i clicked in to this site where a decade or so....everyday's posts would stretch fer miles...on the old board...DJ totally fucked it up by not being able to see the post and replies...without being able to skip the small talk.

butt...now the posts are dwindling....i count that a wonderful marvelous thing...like unto myself...this site led me to shrooms...CH free...i lost interest...stopped rowing...as the mule would say.

i only hope ...that folks are finding painfree lives...not givin up...

it would give me great pleasure ...if DJ logged in to nuthin butt "THAT WORKED...thank you" posts
CH is a killer bitch.

Yep - I was there and also had to get used to the new format. It was indeed fast and easy to scroll down through the indented, vertical posts - but things change. Kind of like the rest of the world.

You won't find a forum using that old BBS type line format nowadays. In fact, I doubt that you could make that old software work on today's servers........unless you write the code yourself.

There's still lots of people out there that need help and still a few OLD timers here that check in daily -- maybe we don't post daily, but we DO check in.

And yeah, I miss the old days and the feuds and the BS - kept us all on our toes and it was FUN. We could all insult each other without getting OFFENDED.. now if anyone says "good morning" someone is going to take it wrong. But this is the new world order I guess.. And THAT offends ME.. Roll Eyes

Right now I can't even think of an insult for Dennis, but I'm sure after I sign off I'll think of something... Kiss

Hi Racer,
I went to school at the Oxford College of hard knocks, where it didn't take long to become thick skinned, Smiley

but all jokes aside! I was thinking more along the lines of the nursery rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep now banned in Kindergarten/Primary School, and the gollywog sticker no longer allowed in a jar of marmalade, etc, etc. Sad

Posts: 4573 Clio,California Gender:	Re: gosh Reply #9 - Mar 7^th, 2016 at 7:38am Thing is, there's nothing wrong with getting offended nor offending someone. If someone is offended by something I say or do, that's their problem. I'm not responsible for other people's feelings, or so my shrink tells me.

You know Bob - you're right once again. You've been "offending" me for about 17 years now and I've been offending you back and we're still talking.. Guess neither of us have taken total offense..

did I say that right (Bob will probably correct me - he usually does). What I'm trying to say - taking offense is just a waste of time. If the other person gets mad because you have an opinion or say something they don't like then THEY have a problem..

to be honest - sometimes when I've been in a BAD state (getting hit 10-12 times a day) just arguing with Bob has kept me from going into a bad depression... and lordy I think I just said something "nice" about him.. Gotta watch that.. Kiss

Hola....I've been tumbling this around in the vast emptiness that is my mind...and I am torn.

What PC has become is a blanket stifling of ANY opinion/statement/view that is not in line with the "norm". Problem is ....YOUR norm may not be MY norm. Society goes on these big pendulum swings on a regular basis...for some reason we can't settle in the middle. What was once common and inoffensive (intentionally that is) becomes a slur and a provocation...there is no gradation!

I have a distinct memory of an assembly...at Lincoln grade school....in 1965 when I was a 5th grader.
The Principal...Mr. Bremmer...was quite a serious guy...not a cuddly bone in his body...when he spoke you listened. Perhaps that is why the memory is so distinct. ...

Anyway ...his topic was a nursery rhyme...which went like this:

eeny-meeny miney mo...catch a n****r by the toe....if he hollers make him pay.....you know the rest......

From now on it was to be "catch a TIGER" by the toe. We didn't quite understand...but we were fine with it. Anyone disagree that this was PC? Anyone think it was "wrong"? Shoot...I never met a black person until I was 17...and I had no idea what I had been saying...but it was the start of my realization that "common accepted" can be vastly inappropriate....

My own Mother lived to be 89...I could never get her to stop calling Brazil nuts "n****r toes" or black infants "pickaninnies" (tho eventually not outside family). That lady had not a bigoted or prejudicial bone in her 1st grade schoolteacher body. I never met anyone who didn't like her...anyone of any color. But... she was born in 1915...in Connecticut...on a farm... and that was just "common accepted"....

There IS a place for PC...although I dislike the term....everything does NOT have to be political. it's just gone WAY too far.......

Best

Jon

Be very careful...... you might hurt someone's feelings.

We get posters that are convinced that they have found their cure for Cluster Headaches, so let us respect that and rejoice in their pain free lives. Then let us help to spread the word, so others can suffer needlessly.

Sure, people have left here because they didn't feel warm and fuzzy. But, how many other sufferers have endured horrid countless hours of sheer agony while they held out hope for Boji Stones - or some other equally valuable remedies?

There are reasons that some folks react strongly to some posts. I can assure you that it is not rooted in cruelty or some perverted badge of honor as some folks have intimated.

Brian, I've lost count on how many one post newbies I've replied to over the years "With a warm welcome and a positive reply" only, never to be seen or heard of again, and in the same period of time, I could count on one hand, the newbies that have been offended by a comment from one member or another.

Cheers and Smiley
