Chula Vista

It was just suggested to me that I should keep personal stuff personal. Let's try and define what's personal. In the 4-5 years I've been hanging out here most of you folks, at one time or another, have posted stuff like:

- your drug use
- the amount you drink
- where you're going on vacation
- who's coming to visit you
- your mental defects
- the medications you take
- places you hang out
- places you eat
- your sexual appetites
- who you'd like to ****
- personal pictures
- how ****ty your parent(s) were/was
- how ****ty your sibling(s) were/was
- how ****ty your spouse was/is
- intimate details about family
- your sexual orientation
- the ups and downs of your career
- your financial problems
- your financial gains
- your personal opinions on religion
- your personal opinions on politics
- your personal opinions on world events
- crimes you've committed
- requesting legal advice
- your relationships
- your kids

etc.

Draw me a line please. I posted about becoming a grandfather for the first time. That didn't work out. Then we got the green light again and I posted an ultrasound picture - the technology today is AMAZING - and now it's suggested I went too personal.

Draw me a line please.

Personal stuff is anything about you, silly!

Maybe this is a better definition for you mate: Anything that can be used against you or joked about in a way that would piss you off.

Yep, it's ambiguous. Easy answers don't exist, Chula, so try to do what works best for you.

Oh for the love of crap.

And that technology is nightmare fuel. Go back to the old blurry ****, please.

I'll try to answer the question.

This isn't about the line for everybody. This is about your line.

This message board, including myself in some regards, is full of immature people, most of which are half your age or younger. The internet is full of sharks. Sharks prey on blood. Internet sharks prey on weaknesses.

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.
