because she told me that everyone keeps emailing her to see if she is okay and no one has once thought to email me but her to find out if I am okay. and no apology from the guy who made me the butt of the joke. and yea one did apologize but I don't accept because he thought it was funny and knew about it and instead of standing up for me went along with it
If it helps any, I wasn't on when this happened, which I find ironic in some way.
If you're referring to Bacon and Steven, then I'm not sure what to tell you. People like to play with other people, because they find it amusing. What most people find amusing, especially if they themselves know of the joke, while someone else doesn't, is the appearance of knowing something someone doesn't know, and it's a proven fact that they know. It's amusing because they themselves think they can't explain it.
So, don't hold it against them. It's their own foolish nature, because they lack knowledge and/or understanding of their own life. So, to create fun for themselves, they must mock or make a mockery of people, so they can fill a void of boredom.
cagsil, you've always seemed like a good guy, and i have a lot of respect for you. however, i do agree with one person as they said, you shouldn't comment if you don't know the whole story. i would like to make it clear that I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BACON'S JOKE NOR DID I HELP HIM TO PLAN OR CONCEIVE IT. therefore, i would appreciate it if you never spoke that way about me again. you don't know the type of person i am or know that much about me, so you have no right to judge me.
that truly angers me as the way your wording it, your making it sound like i did help him plan it. plus, for the record, i didn't even know what the fake tom was even saying to lacey as i didn't read their conversations. however, if you want to condemn me anyway, then go for it. i deserve it anyway. just don't EVER word it like that again.
Hey Steven. I didn't say that you and bacon planned anything. I know, what I know. I see what went on. I do read the threads. Therefore, what happened between YOU, and whomever else, is for me to judge. I can read, comprehend and understand the words I read. If you feel you have been misjudged, then I suggest you get over it. I am always misjudged and I get over it. I suggest you do the same. It's called adversity and if you can't deal with it, you will never amount to much more than your already.
Which means, your singular life will live, happen and then die, and you will be never the wiser that you actually missed the meaning of life somehow. If I wanted to I could have put a stop to the entire charade. Bacon emailed me and Lyrics, when he made the "TOM" character, so as to play with Crazdwriter. When he emailed me to tell me it was him, I emailed him back and said to him "you're sad". And, I left it at that. I essentially let the chips fall where they may and see what happens. I was under no obligation to tell anyone what I knew. Yet, when you found out...you continued to play along? Now, how sad does that make you seem or appear to be? You get your rocks off at the expense of other people? Hmm....? That doesn't seem too moral or even ethical. Yet, now you are here b!tching at me, because I misjudged you? Too bad. I hope you had a nice Christmas, because if you continue this, your day is not going to get any better.
Leave it alone.
don't talk down to me like a moron. as for playing along? did you even read what i said? i didn't play along with anything. all i said to bacon when he e-mailed me was "oh okay." in fact, i'll be more than happy to post my email i sent back to him on that day since you want to make me out to be liar.
Like you, i felt no obligation to tell anyone what i knew either. i was just in the misfortune to be the only one caught. plus, like i told someone else earlier, when i was trying to tell bacon that his joke might have been going too far in forums, but that's when one of the other parties saw our conversation and this whole mess escalated. HELL ASK BACON YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME. he'll tell you that i had nothing to do with his plan. NOTHING! your just getting your rocks off sounding so high and mighty over me.
you know what, i take back what i said about you. i don't think your a nice guy or even a decent one. in fact, don't ever talk to me again you a**hole.
See, like I said, if you continued, then your day was going to get worse. Now, you're upset or pissed off and you're taking out on me. That's fine. You can, because I don't mind. I know what bacon did. His actions were bad, stupid, sad, pathetic and a few other choice words, which I will not use.
You don't want to talk to me, then don't. But, also do realize, that YOU are to stay out of my conversations, as well. That means, you keep your mouth shut and mind your own damn business.
If I am talking with someone else- You keep your distance.
