I don't mind constructive criticism but non-constructive criticism is a different matter. If someone brings up information I didn't know or forgot about I take it into account & ensure the other person knows I've taken their information into account before I've told them whether I've adapted my opinion & why or why not. Then, I agree to disagree if necessary. I thought everybody knew this was the right thing to do. If I can do it why can't everybody else?
-
It really gets me when people don't look at all the information before they make a decision & then when you tell them other things that would make their decision full they start getting abusive & treating you as though you're stupid when they aren't getting the full picture instead of listening to all the information given & taking it into account, respecting you for your opinion & stating that fact & agreeing to disagree & they won't see sense. I'm very sorry if my statement is unintelligible but when people get angry they normally go into fight/flight/freeze mode & sometimes they think clearer than normal & sometimes they can't think straight. I think my anger has affected my use of grammar there.
I know what you mean. I get frustrated with that too. I welcome new information but I find that many people get defensive and take new information the wrong way. I have to get on my teenaged son about that all the time. Sometimes when you try to tell him something he sees it as criticism instead of viewing it as knowledge.

Yeah. They really do nothing... and children from abusive homes when taken away from their parents are often put in with children who've broken the law... so you don't even know if you'd just be making things worse.
-
We have this service called 241-KIDS, where you're supposed to call if you know that a child is being mistreated, but the system is overloaded and there is no help for the children.
I worked in a school and there were children who would get dropped off at the bus stop and winter and summer and the parents wouldn't be there to meet them. The children would have to wait until the parent got off work. Calling the 241-KIDS didn't do anything. A very sad situation.
-
Yeah. We called the police one night, because of the child. They said they'd come but they didn't...
It's so sad to see how this woman is very nice, and then she drinks and kinda becomes a monster. Incredible.

Interesting thread :)
I have new neighbors next door, and well, it's like this. A woman, husband and a little girl (about 5 I'd guess). Anytime I meet the woman she's lovely, smiley, friendly. She likes animals. I like her. Then at nights she - obviously drunk - keeps shouting to her child, to her husband. Telling her husband she's the one to make money and insulting him and putting him down. Telling her daughter she will give her up on adoption, I know she hits her too. I hear the gild cry every day, either about something serious or about any silly thing (they won't take her to the movies or whatever), because with all that she'd obviously becoming hysterical.
This many times late at night, up to 2, 3 am. They're also often out on the backyard late at night drinking and talking and laughing loud, on weekdays.
Sigh.
That's horrible, and as a neighbor you're powerless.
I feel sorry for all of them, but especially the child. The adults can change their situation, but the child has no options.
That's so sad.

That's what you call reaping what you sow. In the end of all your deeds..... consequences will follow. Those consequences, whether good or bad, depend upon what was planted.

I want to RANT AND RAVE......
When my husband passed away, I had no job.... I was a housewife. With 3 children, and the eldest having a part time, I decided to start my own childcare and it was enough to pay the bills and put food on the table, but I had to make do without many things and often made sacrifices to make ends meet. I had neighbors, the husband worked and made pretty bucks and the wife worked in a clinic. Every day they knocked at my door, "Can I get some bread?", Can I get milk?", "Do you have any sugar I can borrow," (yeah...like you're going to bring me back my sugar)", "Do you have tomato sauce?"....it was endless, and I never said no. They would come have coffee in the mornings. There were time I even cooked dinner for them and their children!
UNTIL.....I find out that they were both working off the books, she was receiving Section 8 (a government program that pays a portion of the rent based on your income), she was on public assistance (which paid the rest of the rent that Section 8 didn't cover), plus they send her enough to pay her utility and cable bill......and they got at least 600. every month in food stamps. Basically, what they earned in working was for their luxury of weed and high tech equipment. They were scheming the system!
And here I was struggling....and feeding them! It really bothers me to see people doing things like this and getting away with it!
In time they lost everything...even their apartment. So.....they didn't really get away with it after all.
There are so many people like that. I worked with these two ladies. One lady was so sweet. Every day she brought lunch for all three of us. Sometimes I ate and sometimes I didn't because it felt like taking advantage of her, although she insisted. But, there were days that I had no plans for lunch and the food was there, so I ate. At any rate, whether I ate or not I brought her Coke and ordered pizza on Fridays to give her a break.
The other lady ate every day and had the nerve to complain even though she was getting the food for free. I just shook my head. So, one day Stingy brought in some chicken salad which looked a lot like the tuna salad (the best tuna in the world) Sweety Pie brought in. So I said, "Oh did Sweety bring in tuna salad?" And Stingy who always ate pizza with us on Fridays said, in a nasty voice. "That's my tuna salad. I brought that in." I was like whoa, excuse me. But no problem because people like that are always in need because they put their wants first.
Stingy would go and buy perfume and pay exorbitant prices at the beauty salon (which she couldn't afford) and then bum money off of every one else. The money she paid for the perfume with had come from her daughter who gave her the money to help out with her rent.
One day she asked me to borrow $200 or she was going to be evicted. I had some extra cash and actually considered it, then I looked down at her Starbucks cup and the croissants she had bought from the pricey eatery next door and thought, uh no.
Well come to find out, guess what Stingy did? I still can't believe it. She actually claimed six kids as dependents, although she was 63 years old and lived in a one bedroom apartment. She did this for years and finally she got audited! She is now supposed to pay a hefty fine and prove that the children lived with her, which she will not be able to do.
People like this are infuriating. Sweety is still helping her get to work, feeding her, and helping her find a new place to live.
Personally, I am glad someone else is helping her, because I was going to. There are people who are total users and takers and they feel no remorse in taking advantage of others.
Bad fortune follows Stingy with one catastrophe after another, but she never sees the error of her ways. And you know what? She never will.
Some people live off their wits and they don't who they use to get their way.
Disgusting behavior.

