It looks like Justin is working over time these days. Sunday, no less. Can't we keep the threads friendly? Save the HOS for the Wangos of the world?
A few thoughts you can ignore:
Don't ask, don't tell... don't care?
If there were truely only one 14 year old on the site then there would be no problems?
I personally enjoy the posts from ALL those involved until they start actively degrading the posts. Why try to make them go south?
Ignore the things that bug you.
Deal with the attacks that don't really hurt you in a reasonable upbeat way.
Attacks that can or do cause harm should be reported to the moderator.
Save your energy for the real villians. I'm sure they are lurking.

Max, the part where i messed up was when I told everyone I was 14, when I first joined I was given equal respect. As soon as the word got out that I was 13. Respect level went down about 500%. Pointless posts or not, to some on here, I am an inferrior being.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

IMHO I think that they are just looking for a little more maturity on your part in the way that you word your posts. I will have to admit ( and please do not take this the wrong way sid) that alot of your posts are just aimless ramblings to some of us, maybe not to you but to some. I think you are an o.k. guy you just need to put some thought into it before you post it and I for one have no problem with you being the age that you are, god knows that I drove my parents crazy at your age with need to crank out as we put it back then.
You know it can be hard at your age to absorb constructive criticism but some of us have alot of experience in life and just want the best for you, so please don't think that we are all just out to get you sid cause we really aren't. Hope you havn't taken any offense to what I have said I just wanted you to know that I gave a crap, I usually stay out of the way and on the sidelines when these things come up but I just thought that I would throw in my 2cw, hope thats o.k.
Keep your chin up man,

Man I agree with ya. I know I post non-sense. But heres how I see it. When I help people out, I get nothing, people will take all their time to f*** around with you about the bad, but when the good is there no one cares. So I see it this way, if I can help people out, and post non-sense at the same time, and get a load of s*** for doing one. Then why not? Scottvamp for instance, he thinks I should be looking at **** and f***ing 500 girls so I can die at 25 of aids...do I want to? No. Why? Because Im smarter than him. I take peoples advice, I just take it different, all the things people have suggested to me, I eventually do. Its not my fault i didnt know to get DTS sound on a DVD Player you had to have a COAX cable. Yet scott takes that little thing and makes it a big deal to show Im an idiot. If you look around this forum, when people have problems I am one of the first people to respond with an answer, or a solution. Sometimes im right, sometimes im half right. Im new at this, been at it a year. Im 14 years old. My attention span is about 0. Im sorry my maturity level does not match up to somes expectations. That I can not help. You all must know how it was to be 14....its insane. I am not mad, and I am taking your advice. Infact, I am leaving the forum (posting). Will post very seldom, if at all.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Let me get on that!
Sid,
I enjoy your posts. The rambling ones I just ignore. I think the real mistake is fighting back on the same terms as everyone else. You need to be the smarter one, you know, the one who never gets drawn into it. I have received my share of snide comments (some from people I now enjoy posting with) where I felt like going off but didn't. Wouldn't have helped anything. Kind of like a large family. If every time one of them p'd you off you eliminated them then eventually you would end up by yourself. The leaving comment doesn't cut it either. You know you want the abuse. (heh heh)
BTW, I checked out your web site and thought it was cool, lol...

ps: Never say "Im leaving"... it does not credit to yourself....and 9 times out of 10....all who say they are gone, comes back. Isn't that right, Danny boy? ----
My pleasure to be the first to actually do it. The only difference is, ill still be here. But will post very little. Thats the difference. Im not totally leaving.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
max,
maybe it's too late or i'm too tired to think, but is your original post being sarcastic as far as things that you think people should probably go by, or just ignore as sarcastic? I'm lost......comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -
Well,
It IS late and I said my statements can be ignored because I only post here, I have no authority whatsoever to tell (or really even to ask) people what to post. Just some random thoughts, nothing more. I was not being sarcastic, just saying I have no authority. The don't ask, don't tell, don't care statement was obviously pointed at you. REALLY, I don't care whatsoever. To each his own lifestyle, whatever each person chooses. I don't think it has anything to do with posting about audio therefore I don't care. I don't think you should have made this point clear nor do I think MX should have jabbed you after you pointed it out. If this were the "My lifestyle-what do you think.com" site then both responses would be reasonable but I don't see why either side is useful to polk speaker enthusiasts. Nothing more, just pointing out the obvious (at least to me). I pesonally like the MX hyjinx but feel he shouldn't put down anyones lifestyle. (not that we should know or care about other members lifestyles anyway). I figure you brought out this particular trait because you saw some comments going south on the subject and thought you should let them know out of consideration. That is fine. MX should not have jabbed you with it either. If it is becoming an issue then it needs to be resolved right away through a moderator, not through a continuous escalaton (spelling) of the problem. I enjoy your comments equally with MX's. One side doesn't impress me more than the other...