I hope we are CLEAR about that. Otherwise, have a nice life.
that suits me just fine. just don't ever talk about me again. in fact, if you ever even bring up or make references to me in forums, and i find out, i will report you to hubpages for harassment. is that clear? i don't even care if its even a rumor that you brought me up in a future conversation, either. i hope you have a terrible xmas and terrible new year jerk. by the way, if any of your fans or friends email me asking to take what i said back, i won't as i have no intention too.
i can understand why lacey would be mad at me as well as beth. those two have every right to be. however, unlike you, im being a man enough to admit i was wrong and taking whatever comes my way. that's what a real man does. when he gets caught he admits it, and takes the fall. he never lists others. i never told beth or lacey you knew because i aint no rat. however, i guess your worse than a rat. your a boy. your just acting like a little boy that's trying to make himself look high and mighty. when in reality, your just as responsible for lacey's pain as i am. you knew about it, but you choose not to tell lacey about bacon's plan. thats why lacey is mad at me for not telling her, so your just as freaking responsible by your own admission. don't believe me? reread what you said.
therefore, having said that, i hope you have a terrible holiday and don't bother replying to this as it will only lead to an automatic report to hubpages by me and any future remarks you want to make about or referenced to me in forums. have a nice day jerk.
Hey Crazd?
Do you have a better picture of you? More close up?
I ask for a reason. Don't ask why? Just answer yes or no.
Hi Cags & everyone,
No rants from me today - I dealt with it last night. And no - I am not leaving hubpages.
I just want to sympathize with what everyone else is going through. ((Crazed)) I hope all works out.
Holly
It may not even get done until tomarrow - I am going for drinks at 4 today!!!
How are you?
I am doing okay. I ripped down 16 hubs today, to evaluate them, revise them and hopefully make them better for attracting traffic and possibly clicks.
I seem to be doing pretty good. I have about 28 hubs right now, because of the ones I took down, but NONE of them is ranked lower that 61 or somewhere near that. Which is good.
However, I want my photo hubs and poetry hubs to do more than what they are doing.
If you would like an example- so many people like my poem about "women", I have made changes to the Hub and still need to make a couple other adjustments. If you want to check it out and see what I mean
http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Poem-You-Wont … lse-part-5
You didn't need to comment on it.
I was curious of your opinion. But, thank you.
In my hub about Emotional Abuse, I put a picture of a woman yelling at a man. My score kept going down until I changed the picture to a man wagging his finger at a woman.
But, I guess the biggest question is do you know why that happened?
Well! I think most of the readers were women. Also, usually, the victims are women. It is true, but I thought I tried and would watch for the reactions. I shoulda put up both pictures. Hmmmm!!!
Well, that shows you didn't plan better and now have learned that thru the mistake of the picture. I hope you take that knowledge and use it for all your next hubs. I know it can be difficult to get it perfect, but when displaying pictures of any kind, every view it could be conceived as, has to be reviewed. Otherwise, you'll get results you don't expect.
Ok I've got a rant.
It's my birthday today, and last weekend I had planned to go out for my birthday and invited all my friends. Bearing in mind that I was coerced into doing something by two of my closest friends (I wasnt going to celebrate my birthday coz ultimately its always a disappointment) I had ONE friend show up (other than my boyfriend) and I'm sure she only came because I was staying at her flat. Out of the two friends I planned with, one of them just stopped texting bak when I asked her about it, and the other one (my very best friend) informed me that she'd made plans with her family for the next day and wouldnt be able to get back in time and then rudely asked 'how much is this going to cost me.' Not that she hasnt had two months to save up a bit of money. My boyfriend also invited all his friends but none of them came, except one or two who were out anyway.
Today, my actual birthday, I thought I'd see one of my other close friends who although is infamously unreliable, I thought might come for a drink with me because he knew how upset I was at my other friends for not making an effort. The upshot unsurprisingly is that at the very last moment, when I asked him if he was ready to leave, he (in a very roundabout way) said he wasnt coming. Would have been nice if I'd had a text saying 'sorry cant make it, very busy working' even though an hour before i was gna leave he was still up for it.
