Suspicions confirmed! Your solution to everything is "vote GOP". I always suspected that. Everything you post is anti-Dem, pro-GOP. Go ahead and accuse me of being a liberal again.
actually I think you just don't have a sense of humor
Yeah...tell me about 'meds' Ever since I have been on blood pressure meds,(about 5 years) I have had terrible mood swings...and can do nothing about it but try . You have my sympathy...it seems to go with the territory

Mine are caused mostly by the constant pain i live with. ( migraines for one, but those effect the way your brain works too )

You are absolutely right. I don't understand why a person would be so distressed by the opinions of strangers on the internet.
And I do "wanna help"..which is why I changed his rating to negative. It will "help" him fulfill his desire to be banned.

My pain (or the process I developed for controlling it) makes me introspective.

Hugh has had several threads whereby he was 'whining' (sorry Hugh, I understood ) about a certain member here...not a peep out of you then? Or how about your Father's distress caused by your sister? Whining? Don't think so, personally...but maybe you thought it so, but didn't post your thoughts there either? And then, the sweetest irony of all
The family issue concerning my sister is a real issue. It's not the same as you getting your feelings hurt on a car forum. It's also very crass of you to bring it up here.
And I speak to my Dad regularly, so you have no idea about the ways and extent of my support.

Probably as crass as your comment here...and you still didn't get the irony, obviously. The issue I had is REAL too..just because YOU don't think it is, is irrelevant to me. It is far greater than a PERSONAL issue: it is what is wrong with the World. Where did I say ANYTHING about 'my feelings'? My feelings about WHAT is wrong with the World, are not 'personal'. They are far-reaching and affect EVERYBODY. And if you speak to your Father, you will probably know that I speak to him too, and convey MY regrets to him and support him as best I can. I was just pointing out how selective you are in your 'opinion', and decided to post it after 3 pages, and in a rather sarcastic and deprecating fashion, and making it personal. Classy. Oh, and as an afterthought..you obviously don't understand the difference between a polite request to the Moderator to BLOCK my access, and a request to be banned. The two are far apart, and obviously beyond your ability to understand the difference. The issue I had was not with somebody saying anything against ME...it was copying and pasting an 'email' which I found totally repugnant in its intent. Next time you want to come into somebody else's thread and start being so arrogant, think first. You obviously didn't THIS time.

