<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2466298, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m going to do something here that I don&#039;t normally do in situations like this. I dunno, maybe I should, maybe I shouldn&#039;t, but I&#039;m gonna do it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what else to call it so I&#039;ll just call it personality conflicts - sometimes people just rub each other the wrong way. That happens in the face to face world and it happens on forums, though it probably happens on forums a bit more often because forums lack all the nuances present in the face to face world, like body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, inflection - all of the things that allow one to read another and thus have a more accurate understanding of their words.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, even when one of these personality conflicts arises, or even when you just flat out disagree with somebody, there is a way to express that disagreement without resorting to, I dunno, childlike behavior. There probably aren&#039;t a whole lot of people on this forum who have had more people disagree with them than I have. So I do have a bit of experience in that regard. And when that happens you can disagree with them to your hearts content, but you can do it as an adult, in a respectful manner. And that is how we are ALL supposed to do it. I think each and every member of this forum was taught that as children, but somehow when we become adults we forget what we were taught. Instead of using our heads we let our emotions take over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people, well, I just don&#039;t any other way to say this, some people take offense at almost anything. And I&#039;m not pointing any fingers at anyone specifically, I&#039;m speaking in general. Everybody here knows what I&#039;m talking about when I say that, everybody here has seen it over and over again. On forums and in the face to face world. It happens, it shouldn&#039;t but it does. And to those who do take offense some say - grow a thicker skin. Me, I say - GROW UP ! It&#039;s the real world. Learn how to deal with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I am going to point a couple fingers, directly at [USER=11540]@ldhair[/USER] and [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER]. I know both of you, and I want to tell you something. If you two were to meet face to face, and neither of you was aware that the other was ldhair and Insider - you two would like each other. I even think you&#039;d become friends. Sure you&#039;d disagree about some things, but who doesn&#039;t ? Certainly nobody I ever met. Both of you disagree on some things with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I dunno, if my opinion matters to either one of you, but there it is. You can make of it whatever you want. Will it help, will it make a difference ? I dunno, that&#039;s up to you two. What I do know is this, you are both an asset to this forum. I have respect for both of you, always will. And you can both be the men I know you both to be and you can learn how to deal with this. Or not - that&#039;s up to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
