Hey everybody! Finally off school!

Awesome.

[NFX]

Nice. Technically my college finishes today, but I only get classes Monday through Wednesday. And because we've gone through the coursework so quickly, I only had to be there on Monday. So I've been on holiday for three days already.

Both of you, SOTG and Jonzu, please end this before it gets nasty. I personally don't like the way either of you interact with the other, so go do something constructive rather than flame bating.

I'm not flame baiting. I'm just explaining. Not everything I say is a stab at Jonzu. Sure, my way with words may be bad, but he lashes out at me far more than I intentionally lash out at him, and it's getting hurtful and tiring and at this rate, I'm losing the will to finish his prints, let alone take back everything I say on the grounds that it may or may not offend him. I was simply explaining that holidays are not a peaceful time when you actually have to work

If you know a comment like that is going to annoy him, why say it.

Look mate, she was explaining to him, and he took it the wrong way. Nothing intended.

Because I need to set the facts straight. Things need to be seen from all angles. And, most of the time, I don't know. Like with the RD comment

[Badger]

Been on holiday for a week now. =P

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

Likewise, but you can't really call it a holiday when you're packing boxes and orders like crazy

[ty4er]

we can, you can't. stop trying to make a flame war :P

Did you read any of what I said near the top of the page? I'm just explaining from the angle of someone who works nine to five, Monday to Friday in a shop environment

So when that topic comes up, there just happens to be a pattern that you start the topic, Jonzu gets angry and disagrees, and then everyone sighs and walks off?

Seriously, observe the content of your posts in future. You can be less forceful and less direct about getting your point across.

This has happened some 12 times or so with the same result, so I think by now Scourge should have found a way round this.

You know, just a pattern guys.

[ty4er]

he was saying his opinion, you were saying yours (if a bit harsh).

Don't start an argument over that and don't sound that harsh when you were explaining just one point. no need

[madman3]

Also, HIS holiday may be relaxed even if yours isn't. That's a strait fact.

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

I can't control how I am with words. It looks completely calm and innocent to me, it's just interpreted differently by other people, because it's just text and this is the Internet. I admit that I may be a bit blunt at times and wayward at others, but that's just who I am. I don't try and fluff up my opinion, because that just ends with a worse result

I know, but I thought he was also in a working environment

[Chaosmancer]

The problem with saying opinions is that, as a generalisation, unless you state it is an opinion, people will read it the wrong way (namely read it like you are saying it is the only truth). I have had this happen on a myriad of occasions, so this is one of the few times where I know what I am talking about.

Yes, where I spent most of the time doing nothing.

Well, what's your job? You never told us, so I presumed it was in a blue collar working environment like me

Then learn very quickly. I am rather good at adapting my speech patterns to whoever the audience is, and as such you should try and adapt, otherwise this will happen.

Over and over.

I'm working at local Office equipment store. Mostly installing programs to customers computers, or cleaning.

AH, so you're white collar.

Yeah, I take it back, you'll be pretty peaceful