At the start of this thread, I said I wouldn't post the thing that got me so angry, because the the usual culprits would come riding in and mock and deride. Well, as some people are taking for granted that I was upset about something somebody might have said to me, I will post the 'thing' that made me see red, and also the replky which again, I chose not to post for the same reason. So, for all you out there who think it was a personal insult or whatever, here it is:
quote
Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem any more. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire.
So ,well done Mr Boss. You have fulfilled your dream in 12 years, partly on the back of your workers. You can afford to retire from the business, and live a life of luxury in a foreign country, as you say. Well, Mr. Bigshot...I have a suggestion for you . You have said you have enough, after 12 years of hard work, to live the rest of your life in luxury. Great. Then consider this, Mr Selfish....you could go on keeping the company running, and not need to make any more of the vast 'profits' you have taken from your business. So long as it doesn't COST you any of your fortune to keep the company running...why won't you? For the sake of the workers who have been dilligent in building your business as WELL as yourself, their families and dependents...for the neighbourhood which depends on the money those people spend there..and to HELP YOUR COUNTRY GET BETTER? You see...you are an arrogant, selfish prick. Or rather, you probably have a very SMALL one, which you try to outwardly compensate for by being a 'high-flyer' bigshot. YOU'VE made your comfy life,and good for you, and you don't need the Company any more to swell YOUR coffers...you said that yourself . But why would you contemplate destroying hundreds of others' lives because of your selfishness? BECAUSE YOU DEMEND RECOGNITION, AND THE ONLY WAY YOU UNDERSTAND RECOGNITION IS BY YOUR ADDICTION TO MONEY, AND FLAUNTING IT. You stupid, greedy, selfish prick. SO LONG as your Company can stay afloat, and pay salaries and wages and taxes...what the effing hell difference does it make to YOU, if you don't go on filling your brimming coffers with millions MORE that you will never need? IF YOU CAN ALREADY AFFORD A LIFE OF LUXURY AFTER 12 YEARS, WHY THE **** DO YOU NEED ANY MORE??Here ya go...DELEGATE...MAYBE ON THE MONEY YOU HAVE TAKEN IN 12 YEARS IS ENOUGH TO PAY FOUR GOOD, HONEST PEOPLE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE. BUT YOU CAN'T ACCEPT, OR RISK THAT, CAN YOU? YOU HAVE TO BE THE BEST..AND TOO SCARED TO EVEN CONTEMPLATE SOMEBODY ELSE COULD BE JUST AS SUCCESSFUL AS YOU IN RUNNING THE COMPANY. Because you have a tiny dick, a dreadful inferiority complex, and crave RECOGNITION FOR YOUR BRILLIANCE.AND...WAIT FOR IT......BECAUSE PRIDE IN YOUR SUCCESS IS NOT ON YOUR RADAR. BECAUSE NOBODY TAUGHT YOU WHAT PRIDE IS.MONEY IS YOUR TOKEN, YOUR SUBSTITUE FOR PRIDE. This is what is wrong with the West. ME ME ME ME ME...and vast personal wealth isn't enough. You HAVE to have more...and more and more and more...and SCREW THE LITTLE MAN WHO BUILDS YOUR COMPANY WITH, AND FOR YOU, if you can't have it.PRIDE: Look it up..and understand which has the most value I KNOW the typical rhetorical question is going to be tossed back at me here...'when is enough, enough?'. Well just for once...why don't YOU tell US???? I know I will wait in vain...as usual. 'LOVE YOU FELLOW MAN, AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF'.
And finally...you hate the 'wealth distribution' aspect of taxes etc...but you have no qualms about taking YOUR money to another Country, making your OWN country poorer, and another richer. Another country that has done NOTHING to enable YOU to build YOUR wealth.YOU are a bigger distributor of wealth than ANYBODY.YOU are as bad as the people too lazy to earn a living or to build a business, in fact WORSE.
Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem any more. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire. .
I somehow missed that thread? I would like to see what context that was written in. Maybe it's just a bad joke!
Probably as crass as your comment here...and you still didn't get the irony, obviously.
To the extent there is any..

Wrong. It is perfectly relevant to you. Your angry, ranting reply verifies that.

Now you are just being silly.
They don't affect me, other than the provision of entertainment value I glean from these exchanges.
quote
And if you speak to your Father, you will probably know that I speak to him too, and convey MY regrets to him and support him as best I can.
Oh..you are an insider now? Congratulations. I wonder how he will feel about your exploitation of him and his personal life in this thread?

Yes, my opinions are "selective". So?

There is no difference. If you don't want to be here, don't be. It is not the responsibility of a moderator to protect you from your own verbal form of narcissism.

Next time you want to come into somebody else's thread and start being so arrogant, think first.
What is more arrogant? Some pathetic wretch starting a thread entitled "I have had enough of this" but still showing up four pages later? Or someone like me calling him on it?
[This message has been edited by fogglethorpe (edited 08-07-2012).]
fierofetish..this is a message board. Text on a screen. Is your psyche really that fragile?
I have no beef with you, and never have. I have no stake in either your decision to stay or to leave. But I do think it's kind of pathetic that you have spent three pages whining about what a victim you are.

Gawd, what a ray of sunshine!
Sometimes I think Nick goes overboard in O/T with the issues in his life (only because I'm not as open about my own life here), but I don't see that as a reason to crucify him in this thread.
We read time and time again by various people here that if you're not happy with the subject matter, just hit the "back" button or ignore the thread or whatever.
I guess that advice only applies to political threads, eh?
If a guy is feeling down and posts about it, stick it to him. Make him feel worse. Yeah, that's the spirit!

