I know this thread may be controversial but I can't take it anymore...I have to get this off my chest.
I've been contemplating writing this for some time now.  
Many months, actually.

Andy, you haven't responded to a single thread I've written in months!
And I've been watching you closely...waiting patiently...
You avoid me and anything I write like the plague...deliberately.
Ever since I decided to make my own forum when this one went down one time, you had a hissy fit.
You don't take me seriously and you think I'm a joke.

C'mon dude!

I know that you think you're all that when it comes to the English language because you work in the media as a writer but SERIOUSLY!

You're WAY to high up on your horse!

Climb down off your pedestal you've made for yourself.
And don't hate me.
Whether you like it or not, I'm here.

Why hate me?
Isn't it much better to be allies than enemies?
I'd much rather be your friend.

Friends?

Ash, calm down. It could be nothing. Maybe Andy completely forgot about that incident. There are a lot of people on this board, and not everyone responds to everyone else's posts. It will be OK.

Well, this is a surprise, and more than a little embarrassing. I've never been attacked for minding my own business before.

I don't hate you, Ash. I can honestly say a lot of threads have slipped right by that I would otherwise have posted to. I'm just very busy and for the most part, have only been posting to threads to which I can really add something. And if one has already drawn a lot of responses before I get to it, I sometimes don't take the time to catch up. I'm not visiting as frequently or for as long as I used to, so I'm picking and choosing more.

I won't lie to you Ash, I do sometimes find you a bit overbearing, and I do think you worry too much about being popular on the board (an example is your concern over what I think of you). But even so, I'm more inclined to go quietly about my business, and maybe that sometimes means giving you (and not necessarily you exclusively) a wide berth, but that's just personalities and nothing more. I really have not made any conscious effort to avoid your posts as some sort of punishment to you for a past disagreement. It would never have occurred to me that you would care one way or the other, or even notice, and I don't do that kind of passive-aggressive crap anyway. Trust me, if something is worth arguing about, I'll argue openly.

As for our past disagreement, when you started up your own board while this one was out of order, I felt it was premature, and perhaps a bit opportunistic. It raised concerns for me, which I think were legitimate. I wouldn't call that a 'hissy fit,' but it's all really moot at this point, and there's nothing to be gained by dwelling on it. Although, I did wonder if you would hold a grudge against me for speaking up at the time. In retrospect, I might have been better off not saying anything, since no harm was done in the end. But how do you know at the time?

So anyway, do I hate you? No. Do I like you? Not especially, but who cares? I certainly have no ill will toward you. Have I given it much thought before now? No. Would I respond to one of your posts if it caught my interest? Sure, why not?

So, can we just peacefully coexist?

Not sure, but think I'm feeling lots of love here.

Dang. Talk about a memory lapse.

I saw the title of this topic and thought ' What did I do now?'

Then I realized it wasn't me who wrote this.


It did make me realize one other thing though.

You know what's missing from this board?

An AndyC tribute!

The maker of valium died, Ash, but valium lives on.

Tom Leykis would call you an attention whore for this thread, tho.  Particularly if you were female.  (This should have been an email to Andy, not a thread.)

Don't worry Ash, I have plenty of hate to go around...

It's cool.
I wrote this thread when I was dead tired and in a rotten mood.
(and no, I wasn't drinking and on a drunken rant)
I used the search function to look up the old thread where you bashed me for creating that new board.  When I read it again, my rotten mood got even worse.
(I don't know why I looked it up, I just did)

And I agree that I should've wrote an e-mail instead rather than putting my grudge on display for everyone to read.

I'm not so much into being popular on the board nowadays...at least not as much as I used to be.
Many of you will notice that I haven't really posted anything worthwile in over a month.  Yes, I kind of went crazy with off the wall threads when I first came back here a couple months ago but that was because I hadn't had internet access in over a year.
Those days of me trying to steal the show are pretty much behind me now...as I've mellowed a bit.

So, I apologize.
I also appreciate you responding in a civilized manner...I figured you'd rip me a new one when you read my initial post.  Thank you for that.

Yes, we can co-exist peacefully and I no longer hold that grudge.
ASH

And thanks to you for responding in a civilized manner.

Let's consider the matter closed.

Welcome back, Menard. It's good to see you back posting, after your recent troubles.


Menard

I think most would call it 'back harassing'. (:

I have mostly been having time constraints, mostly self imposed, as I have been busy with my web pages. I will be absent off and on as I get this house cleaned out and ready to sell.

My services are needed here though. Somebody needs to abuse them. (:

Thank you for the kind words.
