Alright, alright, alright...
I went to bed last night completely annoyed and pissed off, and I woke up this morning to 764 PM's in my inbox, LoL. (Okay, not that many, but you get the point...) I can't tell you all how much I appreciate the love. I enjoy posting here with all of you -- it's one of the highlights of my summer. As much as you say Big Brother wouldn't be the same without me, I say Big Brother wouldn't be the same without
you.
Last night, I was severely upset. Not about the show or the POV or any of that. I think we all know what triggered my anger. I'm generally a cool, calm and collected guy, but it infuriates me like no other when people try to make ridiculous insinuations that attack my personal character for no reason whatsoever. I find it very offensive. It is so beyond pathetic to even
suggest that the members in this thread "have issues" with gay people and their own sexuality just because some of them (myself included) wanted a straight person to win a competition. I mean... really? That's such a bogus argument, it's not even funny. After dealing with this same issue in another thread several months ago, I couldn't believe he was trying to throw that tired insinuation in my face
again. Not to mention all the other members he aimed it at as well. He knew it pissed me off before, and I fully believe that he brought it up again just to bait me and piss me off once more. In other words... non-stop shit-stirring. A miserable person stopping and nothing to make other people miserable too. After months of playing nice and trying to bite my tongue, I was just DONE.
I honestly had no intention of posting here again after last night. I had thrown in the towel and declared defeat and I meant it. One of my biggest annoyances is when people cry wolf and claim they're leaving the board just to get attention, and that was the last thing I wanted to do. However, after sleeping on it (and reading all your messages), I've decided to grit my teeth and stay. I'll take your advice and simply put the "Ignore" function to good use. In most cases, I don't like ignoring people because I really enjoy reading what other members have to say -- even the ones I usually disagree with. However, some people are just begging for an argument, and in those cases, it really is better to simply click "ignore" and be done with it. I only wish is that the moderators would take a closer look at the problem and figure out who the common denominator is when it comes to the trouble in this thread, but I'm not holding my breath.
Anyway, thanks again for the messages, everyone. You're all very sweet.