OK, so I did a search on this and found these words on MANY forums. Apparently this is a letter written by some guy to his employees. I'm pretty sure this person who wrote this originally isn't a member here, so why are you addressing them here in your post. If it showed up here, it was a repost as on the other forums. Now, if you reposted this and you got upset by something that someone replied to it, the solution is simple, ignore them or refrain from participating in these areas. I get carried away in my arguing too, but I know when to step back and walk away. Good luck man, remember you have other things in life that are way more important than this.
Origins: In the ramp-up towards the 2008 Presidential election and in its wake, a number of anonymous "Here's how you, the ones who voted for him, will directly suffer from a Barack Obama presidency" missives landed in inboxes everywhere. One such was putatively from a hard-working and generous grandfather telling his beloved liberal granddaughter that her support for Obama meant Grandpa was no longer going to be in a position to help her financially. Another was supposedly penned by CEO to his 140 employees informing them that thanks to the new taxes now surely headed his way, he'd have to lay off a few of them, so he was starting with those whose cars sported Obama bumper stickers."
The "To All My Valued Employees" letter quoted above is another of such ilk. In it, a boss threatens to shut down his company (thus wiping out the livelihoods of the 14 people who work there) if any more taxes are levied upon him, an outcome he views a virtual certainty under an Obama presidency. The piece is perhaps best viewed as an attempt to put into real-world terms the possible consequences to average folks if business is interfered with to the point of no longer being able to operate rather than as an actual letter sent by a real boss to his employees.
Nick, did you get sucked in by a fictional letter which was political (what else is new) in nature?
As Boonie said earlier, we need some context.
[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 08-07-2012).]
Fictional it might well be...but it also reflects the truth, IMHO, in so many 'Bosses' nowadays. And as I said at the beginning, this is exactly what ELLIE'S Boss is threatening HIS staff with. Bad timing to have read it I guess....and easy to make the connection too. But the fact that somebody would post it here, and apparently think this attitude is RIGHT, made me very angry, and I was angry enough to type my original and contemporary 'reply' which I since posted above. No, I cannot stand selfishness. Or greed. Or somebody wielding such a 'power' to threaten ordinary Folk into subservience and as near to slavery as could be concieved in 'modern' terms. Others say I am unduly influenced by the events in MY life with my family. But hey, you know, to use car terms ...You see a car that you like, and it seems to be pretty rare. So you buy it...andthen you see several every day thereafter . I see the greed in my Brothers. They inherited it from my Father. I was fortunate, in MY opinion, to have inherited my Mother's heart and compassion ....and now I see that horrible greed every day in the World. We often DON'T notice patterns and things in our lives, if WE haven't actually experienced them. BUT they ARE there...
Oh FOGGIEAt YOUR behest? Bwahahaha!! I don't THINK so I am now more determined to stay around and continue to stand up against the Trolls Trolls...if this upsets you, you can blame foggie!! Patrick, as I tried to explain...although it is 'fabricated' and then posted as true(), you can be SURE the OP, and others who think like him, BELIEVE it is right

Crap like that gets posted just to get a rise out of people. I guarantee that Avengador got a full woody from your over-the-top reaction.
If I see a thread started by him, I just ignore it. Makes my forum experience that much more pleasant.
I'm glad I could provide you with more fodder for whiny threads like this.
Yet another Jeff-ism? Poor one at that You MUST try harder, old Chap You ARE aware that to the poor people wading through your vitriol think YOU are the whiney one? I'll have a whip-round, and get you some cheese to go with it Thanks Williegoat
By the way...according to John AV1...he is living off the sale of his family business...and then sits all day trolling through umpteen different 'News' sources, to regurgitate them here Talk about having too much money and free time provides the Devil's work for idle hands John, I like you...but think you are wasting your time , and doing the reverse of what you set out to do. Alienating, instead of gathering support .
hello fetish i wondered why i haven't seen any new posts by you in awhile on the tech side looks like somebody has been busy lol i rather like your posts they make me laugh

Can't you just picture Avengador doing a little "dance" each time he gets a rise out of someone...

So does this mean you will be trolling for trolls? I am already confused exactly what a troll is.
Ever since I have been on blood pressure meds,(about 5 years) I have had terrible mood swings...and can do nothing about it but try 
. You have my sympathy
