hehe, you almost got me! :P

Thank you for pointing that out.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you posted some of your background so people here can get to know you better. There are people who have been posting here for a while so they know each others stories. This helps to see where they are coming from. You are a virtual stranger that just walked in the door. Introduce yourself so we can get to know you.

I guess it’s all in how we take it at the time. When I first saw the “bestowing awareness” line I laughed out loud. I though, “Hey look, Best Advisor got a degree!”

I guess I will chose that it was just a poor if not somewhat thoughtless selection of words.

Be careful, Tyk. She might take her thank you back.


J,

Have you been a BS? I really don't know your story and cannot imagine why someone would come here and post in such a condescending way.

If you have not walked in our shoes, you cannot bring awareness. If you are a BS, perhaps we can assist you in your recovery.

Quoting, so as to avoid any misquotes:

And thank you for pointing out that it was pointed out.

My very last "contribution" to this thread, much in the same way that SMB got her "thank you" revoked. No, Suamico, it was not you.

t&l

Oh, YIPPEE. My stalker is back!!!!

I believe he was pointing out that my comment about "some people" could in itself be viewed as condescending.

I hope none of those people chose to be offended by any percieved condescension! If so, post a one line zinger about it, I promise to act self righteous and put on a good show!

You are all so funny - I laughed almost till I cried. Who thinks MB stand-up is going to be the next big thing in the entertainment world?

Wow! Get your uterus and ovaries removed in your 30s and when you're 60 your 7-year old grandson will say, during storytime in your lap, "Grandma, you have a mustache," and people who don't know you start thinking you're a male. Why didn't anybody warn me before it was TOO LATE? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l, who apparently doesn't know the meaning of the words "last contribution" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Ok I know I missed something but I also know I am not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t offend anyone unintentionally. For a second I thought you pulled something I said when I first came here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

chrisner...you know, I have not had to opportunity to talk with you much, but I have read a lot of your stuff, and I have to say--you are truly hilarious. When I see you have responded on a thread, it's like--"OK, here comes chrisner...make sure you don't have a mouthful of beverage or it'll end up on your computer screen..."

TYK...I am confused that you feel I have chosen to point out something so obviously insulting to the good people here who have helped me and my M. Or that I "couldn't help myself." If we all took that attitude, really, why would anyone challenge anyone else on this site (like a foggy wayward, for example) to adjust not only their writing style, but essentially their very attitude in an attempt to help them.

You asked what my purpose was in pointing out this condescention...fair question. It was because of the fact that Justice obviously has a wealth of knowledge, and for her to come across as all-knowing and arrogant will almost guarantee a reduction in posters who would otherwise benefit from her advice. Had she posted her story, and then approached members in a more humble fashion, she would have quickly sealed her validity as a very valuable member of this community. Therefore, pointing this out to her will hopefully make her re-think her approach and understand that no matter how many years she attended school, it does not give her any type of superiority over anyone else here. Especially when we already have fantastic knowledge provided by the HARLEYS, as well as posters who are from all walks of life- including scientists, engineers, lawyers, etc.

You are entitled to your opinion, TYK, but I am also entitled to mine. I did not make any snide remarks to her, IMO, and it most DEFINITELY was not a "personal conflict." At least no more than any poster who comes here and has their poor attitude pointed out to them in the hopes that they will reconsider their approach and learn and grow from that experience, so that they can then possibly become an asset to the MB community.

Ok.

I found it irritating because the moment I saw it I knew "this" was going to happen. I came across it immediately after going to 2 or 3 other threads and encounting the same petty sniping, and I was just tired of it.

Its cool though, at least I got to help derail this one.

sorry if i confused your gender thndrnltng. If it helps any, I thought you were a very feminine man!

And the mustache. . .can't hardly see it in this lighting!

Oh no you didn't! I think you meant to say, "mustache? I don't see no mustache?"

Tyk,

You just can't tell nowadays can ya....

I mean, with all those hysterectomy-women coming of age.