they were terrible people.
they had absolutely no business doing that to you.

I forgot to build you a welcome center here today.
I got tied up at imperial palace tonight and did not get back until quite late.
I will do it tomorrow. I need to hit the sack.
it is getting hard to stay up now. it is almost 3 am here.

affirmative.
I know people that get so mad they start cursing while driving.
it is obviously frustrating at times when people are too lazy to use the turn signals but there is not much we can do about it.
-
I have come up with another pet peeve:
people who are too damn lazy to use turn signals on the roads and highways.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You've been traveling too much lately. Good luck with all the nonsense on the roads and try to keep your composure. Even a short errand run brings numerous occasions to get peeved.

I think sooner or later they are going to have to ban the use of texting while driving in bigger cities.
and now people have another addiction: they are watching movies, CNN, ESPN, Football games, and sports shows on their cell phones while they are driving.
-
That's one of mine's too, and those who hold others up on the street because they decide to have a conversation with their friends, and have the nerve to wave you around like you're the inconvenience.

I have another pet peeve:
people who drive on the highways as if they have no destination or are looking for beer cans.
they are the ones who cause some of the accidents.

I was a member of Samprasfanz all my life and never come across anything so hostile before.
I think that I was a member of that group as well. Were they the ones who carried the banner from tournament to tournament?
Anyway, it was a great outlet and there was no bickering or childishness.
I even had a penpal from Germany we corresponded for a few years. It was fun.
They might have carried the banner I am not very sure. Who was this penpal of yours? I might recognize her. Do you remember the President of that club? Her name is Joy and she's now a member Murray's World, the forum that I talk about from time to time. I was in touch with her but then I had to leave as things weren't working out for me there. She had sent me quite a few PMs after I left but in order to reply those, I needed to log onto MW and I wasn't very keen on that.
Such a small world we live in, innit. :)
Gosh, it was so long ago. I don't even remember my screen name, so there's no way I remember hers. Joy doesn't sound familiar, but I've never been able to keep up with too many screen names at a time.

