Not true. You unhinged your jaw on rofl taco and others a few months back.
wales was not being disrespectful or rude. She was being real. You could do well learning from her. She's very knowledgeable.

I NEVER get personal and go after other posters, ridicule them, mock them, get rude, etc. I just block or ignore.
This is someone who falsely accused me of being a book writer. When there was a thread devoted to making fun of me, she entered and continued to say I was a troll/bookwriter.
She did NOT tell those making fun of me to back off or say they were WRONG.
I defended myself - admittedly, in a long-winded way - and was suspended partially for that reason. People said I was causing trouble when I had literally NEVER attacked anyone. I've only RESPONDED to people's attacks on me to DEFEND myself. When mods don't read literally months of posts/threads for context and UNFAIR posters (who are veterans and likely friends - at least, friendly to each other on this forum) report me and encourage others to report me for DEFENDING myself AGAINST RUDENESS, then that's like some kind of biased, oppressive gang bullying.
It's the norm here. Small pack of rude veteran posters, who give responses that talk down to others, RARELY say a nice encouraging/uplifting word, VERY FREQUENTLY are quick to criticize and/or ASSUME the WORST in others' comments, and go around acting/talking in a BOSSY WAY, go around acting horribly to posters and then when that poster or someone else speaks up they jump on them (often as a gang) with the most controlling, bossy tone (with no sympathy) squashing that person. Then they try to report and get others to report that person and SHUT THEM DOWN. Never pausing and trying to understand that person's feelings and side of things like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING would do. If someone is upset, I stop and try to understand them.
If that person complains, they get their peers to report or attack/mock that person (like creating entire threads to make fun of me).
wales has history with me. She knows she falsely accused me of things in the past and called me a troll/bookwriter in that extremely agonizing thread where tons of people came in and mocked me.
Now that I think of it, YOU were in one of those thread that MOCKED ME, HB. I remember. You never said a thing and seemed to play along in that Five Guys thread. So, you're just as guilty. I REMEMBER WANTING TO BLOCK YOU! I saw how you were.
Point being with wales, she has a history with me and should be actually NICER and sensitive to the fact taht she offended me int he past and watch her words carefully. If I offended someone and it was my fault, I'd try to be extra careful/nice/sensitive to them going forward to let them know I care about them, am sorry, and am speaking respectively, etc. I wouldn't want to go around speaking to people, who I know may be sensitive to my words in a rude way.
As for rofl - he's one of the MOST UNFAIR posters on this board when it comes to me. I PM'd him about this and he couldn't acknowledge anything. He's super self-righteous and cannot countenance the thought of being wrong. He KNOWS he and others were in a thread mocking me. He saw what others did. He never tried to intervene or stop others. He called me out, but not others. Why is that? Why focus on me?
He goes around the forum talking to me in BOSSY WAY. Dood, I'm an adult. Unless you're a psychopath controlling person who HAS to DEFINE things in that sort of, "I'M RIGHT AND HERE'S HOW IT IS....NO OTHER VIEW MATTERS TO ME" and never listen to someone else's side and have ZERO feelings, etc. sort of way, you don't go around talking like that. It's rude and anti-social.
Thankfully, 99% of members here aren't like this. It's just that small group who are often most vocal. Really, anyone with good values and social skills wouldn't bother with these folks. If a poll went up, you'd see that probably 99% of the forum members dislike the behavior of the 15-20 people who act this way.
