Which is, I think, one reason people fuel the douche-competition and emotion-driven backs and forths here. Perhaps at a subconscious level, feeling a lack of power and control, it allows them to feel as though they've taken it back, at least at a micro level.We can't reconcile unless people want reconciliation. Several people post here just to argue. I suppose it's better to do it here than in public.
I've accepted something a mentor taught me years ago...reason and emotions cannot occupy the same mind at the same time. Those who hate will never be reasonable.
Good news is, nobody's opinion matters in the grand scheme. None of us have any real power.

My hopes for you completely dashed again.I feel no different dominating and humbling you regularly. I call it another Saturday. Good to see you switch up the emojis, old man progress.
You're a good contributor. There are several here who stay above the dumb stuff. Only a handful provoke (either through trolling or name calling). I happen to believe those behaviors say more about them than the people they provoke.Which is, I think, one reason people fuel the douche-competition and emotion-driven backs and forths here.

I'm losing my taste for either participating in it, or observing it. It's saddening that folks here act like they are continuing discussion by calling other boot-lickers, ***/ball/genitalia-lickers, or fill in any other. ON BOTH SIDES, btw.
It saddens me to see a culture where people can take (even anonymous) pride in being that person. SMH. Common decency is apparently not common.
Do either of you actually believe that this type of internet social media strutting makes you look like you're winning the "I'm the well-adjusted adult" competition?My hopes for you completely dashed again.
I'm that guy that walks quietly up to you while you're incessantly boasting, taps you on the shoulder with a smile, and then points up to the scoreboard.![]()
Hey Pal, it's about to roll into the best time of the year at Tahoe-Truckee. You need to visit at the upcoming time of year for the full perspective of greatness here. Be nice if you could go out while we're there.You're a good contributor. There are several here who stay above the dumb stuff. Only a handful provoke (either through trolling or name calling).

Stick around and be part of making the board a better place.
I don't. I am not concerned about the feelings towards me by most posters. If you read the entire exchange between us today, you would know that. There certainly is no competition in it for me.Do either of you actually believe that this type of internet social media strutting makes you look like you're winning the "I'm the well-adjusted adult" competition?
McRib and I talk about it often. Won't be this year bc of grand baby. Next year 2 cruises. Year after trip to Italy. We hope to organize a family ski trip in 28.Hey Pal, it's about to roll into the best time of the year at Tahoe-Truckee.

Yeah, it's super nice, but you've got some fantastic events and trips planned over the next couple of years. I would love to have a place in southern Italy on the coast. Or somewhere in the DolomitesMcRib and I talk about it often. Won't be this year bc of grand baby. Next year 2 cruises. Year after trip to Italy. We hope to organize a family ski trip in 28.
You know how I cherish the place. My favorite spot on the planet.
My circle of friends are no watches. Smartphones hurt the watch market for time telling. We don’t exchange gifts, we do away basketball/football games or trips. But you’re sweet for the gesture.But you don't have a Trump Bible. It's almost Christmas give a watch to all your friends, if you have any. Up