You speak of such interesting things. Some of the subjects I find fascinating as well, but my journey has been tailor made for me. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am where I am supposed to be.
It's difficult to explain Christianity in a way that many people would understand, because I find that many people who call themselves Christians are clueless as to what God requires of us. There is a big difference between being religious and being spiritual.
The stories that I could tell you.
I am of Muslim background and they don't believe in reincarnation. The concept of reincarnation was first introduced in Hinduism and Buddhism, two of world's oldest religions. It is said that "Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that cannot be defined, but is only to be experienced." I believe that speaks volume.
So judging by my own background, I should only subscribe to my own faith but I am also a person of great curiosity. The God I believe in is not judgmental nor does it tell me how to live my life. I believe it has given me choices and free will to choose anything I want and whatever I choose, my reality will be based on that. In other words, if I end up being in, say, "Hell", it will be because of the path I chose - the path of darkness - not because God was too keen on punishing me. So as I see it, it is all up to me and not up to God. For all I know, God is only capable of unconditional love and it is made of all archetype values that I often speak of. It is not made of judgement or punishment. It does not care which path you choose to believe in it as long as you are a good person and you do good deeds. And even if you don't do good deeds, it won't punish you, you will punish yourself. It is the system and the rules that are in place just like the physical laws of the Universe but at the same time, it has the power to override anything since it is the creator. What you believe in is crucial of course since that will be your reality once you move on from this physical life. If you believe in nothing then once you pass on, you will be thrown into nothing, in complete darkness, but with the sense of knowing that you still exist or that your consciousness still exists even when you do not exist in physical form. That will be your reality as you have created for yourself when you were in physical form.
Anyway, I like both religions and science but they both have their dogmas and paradoxes and tend to be highly polarized. I am strictly spiritual and Quantum Physics is the only science I believe in because it's dogma free. I love Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, Moses all these historical figures and spiritual beings but I don't believe in the books. They've been all manipulated by the followers to create fear and false faith in people. At the fundamental level, it is all the same - they all talk about this creator called God and all being One and equal, that's all I can subscribe to. I don't believe in rituals but I believe in prayers and mediation because that's the way to connect to each other.
I do believe that in the near future - perhaps a couple of hundred years from now (or even less), both religion and Newtonian science will cease to exist and people will be mostly spiritual and will be far closer to the truth. It is bound to happen now that we are more and more paying attention to our experiences.
I was raised in the Catholic faith which lacked answers for me, so I converted, but it wasn’t a conversion that I chose, instead it was a gentle pushing and prodding that led me to a non-denominational faith of which I had no prior knowledge of.
I do not serve a judgmental God, although he is often erroneously attributed with that trait. God does not deny us freewill. He created satan which shows the depth of his leniency. We are all free to make our own choices and God does not tell us how to live our lives, he simply shows us those things which will make our path easier, but the choice is still ours. He understands that we are imperfect and cannot fulfill the law, but he loves us regardless of our frailties.
We should all be comfortable with the spiritual path that we have chosen and I am ecstatic over mine. I am grateful every day that he has chosen me to be a joint heir in his kingdom. I have tested his Word in my life and it is has been as he has said every step of the way.
I feel sorry for anyone who enters into any religion as a result of fear, because God denounces fear all throughout the bible. I'm grateful because I realize that God doesn’t need me. It’s me who needs God. I follow him because I love him and because he first loved a sinner like me. I'll be eternally grateful for that.
I'm also happy for you and glad that you have a strong faith that you're comfortable with as it is the most important decision that we’ll ever make.

it was never really my cup of tea after all that I have seen at MTF. tennis warehouse is a lot like MTF these days. constant insulting, attacking, and harassment, and never ending bickering. who has patience for that crap.
I was very close to leaving anyway. I prefer the peace and the quiet and the serenity at Camelot.
anyway they don't have a PM system at tennis warehouse and besides, the Camelot elite tennis society name is slowly making its rounds around the net.
we are well on track to where we are going.
I am exactly where I need to be. I need to help build this place.
I am tired of building up everyone else.
this is home now.
TW doesn't have PM, but you can email members if they have that as part of their profile. You just click on their name and send email to user.

What I believe in is reincarnation. People are born again and again to pay off their karmic debts. It's a long story but it seems to be the most outstanding explanation out there, especially if you read about all the near death experiences. I am reading a book right now based on true experiences and it's called Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton. Very eye opening so far.
Mozart, for example, was able to compose at age 5 and yet none of his parents, gran-parents were musicians. Nor was he exposed to that kind of musical environment at an very early age, so he clearly knew a lot of the stuff already when he was born. Einstein had no renown physicist in his entire generation and yet, he took the world by storm in the science world. There are countless numbers of examples out there that show that there might just be something out there we are overlooking.
A lot of people are actually discovering a lot of stuff through hypnosis lately. A person I know was extremely afraid of the water and she had found out recently that she was drowned in her previous life and that fear stayed with her in this life as well. Of course her fear went away once explored. There's an incredible book out there called Many Lives Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss. And of course there's that very famous book called Life After Life by Dr. Raymond Moody that changed the history of human race in a very interesting way. All worth reading if one is really interested to find out the truth.
So what I am saying is that, the life we have is the life we chose deliberately when we were in between lives but since we have free-will, we often lose track of things once born. Because it's so easy to forget once you enter this life, where you are conditioned to forget all your past lives as otherwise you wouldn't learn your lessons if known. It's a very hard concept to digest of course, especially if you tell someone who's born with a condition that he or she chose it deliberately to experience it in this life. But through constant struggle and suffering he'll learn the valuable lessons. I suppose he wasn't learning it otherwise when he had a choice but now he has left himself no other choice but to learn it.
But of course people believe in different things but I tend to look at what's going on in our life and what life in general tells us. That's why all our experiences are quite valuable because they are always telling us something.

