I Never Thought it Would Come to This

[so-tex]

The O/V 35 misc. Was a great idea, and has provided a great avenue for us to post about a variety of different topics. For the most part, the mods have left us alone, and that's a good thing.
There is one major problem I and others have: personal attacks on family members. To me, that is chickensh!t and you know who you are.
Personal attacks on me do not bother me in the least.
Trolls don't bother me.
I love to cut up and have fun as much, probably more than most.
I think it would be a good idea for all of the O/V 35 to voice their opinions here on what you do or don't think is acceptable.

In before the regular O/V 35r's who rarely post here give their opinions.

Agree with so-tex. Ragging one-on-one is okay (no, not really, but it's accepted up to a point) but if you bring husbands/wives/kids into the equation, that crosses the line.

Exactly.
I let Oceanside have butt sex with some of my goats. I didn't take pics or gloat about it.

Them goats iz kin. (Said in my best John Turturro voice from O brother, where art thou?). The day a man lets another man have sex with his goats and don't even get a thank yuh...that burns, that really burns.

If 10 people in this thread tell me they want me to leave, then I ............................... Times up. Looks like Im staying.

Never said anything about someone's husband / wife / kids and never will. Unless it a nice comment.



And just for the record, Goats need loving to you know.

Trolls don't bother me either - think they can actually be a lot of fun, and the threads open up for lulzy postings.

Personally, I strongly dislike personal attacks or insults, and still find it hard to believe why so many choose to engage in
that behavior. I haven't seen adults act like this anywhere else in my whole life. One can disagree, dislike each other, or argue
without resorting to that and it is the main thing on this forum that I have a problem with.

Making friendly fun of each other is one thing , but taking cheap shots and bullying is another. This, to me, seem to be
more common towards low reppers and first time posters. I do believe more lurkers would participate if this stuff went away.

Maybe I have thin skin or whatever, but I believe that if you wouldn't say something to my face, then don't write it in here.
But I don't believe anyone here really acts like that in real life, so there might be hope yet.

You're a good man Steffo and have been a good poster here from the moment you joined. SRS. Damn it, is there anybody Im not on spread with.

Appreciate it. Same here, wish I could rep more - maybe if I buy that platinum account?

Exactly. I'm on my phone, so I can't muti-quote, but I echo steffo's and your opinion's.

Wish I could rep as well, but my user cp said you must spread
before you can rep mutts like Jeffaus and steffo again.

[CaptChip40]

Unless someone actually knows one's wife or child it's really not offensive. It the case where a rude or insulting comment is made about a know relative or a picture about appearance then that crosses the line.
Recently it looks like some are really out to attack others and using this tactic to get under someones skin.
As an observer it's kind of interesting in a train wreck sort of way.

My bad , thought thread was I never thought it would come to tits...

Carry on

[bodyhard]

I am guilty of doing that, I did it to DBX and I actually felt bad because I know the guy personally. So I apologized to him, if I did not know him on a personal level than I would not have given a sh!t, but I do and I did, so that was f'cked up of me.

I am a lot of things, but one thing I do not do is talk about peoples (who I know) family that sh!t is just wrong.

[doughnutgut]

I rarely post much around the o35 or o35 misc areas. Now and again I will.

But I got some 0.02c to drop in here.


My beef.

Considering this is a BB site. People from certain areas give it full on balls to wall to progress.
They try as hard as possible to get stronger, bigger, improve in some way or another.

Sometimes for what?


Well most of you guys have the time and thoughts to come in here and post lols and rip each other up. Take selfies, post gifs. Chat amongst each other regarding the type of day you had.


But most of you simply don't even bother to pat on the back the ACHIEVERS who are proud of what they accomplish. Proud to have given full focus on squeezing every last drop of effort into getting bigger, stronger, faster.



Other than that. I got nothing.

An example though.

Do I take this chit too seriously. Maybe. But I also see credit where credit SHOULD be due.

A lot of you guys need to put in a bit more effort for the ones who are putting in the blood, sweat, sacrifices and tears and are willing to post about it around here. Misc or not.







Now I care not for green or red squares. So do what you want. I think I am done.

Hi

Bashing on people's SO or kids is not cool. However there is a gray area on bashing people with handicaps, intellectual disabilities(PC for mental retardation), or manlets.

Agreed, I can play in the misc mud right along with everyone else, but it isn't to take the place of WHY I am here.

I take the reg 035 far more seriously than anything I do in the misc.


F*ck you if you don't like my family.... :shrugs:

did OS give the goats the courtesy of a simple reach around?

[latebloomingmom]

the over 35 misc is like a family reunion sometimes
we all gather together to catch up and joke around and ask
"How's the wife and kids?"
" Did ya go fishing last weekend?"
"How's that new job working out?"
"Man I did something to my shoulder last week in the gym"

for the most part we are a family but like any family reunion..
there will be times when drama breaks out
harsh words are spoken
and people go off in a huff
and there will be times when certain family members
start out having a good time and bullsh*tting while having a beer or two
but after a few too many just turn into an a**hole by end of night

when I see that coming...I just walk away

You just described every single thread on the internet. Well, except for the Caturday thread.

You know OS, Adam. Not a hope in hell he would give the goat any warning of the horrors to come.

Who reported me for banging their mom?

Agreed, so-tex.

[ISAID69]

Anybody that attacks anyone else on a personal level would never do it in the real world without provocation. They might be built like a brick outhouse but they're not bullet proof. Yea sure it's so easy to pick on someone starting out or starting again (like me) and yes I've been on the end of one or two scathing remarks but hey we're all big kids now and can take the bs* - Because that's all it is really. Personal attacks on a family member is just showing what a scum bag they are. There's enough other crap in the world to worry about apart from picking on a community member that puts in the same hours at the gym. Peace man!

Why do you always stay gone so long? Don't you know you have to post here every day?

I saw the sign in front of her house.

It said "Lays. 50 cents."


I thought she was selling potato chips.
