Well, I'll break my "This is my final post in this thread" promise to reply
to the first post in this thread that's right on the spot. Matt, I salute you.
I mean, come on people. I don't deserve to be treated this way because i
was upset at the situation and wrote a post to express my feelings. I've
been married 3 1/2 years now and my wife, who's studying to become a
psychologist, is as intelligent as you can be. Why do I explain all this?
I'll explain my point of vue. To me, when someone judges a relationship
with so little facts, it's as if the other person, my wife here, was too
stupid to realize how evil I am. "Poor her, people said, how she must
suffer... You need an attitude adjustment, LEGO are LEGO..."
It seems nobody but me has ever had bad days, bad experiences. I said I was
sometimes short tempered. I think I was being honest. But I also started
the post with a title "Divorce" and then by saying that i exagerated...
This said clearly, i thought, that i was exagerating the whole issue because
i was ticked off. Now, if I'm the only one that has bad feelings when 3
days of work and a perfectly good chair go to dump, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
i'm honest enough to trust this community with my feelings.
I am hurt by your posts. I was only posting to have discussions about bad
LEGO days. You know, like the good thread that talks about getting a brick
up your feet or things like that. If people can't keep their judgements for
themselves, I don't see the point of having threads about other things but
LEGO-products here on LUGNET.
I don't think I attacked any member here with my post. I don't even think
it was offensive for anyone. If you guys think i'm some sort of sexist,
well, I'm not. I'm simply a guy who likes to complain about little things.
If you don't like this, ignore my posts, but nobody has the right to attack
me and declare that i'm immature, sexist or whatever for a simple,
funny-meant post.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got better things to do than defend myself.
Especially since i realize more and more by reading your posts that the fact
that my English is not perfect may well be the cause of this flaming on me.
I thought i wrote it so people would understand i was joking. I was wrong.
Maybe I should hire someone to check my posts before I get attacked because
I don't speak English naturally?!
Terry