I was wondering if there's a way to avoid all this because it seems like if she can do it once she'll probably do it again. One of my best friends sister is quite sick too. I am amazed how different they are in characters even when they were exposed to similar environments growing up, and yet I find her so rude, mean and extremely selfish. And her sister, my friend, is quite the opposite.
It's almost never the gene (which mostly makes the protein btw) and it's almost never the environment, but something far beyond - something that is still not within our knowledge. You just have to wonder why some people haven't evolved as much as others and as the bigger questions. But I am also aware of people who looked and acted perfectly normal and yet, they were found as the worst killers in human history. They simply acted to have the archetype values like love, truth, justice, empathy, beauty, innocence etc. but in truth, they had none of these qualities. What they had instead was absolutely and utterly quite the opposite. These are even bigger mysteries out there.
For example, I was watching a documentary on Dennis Rader, otherwise known as the BTK killer (bound, torture and kill, he used this as his signature), and I found out as usual growing up he used to torture animals before killing them (this had led me to ask question to children, 'do you love animals' because I believe it's fundamental in identifying a disturbing character and take necessary actions from early on if possible). And he continued to do that once he grew up but this time, he went one step further and made human beings his main target.
Now if you read his bio on wiki, you will see this, "Rader was a member of Christ Lutheran Church and had been elected president of the Congregation Council. He was also a Cub Scout leader. On July 26, 2005, after Rader's arrest, Sedgwick County District Judge Eric Yost waived the usual 60-day waiting period and granted an immediate divorce for his wife, agreeing that her mental health was in danger. Rader did not contest the divorce, and the 34-year marriage was ended. Paula Rader said in her divorce petition that her mental and physical condition has been adversely affected by the marriage."
What I found amusing is that, despite killing at least 10 people he had a 34 year long marriage and his wife only mentioned how much she was affected by the marriage after Rader got caught. Surely she should have noticed some of the disturbing behaviour much before? Perhaps she was in denial.
But anyway, what really amuses me is that, there are some people like Rader among us (perhaps not all are so extreme but disturbing enough to cause endless trouble) and we do notice them but unfortunately not to the point it should be noted. Even online you will come off repeated offenders otherwise known as posters, but there's something very disturbing about them if you pay attention.
Interesting post, Emma, full of good things.
This is the way that I see it. In reading the bible it talks about generational curses. Curses that are passed down through the genes. The bible says that the sins of the father will be visited upon the third or fourth generation, until someone breaks the curse. This is why things tend to recur over and over in families.
As I have been contemplating my sister's actions it occurred to me that she is just like my aunt. My aunt hated my mother and took every opportunity she could to put her down. Even after my mother's death she would bad talk her. It was crazy. They were polar opposites. My aunt was short, fat, and dark-skinned. My mother was tall, thin and shapely, and fair of skin. Mind you neither had any control over their physical attributes, but my aunt didn't see it like that. She magnified every "sin" of my mother's to epic proportions and she died with that hatred inside of her.
My sister is the same way. There is nothing I can do to be in her good graces, and I have accepted that. However, she takes things to a more destructive level and when asked her only response to why she acts as she does has been because I read a lot growing up, and my older sister styled my hair in cute hairstyles while she had to wear braids.
I called the bank to stop DirecTv, but that ordeal is over, finally. So, I will closely monitor my accounts and if I see suspicious activity I will go through the necessary procedures of changing all of my accounts to stop her from wreaking havoc and bringing me to financial ruin.
The sad thing is that if it in within power, she would do it.
But, I am not concerned with her or her actions because in all of our exchanges I have always triumphed over her evil. And all of the evil that she has visited upon me, has seen me rising above it and coming out better in the end.
That's what God has done for me. He has revealed all of her actions and blessed me beyond belief. It kills her that she cannot bring me down.
And I will continue to pray for her that she can leave the miserable existence that she has chosen to wallow in.

Then, it will be the best time, but not a moment before.
You are needed where you are, that's why you're there.
Good luck.
Thanks TT. I don't feel of course that I am here only by chance and the road or the journey that I am on, is mere by chance or a series of coincidences. I do believe we create our own reality through thoughts and the choices that we make are fundamental for our growth. These choices or decisions are made unconsciously but then again, the unconscious level is our true reality and our higher self reside there, so the instructions come directly from there. All the 'bad choices' that we'd made in the past, were those really bad choices? I truly don't believe so. That's why, like you, I can't afford to regret. It made me who I am today after all.

