.
However, he admits to have queried the Moderators however says he does not seek expulsions or wants to make a public appeal to eject someone.
I most certainly have.
QC, I’m sure you must be amazed by the outcome of your post. Aside from you accusing ‘some’ here being keyboard-knights only you lack the guts to put names to your accusation, throwing an anonymous bone into the kennel. A bit further on you declare yourself finished, but cannot resist your own keyboard by poking Toad.
Yeah, I have accused, and addressed the moderators regarding, the person who’s name is until now not present at all in this thread – it seems. However, I have most certainly ramped-up to this phase, from stinging to rude, because if anything I detest anonymity, and hiding behind a multitude of names is despicable - especially so when it is not needed because this forum is, and will always be, anonymous.
That is also why I’m not too fond of your post – for it lacks character.
I also addressed Australian Man, aggressively I’d say, and I did this just before you did post. May I remind you that this was a rather open attack? And guess what, he reacted himself, in doing so showing character. You see, that is more what I like.
But you don’t like the acidity of some of the posters here, notably Toad’s it seems, and depending on your reaction on mine (if any) we’ll get a better idea of who you’re addressing here. Oh yes, I’ve accused Wess of being a gay wanting an eastern male friend, Toad of being something else ludicrous, and I might have accused ID of wanting a wooly girlfriend – it’s only funny that they themselves never thought this was strange, but maybe they DO have a sense of humour.
You’re British you say, living the good life in sunny Portugal? Then smile more and loose the stiff upper lip – NOT typical British here, but ask Trad & Glad.
This forum is supposed to be fun for all first, and this thread should be no exception. Lighten up Quiet Charm, don’t be an introvert and adjust to your ‘buddies’ here – all males, all different, spread across the world, and addressable for whatever you throw at them. But keep it nice, take something for granted, and recognize a joke when you see one. If you don’t like anything you say just that but do it in the open – like just about anyone else here.
TOAD,
you know absolutely nothing about the eyes of a FSU women. you described yourself very well talking about the others in the above paragraph. your western image might be beat up, but mine isnt. toad , quit grandstanding so much.do you feel your place in life is to strongarm every one who does not dance to your tune? and now your making childish demands on olga? i want my way, boo hoo hoo. dont you ever get sick of it? or yourself?

Some of you guys have referred to me as an electrician, Am I an electrician, well not exactly. I threw the VCR away and got a DVD player with out a clock... Some have said I was a professor, well I am not. Recently someone said I was a professional and then condemned my actions. I am hardly a professional, I might have some writing skills from time to time when I go slow, I am a very good communicator, I have been told this from time to time. Reality is I come from the streets of New York. My parents sold me and my brother in a bar one night for a couple of hundred dollars after they got tired of abusing us. I know what a hard life is, living one foster home to another, growing up on the street most of the time and trying to stay alive. I have been in the car business most of my life, I had two car lots in Gainesville Fl., that I built up with $923.00 to where I was selling 4-500 cars a month, while raising 5 teenage children by myself as a single divorced and pissed off dad. (Guess why or her name)
At fifty my kids are grown and gone, since they are finished with school I decided to go back to college. I have been working with adolescent drug addicts and alcoholics with mental health problems for the past few years, being a teenager once, and raising five teenagers I have some empathy for adolescents especially the ones in crisis because there parents are drunk and lousy role models. I have had great and various experiences in life that I use as points of references, as a man abused as a child I have developed into a helper role, which by the way does not mean I know more than anyone else or that I think better of myself. I do live by principals and values, one of those is self respect and respects for others, hardly does that make me a professional anything, or a perfect human being either. I get angry and will vent on occasion especially when provoked, however I do not believe I have any magic formula or all the answers. I am just one guy trying to meet and find love at fiancé dot com, I have opinions on things too and just like most other healthy males I think mine is important and I want to exercise my right to share that when I want to, and I do not like to be told I am stupid and should shut my mouth. Partly I am to blame for trying to rescue others here that I feel are being stifled here as well, when I see others being treated disrespectfully I can not help but intervene, it is my nature. So what is the solution, change and hide behind another name? Well not exactly, I might not be much to you but I am all I got!
welcome to the school of hard knocks wess . if your statement is accurate it would be a good character builder. and as usual you turned a bad situation into a good one for yourself i hope. if we think we have it so bad, we all should look around and we might be more thankful for what we have. i cant imagine you being pissed off at her? just joking.
LOL. my apologies to you, jmoluv
Toad, you missed y point. All I am saying is that this thing is better left playing itself out. Even if Olga wanted to shut it down, you request to do so would have been bad timing and therefore olga would have had to change that decission as not to be seen taking sides. You are not the only one here. If you were, it would get pretty lonely but if thats what you want, keep heeding the same way and I am sure it will come to no good
