Cheyenne - The Board Sensor

[Wiggles]

Cheyenne, I am always going to be inconsistent. You've already pointed that out in one thread.
I'm always arguing myself into a corner, and I don't see any way out of it. I just have way too many varying opinions and feelings.

You might want to leave out my inconsistensies, they'll probably be WAY too much for you to handle, and it would take up all of your time.

A lawyer speaking in understandable English?

More power to your elbow sir.

I agree with every word.

Cheyenne's memory is a gift for her and a asset to this board.

You take from a post exactly what you want, not what anyone else tells you.

You've been here all of what, 3 months? You're still a newbie in my book. Pick a topic, do a search, and you'll likely find MY opinion posted on it somewhere here at Lit. Usually I'm accused of having too STRONG of opinions on various topics. One dimensional? My viewpoints are all over Lit. All you have to do is read.

I never made any accusations I stepped away from quietly, either. One thing I'm not, and that is quiet. If you are referring to your "fun" with Lavy on your joke threads, I stand by all of my original posts. No backing down. No modification. I still think you're trying to play children's games with the grownups. The little boy who cries "wolf" once too often. And I treat all of your posts accordingly. You never know when they might be "real" or a "joke." But as I always say, it is your right to portray yourself however you want on the board.

I may be a newbie in your eyes but I think making too strong a distinction between the 'old guard' and the 'newbies' is limiting and something I have attempted not to do.

The same way I see you as 'cop number 1', you see me as 'wolf' boy. I honestly have that perception of you, its not my trying to creat a label for you. Have I read everything you have posted? Of course not, but I have read a significant number of your more recent posts and thus my perception was formed.

I think you being hung up on the Lavender argument thread shows waht you do and do not remember. You are one of those who assumes all my posts are now a collusion with other board members, as you stated. What you think happened with that thread and the Juicylips thread is far from the truth, so yes I take exception with your assumptions.

As far as how I portray myself, its not much of a conscious decision. I know very little of what people think about myself and I'm not sure I could portray anyhting significantly different from what my image is now. I am aware of many misconceptions about myself, as accusations after some of what I have said occurred, but its part of the medium and attempting perfect clarity would be more time than anyone can expend.

I still have issues with your style, that isnt going to change. I think you know its less of a persoanl attack than it is an attack on the tactics. I think you should be more aware of context and the coloring in such, its selling nearly everyone short to think in such black and white terms.

I have never felt oppressed by your comments and cannot quite see why people would feel as such, but thats me. If people have felt oppressed that is unfortunate but probably cannot be helped and is far less attributable to you than to other factors.

Using this to make a broader point: I would never bother to argue with someone I don't have some degree of respect for. This seems to be an issue in my RL, and otherwise recently. If I thought you were exactly as you appeared, Cheyenne, it wouldnt be worth saying a thing.

I think you realize this thread and my post are not a 'Cheyenne flame war' as so many seem to think and want it to be. I do regret it beginning so late at night and developing without your presence, that was unfortunate but I dont think intended by Ruby, or by myself with my post.

 

[Skibum]

Damn, Chyenne! You really got 'em stirred up! Way to go!

Chey,

I can understand your need for order, however your tactics still feel like public humiliation 101 to me. And I'm not even talking about when they are aimed at me. I hate it every time I see you do it.

I find it really interesting that you didn't respond to the below parts of my post, but did say this: "...I don't change my opinions or beliefs to fit the situation." What does that mean? That those of us who have occasional inconsistencies don't have strongly held opinions and beliefs?

Most of us are human, and thus have different moods on different days. Sometimes we feel light and want to laugh. Sometimes we feel serious. Sometimes we're whores and sometimes we don't even know sex exists. We might even change our minds on a certain subject. And get this, sometimes we'll even contradict ourselves!

A point I failed to make originally here, is that we respond to the "feel" of the post. Here, I brought up Laurel laughing to the Hank post. That was a light-hearted, funny post. It was not meant to start a deep discussion about religion.

daughter's post was thought-provoking.

Most of us would have entirely different responses to these two threads because of how they were presented.

Does that make us contradictory?

 

[Cheyenne]

Dance, dance, dance in Smartie Pants...

Are you still hearing that song in your head, AJ? LOL

Thanks to all who posted nice things about me. It wasn't necessary, but is appreciated.

 

[Cheyenne]

You are one of those who assumes all my posts are now a collusion with other board members, as you stated. What you think happened with that thread and the Juicylips thread is far from the truth, so yes I take exception with your assumptions.

Look again. I never said anything about assuming your posts are collusions with others in the future. You did the Juicylips thread all on your own as far as I know, so that wouldn't be collusion.

My concern is not knowing when your posts are "real" or not. If I have to guess whether you are posting "real" or as a "trick," I am not likely to waste time wondering. I'm likely to move on to someone else's post where I don't have to make that guess. That was my only point. If you want to be seen as the trickster of Lit, I'm just not interested. That's okay though, I'm sure there are many other people here who don't mind that approach. It won't matter if I'm not in that group.

You misunderstood, Ruby. That WAS my response to your sections listed.

I contrasted my approach where I don't change my beliefs or opinions to fit the situation with the examples you gave. Different moods on different days may change the tone of my posts, but never their content as far as beliefs and opinions.
I am that consistent, yes I am. Drives people crazy, I know. I also meant that I don't change based on who my audience is, or who is involved. As I said- it doesn't matter if the person is a vet/newbie/Laurel/ or Manu. My posts don't change in content based on who I am replying to. If I disagree, I will say I disagree. I don't keep quiet because it may be Laurel or another popular member of the board who I disagree with.

Your second question starts with an incorrect assumption - that I agree your "Hank" thread was funny and light hearted. By now you should see that I believe the exact opposite. Did you read my posts there? Did you understand my question to you - if you knew any stories about mustard seeds? Maybe it was too obtuse, but I thought that response alone should have told you my beliefs. Your thread was just as serious to me as daughter's thread on blanket ridiculing of people who are religious. That's why I used my response to your thread as my response to daughter's thread, too.

 

[Azwed]

Hmhhh I am just staying out of this.

 

[Guest]

Well maybe it would help if you yourself Ruby stayed a bit consistent. You change your mind on topics constantly then get bothered cuz you are posting to a place that saves everything you ever typed. A person doesn’t have to have a perfect memory to read you Ruby and see how you said just the opposite a week prior. So you have moods, but this has nothing to do with changing a mood here and there as the days ebb on.
Just try to be consistent and maybe you’ll be okay.

And just maybe a few of your own “jealous” trolls will leave you alone.

Meanwhile you showed your absolute true colors with this misspelled, mean spirited thread.

And you have the nerve to call Chey anything, you just tried to go:

“I’m saying this cuz I’m tired of her hurting people.”

Do ya live in a glass house?

 

[Guest]

Well i have to say that i've never seen Chey do this kind of mean spirited act like our sweet resident slut -who thinks everybody doesn’t see right through her- just did.


Though i doubt Ruby could see the irony in this if it bit her in her overly used ass.

 

[kashmir]

Honestly, I’m really saddened to see anybody call someone out in this particular manor.

Sure, say what you want...but in this regard, I find this to be an incredibly tasteless thread.

It's not what you say...It's *HOW* you say it.

 

[Cheyenne]

It's okay, folks. Show's over! Move along now.....


Please don't add attacks on Ruby to this thread. Two wrongs don't make a right.
