TO: GEEKHACK MEMBERSHIP (an open letter from jdcarpe)
« on: Fri, 26 September 2014, 15:51:24 »
Everyone:

I apologize for acting so salty lately. I don't know the reason behind it, but most of my posts of late have been extra snarky. I love the forum, and making new things with you all especially, but I think maybe I'm just tired of all the drama, which has seemed to me to permeate the atmosphere here recently. I will try and do more from my end to lessen the drama, and not to encourage it.

Sincerely,
JD

Or you can ignore it by just not opening the threads that obviously contain drama. I know it's often tempting to go see what's the new drama debate, but on the long run ignoring them is just better for your mental state.


And adding a joke once in a while in a more serious thread can be fun too as long as it is done with taste and presented as a joke. The hard part is to make it look like a joke considering a cultural gap. I usually try to mention the word joke in mines most of the time since if I don't someone ends up taking it too seriously.

Hugs to you, JD. I too am going to just simply let the drama threads pass by. Not participating is pretty much the best and only option to win in those cases IMHO.

JD,
Are you becoming like I was during "The Summer of Ping"? DON'T DO IT! JUST SAY NO TO RIPSTER AND DRAMA! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

Being aware of an issue you want to change is the first step to doing something about it. Now you only have 11 steps more to go :)

Oh yea, I'm still waiting for you to respond to my PM you old, cranky, Texas BIZNATCH!

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I have not noticed any drama around here recently.  But I have not been very active the past few weeks, so I don't know what's going on.
