PAGE THREE to be you and me

Post by Simon of the Playa » Tue Jul 09, 2013 11:01 am

It's where we kiss and make up.

and say we're sorry.

yeah, if you can't stand the heat, stay off of the eplaya BUT we all make mistakes, we all fuck up.



when i read the RV Hookup i too immediately thought KOA electric and grey water combo etc etc because that is the vernacular.

but the whole process of watching that thread develop was fascinating,


Thanks Everyone, by Page Three, balance had been Achieved.

Page three>>>>>>>>> Like after the cat and dog have run in.. They meet again in another room.. They stop and go into fight or flight mood.. That's when I say "no no kiss kiss" Cat don't like it but he will approach and touch noses with the dog..

I did not know it, but the cat grumbles about it.. These new hearing aids are great.. He also has some low words, going down the hall at bedtime..

Sounds like a real peach, unjon. Now you know what the dog's had to deal with all these years.


For my own page three contribution I'd just like to say that I am shamefully aware of my need to prattle on to the point of being a right-fighter. I fucking hate right-fighters. I wish I just knew how to shut up sometimes.

We caught BBadger saying something nice at least once. It wasn't an apology, but it was awesome.

. . . Unjonharley, I love to hear about your grumbling cat with his "low words", muttering oaths on the way to bed. :lol: :shock: :lol:

Oh great! Everybody acheives balance except the people like me who really care and pay attention. Ms. RVHookup could not have created more drama if she had been an actual troll. And it makes no difference to me if it was ignorance or malice; I don't like it.

She didn't create the drama - she had a badly phrased post, which she cleared up shortly after when she realized it from the negative responses. It's not her fault the thread got ugly - if you look at page one, people were already answering her real question and getting the thread on track - the "making it ugly" part came from us, the regulars, not her, when people decided to attack her (and RV campers in general) because... Burns. And I'm not specifically referencing anyone, multiple people on the thread fell into it. Her responses stayed pretty damn cool during the worst of it, and I've been talking to her in PMs & she seems like a genuinely nice person, and she's been going to regionals for a while - it may be her first year at the big burn, but she's no sparkle pony.

Besides, treating ignorance (a badly phrased question) and malice (an actual intent to cause harm) as the same thing seems a little unforgiving to me.

I'm trying to keep the times countable on one hand though...

I have apologized to people before, but in PM. I'm not sure what to think about "open-letter" to unspecified person apologies though...

On another note, a heartfelt thank-you to Shambala for saving me from posting something that may have caused too much grief and fallout among the people here I'm attached to. I won't go into details, and it wasn't meant to be taken seriously or reflect my own true feelings, but I'm glad I never got to see what could've come from it.

I think they are cheap and meaningless. And easy. My standard (that I try to live up to, not that I try to make others do) is "open insult, open apology." If there's any loss of face from my original remark, then I have to admit it. Someone else can't say, well, Fishy's actually sorry, she told me so. Doesn't cut it.
If someone asks me in a pm, and that's how they want it it's different. I also send pms when I've been really outrageous, so that the other person knows it's in fun, and I offer up saying it on the board.

How does that old saying go..."It's better to remain silent and thought of as a/an *enter noun or adjective here*, than open your mouth and remove all doubt." Hmmm...great sig line.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

That's a good way to approach apologies, after all, if you're actually remorseful, you should at least put that minimal level of effort into communicating it.

I also try to make sure I apologize before it "passes away" without meaning, but leaving a sore spot. A belated apology is kind of like asking if someone needs help when they're nearly done working on something.