I was wondering if there's a way to avoid all this because it seems like if she can do it once she'll probably do it again. One of my best friends sister is quite sick too. I am amazed how different they are in characters even when they were exposed to similar environments growing up, and yet I find her so rude, mean and extremely selfish. And her sister, my friend, is quite the opposite.
It's almost never the gene (which mostly makes the protein btw) and it's almost never the environment, but something far beyond - something that is still not within our knowledge. You just have to wonder why some people haven't evolved as much as others and as the bigger questions. But I am also aware of people who looked and acted perfectly normal and yet, they were found as the worst killers in human history. They simply acted to have the archetype values like love, truth, justice, empathy, beauty, innocence etc. but in truth, they had none of these qualities. What they had instead was absolutely and utterly quite the opposite. These are even bigger mysteries out there.
For example, I was watching a documentary on Dennis Rader, otherwise known as the BTK killer (bound, torture and kill, he used this as his signature), and I found out as usual growing up he used to torture animals before killing them (this had led me to ask question to children, 'do you love animals' because I believe it's fundamental in identifying a disturbing character and take necessary actions from early on if possible). And he continued to do that once he grew up but this time, he went one step further and made human beings his main target.
Now if you read his bio on wiki, you will see this, "Rader was a member of Christ Lutheran Church and had been elected president of the Congregation Council. He was also a Cub Scout leader. On July 26, 2005, after Rader's arrest, Sedgwick County District Judge Eric Yost waived the usual 60-day waiting period and granted an immediate divorce for his wife, agreeing that her mental health was in danger. Rader did not contest the divorce, and the 34-year marriage was ended. Paula Rader said in her divorce petition that her mental and physical condition has been adversely affected by the marriage."
What I found amusing is that, despite killing at least 10 people he had a 34 year long marriage and his wife only mentioned how much she was affected by the marriage after Rader got caught. Surely she should have noticed some of the disturbing behaviour much before? Perhaps she was in denial.
But anyway, what really amuses me is that, there are some people like Rader among us (perhaps not all are so extreme but disturbing enough to cause endless trouble) and we do notice them but unfortunately not to the point it should be noted. Even online you will come off repeated offenders otherwise known as posters, but there's something very disturbing about them if you pay attention.

Update:
I found out that she had done what I suspected. It took me about six calls and the runaround, but I finally got through to them that it was fraud. I guess they didn't want to be involved so they cleared my account up, sent me a refund for the overcharging, and zeroed out my account.
Then, I had to deal with her by letting her know that I was onto her. She's funny, she swore to God that she didn't do it, but at the same time said she would call to straighten it out. Which she did, because the next day her name was off of my account.
Unreal.

This is not something I want to get it out of my system in the same sense but sometimes I wish though that I was in some kind of Service oriented job - like a social worker or even a nurse (not a doctor) where I am directly in contact with someone who needs help. But all I do is help my company make more money. Though I am very grateful for my job and I do love it, and my sincerity is never in question, but it still doesn't give me that satisfaction when I help someone directly.
But what is great about our company is that, it does allow people to pursue their dreams in some way. For example, I just finished our Holiday Hamper with the help of a few others. We adopted a family of 5 (mother and 4 young children) and we held a couple of events to raise enough money to buy them almost everything on their wishlist. At first, we had to go with the most basic needs first but then Ryan (the 8 year old) wanted an electronic Reader and I just couldn't find enough money to buy one, but in the end luck opened up and I was able to buy one for him, so that made me very happy. Otherwise I was going to buy one for him. I did contribute some money and some CDs, DVDs etc.
Also, I held another charity project called "Coin Wars" in the middle of this year and we were able to raise more money than we'd expected. All went to United Way. I do this all in my spare time albeit through work and some other charity work so I am at least grateful that I can contribute to humanity in a small way though I'd like to do much, much more to be honest. Maybe my life will take a turning point at some point who knows really.
Your story exactly mirrors mine. I had a decent job, making good money, but I felt so unfulfilled. Like you, I wanted to felt that my presence was making a difference. I was used to working with deadlines and high pressure positions and in my last job at the company I could do my work in less than two hours.
My boss didn't come in until the afternoon and most of the day was spent twiddling my thumbs. I had to go. I stayed at home for a couple of years pursuing some creative things I had wanted to do all my life.
When I went back to work I worked in the Public School system. I loved it, although the money was a fraction of my previous salary.
Now, I am going back to school and when I re-enter the work force it will be for something to do with children, in an educational way, but not as a teacher.
I am completely on my own so I have to make a decent living. I can choose to live a very simple life of course but that time I don't think has come yet. If I had a choice, I would have spent half my time researching and studying stuff I am truly passionate about and the other half I would have spent with people who need help.
Working with children would be so nice. I love children. It's just that growing up I never knew what I'd really wanted. I am glad though that you are on the right track. I work in a very big corporate world and sometimes, I feel a bit tired especially, you know, when you have a bad day and you feel you need someone to talk to, but then there's nobody there. But then the next day, you forget about that too.
We live in a very pretentious world. People are just so into fake stuff always trying to be somebody they are not. It turns me completely off. Anyway...I am sure I am here for a reason.
It took many years to get here, but I don't regret the journey.
Now, I have little, but I have peace.
You are where you are, because that's where you're supposed to be.
Timing is everything,
And your time is yet to come.
Then, it will be the best time, but not a moment before.
You are needed where you are, that's why you're there.
Good luck.

