"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Goddamn I love booblicious's honesty. Anyone who can outpost that damned Old Bird can't honestly have enough time out in the real world getting real experience. You can be the best KBJ in the world but I just can't see you keeping things around here in order. To be a Mod you must have a mean streak.

Sorry 'Cisco.

I would think WBA would be the ONLY person to Mod H&F.

No prob but I'll let you in on something I believe is true; there are more than a couple other people in the forum with really high post counts. It's not apparent because they've done it using several accounts. I'm actually proud to say that I have never had the need to create another identity. :D

I'll add that I can hold my own without having a consistent mean streak. During a couple of flame wars I've had posts deleted because of the crass things I had said about the flamer. I'm not complaining about it, just stating that some of the guys here have seen me with my horns and pointy tail.. ;)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Somehow LMS is the only person who has managed to make it on my mute list so far. Not even wyldfire yet. I have alot of tolerance for most people but not dip$hits like LMS.

This is a good example of a post that has the intention of starting a flame war!! I'm sure Francisco wouldn't allow such slander to be publicized!! I'm not even going to respond, in kind, to this flame by this Homo!!!

Wyldfire- why did she get banned?

Whether you LIKE her or DONT - that issue aside.. Just want to know the REASON? Anyone?

Men don't need to justify themselves or their actions.

Yes they do (generally) - to the society......It would be a different storry if you lived in the mountans where your actions don't impact anybody esle.

In this case it was for the good of the forum; she was a magnet for contraversy, arguing etc....and she refused to pick her battles.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I don't know, maybe it could be considered free advertisement to attest to one's infamy. There's someone who lists the people that they're ignoring in their sig, I think he listed both of us! :up: Hey, whatever a person needs to do to get by....

Isn't quoting, replying, and attacking him a "response"?

Anyone who seeks to be a mod should be disqualified as a sane candidate.

I might have to agree with that. Who would want a hard thankless job like that anyway...