My boyfriend (who lives at the other end of the country) is out with all his friends. Who knew that everyone would be out on a wednesday but not at a weekend. Am also going to end up getting in a fight with him before too long about New Year ... but that's another rant for another day.
Anyway. That's my rant. I'm decidedly friendless and alone on my birthday!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I am sorry! I would have come to your birthday celebration! Forget them!
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas too!
You know how you go into a thread like the Last One to Post - and a few people are having a kind of "in=conversation" and you say hi and everyone ignores you?
AND THEN later you're having a really neat conversation with someone and some ahole comes in and tries to say HI and he's all, like, "stop everything and talk to me?" and then there are about 6 of em and they lose your original conversation?
OR how about when you have a great forum topic going and some ahole wants to flirt with somebody right in the middle of it?
AND THEN someone starts a "Rant" thread and you have to read about everybody's neurotic problems with their lives and stuff!?
AND then >>>>
I have stalkers that won't leave me alone... or, should I say.. they keep rating down my poems as they come out
now recieving wierd emails what's up with silly people ?
Hey Cagsil - I just figured out why you started this thread! You knew that us ranters wouldn't be able to do anything else but sit here and rant and that way you got us all out of your way and now you OWN the rest of the forums!! Admit it! and don't take me frickin seriously because that is another one of my rants - when people know that yu are joking and then they pretend to take it seriously just to make you look stupid! well, its true.
Interesting conclusion you have drawn. However, I am simply trying to help and I know everyone now or then needs a place to let out their frustration. I know, I go thru it everyday, when my mother comes home from work. I here the rantings of a 62 retired part-time laundry aide, who can't stand the people she works with or their work-related ethic. They are lazy and place blame on her, because they say she isn't doing her work, when the truth is my mother has been working in her place for 30+ years and she wouldn't have been working there that long, if she didn't do her work.
It pisses me off, but there is nothing I can do, except listen to my mother rant.
see - cuz, I knew you would take me serious and all - but I appreciate also that you had the good sense to set up a place like this! so thanks. and I know you know that your mother is not the exception to the rule! People like here are slaving away by the 1000s with little or no appreciation and s**t wages and when they get close to retirement the work atmosphere can get especially intense because we live in a sexist/ageist/racist society where employers have even been known to pay certain employees to make it hard for older retirement aged employees to continue and get their pension. I know because it has happened to me and others I have known! So I'm glad you appreciate how hard she works - and she is lucky to have you there when she comes home! now I go back to my caustic silly stupid self - end of serious mega - party mega back!
oh, and then also when people say "WE don't have to make you look stupid, Mega, you can do that easily by yourself!"
Cute, but you still haven't answered my other question to you, which is in last to post forum. Let me know either way?
*ranting frog on deck*
Do not, under any circumstances, write a bare bones version of something I've written then further dig your hole deeper by posting your hublink on my bloody hub.
Straight from the mouth of frog - that's beyond taking the piss
*ranting frog out*
Hey frog, I hope you feel better. Could you explain a little, so other people are not confused, like I am now.
lol Cagsil - a new hubber stopped by one of my hubs, said 'great hub yadda yadda' then linked back to their own bare bones version.
Damned bare faced cheek!
Don't mind a dropped link.
However, I mind when it's from a hubber that has not read my hub and their own is very similar - then link to theirs from mine. What's worse is the fact they've spammed thier link
around the site on any hub that's similar.
It's just bad form.
My frustrations = The snow is screwing up the roads around here, can't get into my street, slid into a traffic sign and knocked it over just now, luckily car is alright no damage
stuck in work for 9.5 hours, stuck in traffic further half an hour, then fell asleep and havent my girlfriend in 3 days.. tommorrow she says she has a surprise for me and my hubscore is ascending again good and bad points
just working on some more hubs!
hey cags, how come you deleted some of your hubs? I nearly deleted one that got flagged the other day, but I managed to edit it yesterday and it got cleared
when I finally sat down and decided how I could change it LOL
I haven't deleted anything. I have unpublished the certain Hubs, so that I could make changes to them. They were not drawing much traffic, considering my other Hubs. So, I have taken some offline, to address looks and links, products and wording. Many of my photo hubs and poems were what was taken down. I have since republished most of them, with minor changes.