I am sure. She is a really sick puppy. She has been in competition with me since birth and she does anything she can to make my life miserable.
It's sad, because I don't do anything but try to help her.
She did it, but unbeknownst to her I got rid of DirecTv a few weeks ago. Two days later I received a charge on my account, and I called them to see why they were charging me for a cancelled service. They couldn't explain it sufficiently, but I'm thinking that she impersonated me and pretended that I was her power of attorney and had service turned on in her new apartment.
Unreal. That chick is beyond evil.
I can believe that. Some human beings are just capable of doing anything. I've seen so many true crime stories and some of the crimes were just beyond evil. These people just haven't evolved much. They like being dark, selfish and remorseless. She probably doesn't even know what love is therefore, relationships have no meaning to her. Unfortunate but what can you do. Every one is just on their own journey and will have to learn the lessons their own way. Some just tend to choose the hardest way possible. Being negative is probably the longest and toughest road to become a superior person but I suppose they'll get there some day.

Why is my disabled sister who has been in a nursing home for five years giving out my address for DirecTv services?
She rented this house 5 years ago, when I lived at my other place. She also gives creditors my number although we have never shared a home since we lived at home as teenagers.
This chick is really sick. She'll do anything to get under my skin.
Oh that's too bad. Why is she doing that though? It would tick me totally off if anyone were to give out my information without my consent. Are you sure though it's her and they are not getting this information from some place else? You know with the FB, Twitter etc. personal information is no longer personal. Plus, it's very easy to get anybody's address, phone numbers etc. these days especially for these companies. They have their own agendas and they are very good at it.
I am sure. She is a really sick puppy. She has been in competition with me since birth and she does anything she can to make my life miserable.

I don't think I will last more than a few days at TW or MTF. That's why I don't want to sign up. Even my argument at TF didn't go very well even though that's a much better place but still, no place is free from fanatics no matter how ideal they sound. I struggled at Murray's World too and thank God I am out of it. Most people though are very good but some people can make it very difficult and the nature of any conversation can quickly go from bad to worse especially on match threads. Then there are some people who make things very personal. I was a member of Samprasfanz all my life and never come across anything so hostile before. Makes sense when you realize that, Murray's World is heavily nation oriented as at least 90% of its members are Brits, whereas at least 50% of Samprasfanz' members were from all around the world. So they would be more respectful towards each other rather than cynical and personal and be always on the verge of attacking mode. So everything that happened since then (1st week of July), now that I look back, I can see that they happened for a reason. Every single thing.
affirmative. everything happens for a reason and we are all stronger because of all of our accumulated experiences.
now at least we can do it our way. we can shape our own destiny at Camelot and have a blast doing it.
this is going to be one hell of a place in about 3 years.
all that is needed is a strong positive belief, a clear and a cool head, and the wisdom to do the right thing.
rest will take care of itself.

affirmative.
I do believe that we are finished with places like MTF and tennis warehouse.
larger forums just don't do it for me.
I wanted a place that was a little different from a forum and I believe we are working on just that here.
yes its a forum but it will be more like a small society of professionals here when all is said and done.
and indeed very much like a small family that is forever free of any stress, anxiety, and endless confrontations that we have seen elsewhere.
it is our view of Camelot.
there is enough stress and anxiety all around us. Camelot should offer a small break from all that.
-
it was never really my cup of tea after all that I have seen at MTF.
I was very close to leaving anyway. I prefer the peace and the quiet and the serenity at Camelot.
anyway they don't have a PM system at tennis warehouse and besides, the Camelot elite tennis society name is slowly making its rounds around the net.
we are well on track to where we are going.
I am exactly where I need to be. I need to help build this place.
I am tired of building up everyone else.
this is home now.
Yes, this is home and I am glad we have both found a home.
As I've mentioned before, I sometimes read TW and a lot of the times I want to sign up and say, "remember when we were young and stupid?" lol. I don't think half of them are over the age of 20.
-
it was never really my cup of tea after all that I have seen at MTF. tennis warehouse is a lot like MTF these days. constant insulting, attacking, and harassment, and never ending bickering. who has patience for that crap.

Why did you get banned, herc? Surely there are rules and one must break those in order to get banned? lol though.
they gave me a final warning. they said I need to stop promoting Camelot.
well the ban is over in a few days but I will never go back there.
it is not really my cup of tea anyway.
there is too much noise there and way too much bickering.
I think I have had enough of tennis warehouse. enough goofing off there already.
that flea infested place does not really deserve anybody as kind and thoughtful as me anyway.
I have done way too much for them already.
Maybe we shouldn't advertize our forum there so openly and perhaps interact more on a personal level? Perhaps via PM?
I believe you will go back though once they lift the ban.

