By not putting my real pic and name I am only hidden to the casual observer. That's enough for me. I'm not trying to become known for my political posts - some are. It's up to each of us to figure out what we want to share about ourselves to millions of eyes. Now what sites can know is another thing. I build sites. I'm not ignorant of that.
But otherwise - we are all flawed. It's called being human. :)
I don't know what else is going on for you Mr Reasonable, but there are plenty of game players on here that will mess with us if given the chance. I just ignore them and try to stay focused on issues that I care about.
What do you think of pussy cats, and two faced people?
The Truth
2012/04/15 01:56:14
I like pussy cats. They have real personality. If they don't like you, there's no mistaking it! They hold no punches, and few can be bribed.
People should all be as noble as pussy cats. SH seems to be the online capital of fascism, ignorance, pettiness, and worst of all, two faced people.
I'm packed from stem to stern with flaws in my character! I'm not bigoted, as I hate everyone equally.
Right there! SEE? You think that means, I hate people.. It doesn't say that.
I have flaws YES! Ignorance is not one of them. I defy anyone to even SAY that I've ever talked about anyone in some secret thread or communication, or participated in any 'boycott' of a sodahead user. Asinine idiotic willful ignorance defined is such a thing as a SH 'boycott'!
My name is on my bio page, I'm in the book! Not hiding from anybody! How many of you think by not putting your name on your account you're anonymous?
Anonymity online is a lie, believed only by fools!
Say whatever you like about me. I'm here, ready to fight, stand for what I say. 'Put my money, where my mouth is'. . Are you?

I'll gladly stick up for a friend, without hesitation or request. But I prefer not to get in the middle of quarrels amongst acquaintances. I really don't like having to "choose sides" when it's between people I don't really know.
As for anonymity... In today's world, seems there's no such thing. If someone wants to know something about me, I'll gladly tell them. But the more sensational stuff is already a matter of public record anyway. So, yeah... there's that. lol I guess you'd have to ask someone who knows me if that's an accurate representation of me. We often see things only from our own perspective, so that's definitely something to consider.
say no more...wink wink...nudge nudge...
to trust here...on SodaHead...
is a fool's game-
sounds like you have that figured out-
this is one pussycat...
that fits your description-
and proud of it-
but i will retain my cat mask...
for my own protection-
I believe in respect for others, and all of us are in this mess together wether we like it or not, so we need to get along and have compassion for others that are doing the best they can with the information they have. Humanity faces alot of challenges, loss of jobs, loss of homes, and some are dealing with illness. I try to keep that in mind when I speak to other people. Our country is changing and alot of Americans feel helpless in a way to stop it, but most keep trying.
I hope things work out, but don't let issues with others get in the way of what you want to accomplish on sodahead. Alot of people come to sodahead with an AGENDA, some its just the leader board, points and raves, some its to undermind others, some are socks. trolls and i guess that is what happens when you get on a public website. All of us have to learn how to deal with the public and avoid matters that get in the way of what we came here to do. Good luck, Your friend, Freedom Mom

