Removing pics.

I was not aware it did.....Political talk is fine with me as long as it did not get mean...Did it?
I respect where you boyfriend is at in his life...He is a true man doing his chosen duty ..My hats of to him..... O0
-
Thanks, sir. I thought it was only fair to put of me here too!
Well, I didn't see it get political, but was assured that it did.
-
Moving this file was more "preventative maintenance". There was enough being said that, knowing the nature of some of the posters, it was going down a political path.
All the best to you & your boyfriend in the army.
-
It was a fun thread really.
But I realise (as fully as anyone who can who has not served) that it's a tough life, and for very strong people. Politics will always play a part, of course, and not everyone even in the forces will always agree.
His bravery shows though - in the way that he looks now!
-
WOW!!! Huge change, and improvement I say as well.
-
Must take them off now. Thx all.
-
Best of luck to your new military life.
-
Wow, has this thread been sanitized !

John (one of 'those' people)
Your words, not mine :D

This thread hasn't become quite so firey this time!
-
Oh me. I can't believe I actually let myself click on this thread again. I said I wasn't going to but it was like a bad car accident...You just have to look.
-
Geez, what is the deal guys??? What is with this thread that bugs people...
-
This has been a weird one for sure!
-
This has been a weird one for sure!
And started so innocently.

It's all based on the fact it was pulled on account of the political direction it took, and we'll leave it at that. :x!
-
Damn I missed this so called drama!
-

I guess I missed that; I posted early on the first thread so I did not see anything political, only positive comments. That is why I am so bewildered and curious..
But I will take your word that it got out of hand.. O0
-
^^^^ Whoa
-
WTF, McClane ?!?. If you had a problem with me, PM ME! That's the first I've heard of it.
Never thought of anything I said as being snobby.
Sorry if I offended you.

You can put that icon up there all you want ( :x!) and act high and mighty but don't cover up the fact that you think you have to get the last word in every situation and think that you are better than other people, for some reason. :/O Just like in the "Gray Goatee" thread. You jumped Johnmont's sh*t because he spelled a word differently than the way you spell it, or what you are used to. He's from Canada and he was talking to a Brit like he said. Over there they spell it "colour." And please don't give me that "well this is America" crap. I mean don't get me wrong, I love this country but isn't that what America is all about when it really comes down to it. Excepting people for who they are no matter what. Especially for something like the way someone spells something. I mean come on man. Are you really going to make that big of a fuss and get that political over the damn spelling of a word. Leave the guy alone, and the rest of the poor people you nit pick at. Let them have a good time on this great site. That's what it's really all about. Not getting on here to vent your life's frustrations out on innocent people. I've tried to "get along" with you since I joined this site but I've become sick of seeing your snobby, "I think I'm better than everyone", and "Only my way is right" comments. I can't take it anymore. It's people like you on this site that made me take a "leave of absence" in the past. I'm taking a permanent one now. Thanks for the good times Tyler. Most of all thanks for all the prayers, encouragement, and friendship in a time of need to those certain people. You know who you are. Much love and peace.
Wow, don't really know you, but I would hate to see ya leave...We are trying to get new members I thought, not loose the Ultimates..... @n(
-
We don't want to lose anyone that adds to the positive experience.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone and I certainly don't want to be the reason anyone leaves SBG.

