One of the reasons I avoided this place like the plague was the fact that I am actually not very sensitive to the concerns of other people. At WP, I watched what I said because a young child might read my words. Here, at a site founded on the principle of freedom of speech, I simply typed whatever came to mind, without thinking about who I might offend. And then when I received negative responses, my immaturity and ultrasensitivity to criticism led my to close down the thread and my account. Such an incident was bound to happen sooner or later.
That's why I will not become a regular here. If I remain, it won't be long before I start an equally repulsive topic. Again, I'm very sorry to those I offended.
-
it's ok. i'm just wondering what your reason was for posting that? was it to make people angry, or did you really believe what you said?
-
I was trying to get a laugh or two.
It hurts me when someone reads one of my joke threads and becomes angry.
-
I'm sorry too. I did not read it as a joke when you posted it, but people who knew you said that you probably meant it as dark humor.
-
It is okay Werbert for what You have done for this is Intensity2 and is suppose to have intensity too.

Well, as one of the people who got angry at you, I'll say - don't worry, I wasn't hugely angry and it's really not a big deal. I come here looking for conflict so sometimes I try to pick fights with people. That was the purpose of my comment in your thread. My hope is not to hurt people or to drive them away, but to get them to respond in kind, because I enjoy fighting. I had thought you were trying to provoke people with that thread, not to make them laugh. So, my mistake.
I say go ahead and start some more equally repulsive topics. One of the things about intensity is you don't always have to worry if people are offended by you. It's their problem, not yours.

Methinks Pyraxis is my polar opposite.
I cannot stand debating and arguing. Oh, sure, in the political arena, it's good, but elsewhere I just don't see the point. It's not entertaining, and not fun. Besides, I am no guide at debates because I'm very wishy-washy. I could be ready to fight to the death for a certain point of view, and then I will start debating, and a few minutes into it, I will have converted to the other side.

By the way, I did not find the castration picture offensive at all. I thought it was very funny.
-
i wasn't offended by your topic

I believe you were in my target audience.

Oh. I thought it must have scared you or something. It scared some of the other men here. It was a gelding, not a human, by the way.

What a bunch of pansies. :chicken: :chicken: :chicken:

i will not forgive you until you embrace the idea of free speech, and honesty with yourself.
don't run away from your mistakes like a little girly boy. stand up for yourself and explain yourself.
i personally thought you were trying to be funny, but you didn't stick around to explain yourself.
also, you have to realize that some people might not think it is funny.

I thought you were just being melodramatic.
at any rate, I'd have to second what McJ said. Do'nt back down in the future. Simply explain yourself and let the chips fall where they may.

One thing that you have to keep in mind, is that there's plenty of people here and on PW who like you and will back you up.

Sounds like someone who is scared to death of offending people.

werbert, i don't know how you intend to go through life without making at least one enemy. that's impossible!!
If you make an enemy, that's life!! It's the friends you make that realy count!!

If you make an enemy, that's life!! It's the friends you make that realy count!!
My guess is that you and I have different goals in life.

DID you miss the part where I said that it's impossible to go through life without making at least ONE enemy??
You're trying to do something nobody has ever done. There's no such thing as somebody that EVERYONE likes. :soapbox:

What is your goal in life?

To feed my addictions, and have as much control over my time as I can.

except not really into music, anymore.
i am interested in you sharing some of those 'outside the box' thoughts.

Mine are all safely inside the box.

It's true!

Werbert, I have no problem with you creating repulsive topics. If you are honest about yourself, you will always have a friend in me. I don't care if you are a serial killer, if you are honest with me, I will not be offended by your words. I cant make that guarentee with other people however. But if you are ever curious about how, in an objective sense, fucked up something you posted or want to post was, i might be able to give you a good judgement. And if you ever post something people see as ultra-terrible and you didnt mean it that way exactly, I will try to see the good in it for you, if no one else will.

I found the thread somewhat humorous, myself. Not exceptionally, but atleast enough to make me chuckle.
It scared some of the other men here. It was a gelding, not a human, by the way.
Disgusted, rather, in my case. It happens every time I come across a new kind of in some way exceptionally nasty picture. Kind of like when I was first exposed to the postings of a goatse spammer.
-
When did callaway post a picture of a gelding?
-
Werbert, it's not that big a deal. Yes, lots of people got angry. But they'll get over it.
-

That's what the castration pic was nomaken.

Isn't a gelding a fairy creature from the movie Dark Crystal?

A gelding is an animal that has been castrated.

I wasn't offended but I assumed you were trolling, not joking.

Me too- I just thought you were trying to come up with an Intensity style topic is all and was surprised when you deleted your account because of it.
-
Hi werbert, I think you should be proud of yourself for posting something controversial even by I2 standards! Not many can achieve that.
-
I always assume people have the best intentions first. And I mean always. If a guy walked up and planted an axe in my forehead, just before I died I would think he probably had a good reason, i'd just wonder what it was.

You got a couple from over here :eyebrows:

aw jeez now I'm disappointed! Why not be a REAL woman and post a picture to a REAL castration, goddammnit!!
-
Oh wait a minute, i'm thinking of a gelfling.

Werbert why dont you pull TM1's head out of your a$$. Set that loser free.

Who cares if some people get offended. If you get offended here's the wrong place to be. Some of the people getting their knickers in a twist are the first to say that.