I yam what I yam. Good, bad and ugly. I present my face clearly, in hopes of meeting my enemies and friends alike, face to face. (So to speak.) 0% respect for anyone who would rather talk about me, than to me.
I don't know who is involved,. Don't care! Have no respect for anyone who would engage in such a counter productive, ignorant way.
One of my oldest friends on SH, goes banana's over my telling another SH'r all together, 'Screw you, IF you can't take a joke', (Something I tell my wife daily! Have even said it to different employers.)
The level of asinine child hood school playground crap that goes on in this social site alone, is a frightening barometer, to judge all American adults by.
I'm beginning to switch sides here ffs!
I think from my observation, you both took each other the wrong way and it got out of hand. If my husband said to me, what you said to your wife, it would tee me off. Why? It sounds disrespectful, I don't respond well to that. I guess its the difference in how people take things. Iam just trying to say not all people respond the same way. Iam just trying to explain that. Iam not trying to critize you at all. Iam just explaining the difference in people and how they interact. What may work for others might not work for someone else.
How ever to bare false witness against someone, and call them a liar,.. Goes overlooked. It's a surrealistic satire!
Did you read the email I sent you with further explanation?
Perception is the problem. When people want to be offended, they can't be stopped from it.
At no time did I ever say screw you if you can't take a joke. To you. (Though it may apply.) I have been speaking strictly of the incident on the thread.
The thread is not a religious thread. I didn't say anything about being religious. I said screw you IF you can't take a joke, which was taken by everyone to say 'screw you'.
I was attacked, called a "false witness for Christ" a hypocrite and a Liar, by the guy, who perceived I had said 'screw you' to him.
To not be able to take a joke, is to admit to having no sense of humor, and low self esteem. To being very much too sensitive and dull to talk to. IF that is you.... Screw that. Better?
Screw you, is not at ALL in any reasonable definition an attack on anyone's personality, beliefs, ideals or morals. It's more like, an opinion.
However someone saying screw you, gives the other person the right, to call the offender, a hypocritical false witness for Christ and a liar..?
And all this self righteous religious dogma coming over saying screw you, while not even in a church!
Surrealistic satire! A Cosmic comedy.. A galactic irony!
I'm glad I stopped traveling years ago, cause there has been a huge change in the drinking water out there!
There is petty anger... And righteous anger.. Yes?
Respect isn't even a topic I am interested in, as I don't think ANYONE alive has very much due them. (Including myself.)
'Screw you' while perhaps rude and offensive, is in no way by any REASONABLE definition, a personal attack.
Therefore In my opinion to get angry over anyone saying screw you, would be petty anger.
'You are a liar'.. I know of men dying for saying just that very thing,.. Bam last words out of their mouth!
That is in my opinion, righteous anger. (Especially when it's a lie, from a voice of ignorance.)
You seem to be still under the impression I'm hurt in some way by this episode. I assure not in the least!
To be hurt, I would have to have cared in the first place..
I really don't care for anyone who can't take a joke..
I find them to be a bore. I cannot stand anyone who can't understand the simplest of conversation, they give me a headache.
I use this social sight as a way of advanced social studies. Trying to have a check on the 'pulse' of America's way of thinking and understanding,.
If sodahead is any indication of America's attention span, capability for rationale thought and decision making... And I'm the doctor, I'm pronouncing time of death at yesterday.
You talk against government tyranny and yet you want to sit as lord and master to pass judgement on people because they just might call you up on being rude to others. There is a big difference between self Rightious and being in Gods light of knowledge of standing up for his rightiousness, not yours.
Its not about standing in Gods Rightiousness, its all about being right. This whole thing started because of lack of respect that is the truth. Furthermore when someone says ( screw you)- to me its rude and chidish and I believe God would even agree with me on that one. Your just angry with me because I don't agree with you. I will not dance to your tune because you decide to make the rules up as you go along.
TRUTH, You were Rude to someone, and someone said something back about the way you acted wasn't a christian act. You got angry, speaking about self rightious, and then proceed to defined that (screw you) if not said in a church is not offensive, its opinion, its petty if anyone gets ...

You got angry, speaking about self rightious, and then proceed to defined that (screw you) if not said in a church is not offensive, its opinion, its petty if anyone gets offended, because of your defintion they have no sense of humor. Because of someone making a remark that it wasn't a christian way to treat someone, here we go with the (dogma conversation) and then you say,. you are standing in Rightiousness because by your definition they called you a liar, or your perception is they question your Faith? I never for a minute thought anyone question your Faith, they questioned your behavior towards another person.
When you get an email and someone tells you how they feel about it and you don't agree with them.
Iam sorry, but I just don't agree and that is fine with me if you don't agree with me. Its not important to me. You have a right to choose to believe, what you want to about me, because I find that sense of humor rude and offensive. I will still be your friend and Iam sorry if your feelings are hurt and if I made you angry because I don't agree with you. I hope things get better for you and we can just agree to disagree and remain friends.
And while I am sorry you choose to think that way of me, I do not wish to try to alter it.
It's just unmistakably evident you have yet to see my side of the argument.
It is more about freedom of speech than any type of religious moral..
I am free to say "screw you" to anyone I choose too and anyone is free to feel anyway they choose to about that. Anyone is free to say "screw you" back to me and that is fine.
However, If someone wishes to personally attack someone else for them having said "screw you" they are taking their life in their own hands.
You are projecting ridiculous hypothetical scenarios based upon your bias opinion of me.
At no time, from the beginning of the world to date, have I been hostile toward you. OR threatened to kill anyone.
The great thing about these conversations are that they are in print. I can read it over and over and still see I am right every time
When I say that to my wife she takes it in the spirit that it is meant and laughs.. She is cool like that and I guess she knows me better..