Maybe this one is for the meeting of the moderators to review...... B*) B*)
-
LOL, maybe create a poll......Is Schro a holier than thou, gotta have the last word, jerk?
I know at least two guys that would say yes. :*))
-
Oh now..stop it! stop it stop it!.....before someone gets hurt. I wasnt going to reply to this because I wanted to remain neutral. I dont think anyone in here is holier than thou...we are all brothers in here. Yes some may get on your nerves and others..you just brush to the side. Im sorry to see what happened in here tonight..go down. I think sometimes we get ourselves so wrapped up in one certain thing and we tend to let it control alot of what we do and what we say. It might do someone some good to just step back for a while and give it a rest, and then revisit. I will say that what McClane said probably should have been taken in a PM but hey we arent all perfect and I dont expect myself or anyone in here to be perfect. We also have to remind ourselves this is the internet and you are going to come across a whole different world in here. WHile I am here..I want to apologize to anyone whose toes I may have stepped on by accident. Please, if anyone has some beef with me...please do it in PM and not out here. If I have stuck my nose in here where it doesnt belong...I apologize for that too.
Its great being sly!
-
Its great being sly!
Thats what its all about bro! This is what brings all of us together
-
Whoa, Lance! Where did that come from?
-
I think you all should just leave this post here. Maybe it will show some people how things can get out of hand. Just use it as a prime example of what not to do. Things happen, but if we all just stop and think before we start punching keys and buttons....Oh well I have said enough adn it isnt even my arguement
-
Wait, Lance is McClane? ???
-
Lance wouldnt want to see you go mate. You've been part of this forum for a long time.
-
Oh, dear me. This thread was started as a bit of fun and, as you say, innocently. It has all got extremely heated!
-
I'm still not sure why...

Yes I'm still in the dark with this too, can someone or a Moderator please explain why this particular thread has gotten to this.

Think we're all still trying to figure that one out
-
I dont think it is too hard to figure out. Im not siding with either one because I think it is just a combination of one person taking the other person the wrong way. Maybe McClane was having a bad day ...like we all do.....and everyone has seen how Schro can sometimes go over the top a little. Its life...not everyone is going to agree with what another person is saying and vice versa. Im friend's....well at least I hope...with both parties involved, and Im sure after a few days it will all blow over. I do think though that maybe we shouldnt be wasting good posting energy on this. Things happen and sometimes there is nothign we can do about it. So back to our regularly scheduled program...Take it away Bob!
Timmay!

TIMMAY with words of wisdom.

Here's a little irony, our newest member's name is Harmony. ;D
Great timing. O0
-
That's not irony....that Fate.
-
Hush it Pigpen...most people who dream...dream about stuff that deep down inside they really want to experience! LOL...but I wont hold that against you...
that reminds me of a song.....If I say you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me? LOL
Timmay!

That's not irony....that Fate.
Like Fate Hill? Oh wait..thats Faith Hill...lol

Oh, and I'M the Snobby, Know it All, Holier Than Thou SOB. ;D

We bow before you ..the GREAT SCHRO! W3!ght
Now when is lunch..im hungry #ng^y

D#tG3t I'm late here to the war between the Slys @rg$ and am afraid to say anything, but here goes. Schro, I have never taken you as being 'holier than thou' -- quite the contrary... laid back and easy to get along with. Lance, I always felt that you are a down-to-earth, good guy too, one that I would love to have a beer with (oooh, that sounds good on a Friday). There must be some misunderstanding or long overdue PM'ing that needs to go on... communication: good, blowing up due to lack of communication: decidedly NOT good. I hope you guys can get this straightened out. I'll drink to that. b!3r b!3r b!3r
Deb, I'm still glad you joined. How does this compare to the cat-fights you see with women friends?
-
Thanks for the kind words, Stu. Hopefully McClane (Lance) will come back and acknowledge your post.
-
I'm still not sure why...
Yes I'm still in the dark with this too, can someone or a Moderator please explain why this particular thread has gotten to this.
Most of the beginning of this thread was expunged/ sanitized; whatever you might want to call it. If I can recall properly the 'trouble' began when someone expressed the opinion that the miliary was not the greatest place to be -- there might have been some allusions to the war in Iraq being 'wrong' --- don't quote me. So I guess in this way it got a little political. Oh yeah; one thing i remember is that Deb said something like her boyfriend both looked more 'conservative' and that he LOOKED more 'conservative' now too with his shaved head. Someone else gave a " 2 thumbs up " to this ; thus advocating 'conservative' political views. Then there were some responses to that . ...
I hope this clears up the confusion at least somewhat as to how the thread got so heated.
BTW; Lance / McClane seems to have dropped his membership -- my PM to him did not go through. Damn; I really like that guy; don't want to loose him as a friend. Does anyone happen to have his personal email address?
By the way ; Sorry for my part in all of this. I injected some 'political' comments into this thread; just couldn't resist. Personally; I think political views ARE something that we should be able to discuss in here. We express all kinds of opinions, such as "comb-overs are an abomination" (without hating or condemning the guy WITH the combover, i hope) .. having taboos on certain subjects limits the 'wholeness' of this site, i feel
-
All I will say is that the thread never got overly heated at the point it was pulled, but there were opinions expressed on both sides of the political aisle that clearly indicated it was going to get very nasty, very quickly. Rather than let it get out of control, it was pulled (in its entirety).
Deb-T then reposted her boyfriend's pictures at the request of some so they could see the difference in his appearance before and after he shaved his dome.
-
One thing I will say. I'll not say if I am right, left or center but I am against censorship in any way shape or form .
-
it doesnt offend me when someone says the military isnt a good life. I just acknowledge it, jump in my new truck, and head to my new house and play with all my toys. :D
-
Nic.. can i come pee in your new front lawn?? PLEASE I gotta go really really bad.

