OT- Handling Posts That Irritate Us.

[ctchamps]

Irritating or stupid statements<verbal abuse or bullying<physical assault;
IMHO the latter two issues necessitate interference. The first category does not.

Step 1: After reading a post that irritates you count to 100.
Step 2: If you read an entire post that irritated you ask yourself why.
Step 3: If you believe you can change someone else good luck. The only person you can change is yourself. If you observe that someone and/or yourself has made a suggestion of change and that suggestion was not taken, why persist in further fruitless activity. Be your own solution and find another way of dealing with the irritation.

I hope you have a psych/counseling degree

My girlfriend is a school counselor and she always says her masters degree is in “feelings.” Shall I pass along your resume? You seem good at this.

My advice to you is find a girlfriend who is a UConn fan or a fan of any team but Duke.

All kidding aside she sounds like a keeper. People can help with intellect alone but intellect with heart goes further imo. My wife was a therapist. She provided me with a lot of information. I provide her with challenges which keeps her training fresh.

Lol my gf was a UConn team manager as a student. She’s proven herself. Her older sister is 8 years older and went to Duke so my gf grew up with *them* as her team because they’re from NH and they don’t have a legit team. But my gf is a Husky through and through. She’s a keeper.

Sounds like you and your wife are a great match hahaha. And I’m sure she was at the top of her profession having to deal with you lol.

We've been together since 1973. She's every bit the UConn fan I am. I'll take some credit for that. She's counted to 100 many times in reaction to me.

You're "almost 70." You don't have the time to be counting to 100 these days.

Haha. If you’re anything like me, it may take to 200.

Maybe we can relegate posters with a low enough frown v. like ratio to the conference realignment board

Nice, pick on the old guys, I'm very satisfied when I shoot my age in golf, very much doubt I could count that high without losing track so I count silent obscene three-word phrases, usually only need 10 or less.

I tell Siri to count for me while I sort my pills and change my adult diaper.

I dislike seeing that, and wish it weren't the case.

IMHO your post is irritating and stupid. I am not trying to change your irritating and stupid ways, just noting them.

[Travelman6]

It is not worth the energy to get mad at people on a message board. I often wonder how bad a person's life must be or how angry they must be to insult someone online. Happy people don't partake in verbal abuse because they are too busy being happy.

 

[TheChamps990411]

I can't remember the last time someone made me angry over a comment on here. I think place is quite civil compared to other chat forums I go on.

Nomination for best post ever

I love this. I intended to do two posts. It was going to be the op and a post exactly as yours. They were going to be posted back to back.

I’m well aware that the OP is a common sense approach in dealing with people and many if not most people who can benefit from the advice will ignore it and those who already apply it believe it’s an effort of futility.

I elected the serious start in spite of knowing it was setting me up to ridicule. If one or two posters can take the advice and benefit from it I consider the effort worth it.