(warning.......long post)
Max,
The last time I think that I had mentioned my being **** (before this past week) was in the HOW **** ARE YOU (or something like that) thread several months back here in the Off Topic forum. I personally couldn't care less what people think about it, nor is it up for discussion/mockery as I think that I've pointed out recently. Lately it's been an issue because of the sarcastic allusions to it appearing to be a personal issue with some people. I called them out in the open about it, not because I'm one that has to have everyone know that I'm ****(FAR from it), but to say that it's not acceptable to me to have it brought up in a sarcastic and immature manner, regardless of if the comments are being made online or in person.
It's pretty ridiculous to say that people shouldn't know about others lifestyles when there have been several posts showing naked, or nearly naked women, that are then commented on constantly, or where peoples divorces, or personal lives are brought up and talked about also (none of which bothers me). I'm not so ridiculously in people's faces about being **** that I just bring it up for the sake of bringing it up, but don't expect me to sit idly by and let things slide when comments are made about my sexuality in a sarcastic tone. To put it in other words (and this is gonna sound kinda wrong)......but don't **** about (not saying you are) hearing that I'm **** from time to time, but expect me to just automatically listen to people with regard to divorces, sex with the wife, or looking at the racy pics. It goes both ways......for everyone, ya know? (I hope that made my point more than it came across as my being an ****)
I think that knowing personal stuff about the people here makes them more interesting then to look at them as an anonymous name on a forum whom you'll most likely never meet. It's when those tidbits of information are used inappropriately where I draw the line. This is a much broader topic than a ****/straight arguement that's been made as of late. In another thread, we have people slamming other peoples systems because of something that they ultimately have no business putting down. Tolerance and acceptance isn't something that only applies to one's sexual orientation, but it's amazing how many different ways people need to have those concepts pointed out to them though.......
As a side note, Sid clarified his comments in another thread, and I don't expect it to be an issue with him from this point forward, nor do I expect it to be an issue with anyone else. Thanks to those that have either PM'd me or emailed me with comments about anything I've said, both positive and negative. Y'all take it easy.........comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -

Whats a hyjinx? lol. Brett and I have resolved this, it just wasnt in the thread it happened. In fact, the whole issue is in 3 threads.......1, where it started. 2, where it was explained. 3, where we laid down the common ground. Oh well, I agree - I should have never said it. I mainly said it in the first place because of all the s*** brett had been giving me before and I should have never said as its not my place to judge people. However, I did say it, its one of my personality traits (Jumping to say things before I think about them). But this issue is in the past, and will probally be never ressurected(sp) again, hopefully.

I can agree with all that. Maybe even learned something. It just seems that when there is something important enough to argue about that it always goes down hill into name calling contests and snide remarks rather than a discussion. I mean, something is wrong when posts go in the HOS. That is all I'm saying. Sounds like this one is worked out anyway.
Hyjinx is a word from the past. I'm not sure of the exact definition but it usually refers to the day to day adventures of others. Things you could put a after if you were writing about them.

The important thing is to come on here and have some good clean fun.
The rest of us were all 13 y.o. at some point. Do you honestly think we were all super mature beyond our years men? F*** NO! We were 13 y.o. kids out doing stupid **** and being kids.
At 13, how many in here had a nice audio system? Me...it was just a distant dream. To me, my older brothers stereo was the ultimate thing! I look back now and think otherwise. Was I a stupid **** for thinking that? No. It was what I knew at the time.
Remember this:
An ignorant person is someone that doesn't know the right way.
A stupid person knows, but refuses to do it.
You just keep coming in here and posting messages and have fun. Don't let people put you down. If someone makes fun of you for not knowing something, then that makes them the **** for not teaching you!
Be cool and enjoy!
JohnNo excuses!
