Why befoul an IotD thread with personal crap? That's not fair to readers there because there are people who read there who don't read the rest of the Cellar. Let's do it here, where one can be more direct and personal. It's just us here.

Out with it then. LUVBUGZ: the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly. Let's discuss BUGZ in all ways. What do you like? What do you not like? What do you hate? What do you love?

Sorry UT, I wasn't thinking about the casual visitor or possibly new recruits that come by way of the IotD thread. BTY, that's how I got here in the first place. It was the Purple Polar Bear a friend e-mailed to me. I had never visited a forum before that and didn't really grasp the idea that it is like a whole little universe in and of itself. Fortunately for me, apparently unfortunately for you and the rest of the Cellar heavy hitters, the first person I talked to was bgmb, I think that's right, I call her "B". I sent her a PM asking how to make a post and she graciously helped me out. In my naivete I jumped in head first, or maybe head-up-ass first, and started posting away, not realizing that not everybody in the Cellar would be as friendly or welcoming. I saw people basing on each other left and right and thought WOW, I do that pretty good, I'll definitely fit in here. Boy, was I ever wrong about that. Next I see Dave giving Anne a huge blast of shit in the Digital Airbrushing thread. He went off like a bull with a cattle prod to his nuts. I personally thought he went a little overboard, but he has a right to his opinion. Geez, I thought, you can cuss and everything here and no one really gives a big happy crap, it just makes for an entertaining flamefest. Boy was I ever wrong on that one too. Almost from the minute I opened my big ass mouth I've been hit upside the head everywhich way possible. I could accept that if it was in good jest, but for the most part it's not. Many people around here are actually pretty damn mean, and if it weren't for the good ones I'd just leave and let you guys enjoy the thrill of victory whilst I ran away with my tail tucked between my legs and endured the agony of defeat all by my lonesome. I'm perfectly fine with people not liking me or disagreeing with me, but we should still be able to carry on a perfectly civilized discussion/debate in an adult manner. Not everybody likes everybody else, that's life. As I've said before at least DagNEY can come out and say it to my face rather than beat around the bush. That I can deal with even if she chooses not to deal with me. At least we both know where we stand with each other. I can even accept that not every comment made to me is a direct attack, but it is rather difficult to take advice from somebody who continues to do so while ripping my head off and shitting down what used to be my throat (I'm NOT refering to your earlier advice in the Abdomen thread). I heard what you said there and was going to try and heed it, before you posted again asking me not to post in any of your threads. Damn UT, am I really that despicable of a person that you don't even want to see my name in the same thread as your's? I never knew you felt this way. See what I mean about people just coming out and saying what's on their minds. I still don't really see what I did to piss you off to the point of basically telling me to take a hike. I have tried over and over and over to explain in detail to people here how I have taken their comments, why I feel the way I do and still no one can admit that they were in the least bit partially to blame for the their part in the misunderstanding or whatever you want to call it. Well, I can remember one time Whit fessed up he was a "little" condesending, but before I could thank him for realizing why I took offense, he rolled out another stink bomb and left it at my feet. I really don't know what I can do or not do to fit in around here. I guess I just don't, period. I've tried to be like one of the gang, I've tried to be funny, I've been a bitch, I've tried it all and still the littlest thing can set off a torrent of 'liquid feces'. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you've lost interest after the first couple of sentences.
