DON'T READ THIS IF YOU ARE A SENSITIVE GIRLY-MAN-
I thankfully missed out on whatever funky kerflufel occurred, as it was none of my beeswax, but I would really be less than thrilled if there were any substantial personnel changes because of it. I've really enjoyed Geekhack, learned so much, and tried to offer and share whatever I can without crossing lines. Eventually when I'm done with most of my projects, I'm sure my time here will diminish, but I'll be available via email if there is anything that someone might need or want to ask. I've met some really great people here. (Interestingly, I'm making a fundamental change in business, and may have involvement in the keyboard industry.)
One item I've noticed is that the peeps that get into these silly squabbles, more or less dish out the same they get. It takes two to tango.
Another item, such as, I've never attacked, made fun of, or disparaged another member (unless attacked first, and it's only happened a few times in 2 years and 700 posts). It's point-blank wrong to do it, and those that choose to be that way are fairly worthless. On several occasions someone has felt the need to call me names or be very negative to me personally. Who knows why? I certainly don't open myself up for that type of criticism. Even if I did there is no reason for someone to offer unsolicited negativity. I lashed back at those people on the forum out of surprise and frustration (I can be an idiot too). This forum, like the local convenience store, your office, a park, or a party, has people that some find undesirable. That's life. The easiest thing to do is to not respond, ignore, avoid, and minimize whatever the aggravation point is. Easier said than done. Personally, the next time someone has some dig to take on me, I would prefer it done in person, so I could teach that ******* a lesson in manners by filling his mouth with sand as I kick the **** out of him and **** his girlfriend.
All I want here at Geekhack is the opportunity to experience and learn, meet people, make cool ****, have fun, and live the good life. Anything other than that falls into the "Off-Topic" forum which can be for anything else, it's a throwaway subforum so you can crap without leaving the site. My continued thanks to almost all of you that make Geekhack what it is, and to the rest of you...piss off!
