Crispin Glover, I have always tried to shy away from violence. I am normally capable of resolving differences with words. I am good with words. Violence is always extreme, and in my view a last resort that is used far too often for my liking by others. It would take alot for me to become violent, and I really don't think you would be able to push me that far. So, no.
I don't know about double standards BMMF, and I don't know how many people you know.....but of nearly all the people I know, everyone has 2 sides to their character and their behaviour. It may be true that Wayne's GA2G the Oscillator tag, may have more than a modicum of truth to it. Maybe I'm schizoid (awful American term we used to use at school in Florida, but the one appropriate to my dimmed mood), and am not aware of it. Though I would not accept couch time from the Freuds of this forum. As for threats - I had had enough of being jumped on in the past day, and repeatedly by a couple, of whom I could not fathom their great display of ire in my direction. As has been witnessed, I have apologised, and been as polite, and tried to be as understanding as I possibly can. Eventually, I felt that enough of the ganging-up-on had taken place, and I showed my dispeasure. I'm pretty sure that I have behaved quite well considering the kicking I was getting. I just felt that Tiswas didn't need to jump on me as well. I think it would have been better for him to have pulled up a ringside seat, and enjoy Scott and Bendix laying into me. As for me saying to Bendix that I would now treat as a man (in any furtherment of the attacks on me); does anyone know what that meant? I said that I would never treat VeeVee or Bella (or Clefty for that matter) as anything other than a lady, and a friend. However, my politeness on this forum was being tested, and if anyone has seen me being almost sideswiped by a car-driver in New Cross, then they will know how I would address a man when I am very angry. Its with words, and those are then without restraint. I am polite normally, but when attacked, I may lose my composure eventually.
I consider myself quite human in this respect.
If thats how you see me, fine. If thats how others see me also, fine. I don't have a problem with not being what others want me to be. I am really happy and comfortable as I am. It may annoy others, but I wasn't born for the amusement of others. I was born to fulfill my own life's path.
Why again so personal? My job is not a job, its a chosen career. At times it has been brilliant, and at times it has been really bad, or disappointing. I don't think its necessary to tell me that you suggest a new job for me, and better yet, that a gravedigger would suit me. I do understand the reference, insofar that a gravedigger's jobs is a rather anti-social one, without much public regard...and suited to those that lack social benefits that others enjoy. I do get it. But again, its a personal attack, that I suppose I will just have to take with grace.
If anyone took the time to read all that you have written regarding me, since I've joined this forum, they will wonder how I have remained as unmoved as I am displaying now. There's alot of unfairness here, but I am easily tough enough to cope with nearly all of it.
Please, whenever it next best suits you, do not hesitate to try to insult my life. I won't mind. If there is anyone else that feels the need to do so (come on Winston, get it off your chest, you will feel better for it), please also pile in. Its a new sport don't you know?
But trust me on this, I am totally unaffected by it. So, lash away.
