I wonder how many people would say the things they say on here if it were a face to face situation. Im glad certain posters have stopped posting, I wish others would follow suite

You can bet your paycheck I'd say the same things (or more) in person! They don't call me "the mean one" in my family for nothing!

But others I'm sure would not. Can't win a battle of wits if you're unarmed.

Ditto, I have never been one to mince words for anyone, call me a b.i.tch if you want. you may not like me but you will never forget me.

My younger sister swears I got all the backbone in the family. I'm pleased I have the ability to speak my mind - I enjoy having that reputation.

At one job I'm assigned to write (or re-write) reports because they like my, for lack of better term, frankness. Beating around the bush just doesn't cut it.

I've been called b.itch before (and will continue to be called that) and it's really not an impressive insult.

Amen... You took the words right out of my mouth.

Also since we are complaining about posters- i hate the fact that hokie bird is posting with a name so close to mine. I guess i should have given more thought to my name!

I'd say anything in person that I would to anyone on here. Unfortunately that attitude has gotten me in trouble at times at work. My former boss told me all kinds of stuff that our sales rep had to "say" about me one time. I called the sales rep about 10 x's and his phone kept going to voice mail. Finally, I just unloaded on him on his voice mail with a stream of expletives, names, and hate that would make Notsosilentbob blush. 5 minutes later my boss says, "I misspoke. He didn't say that, that's just the impression I got from him." Then I have to keep calling again, finally getting through his voice mail to him and apologize. I have a bad temper. Especially toward people that are ignorant. The folks who had the opinion in that "Va Apologizes for slavery" thread of, there's nothing to apologive for, I don't have a problem with. It's the one moron who openly admits to being a hatefilled biggot. Sorry to get off track, but I just like to explain my actions to people who are more tactful than me and who have religious convictions that I might not adhere to. Sometimes I try to use 10 pounds of dynamite to open a pop can. Sorry. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
