Let's discuss AZ member / internet persona clashes.....

I wonder if everyone admitted honestly how many people they have put on ignore would add some insight here. I currently have one person on ignore.

Cool...just checking

 

[ski_resort_observer]

You can do that ?? I have have never done it nor would I .. coward's way out. When someone is on ignore do they just disappear from the forum for you?

Not totally.....cowards way out....I don't think so. What is there to be afraid of. You do know that the flames are not real and actually won't hurt you....:wink:

It did it a couple of years ago, nothing personal. The first and only person I have put on ignore.

So true, what a pain in the ass it must have been.

As was shown here, I think there are cases where aspects of communication get lost, and so even when people aren't jerks and would get along fine normally, there are clashes of typed personalities. I know on more than one occasion, the combination of my sarcastic, dry "wit" and my hesitance to use smilies has led to a comment made entirely in jest being taken differently than intended. This is partly why I just try to ignore GSS; I can't believe he's actually that over the top, and give him some benefit of the doubt that his comments are partly a persona he puts on at an attempt to amuse other people :razz:.

A couple other bits govern my actions here. For one, I do look at this as more of a community, and therefore try to keep it more peaceful than might otherwise. Secondly, I'm bound to using logical arguments. Logic and flame wars just don't mix - I just can't hack a flame war.

There are couple people I generally just ignore, sometimes for stuff that doesn't have anything to do with their personalities. I can think of at least one person whose posts I can't read due to formatting and grammar. Just can't do it.

I remember bumping into you at sundown before the bump comp. just happened to notice some guy (you) putting a contestant number on his leg by the ski rack. Mind you, you hadnt posted on az yet and we had never met. I just said something to the effect of "course is really soft should be a good day". you looked at me like I had 3 heads and totally ignored me.

Lol, i never held that against you. :razz:

 

[2knees]

Pat, I will be completely honest here. Before I met you in person I relied on the way you post and what people said about you (you know, F--n gatorade bottle and all that) and I was scared of you. Thought you were going to end up being a real pompous bighead

Finally, someone admits to being afraid of me. My own kids laugh at me when i get angry.

You made my night. I feel like Chuck Norris. lol.

The part of the story Pat's leaving out is by that time in the day, Pat was about nine beers deep and what really came out of his mouth was "of course you're really soft, should be gay, eh" and then he puked all over the ground.

I was probably just confused by the bib, and had no mental capacity left to deal with human interaction.

If you need lessons, you're hopeless. I wouldn't take your money.

when was money discussed?

Your assumption of a cash/beer dispersion on my part and a cash/beer consumption on yours brings up an interesting side bar however. You've now exposed yourself as a fraud. Who turns down free beer?

Huh? If a total stranger want to be taught, I'll charge a fee. Fraud? Services = compensation. Take your ratios back to Cuba. Kinda like charging a contractor for using the electricity for his tools while he remodels your house.

I've never put anyone on ignore, well I did once for like 3 minutes just to test out the feature, but that's it. Of course I think it would be somewhat irresponsible for a moderator to start ignoring users anyway...

Lemme figure this out, Moe...

If you meet a hot girl in a bar, you should offer her money to hook up?
