Individual Deletion of Post Count?

[Dragongirl]

Sorry.

If it is indeed that insulting, Dragongirl, I will go back and edit out references to people in my posts.

Just wanted to clarify what I was objecting to. No problems.

You are right, my post is much less personal and potentially irritating or inflamatory now that i have removed everyone's names from the list.

My appologies for being such a hypocrite and being mean, I will make sure not to single out anyone on the forums again for fear of a repeat occurence of tonight's problems.

how dare you remove my name!!! that's, that's...hypocritical!

i may sue!

not to get all lighthearted here, but "single out" and "hivemind" is enough to make an english teacher change careers

Que? Que dices?

Well, seems I stepped in this one, eh?

I am sorry that my post didn't seem coherent. I'll try better to post more succinctly and coherently in the future, and maybe not be so aggressive to you.

Well, maybe it was me who understood what you didn't say.

At least I understood it as a despise to "hivemind people", as if saying their (our, ok, our) names in a thread marked it as unworthy. And as you just seem to be posting in Hivemind threads lately, I got angered. So again, if as it seems I was wrong, I offer you my appologies. My more sincere appologies. No irony or sarcasm here, I'm sorry I misunderstood it.

But, to finish it, I hate generalisations. I really hate them (and, BTW, alsih2o is also a Hiveminder, one of that hivemind people ).

I know that (insert name here) is a member of (insert name here), and I read his threads because he's usually up to something funny and I happen to really like his style. But I also find some of his threads funny only in small doses (like his graphical threads).

The fact of the matter is that it isn't his membership in (insert name here) that gets my attention, it's his style.

It is the quality of his posts.

Unfortunately, I HAVEN'T found myself as enamoured with the posts of all members of the boards. I like reading these forums a lot (until tonight), and ALL of you make up what I like about them. ALL of you. Including (insert name here), (insert name here) and even (insert name here). It's just that NOT all of you make me jump up and go "wow, I have to read this thread NOW!"

I am sorry for generalizing, and I have made certain that none of my posts in this thread can be seen as damaging to anyone here, now that I have removed all personal references to them. In this way, all generalizations are now TOO generalized for anyone to understand what I'm rambling on about.

What i object to is singling out a certain group...
I don't think it is nice to single out anyone...
I post to state my opinion, not to get a following.

But an opinion that includes people by name or by group is problematic?

At least I understood it as a despise to "hivemind people", as if saying their (our, ok, our) names in a thread marked it as unworthy.

Since I DO post to the (insert name here) threads and talk to the (insert peoples name here), I would have thought it fairly obvious that I don't feel that these people are unworthy.

Although, I guess I could see how someone might construe it to mean I consider posting in said threads to be "slumming" or some such.

But honestly, I enjoy the company of (insert name here). All I was saying is that I don't go around e-stalking them like I do some other posters (who will remain nameless) on these boards.

OK, now (name deleted) is being a bit a smartass...

It's early for me, sun hasn't go out yet. I'm still half asleep, I read a thread and I misunderstand what it was being said there. Nor that the post was very clear, BTW, but anyways it's my fault.

I get angered, I post in anger. Then I see anothe rpost in Hivemind thread, that combined with the last one make me even angrier and I post again.

Then (name deleted) tells he wasn't saying what I though he was saying, I re-read it again and it could be that I had misunderstood. So, being sincerely sorry, I post public appologies.

And I say it again, one last time. If I was worng, I'm sicerely sorry.

Offering appologies show that I respect (name deleted), because I wouldn't apologise to somebody I don't.

And then, (name deleted) posts again in a tone that, maybe misunderstanding again, I find a bit too smartass.

Sometimes I think I'm too innocent.

I think y'all are taking all this message board stuff waay too seriously.

And I like HellHound.

I am not going to continue going on about it. I stated my opinion, I stand by it.
