Once again, Mandy (out of a countless number of times since I first stepped into this place), you send my way an inappropriate and incorrect accusation. Unfortunately, you have a following here that cannot be penetrated, so you aren't viewed the caustic individual you have been to me (since the first time I stepped into this place, for some reason). That is actually fair, because you are far from really being an uncaring person - to the others here.
From a distance, Mandy, I've actually admired you - that can be validated by reading how I have repeatedly expressed this in a number of posts I've made in this Forum from time to time. I respect what you've overcome in your personal history, and I highly respect how you treat most members here. It's always been specifically with me that you've had any problem, which shouldn't be anyone else's problem - and that can be validated by reading your posts to (or regarding) me. I've had little interaction with you here yet you've had little good to say about me. Again - for some mysterious reason.
I don't care to defeat your relationship with the others here while in fact your attacks toward me those final days here are the chief reason I decided to leave. I don't care to interrupt what you've built with other SC members - you accomplished those relationships with the others here long before I arrived. But I also don't care to deal with being treated like I'm some jerk, namely with no apparent justification.
Here, I care to address only your unfounded and ludicrous claim that I was prompted or requested by Cody to make a pitch for him in this thread. Notice, if you will, the very absence of any support for Cody in my post - and the very absence of support for any specific situation, for that matter as you claim was my purpose for returning and posting a message.
Yes, I have emailed Cody. I have also offered the notion to him that he should consider how he may be the responsible party for anything misunderstood here. However, I did so in a respectful manner and - guess what - he's not the closed-minded fellow some may believe him to be. He's confident in what he believes and he's a learner toward what he doesn't know. Personally, I believe 'learning' includes the lessons in life one discovers about interacting with others, so I don't regard anything hopeless about the gentleman.
Cody may come away with something in what I said, he may not. The only thing I really offered him was that he was right. He was absolutely correct when he suggested that nothing here at SC was empowering him. Also, I suggested he go ahead and visit those conferences and those conventions he spoke of, to open his mind to more than these words presented in customizable font offered by some of the particularly tempestuous souls of a Website called Survey Central.
I'm curious, Mandy, have you in your entire lifetime ever apologized for something you feel you might have prematurely judged? Or are you better than offering that to anyone if it is only a possibility (in this case, the truth)? And before you think I'm trying to be an butt-hole with that question...it might be more constructive for you to first try answering it. (For yourself, I mean - I'm not really interested in a response to that at this point.)
How did I somehow know that good ol' Mandy would have a response to this post? And shouldn't that seem a bit ironic in itself? Since you and I have had such little interaction, how is it that you would be so inclined to address what little I've had to say for so long? I believe the answer to that is that you are once again bothering - anxious seems to be more the case - to pounce my way, just as you (and Icurok and Wicksy) had become quite comfortable doing in my late days here.
I truly don't know what you've always had against me. If you can copy and paste whatever verbiage I left somewhere on this site (or elsewhere) that could clue me in about that, I'd be more than happy to check back for it...and offer a genuine apology for it if that's what it deems. And only to help bring your discontent toward me to a closing. My guess is you would find it difficult to locate anything from me that is crass enough - or crass at all - to justify that you should even have spoken out and responded to my post.
To sum it all up (and I think I owe you this much) - who asked you, lady? | NthenSome

Hi, Biggles. There may be "good stuff left here" as you say, but certainly not for me anymore. There's no insult intended to be directed at anyone in particular - just my own experiences are being described here.
But...no, I didn't really "miss something". I acquired a few nice friends from this place and experienced a lot of fun creating and answering unique surveys. The environment went very sour for me is all, so I guess I'm compelled to project those sentiments.
Take care and keep steadfast in your direction - I sure think you got it together, Biggles. | NthenSome

Just momentarily passing through...and - wow. It's a shame to see how this hate factory called Survey Central is still living up to the one purport it seems to have to its existence - to create discontent and disdain with its own members. Is anyone keeping count of this dwindling population?
Aside from losing the consistent interactions I enjoyed with the "good folk" that frequent this horrible place, I'm very glad to have left this world behind, to be honest.
And for God's sakes, open a window - it's stuffy in here! |

I understand your deletion of the following survey: http://surveycentral.org/survey/1420.html
But, I have to say, I don't understand you tolerating the filthy life of this one: http://surveycentral.org/survey/14039.html - it's what engendered a bit of the recent "toxic" attitudes that are now abound SC. Each contribution to this survey, whether advocating it or denouncing it, has only added more of the flinging of 'tudes - as it's recently run rampid around here.
I was referred to have a look at that first survey (the one you made inactive) by email, by someone who knew how much I disliked the other one. I surmise one you made inactive was created in retaliation of that first one. I would never have known about it because, as you can tell by my sign-ons lately, I've pretty much stopped visiting this site.
It's just out of control lately, namely for a few under-brained individuals. If that interests you at all, you're easily able to depict who those troublemakers are by traveling through recent surveys and watching their behavior toward a few others. It seems these few pompous members have perched themselves high above the rest, and they have teamed up to make their droppings on those they believe are so far below them.
But, you probably haven't got the time for all that...in fact, you may be all too aware already who these people are (and "aware" by no crazy coincidence I'm sure).
Just thought I'd spout off about that other survey - it seems to have affected more members than it originally was aimed at pissing off... |

