I said I agreed with you....now let's not get carried away..
Playing hard to get, I see... Seriously... you know what's so ironic about this? I probably got more BAM's today than I have in a long time. Talk about twisted irony...

You are talking to me... you, Matt? (that is just a wink, nothing meant to be mean!!)
Yes, the same way I also talked to you when I welcomed you back recently.
naturally:
As for you, i am a bit confused about some things. Again, you are entitled to your opinions, as long as you are clear with them............which i don't think you are. But this should be talked privately, if it should be talked at all.
If you go back through some of my recent posts while you were gone, hopefully I clarified and explained.
naturally:
I didn't see Amanda attacking you, i saw her defending herself. But maybe i missed something since last night!?
Except she had nothing to defend herself against. My post was made towards another member. She took it upon herself to respond to that implying that I'm trying to stifle everyone and then, once again, make it about her, when it had nothing to do with her. So, whether she attacked me or not is irrelevant... it had nothing to do with her to begin with.
naturally:
And honestly as for her thread, no offense, but i sincerely think it was meant to be fun and show how we all won't follow rules... there was one thread like this before and it was started while your was too, if i remember well.
Right and, if I also recall, the mods locked it because they found it similar to this one.
naturally:
But again, maybe i missed something. Just expressing my opinion.
Fair enough. It seems settled, anyways. They made their choice to post on other threads and, as they feel that's best for them, that is fine. But that is a choice made on their own, so I think we've discussed everything that needs to be discussed about this. At least I hope so.

i didn't announce anything i only posted BAM like i could have posted anything. I don't know what bothers you so much with it. Did i come back here only to BAM? No. I missed plenty of them and didn't pay attention to them most of the time. i came back like i went away : quietly! And i thought everyone understood this BAM was just sort of fun, i can't find the words but damn! now that i know what people think, i regret this post and all those that followed! i had no idea it was taken so seriously and badly! this was just a post out of the blue! DAMN!
Why are you suddenly assuming that I am referring to you? I was primarily referring to people who come on and post "I'm back" after only being gone an hour or the night before. And when Dorothy said that it's probably done as a way to notify others that they're on, that's when I made the above comment.

I am thinking happy thoughts for the thread. because, I want everyone to be happy. That is what I am trying to do.

and you know how you posted to me...admit it you have a hard time talking to me compared to before... but no need to talk about it here.
Well, yes, I do have a harder time talking to people when they're not online, as you weren't for a few months. I'm also a busier man than I used to be, and not the guy who spends all his time on here anymore, thus I might not be on for a couple of days sometimes. Does that somehow equate to negative feelings towards you? Nope. You're welcome to have your own interpretations, but there you go...
naturally:
You seemed to talk about BAM and people who use it to show they come back. And the two posts of yours i quoted were very clear about what you think. "But not to let people know that you're back, or just took a s**t, nor to display rampant OCD over a BAM. " seems very clear to me. So don't be surprised i take it that way. Unless my English is very bad.
Then I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I was not talking about people who use the BAM! to come back, thus you weren't even in my thoughts when I made that post. I was referring to something separate, such as the post ITSWD made earlier, when they came on and posted: "Back." That's what I meant. When people come on here, and make a post that says something like "I'm back" or something similar, when they've only been gone for a few hours or something. I was referring to posts like that. As for the OCD comments, I meant that in the sense that most of the discussion that's been on this thread has been about BAM'ing and how they can't wait to come on here JUST to BAM. That's what I was referring to and how they're letting that take over actual discussion, when the thread's intent was the other way around. Well, I'll be damned... BAM!!

Did i say that? Did i only think that? Nope. You're welcome to have your own interpretations...
It seemed implied, but all that's for another time and place.
naturally:
OK so you mean you don't want this thread to become a chatroom were only one or two words are made on each posts, that's it? i kinda disagree but i guess i understand better what you mean now...but admit it was hard to not misunderstand!
What I mean is this: My intentions for this thread is for actual discussion to take place. This thread has always been a thread to bring things on, if they don't fit anywhere else. Keep in mind the word discussion: to have a conversation, to interact. That doesn't mean I'm expecting deep, intellectual chats; no, I don't mind having some fun, nor do I mind others having it. In fact, I encourage it. Here's my problem... 1. Like the last incarnation of this thread years ago, instead of having discussions, people start to use this thread to start telling us irrelevant things about their life that doesn't promote discussion at all. So, instead of people coming on and having a discussion, whether it's silly or serious, now I come on here and read things such as... "I'm back." "I am now here." "I'm back and ready to start BAM'ing!" You see how this doesn't bring about discussion and how it's more about posting ANYTHING to get closer to a BAM? THAT'S my problem. I mean, offline, let's say you went to a friend's house. When you get there, instead of saying: "Hi, how are you doing?" you walk up and say, "I'm hungry" or whatever random thought that came into your head. Wouldn't that be strange and wouldn't they be going: "What the hell?!" Most importantly, wouldn't that hinder a discussion? It's as if someone, say, went on to your Friendship thread and, instead of keeping to your intentions, just went on there and said: "I'm sleepy," and that's it. Wouldn't you be irritated or feel that didn't really bring anything to the thread? Or for that matter, that nobody really needs to know that or every single thing that goes through their mind and it was, well, pointless? And besides that, there are already threads to do that style of posting in; the thinking thread, the doing thread, the I am... thread. That's partly why I have the guidelines. To have a discussion for the sake of a discussion. The BAM! is only there for discussion to keep happening, but not for the discussion to focus around the BAM! and only that. That's what was happening and I felt the need to correct that. Some people didn't like that, but they have found alternatives, so good for them.
naturally:
Oh yes you are! j/k
Sometimes it can seem that way!

YOU are the only one that makes you feel that way Julie.....only YOU!

naturally:
That is other things that make me think you do have negative thoughts toward me but it's alright and again, i don't want to talk about it publicly.
I just said I didn't. If you want to believe otherwise, knock yourself out, I don't really care, but it's sure as hell not based on anything I said. That's enough on that. Moving on...

Thanks for paying attention. I guess I wasn't clear enough.
