Why is it up to the rest of us to define where the line is for you?This just reads as deliberately obtuse, good luck with figuring out a problem that is unique to you.

Well Chula takes it to the umpteenth degree. I'll agree to that. It was kind of my point.

I'm just saying that I've told the story of my brothers battle with heroin addiction and whatnot and it doesn't receive the response Chula's posts get. I think in all fairness he should be allowed to share too but the response he gets is different. He should know better by now. Fair? No. Life's not fair though and since we layed down the personal conduct hammer, people being huge twats to Chula will be dealt with.

Well, we do know yours, but that isn't of much help.
Obviously insults about Don's family will lead to disciplinary measures but I'm just tired of him acting, to quote himself, all high and mighty all the time.
And this thread pisses me a bit off to be honest.
Again with that whiny, histrionic ****.

I'm not sure why this thread exists either.

you're all just mad cuz my dick is microscopic

To be the center of attention.

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.

It's ****ing amoral and disrespectful to one's friends and family.
Other people and their lives aren't one's trophies to parade around.

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.

Way to ignore everything I posted that doesn't fit into your wholesome granddad narrative, Chula.
I can't wait for the thread you'll make encouraging people to make sexual comments about your granddaughter.
Hope you'll wait until she's eighteen.

Join the club.

I also think most of the issues that arise with you can be attributed to "I'm a sort of old man who does't understand how the internet works". It's still the wild west in most regards. Fill us in but the pictures man, the pictures is just asking for it time and time again. The pictures don't need to exist. You can just fill us in. Pictures just seam like an attention grab which is why a lot of people go after you for it. This isn't facebook.

That's mostly in regards t your family. You can posts pictures of yourself so we can make fun of your shoes and move on. The sharks will go after your family though. It will never end.

I get ya, buddy. I'm really happy for you and all involved, and I'd be shouting it from the roof tops too, but you also have to know when to reel that pride back in a bit and just let it be. Share the things you love with the ones you love.