Kate has been having horrible roommate troubles with that jerk-O who shares the place with her. It's funny (sort of) how we can become concerned for people we've never once laid eyes on, huh? She told me about her living situation there and it's bugged me everytime I've thought of her. Wish there was something that could be done so she didn't have to live everyday with el jerk-O.
Well, Dabbs, it's great hearing from you again, really! You've got "that energy" and I can see it already having its affects here. I'll respond to you by email, but, unfortunately, I'm certain once I sign off now I'll never return to this place. It's quickly become a place I don't want anything to do with (see this "survey" <A href="http://surveycentral.org/survey/14039.html">Low-Life 'Survey'</a>)
At first, I got angry at Bill for not having a system that disallows that sort of crap, but he actually does to the point he's able, I guess. What's left is to see that it's a product of the SC population - enough for me to get the hell outta here, ha! It wasn't appealing much to me lately anyway. That "survey" just pushed it off the axis for me.
Oh well. We'll talk through email and I'll stay in touch with Kristal (and probably Cody and Zang). I'll talk to you soon. (I'll send you my work email address too when I get there this morning.)
Take care, DABBS! | NthenSome

Wow, you're something pretty incredible sending everyone cards like that, always remembering and posting members' birthdays. You're a good one, you are!
dabprovin@msn.com, got it. You know, I sent you an email about a month ago, when I was still "absent". Are you still having problems with that rotten MSN?
Thanks! Talk to you later! | NthenSome

P.S. Jekaba has been "filling in" for you nicely, assuming your role in the survey qualification process. She sometimes doesn't call the SC dump truck soon enough - you know, to pick up the junkie surveys - so we end up having quite a bit of litter here at SC these days. Plus, Jekaba...well, she doesn't carry any coconuts around with her. (How I miss those knocks to the head when I get out of line!)
But...we can expect only so much from someone trying to fill your shoes. Jekaba's just one person. You! You're...how many now? Heh heh.
(Your absence has created a void around here, I have to admit, Kate. So come back already!) |

Must be the holidays. I'm sure to be too busy again by the time folks get back into the swing of things here. Oh well... | NthenSome

The energy here lately isn't "bad" by any means...but it sure is low. Maybe we should start something to spruce it up a bit. Something, anything. We could start a contest of our own.
Subject: Fast Food
Ok, everyone who wants, create a survey with the words "fast food" in the question. Final qualification is granted only to the best survey - determined by being the survey that qualifies first. Once that happens, we have to go into the others' survey(s) and disqualify them.
The winner gets to come back to the Forum and post what the subject will be for the next contest. Label it "Survey Creation Contest". If you don't want to participate - easy...avoid using the given words of the contest's "subject" in your survey question. So no problems there, right?
Sounds like it might add a little more fun to the place...yes, no? |

The more weight you take on in life now will amount to less greys you gain in life later. (But you seem to somehow have that insight already.)
Well, I hope you're "ok" with needing to live with your parents for the moment. I know that's more stressful sometimes when a life of your very own - every bit susceptible to however you want to have it lived - teases you from just inches outside that front door, waiting for your lead. Believe me, though, I'd do anything to be able to "have" to live in that situation again. At least my laundry was done. (Just kidding - Chris is the perfect SO for me in that I like mowing the lawn and he doesn't mind the laundry, ha.)
I don't think I knew you were considering the medical profession. What aspect? I'm curious because I think you'd make one helluva therapist or psychiatrist with all that insight you knowingly harbor. It's funny - you remind me of myself when I was your age, in some apparent ways. (God, I can't believe I'm saying "when I was your age". Ugh.)
All that insight was (and still is) good for me - but, by the time I was twenty, I learned to lighten up on myself and other things. Man, I remember I would come home from school or return to my dorm room from working in the Air Force and go straight to the television, to soak up some more of that seriousness I always hungered for some reason. The evening news was usually a trusty resource for all that.
After I was glutting of all this crud, I'd spend the rest of the night (or day since I liked working the midshift) writing about what I knew - the same stuff I self-righteously figured the rest of the world didn't know. Had to put a character to it all - you know, to "write it down" - so the rest of the world could comprehend my ever-intuitive knowledge. (Pu-shaw!)
Turning twenty was good. I planned out my life - how the next 30 years would go (to include lots of partying and cutting completely loose). I'm just about living it out precisely as planned, too. The party stage is unfortunately over, haha. But, since it seems I can't break free of that tight schedule I laid out for myself, I'm damn glad I still like the original plan, ha!
Great to hear you're writing and hilarious to hear you say, "I kind of wish I would have dedicated my life to that and ignored all else starting in fifth grade." Sorry for finding that humorous, but...well, it's just another one of those things I would kick myself for. Each birthday that passed, I was just that much farther from being the "astoundingly-young yet remarkably-successful author". "Of three NY Times bestsellers" that is. Haha.
Which, incidentally, prompts no advice from me. Kick yourself, don't. You're a smart one, you'll lead yourself to exactly where you need to be, and you'll be there at the precise time you'll need to arrive.
There is advice I enjoy giving to people though: Trust yourself. I like offering that mostly because people like receiving it.
Good to have received the update. Keep pluggin', bud! |
