RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

I really don't know how you can be so nice!! Yes I do, that is just you!! That PM that MLx3 sent you was one of the most hurt and evil posts I have ever read, and you still are so nice!! That is why you are loved so much!!


Rapids is only 1/2 hr from Point!

Nope, not boring. Decent and respectful.......not a thing wrong with that.

chill folks we have a long weekend

p.s.
If my real family took it to heart every bad thing we have said to each other over the years we wouldn't be talking until the next century.

We get over it in minutes and go on

thing said in the heat of a disagreement are not always our true feelings
we're just lashing out
sometimes our biggest enemies become our closest friends

I consider you all my cyber friends/family, we fight sometimes so what
I get over it
I hope everyone else can too.

CK, you raise a valid point. The biggest problem in all of this is that nobody really knows the truth of all this, yet so many people have an opinion. So much of the vitriol has been deleted, sanitized, or (thankfully) done in PMs.
I would beg to differ with you re: this being an open and welcoming forum. I cannot tell you how many times that I've dropped in to say hello and gotten the cold shoulder: I mean nothing. So I'd just leave. I know a lot of people who won't even try coming in here.

Please, tell me you're joking. Can you say, "Screen shot" or "Copy & Paste"? How many forums have you started only to be shut down because all it was about was slamming and hurting people? Point to the decent and respectful here:

MLX: secretbatline wasn't around during OWTW as far as I know. Don't know when she got on the FF, but she was very active in the Ford Focus Rally thread - which I didn't participate in. Her "wit" can kiss my butt! She is not in the least bit funny - and sounds like I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Challs: Yeah were in the heck did secret whatever come from? Never on the forum, then comes in about 14 days and 14 dollars short, with the you no what avatar, and proceeds to beat the dead horse repeatedly into the ground (and bless us with her witty jokes) My very first time I put someone on the ignore, just couldn't bear to see that image anymore .
MLX: Make sure Jules doesn't get the link, or Secretwhater they are. No way jules or secretbatline will ever get an invite from me!
treedown02 : m, I didn't see secret around then either, her and Jules can stick together. She's be a newbie or a stalker!

I can go on, but you get the point. You want me off this forum? I'll go but everyone will know what you're about before I do. How about we all drop the BS now? I come on here to have fun ad this ain't it.

Well said...Congrats on your recent win!
I can't enter on the refrigerator game, and can't even find a spot to enter without playing. Is anyone else having this problem, or is this game over?

Good Stuff!
I usually don't comment in these discussions, but I agree with what ckand33 said about the diversity of this group. The company where I work (over 1500 people) was orded by a state court to have civil rights training. It isn't always what you say, or how you said it, or even what you meant - it is how it is percieved by someone, even if that person wasn't who you were addressing!
The "golden rule" goes a long way. I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend. 'nuff said!

Its not the boring and irrelevant parts thats the problem. We have all been boring and irrelevant at some point. Its the other stuff going on, It was like space was being filled just to fill it and exclude conversations that were taking place. We ALL read the posts from MLx's invite only thread and we ALL got to see what was written and what some peoples true feelings are. But ever since that site was shut down its like there has been a conscious effort to make people here feel uncomfortable. Things that should be said by pm are being said not to show support but to hurt others and its really sad

Well, we didn't ALL read either of those things because I don't know what you are talking about and I will bet I am not alone. Ok, yes, I know the base story of the purse thing and what lead to it for whatever reason and I am sure some feelings were hurt on both sides, hands down. BUT, there are tons of us that have no clue what was going on behind the scenes and don't need nor want to. PM's are exactly that, PRIVATE and should be kept so. PM doesn't mean be nice though we all should be but at least if someone is going to be nasty, best to do it in a PM and not on the blog for all of us who have no idea what is going on nor care. Just my opinion. And you can always block someone if you get your feelings hurt.
I assume (and we all know what that means so if I am wrong, sorry) the site you are talking about is the Fat Wallets one. I am not trying to be rude here, but the only post for that site I saw was Jules posting of that is where they went. If someone posted it before that, I didn't see. I like Jules, as already stated, she is funny and entertaining and we have had more than one conversation about misc. things. I will also say I was very disappointed to see the posts about PM message content on the blog and even more disappointed to see the Fat Wallet posting on the blog. Again, ,I don't know who did what to whom nor do I care, I only know the parts that affect me, which is what I read so I know I don't have the whole story but isn't that the point? Most of us don't know the whole story, don't want to know, doesn't affect us but the negativity stemming from it is affecting us. If "they" whomever they are, post something to offend you, can't you be the bigger person and either ignore it (which I have a hard time doing so I understand if you can't) or respond with hey, no need being an A$$. Why, if they killed your gang members, do you have to kill one of theirs and so on and keep it going. Can't one of you be the bigger person?

You have posted at least 20 people have left. I am sorry to tell you it is more than that and even more than those 20 are sitting back stalking the site and afraid to post. I don't even post much and have received PM's from newbies and a few older ones about the negativity and turmoil. Their loss, but also ours as it takes diversity to make the world go round. And I am sorry to tell you that you may think "they" are negative and starting things, but so are you guys. Whether it is reactionary or initiated or some where in between. I do feel sorry for all of us that lurk most of the time. "They" are allowed to come on this site too, as is everyone. People can not respond and also block them. I for one miss them, as I would miss Jules if she left and I am willing to bet, there are alot of us with that thought process.

I couldnt enter the fridge game either. Thought it was over

Sorry if I offended you. was just trying to explain why some are hurt and so many have left. Gotta go