Sure! I heard peeing on your lawn will help green it! In the summer I strictly piss on the lawn. No toilet for me!
-
I must have been typing too fast in my previous post. Deb said that her boyfriends political views were getting more consevative; just as his shaved head looks more 'conservative.'
As Schro said; the thread was NOT particularly heated at the time it was pulled. I disagree, though; that it was destined to get ugly. Why expect the worst of people?
-
MAN!!! I've been super busy and have not been here in ages but whoa drama drama!!! been some interesting reading boys!!

Welcome back BetterHalf....Jdog finally let you out of the closet? LOL

Not certain I understand where you're going with this post John. But I've learned my lesson...........

My sincere wish is for people to settle their differences - and I really hope no-one leaves the group.
The unwitting culprit was myself. When I mentioned Danny looking and being more conservative, it was a neutral statement. Just a fact, and I didn't mean that it was necessarily good or bad.
I'm so sorry because of the trouble, and would far rather people blamed me than fell out with each other!
-
Don't worry about it, Deb.
-
DEB...whoa whoa whoa...it wasnt your fault. Im sure this doesnt make a good first impression for anyone. You didnt do anything out of line at all. I think this thread needs to focus back on what it was intended for.
So what does Danny think of the new look? Im kinda in the dark and was just wondering..is Danny still serving? Is he able to sign in and check the site out??
Great to haveyou here Deb.
Timmayy
-
I think you are pretty blameless, Deb. It was an innocent, neutral statement. None of us can predict what directions a statement we make might take.

Wow guys, can't leave you alone for a couple days eh.... Warhawk, where you at bro???
Deb_T, welcome to SBG's. I missed the pics and I am guessing most of the convo, but I wanted to say that there is alot that can change a man. Most is something that causes him to become more mature and experience life. Being in a town with alot of military, I have met guys before their iraq deployment and seen them when they return. Its kinda like they grow up in a wierd way, they see the petty crap don't really matter anymore.
Also- shoutout to JohnMount, glad you came back to the slyside!!!!

You did absolutely nothing wrong....You are proud of your man and standing behind him...I hope my son who is a Marine finds a woman as supportive as you..

I agree Deb, you did nothing wrong :) You caused no trouble at ALL!!!!!!!

deb: it is definitely NOT your fault. when one starts a post... that person can NEVER control the outcome of others. hope U stick around & remain an active member of the best site on the internet.

Well looks as though we may have lost another one...she removed the pics....hmmm
-
Don't really blame her after all of this crap......
-
Well looks as though we may have lost another one...she removed the pics....hmmm
She also removed them when she posted the pics the first time this thread was on the board.
-
I only removed the pics, guys, because I didn't think it a good idea to leave them on indefinitely. The internet is such a public domain, and you never know who might be watching. I only intended to leave them on for a short time anyway - it wasn't because of the arguing!
-
that's cool......
-
wipes my brow....good because I thought you took them off because of the conflict....
Thanks for staying...
Timmay!
-
I'll put them back for a bit and re-open the poll if you want!
-
Go for it.
-
But then, I've been thinking, this thread has (unintentionally) caused enough trouble. Perhaps better to let it fade away!
-
Nothing against Dan, but I think that would be a good decision.
-
Whatever floats your boat.
