Chuck,
Hey brother, I totally understand about getting frustrated with other people and their posts. I do it as well. It's not something I'm proud of or anything like that because I also understand how ridiculous it is when I do it. When it's all said and done, it's all just words on an Internet forum. None of it will affect your life or those important to you. What it can do is affect your mood and your general outlook on the day. If you let that happen however, you lose. We had our differences at one point and all it ever took to fix that was just the two of us being ourselves and realizing that we were both acting a bit foolishly and letting stupid shit get in the way of us being just who we really are as men. You're a good dude brother, just be you and the rest of that shit will fix itself or go away. You'll never stop the gay bashing or racial hatred by reacting just the they want you to. I've had to try and learn that the hard way myself. I really hope you don't have to do the same my friend. While I don't have the same history or circumstances with the three posters you mentioned, I will say that I actually like all three of them. Gary, the boys, enjoys stirring the pot but when it comes down to nut cutting, the boys has always gone out of his way too say something nice or uplifting to me by way of Facebook or private message. Kniefl often takes time to personally say hello or check up on my life and it's always heartfelt and appreciated. KOD has been supportive of me as well. He doesn't always take the same side as me but that's his right. I respect the guy. He isn't someone I know on a personal level but he doesn't attack me and I don't attack him. At least we try not to, I think. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that this place is a melting pot of many differing personalities and that's what makes this place, this website, so incredibly awesome. You're an essential part of the madjacksports family and I truly hope that you can rise above your frustrations and continue being a valued member of the family. Seriously my friend, this shit is nothing. You have more than enough character and good will to let it get you upset.
Okay, I'm stepping off the soapbox now. Cheers Chuck.
Your friend always,
Cris
