Any custom computer builders out there?

You put a lot of time into that post and I must commend you for having (what I think) are some very good parenting skills. And I could see how that would be applied in my case as well. I do not disagree one bit that I have made some pretty bad mistakes on this forum. I also will not disagree that most of them were due to the fact that I not only overstepped the boundaries but that I retaliated as well. I do however think that there are members here that have absolutely no forgiveness and on top of that they will beat you down again and again once you have made a mistake. The fact is that we all make mistakes and we all loose our tempers from time to time. Maybe there are some people who think it is ok to trash talk and belittle people for their own enjoyment. I know that you are not one of those people, and I am certainly not one. Hopefully as I become older and wiser I will not make as many mistakes but until then I am who I am. There are those here who seem to have been holding a grudge, as my first post was spat on immediately. It is my hope that the forum I am part of now will be different. I don't know if it will be better but it is my hope that what happended to me here will not happen there. It is a place for anyone of any age to come and talk about their passion. I will do my best to ensure that it does not become a stomping ground for the cigar smoking veterans to kick around the new guys simply because they make a few mistakes. Life is hard enough as it is without some trash talking jerk sitting behind a computer belittling others for their own pleasure. That's just my opinion.

Actually I had not been to the site in months. I came back to see if there were any new reviews up that looked interesting and I saw the post in this thread asking where I was. So I simply said what I had been doing and left it at that. I do not plan on returning again.

Actually, Ash answered the question for you. You didn't need to reply. Seeya!

The only problem, is you never did apologize for your "errors", you just kept baggin on people. If you would have just said a heartfelt "sorry" you would have gotten a little spanking, and let go to be a member.
When I first started on this board, I made my self to be an asshat, but quickly realized what I had done, and extended my apologies, and moved on.
We don't expect perfection, but we do demand some basic social skills...If you wouldn't do it face to face, you shouldn't do it here either.

Yup. A simple "D'oh .... I goofed, my bad, I'm a dumbass" would have sufficed and things would have become normal for you. Unfortunately for you, denial, in this case, is NOT a river in Egypt.

It's okay though because while the entire lesson hasn't been learned as it should have, i.e., sans apology, you know you screwed up and hopefully it won't be a repeat performance on this mysterious website.

Make sure you invite Scooby and Shaggy ..... they might get lonely in the van.

Ooohh, boy... I had a long answer for this post, but dumped it because I truly don't know if it would satisfy you or help your situation.

Bottom line - wisdom comes from within. It is truly comprehending, understanding and putting understanding into action. We study history for a reason - yet we are doomed to repeat history. Humans do not, through a variety of reasons, comprehend, understand and/or act appropriately. You, too, are doomed to repeat history's mistakes if you think creating a "Shangra La" website will solve the injustices you perceive.

Good luck...
