[quote="SLOT DYNASTY Many of these threads have vaulted off into new horizons, and are becoming so mixed up, that
it is getting harder to look back at certain subjects. I have found myself changing the subject at times, and don't like to take that route.
Now this thread has wandered off into "slot porn" and "gun porn". Where could that possibly go? I don't want to know!
Might I suggest starting a new thread called "Talking about Absolutely Nothing". That way, I can just click on 'Delete', and go about the
more important subjects. [/quote]
Not sure if you were upset about Ricks nice article about his Garand stocks or if you are not up to date on current lingo, your thoughts are somewhat meandering. Possibly you are ignorant of popular lingo used for the last couple of years in almost every other forum on the Internet as it pertains to "porn" and other terms so let me re-edumacate (obvious intentional use of non word) you on the gun porn or slot porn reference, and others. With the advent of the Internet (invented by Al Gore who served in Vietnam) there has been an explosion of new meanings to old words. My reference to the slot porn = photos lots of photos, smack=heroin (not female superhero {pun intended} or a kiss) and hook up means sex not a fishing reference or an electrical/plumbing connection. LOL laugh out loud (you need more of lol) roflmao= rolling on floor laughing my ass off, IDK= I don't know and getting stoned is a metaphor for ingesting or consuming a controlled substance to alter ones perception or behavior, not a punishment to the death for incest to promiscuity etc.
What good is this thread if a newbie signs up and posts ONE...1.... Nothing else ONE, ONE WHAT. Something we can help with?
Not sure what your problem is I don't see you welcoming the newbie anywhere or encouraging them to participate, LIKE I DID, or ask questions or anything else positive. All I see is another bitch and whine pontification by someone that must be very frustrated in their life, work, relationship or faith, with nothing else to do but criticize and complain.
You know I could take your emails to me warning about other members and paste them in here for everyone to see. You must really believe you are the know it all on everyone's collection and reputation according to you and are not afraid to share your cantankerous opinions of them with others. You know who I'm talking about bashing his collection and telling me you were just saying things on the forum just to upset another member(s).
If you took one tenth of your negativism and turned it into positive encouragement and reinforcement this would be a much better forum. If not, then maybe you should contain yourself and refrain from posting your personal comments here. If you want to piss and moan and bitch and nag let me know and I will personally prepay and set you up a blog (Nattering Naybill of negativism.com) so you can share your narrow and closed minded views of the world according to you.
I enjoy reading almost everyone's posts and seeing their photos. It's great asking questions and getting help or answers like I get from many many other more seasoned members than I of this forum, it is a great reference for everyone young and old knowledgable on coin op or just starting out. ME? I bought nine or ten machines in my short time of being a member because of the camaraderie at first. But then recently there was a pissing match between other members that was public and soured me on sharing UNTIL NOW. I'm still a newbie and the negative manure (a word Bessie Truman tried to get her husband then POTUS {President Of The United States}) to use instead of the one I'm thinking of that really detracts from the enthusiasm anyone might glean from this forum just reviewing it and here we are again another urination match.
I know this will probably be deleted soon and I may become ostracized or even banned from the site, it is what it is. I have a nice collection now and know who to go to for positive answers and input.
Let me know if I need to refresh your memory on your comments about certain other member(s) and I will post them in the talking about nothing thread you suggested....or this one.