The problem occurs when people are constantly trying to assign superiority to their particular player.
Who cares who's the best player? You enjoy some players more than others.
It's like some of those people think that somehow they're successful by siding with a successful person.
It's really sickening and childish.
I'm glad we can discuss issues like adults here.
it is all about these Federer camps vs nadal camps at 2 of the biggest boards: MTF and tennis warehouse.
each camp has an agenda obviously.
what irritates me is that sometimes the mods and admin get involved as I have seen so often at MTF. they are more biased than the posters at times.
for some insane reason they have to have somebody they can call the greatest of all time when it is so clear that there is no way in hell to compare across distant eras in an objective way.
from my own observations, Nadal gets trashed and ridiculed the most.
press and media even made remarks about this very fact once when they visited/checked MTF. I hear now things are even worse there.
people, on the average, tend to be fairly respectful about Federer as they should. he is the man with 17 majors and 5 years at the top of the game.
he has done a lot for the sport. he raised the bar and changed the game. his numbers speak for themselves.
Yep.
The big tennis boards have an agenda for sure.
The confrontations are ridiculous.
The whole purpose is to get rid of the Nadal fans.
But, it helps with your ability to communicate and deal with contentious people.

I don't miss tennis warehouse a bit. in fact they have done me a favor. I was wasting some my valuable time there.
may ban ends in a few days but I have no intention of going back.
it is way too much bickering and almost endless arguing and confrontations there. trolls have a bloody agenda and so do their mods.
all I wanted to do was add some value, leave an indelible impression, and have some fun. I was really not going to stay there much longer anyway.
-
Most boards wouldn't allow you to promote another board, so it's not too left of field. TW was a good board a few years ago but it's MTF reincarnated these days. The Ex Players section is generally the best part of it.

I think I am starting to get sick and tired of tennis warehouse.
they cant stand the fact that I try to promote Camelot there. they banned me for 2 weeks and gave me a final warning.
they told me to stop promoting Camelot.
I told them that I was doing my friends there a service since they have this crazy obsession with banning people for nothing. they keep banning people for nothing so those people need a place when they get banned. what is wrong with that.
why the hell is tdk banned for so long? he was never mean spirited. all he did was talk about nadal. he was not really hurting or attacking anybody.
those worthless moron mods who are drunk with their little authority are going way the hell overboard.
they got those children like Chico terrorizing the whole board there day and night with their sorry garbage and they don't ban them.
and of course I am going to promote Camelot everywhere I go. that is my job.
you don't get anywhere in this world unless you keep trying hard all the time.
Well now, CD. Be fair. It is solicitation and most companies, organizations, etc. don't allow that.
Be careful what you write, there are always turncoats. Modify your post and don't use names.
What you have here is so cool. Don't worry about others, Camelot will grow on it's own.
affirmative. I will tone it down.
its just that I have always believed that in order to get somewhere, we have to go to bat everyday and keep trying until we succeed.
in a way I was honest: they really do have this massive infatuation with banning.
so I offered some of them a home.
I would not mind such an offer myself.
at any rate, I will probably never go back there again. that place is really not my cup of tea.
I was just there trying to add a little value and do something unique which I did: I created that huge "creative sports images" place which has nearly 2000 posts and around 33,000 views.
that is the only thread there where there is no fighting and arguing going on.
no worries. its their loss as I wont go back there again.
I am really enjoying this peace and quiet here more at Camelot. it is relaxing and we can post anywhere or create any number of threads.
here we control our own destiny.
and we are always ultra relaxed. that is the best part.

I told them that I was doing my friends there a service since they have this crazy obsession with banning people for nothing. they keep banning people for nothing so those people need a place when they get banned. what is wrong with that.
why the hell is tdk banned for so long? he was never mean spirited. all he did was talk about nadal. he was not really hurting or attacking anybody.
those worthless moron mods who are drunk with their little authority are going way the hell overboard.
they got those children like Chico terrorizing the whole board there day and night with their sorry garbage and they don't ban them.
and of course I am going to promote Camelot everywhere I go. that is my job.
you don't get anywhere in this world unless you keep trying hard all the time.

Ha ha ha.
That is too funny.
But, you're right about movies and music, they do tend to transport you.
Bawl your eyes out.
You'll feel better, I'm sure. :)

Think I am going to have my period tomorrow.
IRRITATED on everyone, depressed and tired.
Time ti watch a drama movie to get some tears and pressure out of me.
Music and movies heal me.

