I'm the whiner. I'm the complainer. Those are my tags given to me because I'm disatisifed with the system the way that it is. So be it. I'm the whining complainer and I'm proud to be so tagged.

Our country has a long history of whining complainers. You know what, just call me an angry American.

The voting here is skewed. You know it and I know it. We all know it. Only, I have the balls enough and so doesn't Scouries to say it publicly.

If you have friends here, if you are one of the "in" crowd, you receive lots of five votes and even win a contest or two. Me? I get 1 bombs and bashed unmercifully.

The bashing of stories is unacceptable. Why bother writing a story? Why should any of us write for free only to have our stories so bashed. You would never do that to my face. You would never act that way to someone on the street. Why gives you the right to have that ugly behavior here? What gives you the right to shit all over this site with your misery?

The contests aren't fair. Again, if you have lots of friends, you can take turns deciding who to vote for this month and who will win the contest this time.

Now, I can understand if there are readers out there who don't like some of the stories that we write, but when it is one of our own, when another writer here on this site, calls my stories shit, then that's not right.

Now, I have two very disturbed women, who will post here in a few minutes, running around here quoting me in their signatures. They've been hoping that I'd notice their signatures so that I'd flip out. They enjoy that when I do that. They are the real troublemakers and not me.

It doesn't bother me. Matter of fact, they can take this entire thread and put this as part of their signature, I don't care. Actually, I take it as a compliment that they advertise my quotes on their signature. Who knows, maybe they have my name tattooed on their asses, too. I don't know. They are disturbed and hope to get me riled so that they can continue their game of lunacy.

Anyway, like you, I'm just here to write stories. I thought it would be nice, too, if once in a while I could have some fun like the rest of you guys and post something on the forum boards, yet, every time I do, I'm gang attacked.

That's okay, too. I'm a big, burly guy. I can take being attacked. I have a good sense of humor and I realize that much of it is in fun, albeit at my expense. Nonetheless, there have been some really hurtful things said by some of the people here and you know who you are and everyone knows who you are. That shouldn't be tolerated. I wouldn't do that to you.

Oh, yeah, sure, you can pull many of my comments out of context, mean spirited things that I have written after someone has said worse to me over longer periods of time. Yet, I'd be the first one to defend another writer who was being abused on this site, as I have done on behalf of Scouries, which may be why I have been so targeted.

I thought all that was in fun. I never took Scouries thread as serious. Yet, apparently, some of you do and have. I'm known as Scouries friend. Yet, that's okay, too, because he has been more of a friend to me than many of you have.

Still, I'm human. As a writer, I have feelings. All of us who write here are sensitive, which is why we express ourselves through writing. Now, I'd like to be part of this community. I'd love to feel accepted and I'd abide by all the rules of courtesy that I give to anyone who I meet on the street. I hope you will give me the same courtesy that I give you.

Those of you who have gone out of your way to offend me in the past and you know who you are, please don't contact me. I'm done with you. I won't answer your PM's, e-mails, or make comment to your posts, no matter how nasty you get. I'm done. Fortunately, there are very few of you who I prefer having nothing to do with. There is seriously something mentally wrong with those people.

I won't put them on ignore, though, because I'd rather read what they write. The mean comments they write inspire my writing, you see. I derive my inspiration from them. The more they bash my stories and I know that they have, the more stories I'll write. So, knock yourself out.

For the rest of you, most of you are wonderful, talented, creative, and intelligent people and I would be honored to be accepted as part of your group. Truly, I'm a good guy who just loves to write and wants to learn how to write better. As you may have noticed, I learn how to write better by writing more stories, which is another reason why I have been targeted for bashing having written 550 stories in 19 months.

Anyway, I hope some of you will allow me to start fresh with a clean slate. I don't expect all of you to welcome me with open arms, but I am man enough to apologize to those who I have offended. I'm sorry.

Yet, for those select few who have been so mean to me these past months, I can't forgive you for that. I will never bother you and I hope you will give me the same courtesy.

Now, I hope that some of you will give me your words of welcome or support by writing your comments on this thread, but I understand if you don't feel comfortable doing that. You can contact me privately and I will answer everyone who contacts me.

I just wanted to make this public statement because I'm truly tired of having shit thrown at me every time I make a post here.

Thanks for reading my thread.

Freddie,

So we're all cool? That's great. Just one teeny-tiny thing. I think you owe an individualized public apology to Anna_Maria_25, the author whose writing you called "shit" in your previous thread. She had nothing to do with our little brouhaha. I understand that you made an honest mistake in citing her work when you intended to cite mine. In the spirit of welcoming you as a member of the AH community, it seems to me that apologizing to her would be a classy thing to do.

