Ok i wanna know whats going on and make my 2 cents herd.. I just spent almost an hour responding to at least 17 emails from members here telling me they loved my posts, i am such a great person and so on.. But on the same foot, several blamed others for "picking on each other" or having beef with things like the war, politics and what not and one or the others said opinion on the said subject..Also two voiced that they where the ones being bashed here and felt they needed to leave and it was not me being bashed..

#1-I know that I am not being "slammed" for my posts.. I do note that i posted way to much in december and need to sit back and let you all have you're fun.. I felt that whomever addressed this to me in the New Years Resolution post did this correctly.

#2- I, Charles Ezra Miller, Refuse to take part in any futher discussions or threads related to: Politics, Goverment, The War in Iraq and any other subject matter related to this. I also will not respond or post to any thread in which religion is contained unless it is wishing another club member well in his/her journey with tough medical times or death or any other hard time.. I will responed however via email and will read said threads if i wish to...

#3- However, I do wish that those subjects mentioned above NOT be posted to this site.. People this is a site about Vintage applainces... The great cooking tips, recipes and such are great.. The off coulour humor is awesome and even our relationship trials and tribulations are fine... Even when we are depressed or lonly or if something very tramatic happens we should be able to put up a thread...But to put up stuff (yes i will admit i have done this) every second is a little much

It seems to me though that threads containg subject matter such as Iraq and Politcs will tear this very club apart...

Now i am a very understanding careing person and i love emails from you guys, so email me away.. However, i am going to take one part of the stance that certin sectors of this club do and not participate or create anything that will creat bad feelings.. I do wish that if you had a beef with me you would email me and not bash people like others have been noted for doing in said posts..

OK... I am off my soap box... I love the emails, but when i looked in my inbox and saw all of them, and after responding with basicly the same thing, i felt this was in order...

Side note:

Any topics also containg anything bashing or maiming Gays or Lesibans or deaming one race or another should also be included in the above!
 
Chad, with all due respect: According to your profile, you have only been a member since 12/24/2006. The recent "controversial" topics are nothing compared to some others I could cite, yet we are still here, LOL.

I think the way we have dealt with controversy in the past is fine - and I say that as someone who got his panties in a bunch and left for a while.

Believe it or not, I've learned a lot from some of the opinions expressed here that are contrary to my beliefs - and I've learned to more intelligently defend my opinions, and even questions them on occassion.

Personally, I think it's a great thing that we can talk about all sorts of topics here. If you don't like the topic of a posting, you can always not click on it.

The only reason I can think of for limiting topics in the super forum is because of bandwidth issues.
 
Thanks.. I have been on here a little before that, because of some kind of computer hiccup, my prior screen name is exploder321...

Eitherway it goes, quite a few people still felt the need to email me (?) with above issues.. Ok...
 
We are all a bunch of "alley cats". We all have some common ground and occasionally we scrap with each other. Obviously we all have very different, and some strong opinions on things. After all, we are products of our environment.

There are always going to be folks you just can't stand, no matter what. And remember---there are some really EVIL people out there, so if you give your web-address out, don't be surprised if you get some nasty e-mail!

Sometimes the folks you couldn't stand before, become your friends in the future.
Time changes everything.
Move on.

Personally, I try to stay off of "Super" altogether.

(Just my two-shekels)
 
The mark of a mature man (or woman) is the ability to handle controversy in a calm, tacit manner, without getting one's panties in a bunch (I love that expression, btw!!) and being able to present an alternative or opposing view without resorting to malice. Most of these fine people on this site do a good job at just that. Many problems appear to be related to the interpretation of some of those posts, when said panties become bunched because of a simple misunderstanding of what has been written. And the mushroom effect begins....... I don't believe that we have any truly mean people hovering about here. We do have lots of funny people, some characters, and some highly skilled laundry technicians, whose postings I've come to enjoy a great deal, regardless of topic. I liken this site to reading the morning paper. As a matter of fact, I read this first.

The topic doesn't matter, the actions of the people do. And I'll say it again....nothing anyone will say here on these boards is going to have any affect on anybody's life, in any way, shape or form...unless you allow it. They are just words.
 
I agree.

I am a gay man that went to BYU( although, i was not out persay until I left) and I learned something valuble, everyone has something to teach me, and not to get yourself lost in the drama.Belive me, I have had many oposing viewpoints, and myself, can debate very well, however, I am open minded and brand loyal, until I have a reason not to be.As for people here, I am glad for them, everyone, it makes me realize that I am not the only one that bends the ears of family members with this stuff, until that family member tells me they have had enough appliances for one day from me. I have only met a couple of people,not in person,or over the phone, just in posts,; that are kind of' well how did a famous person put it that I heard the other day, 'Pugnatious'.Those people would be mean to their baker, the mail person,maybe even everyone they come in contact with.AS I always see in my life, they only last a season, then they disapear for good. I do not let it get to me.Relax!! Learn something, Don't get your panties in a bunch, enjoy. I love this place!!
 
I under stand all of this and i am sorry i put this up here, but it was quite un nerving to open my email will all kinds of BS about people here in this club and things that have gone on in the past that i know nothing of.. I am laying low right now and once i feel ok to come back i will... But i will be back...

Off on a date with a great guy, so Ta Ta for now..

well i would agree 100% no 1000% percent some are more mature then others but people lets learn to just let people and their opinions be what hey are however i would NEVER because of a diagreement wether it be political or religous get out of hand and start discriminating. I must say i really do enjoy some hot button issues that were discussed and respect those opinions that were put respectfully and truthfully. People lets just get along and keep the peace and "exploder3211" is right i think it might be in everyones best interest to keep discusions here to be what they are intended for vintage appliances and the like and of course sometimes if need be personal support and understanding.
to all peace and blessings ;) Sincerely Randy aka "vintagesearch"

~but it was quite un-nerving to open my email will all kinds of BS about people here in this club and things that have gone on in the past that i know nothing of..

Just keep in mind the agenda of the sender. Do yourself a favor make a mental list of the gossipers and beware of them. If they did it to them they will do it to you.

oh, and do send me any copies of the dirt on me. It makes for good toilet paper. LOL
 
This Group

I think that this is a wonderful and very accepting group of individuals. I have enjoyed reading everyones' threads and have learned so much! I say, live and let live, life is way too short to get upset over what another individual says. The diversity of the individuals here is what makes this site so great and I, for one, appreciate and respect everyone's opinions on everything no matter how I may or may not feel. I can see no reason to prohibit any subject within this group unless it disrespects another person. And....if it does, that person doesn't have to respond!
 
Man's only perfection lies in his imperfection(s).

Imperfections

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung
on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was
perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house,
the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman
bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of
what it had been made to do.

after two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it
spoke to the woman one day by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side
causes the water to leak out all the way back to your house"

The old woman smiled, "Did you noticed that there are
flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"

"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so
I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every
day while we walk back, you water them"

"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate the table"

"Without you being just the way you are, there would not
be this beauty to grace the house"

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks
and flaws we each have that make our lives together so
very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and
look for the good in them.

So to all my crackpot friends, have a great day and
remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path