My poem on Women -- has new changes to it, which is represents some of my followers, who are women. My tribute them. I appreciate the people who follow my writing and learn from it.
Okay. You people out there STOP EMAILING ME WITH YOUR NASTY WORDS!!!!! I DID NOTHING WRONG!!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE COMPLETE STORY, DON'T JUDGE ME!!!!
My #$!@* leave me be!!! Go away!
What is going on out there???? Am I walking around with a post-it on my forehead or what??? GO AWAY!!!
Getting to the point of vanishing for a while.....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
That is just bull No one knows the whole story so stop emailing beth and being such jerks!
Actually, it's not.
Self-explanatory, as far as, dollars are concerned, but what was it spent on? Dinner? Lunch? Brunch?
Some people are just simply clueless. What can I say?
But, on another note....did you see my other forum thread about Women?
Pretty lousy. I'm a 15-20% er, unless the service is really bad, even then I only go down to 10%. Not braggin' just sayin' I know it's a tough job.
crazy last-minute Christmas shoppers. an elderly lady almost ran me over trying to get a parking space. i felt the hot breath of her engine and felt her car lightly brush my leg. i started cussing a blue streak and she just stared at me. well either that or she was comatose. i couldn't tell. she was wearing BluBlockers.
Ok so here goes my rant.
I am in Africa for Christmas and New Years. I have to work. So I am stuck on a boat for the holidays. The phones are in and out, so I dont know if I am going to be able to speak with my family over the holidays either. So its a little depressing. Not much of a rant, but its whats on my mind at the moment.
Thanks Crazd.
How did you fair with Nanowrimo? I didnt finish by the deadline, but I am still working on the novel.
not to toot my own horn but I am still shocked I even finished it but I finished it in 24 days...yea I did actually finish a novel lol 196 pages or 50,810 word count...it was actually 30,809 but NaNo gave me an extra word
I got a fresh rant. I was checking a hub with an up arrow to see where the traffic is coming from and every time I try to do anything the video ad takes over the screen! Takes to long to load so I can just close it again! My mouse is no where near the bloody thing! I hate those things so much that I have become very aware of where my mouse is cause they take over the screen if you get anywhere near them! I F*ckin Hate Those Ad's!
I see you're running 90 miles an hour here and there between forums.
How was you Christmas?
So, much for not talking to me anymore?
@Steven- Do you feel better now?
I certainly hope so.
This one extends beyond the internet, its just as annoying in the real world as well as the matrix . People who take things tooooo seriously It's usually not all that important and its like chill out its only life after all
Life is filled with adversity at every corner of the street, no matter, which way you walk.
If life is sooooo important then why is it so easy to lose?
goodness we are getting all philosophical init?
I have been for most of my life. If things don't make sense, there must be a reason why sense isn't made of it? Explain the reasons for why things happen? Usually, if something happens to someone, it's either thru their own actions or the actions of others.
I disagree, it is why it's critical to create importance in ones life but it is not inherent to life. Life is an arms race, it can be seen through out nature, the predator must always be stronger/faster/cleverer then those before because the prey will also need to be stronger/faster/cleverer to survive. We are not so different, we must be willing to become stronger/faster/cleverer in order to maintain our position of dominant life on the planet or we will lose that spot. It's kinda an odd view I have but thats it
It seems to me that most people think life is inherently of value and I guess from the view that it is going to be food for something it is but the view is that everyone is of value simply from being born. I think its not so easy as that, you must create value and worth or its not value or worth anything. I get people thinking that I am heartless in this view and thats something I accept if I share my views at all I think therefore I am, yes, I am therefore I am of great value ummmm no not that easy