I'm hoping that's it. I don't have a lot of patience for ignorance, and I detest people thinking that I don't know what's going on.
I always know what's going on, whether I decide to address it is another matter.
Anyway, it was important that I dispel the perception that he had of me.
Now he knows that I will not be intimidated by him and I don't play pretend either.
I'm fine now. I needed to get my anger out and he presented me with the opportunity.
I can move on now.

Yes, they might have taken your friendliness for granted. Maybe you can teach them a lesson now that the time has come.

Oh Emma,
You are so awesome. This is exactly what I had in mind. We can vent and other posters can offer comfort and point us in the right direction.
I am so angry, but I am also passive-aggressive. I'm sure he would say something to tick me off and my aggressive side would come out.
Right now I have to find a place wherever I can and with the weather getting cold so is my anger.
I don't have the patience to talk to people like this, because they usually lie and that infuriates me.
I have someone coming Friday to look at my garage door and then I will get it fixed. As to my neighbor, he's toast.
Such a smarmy character whose essence I picked up on from the very start.
So, I ignore him, especially with winter coming. We probably won't cross paths too often.
Of course if they were good people then they would have been considerate but clearly they are not at that stage yet. Perhaps fixing the garage is your only choice left. And it's probably a good idea too.
And if you don't like confronting people who tend to cheat and lie, then it's best not to reason with them because it will be fruitless. But you can always set an example right here. Didn't Jesus say 'love your neighbor'? Very nice actually and was probably meant with no condition but perhaps only a few people can take themselves to that level. It frustrates me a great deal as well when people are so transparent but unfortunately not all are equally evolved.
Hope the parking situation gets resolved as soon as possible. It can be brutal in winter! My parking is underground and I have a designated place for it, so reading yours just made me realize that perhaps condo life is not so bad after all.
Yes, the bible does say love your neighbor, but it also says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:...A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
This is a time for war, because he has mistaken my demeanor as one of weakness. He thinks that because I smile and say hi, and am respectful that he can run over me, and that's simply not the case. I knew in my spirit that this moment would come, and the necessary words and actions accompanied me.

absolutely brilliant thread.
this thread is going to rock in about a year when we are around 200 strong.
I get irritated with the way people drive. they are careless and inattentive. and now days they all have the texting disease.
so they text as they drive.

This is such a cool thread, TT and herc. I need to rant and rave too and get it out of the system! My rant will probably mostly be about work and sometimes, ahem, other forums or maybe posters? Or maybe I will leave them out of it. Only post when I won't be able to help myself at all. And I will have then you guys comfort me and vice versa.
TT, I read what happened with your neighbor. Very sneaky of them no doubt but you must be the bigger person here. In the meantime though, what's happening to your parking? Where are you parking these days? This sounds really frustrating. I really feel you need to speak to them in person and come to a solution. If you approach it nicely and show your frustration modestly, chances are, they might see the true side of it and feel for you. It's worth a try.

I like the idea behind this thread.
it will give us a chance to share our various stories and even vent a little bit.

We all have times when we get terribly irritated by the actions of others, and "consider the source" just doesn't cut it. Sometimes you need to get the petty stuff out of your system. Vent, and then release and let it go.
I wanted this board so that we could do just that. This is a place to air our grievances against those that make our blood boil.
But, it is not a place to lash out at other posters, because that is getting too personal.
No, this is where you can share your feelings about the jerk that cut you off in traffic. The co-worker who lied on you (no names), or the neighbor who's trying to get all up in your grill.
As a matter of fact, speaking of neighbors. This guy was the inspiration that made me ask for this Rant & Rave section, so I'll start.
My neighbor is on disability. According to him he hit a brick wall going over 70 miles an hour and broke most of the bones in his body. Strangely, his back, knees, and leg problems does not prohibit him from painting the exterior of houses, cutting down trees, and being general handy man.
Anyway, he and his wife have shared one car for the last four years that I have lived here. He had a handicap pole in front of his house for his disability and because he is the only one on the street without a garage.
Several weeks ago, they bought a new car. He came over and asked me if I would mind pulling up a bit so that all three of our cars could fit in the space in front of his house. I said, "no problem."
What I didn't know was that he was planning to get another pole!
Once the 2nd pole was put in, him and wifey began parking all crazy so that I couldn't get a spot on the street! Mind you, we live on a one way street and parking is scarce.
Every time I left my spot, (where I had been parking for the last 4 years), they would be peeking out of the window to see when I was leaving. Then they would make a mad dash out of the door and park their cars in a way that I was left without a spot.
Can you believe that? What possesses people to have so little etiquette and manners these days. I just don't get it.
End of rant.