And I in turn will apologize for publicly correcting your grammar. I'm sorry.

Anna
 
I'm a bitch, and acknowledge it openly, but I think I've been fair to you in the past.

As far as I'm concerned: welcome to the AH. :rose:
 
Byegones.

I started hangoing around the AH because I couldn't hack the bullshit that went on in the GB.

Then this place turned a little sour.

As did I, and still do when I go back to the wilds of lit.

Freddie, I think you're funny as hell.
 
If you've been here long enough you'll know what I mean when I say "Never apologise."

Yeah, but I like it when your a bitch. And you have been open and brutally honest, which I respect.

Thank you for your support. I appreciate your kind words. And I am kind of funny, huh, and modest, too.

Yeah, well, sometimes, a simple "I'm sorry" can lower the temperature and avoid a confrontation.

"Love is never having to say your sorry."

Yet, sometimes, after the divorce, "God, I'm sure so sorry that I fell in love with her."

Starting a clean slate, what an interesting concept. I hope it works out for you. Here's a bit of advice to help your fresh start, but please don't take this the wrong way.

Don't start spouting off about the winner of the next contest. That's what starts all the crap going again. Just congratulate the winner or if you feel he or she didn't deserve the win, just keep it to yourself.

Post your stories. Delete any negative comments from them. Hold your head high in the knowledge that you've produced the best work you can. I know what others have said, but I stand firm in my belief that if you ignore the trolls, they'll look elsewhere for their fun.

And lastly, don't lose your sense of humor, Freddie. You're one of the wittiest people here, when you're not angry.

Oh yeah, and welcome (back) to the AH.

Later, dude!
 
No hard feelings whatsoever. You're as welcome here as anyone.

Thanks for the advice, Sweetie, and for the kind words.

I'm going to say something that I hope will not come back and bite me in the ass in October, "Good luck to the Detroit Tigers."

I hope it won't bite anyone in the ass, Freddie. They've gotta start winning games though or they won't be playing in October.
 
Good to see you're sticking around. It wouldn't be the same without your witty comments. Stick to what you do best, making people laugh, and you'll be fine.

Nope, actually I'm quoting you to counteract all the other times you've said that particular story was crap, shit, a disgrace and didn't deserve to win. That's all.

When I'm sure you've given up that line, I'll remove the sig.

Have a nice day.
 
Freddie,

I am relatively new here and I have only two stories and three poems and one story has the "H" after it. I'm not in any popular group...I write what I like and it pleases me that others like it as well.

I like people and I am shy, so I come here and I can meet new friends and have fun....I am sorry for all of the stuff that you have been through. A new start is good ...just make it new and leave all of the other stuff behind...good luck...
 
If your idea of starting with a clean slate is to label your critics (the "real troublemakers") "disturbed women" with "seriously something mentally wrong," I would rather be on the "disturbed" team. Anna asked you to apologize to a completely innocent woman whose work you gratuitously denigrated; starrkers wants to make sure that you've given up the attitude that produced the offensive hate-filled screeds you penned in response to not winning the How-to Contest.

If you're sincere in starting over, perhaps you would do them the courtesy you've accorded everyone else who has posted here by answering them.

No, sorry.

You see it was because of the shit that Anna started in the first place that caused the error. I will apologize to the author whose story I pulled in error. I'm sorry, Anna 25.

You are free to read her first post to me on my thread asking for help with the bashers. I never met the woman and she comes out with guns firing at me.

Now, as far as Starrkers goes, do you really believe this started with her winning the contest? Nah, this started with all the other mean spirited post that she made before she even entered the contest and it ended after she reposted Mungo Park's speech after I publicly apologized to him. Starrkers has been stalking me from thread to thread. Every time I post, she posts right behind me with her shitty attitude.

She has a way of twisting things around to make it appear like I was the one who started things with her. She makes it appear that she is the victim when instead she is the vindictive.

Starrkers has been at me for months. Nonetheless, I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment.

Oh, I'm tired of seeing this, like it's some major injury.
I reposted Mungo Park's post to the Survivor Discussion Thread the same day you apologised to him. In fact I posted less than an hour after you started that thread.

I put it on the Survivor board, and explained at the time why - because it was most relevant there and it had originally been posted in a thread few see. Mungo Park's veracity had been called into question on the Survivor Board and I felt it was only fair all those who read the Survivor threads should see his post. I notice the moderators haven't removed it, so they must have agreed.

You could just as easily have reposted your apology to the same thread.

I fail to see how that makes me mean spirited or is a shitty attitude.

Keep smiling and give that cute dog a pat for me.
