Your internet weakness is your undying pride and love for your family. The sharks know this and they'll go after it like bait fish whenever you give them a chance.

If I had a kid and I posted a picture of her/him, the response would be different. My response to that would be different.

There are very few of us who see a picture of your kids and generally feel warmth or nice feelings. The rest of the board sees it as an opportunity to make fun of you.

I'm not telling you to stop doing it because you're allowed to in most fashions but for f*cks sake man, realize this isn't facebook full of your old band buddies and realize that the majority of the board doesn't want to see your family photos. I wish it wasn't like that. I'm indifferent to it. It's nice to hear your family is doing well. The majority of the rest of this board are sharks though.

Stop swimming with the sharks.
This is a cold hard slap in the face that I enjoyed.

This is my bar. Can I not pull out my wallet and show pictures without considering them trophies? Your perspective is ****ed up.

It seems it's unique to you though. You're the one calling me out so I must have crossed YOUR line. Explain your line to me.

You pissed Grindy? Let's take it offline because I'm pissed too. This place often times resembles a kindergarten managed by 3rd graders.

And Plank: I'm gonna shout it out. I'M ABOUT TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER. IT'S AS MUCH ABOUT ME (IN THIS FORUM'S CONTEXT) AS IT IS ABOUT HER. We both happen to be really proud about it and are sharing it everywhere. Pretty sad that this place can't deal with mature life stuff.

I really like this forum most times. I really dislike this forum sometimes.

Exo nailed though.
