8O

I don't know if any of you remember me, but I used to post here alot. I've finally come out of hiding when I realized I am not 100% hated. My comments and questions, did not always receive the support that I had hoped. My last post's responses, angered me so much, I had to leave.

I admit my own unwillingness (at times) to accept that people have differing opinions and views, and especially the way they chose to represent them. Some of them however, were every bit as inarticulate or tasteless as my own. So, I am not entirely guilty.

Not much has changed for me. I am a doomer, I love asking stupid and inane post-apocalyptic questions and speculating of the worst case scenario. But what can I say, I'm pessimistic to a fault and I'm ok with that. I would not be posting this today, but someone actually remembered I existed. So I think I can come back into the P.O. community now. Hopefully wiser and a little more insightful into the views of others.

I have been lurking quite heavily, as the reality of P.O. is now practically daily news coverage. Maybe it was only a matter of time before I returned. For anyone that cares, no, I didn't commit suicide. I am not a P.O. casualty. Though I probably won't be posting more than I used to back in my earlier days.

If my earlier conduct on this site was immature and poorly expressed, I apologize and should do better to carry myself more respectably. But, I'll still hold to my views, that can't change. If you've read this far, thanks alot. I won't lie, its been hard not having anyone to talk to about this P.O. thing. Sometimes, I wish I could wake up and it would all just be a bad dream. Never thought I'd ever care so much about "dino blood". Damn...this is so cutting into my gaming time. Bye.

Welcome back...
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Well, welcome back.

We all have our own views so ur no different.

We all get pissed sometimes so again ur no different.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') admit my own unwillingness (at times) to accept that people have differing opinions and views, and especially the way they chose to represent them. Some of them however, were every bit as inarticulate or tasteless as my own. So, I am not entirely guilty.
This applies to many of us as well.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f my earlier conduct on this site was immature and poorly expressed, I apologize and should do better to carry myself more respectably. But, I'll still hold to my views, that can't change.
We've all had our times of being immature and expressing ourselves poorly. Recognizing our own faults is actually a very mature thing. I apologize for my short comings as well.

I must admit I didn't agree with you too much. Personally, I don't believe my personal views are as important as getting the word out about PO. This really isn't about me. Its about us and children that will grow up into the post peak world and the global warming world etc. This isn't about you either.

Can we agree its OK to disagree and we must respect each others opinion. I will listen to yours and you listen to mine. We may find a few points to agree on out of the many we disagree on. Something to build on and work towards something positive. What do ya think?

What game you playin anyway? My fav was tribes 2 but I don't get to play much anymore. Whats dino blood?
Peace out!

I played Amurika's Army. I'm not interested in joining the army, but what can I say the game is free. 8)

Dino blood is a nickname for oil that I read somewhere. I like it, so I used it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')an we agree its OK to disagree and we must respect each others opinion. I will listen to yours and you listen to mine.

Sounds good. In my absence, I think I realized I took the community for granted in some respects. I just don't want to feel like I'm the only one that knows what's going on anymore.

Sencha,

You're one of the first people I ever "talked" to on this site. I was wondering where you went and am glad you are back. I tend to be a "doomer" also, so, from one doomer to another, you are going to have to toughen up if you are going to survive. If you can't handle the internet, you aint seen nothin yet.

Welcome back!

I'm glad you came back. It's nice to have some PO neighbors.

Also, it's a good thing you didn't do what I thought you did...
