Originally posted by Lt. Bob If you weren't so busy trying to figure out if somehow this is an insult to you and only you....you would have noticed that I came down on Chris for his behavior and only commented that it's unreasonable and uncivilized to call people liars when you have no real proof that they are, in fact, liars. I mentioned the incident with you only to make him see that it's wrong to do that.

Why don't you do me a favor and find a way to complete future metaphors by leaving my name out of it. It clearly implies that I'm a model for uncivilized behavior and there's probably a billion different ways you could've worded that without using me as an example and still getting your point across.

I told you in that PM that I didn't believe Chris did what you said he did.....period. I also said that he was putting up an apology thread and that might be an opportunity for ya'll to mend fences if you wished. The fact that ya'll didn't is on both of you.....him for not mentioning you, and you for not trying to take advantage of it. If you want to make an issue of it......I'll put the PM up and others can decide.

Take advantage of it?? Can't you see that apologizing to everyone but the person you've offended is the equivalent to an anti-apology?

BTW....I never responded to your e-mail where you told me that you were "firing a warning shot across my bow"......what the fuck does that mean? That I'd better act like you want or else?

Yes you did Bob. I still have the PM, you can post it if you'd like. In it you apologize for both yourself and Chris but I got nothing like that from him. If he'd done it himself in a sincere manner comprable to the shit he'd been dishing out, I'd have been more than willing to bury the hatchet. I can walk down the street and punch someone in the face and then say "opps my bad". Doesn't make things right again though. Better than saying nothing, but still doesn't undo everything.

"Firing a warning shot means" I wanna know whether i have to consider you a hostile personality on this board. If you respond negatively I'll consider you hostile if you respond reconciliatory then I'll consider you non-hostile. It's not meant to be threatening in any way I just want to know where we stand.

You fashion yourself some sort of uber-mature even tempered guy but you are pretty quick to unload on me or anyone for that matter who irks you. Look at the post I made that prompted you to send me a PM in the first place. I said "Yeah Bob you have his back". I didn't post "Yeah Bob I think you are Chris's bitch" and yet somehow you found a way to interpret it this way ??

You are complaining about hypersensitivity.. "Hello POT? Hi, this is KETTLE, guess what YOU'RE BLACK"

It just blows my mind that people are so self-involved that they take any comment by someone else and twist it into being an insult to them. You weren't even on my mind, I was just trying to get Chris to understand that he crossed the line. And it worked too......he calmed down. I'd like to think I helped with that.

Yeah maybe it helped him but in a clumsy way it didn't help me, I don't think you intended this though. I'm not going out of my way to looks for things to insult me but when you use someone by name as an example of poor behavior??

What if someone said "Hey don't act like an asshole like Lt. Bob does!" and then says "opps sorry Lt. Bob i didn't mean to imply you were an asshole" will you feel the same way before and after you saw that?

OK....hopefully this will put this to rest..

Yeah maybe it helped him but in a clumsy way it didn't help me, I don't think you intended this though. I'm not going out of my way to looks for things to insult me but when you use someone by name as an example of poor behavior??

Fair enough.....that's a valid point. You are correct that I truly did not mean that as an insult to you; but you are also correct that I could have chosen many different and preferable ways to get that point across. Sorry about that..... I'm apologizing specifically to you!
Not meaning to insult doesn't make the person on the receiving end feel any better and your point is well taken. I will leave you out of future metaphors.

"Firing a warning shot means" I wanna know whether i have to consider you a hostile personality on this board. If you respond negatively I'll consider you hostile if you respond reconciliatory then I'll consider you non-hostile. It's not meant to be threatening in any way I just want to know where we stand.

First off.....how can I be hostile to you? I hardly know you and unfortunately, our first contact (besides me hearing your tunes) was a spinoff from a situation that had you already pissed-off. But
you should be able to tell if someone is hostile by how they act towards you. Have I ever been hostile to you? Ever? All I did was tell a friend that I had his back. Are you saying that you would never tell any of your friends that? And telling him that I've got his back is not the same thing as being hostile to you. I defy you to show any posts I've made that are particularly hostile to you. I simply backed up a friend in a dispute that I thought was a "Mountain out of a molehill." That's all....nothing more. I haven't been, and I am not now...hostile toward you. Believe it or not as you see fit. I'm not responding negatively or conciliatory.....I'm just stating the facts as I see them and stating how I feel.....I can't control how you will recieve it. That's your decision.

......... you are pretty quick to unload on me or anyone for that matter who irks you. Look at the post I made that prompted you to send me a PM in the first place. I said "Yeah Bob you have his back".

Actually it was in context with something else which is what made it a "shot across the bow" (your words) I forget what it was and I'll have to go look for it but you didn't simply say 'Yeah, you've got his back" and you acknowledged that when you told me it was a warning shot. Simply repeating me saying I had his back would not have been a warning shot. But, theoretically at least, we've already dealt with that.

As for being quick to unload......give me an example of where I've unloaded on anybody. Even this thing you and I are going thru right now.....I don't see anything in my post that could be construed as 'unloading'.
I said I'm tired of, and don't like people calling each other names and liars and whatever other insults they can think of. I don't like it and nothing anyone is gonna say...not you or Chris or Uncle Crawdad )) is gonna make me change my feelings about this. I can only remember one time on this board that I've ever unloaded on someone and he's a friend that I quickly apologized to and we're cool. But that's the only time since I've been here that I've really unloaded on someone except for trolls.

What if someone said "Hey don't act like an asshole like Lt. Bob does!" and then says "opps sorry Lt. Bob i didn't mean to imply you were an asshole" will you feel the same way before and after you saw that?

Actually..I would. You can believe it or not as you choose, but I do accept apologies and forget about it. Granted......if someone does something over and over....then I'll get to the point where I no longer believe them. But misunderstandings happen all the time and I feel you have to be fair with people and accept their word when they say they made a mistake. You can hardly say that this is something I've done to you over and over, or ever before for that matter.

AND......as I said up top....that was unacceptable for me to use your name as an example.. The fact that it was just a stupid thing to say on my part doesn't change the fact that your objection to it is totally justified.
I apologized up there for it and I will apologize again. You have my word that I will never do that again and you have every right to expect that.


Now.....does this clear up everything and can we get back to the buisiness of making music?

Thanks Lt. Bob. Yes. It's all good. Sorry i made such a big deal about it, but you pretty much covered everything needed to be addressed in your last post. You do a very good job of putting out fires.

 

[Lt. Bob]

Cool.

Ya know, some day we'll all look back on this and laugh.
