Slightly Annoying

[snoopy1239]

My view after knowing, and spending time, with MrsLime over the past several months:

MrsLime is a nice guy.

He has an uncontrollably obsessive character in which he views the world in a logical way. If something goes against the logic of that world (eg. using colour text when black text is easier to read) then he feels a compulsion to say so. He doesn't mean it in a nasty way and may sound abrupt at times, but that's the way he is. He is direct and to the point and clearly not a fan of decorating his posts with smilies in order to express himself. I don't think we should hold this against him, but rather be more udnerstanding of why he says what he does. As RED-DOG said himself, in person, John is a perfectly harmless human being who wouldnt say boo to a goose, he's a top chap. Unfortunately, when it comes to writing in text, not everyone has the ability to convey themselves in a manner that is deemed acceptable by everyone else.

Of course, there's no reason why people can't object to his posts and the manner in which he makes his comments, but what I don't like is this pack of wolves mentality in which people feel the need to group together to either mock or ambush with underhand insults and, quite frankly, flames, to insult the person they disagree with. In that sense, if you believe MrsLime has been derrogatory to anyone, then anyone who has responded in a similar manner is just as bad.

Bottom line. Don't judge someone until you've met them. However he comes across online, he's a decent human being.

Like RED-DOG, this thread has has also saddened me.

As it happens snop you have a priveledged (sp? lime?) position on blonde and as such should be lambasting this sort of thing and not defending it.
He has on numerous occasions chosen (yes chosen) to be deliberatley (sp? lime?) abusive and condascending (sp? lime?) to all who populate this forum, this is wrong and away from the protection of the keyboard his personality/attitude is irrelevant.
If you wanna throw stones you should expect to wake up to a broken window or 2.

As I said, I am just giving my view and explaining why he might be posting in such a manner. I am not defending the posts, I don't like them any more than you do and I sincerely hope he stops. I too find them condescending.

However, I will apologise publically to Red-Dog. I didn't mean to anger or upset you. I'd rather remove my posts than argue with such a good friend.

Snoop, while I disagree with you on this issue, I have the up-most respect for you as a person and hold you in the highest regard as a friend.

I know your motives were honourable.

Let's move on.

Carful when you link pictures from outside URLS.

Well, that thread certainly went from 'Slightly Annoying' to 'Completely Pissed Off'.
