There's plenty of lurkers out there that feel totally out of the loop, so to speak, possibly feeling alientated by Electrix' comment, but Lissu is a regular and is likely to take all so-called taunts in good fun. I certainly wasn't offended so why should anyone else deserve extra 'consideration'?

Is there any way someone a little nearer could find out which trac= ks are there and post them to the list? I'm sure that would put a few of us (certainly myself and Lissu) out of our misery. I sent a copy of it to my= bird in the Middle East at the same time and she only got hers today!! = I'm totally loking forward to getting my copy back (although I didn't kno= w we had to put in some cash - oops.)

I would like to clarify the kind of person I am. In my first e-mail to Alloy, I thought I hinted to the kind a person I am. Perhaps, I didn't introduce myself as well as I thought. Since I have gotten 4 negative feedbacks since my arrival, one private and three public. I will assume that my communication was amiss. I am one to instantly acknowledge my flaws when I become aware of them or someone presents it to me. It sadden me to say that the 4 negative feedbacks were unnecessary if only the proper INTERPRETATION to my messages were observed. Moreover, I am not exempt from blaming myself, for the final responsibility lays with me. Perhaps the people that knew me in the Tap Bar have a pleasant or bad impression of me since I had dual alter egos through out those threads. But regardless, I was still able to communicate and willing to restrain my warp sense of humor to maintain peace with the very few of the members that solicited the site. I really don't think further alienation from a small group is healthy route. So I have had to balance my integrity with what people EXPECT from me. But when expectation outweighs my integrity of the person I really am, then I have to express my concerns. I am a very outgoing, happy, funny, joyful person. I am occassionally a prankster, but I reserve that for people I know well so as to cause no offense. I am also a very intelligent person. I don't care for dull conversations or communicate with people who don't have a sense of wit, intelligence and playfulness. Sure, I can be moody and serious, but generally I try to keep the somberness from being the INTENTION of my communications. I also don't care for people who resort to daggers and sharp-edge tongues emoted from impulses of being self-righteous. However, I can RESPECT and a appreciate a direct warning when I have stepped over the boundaries. A civilized comment would do. Because I tend to carry a spirit of playfulness, I could easily offend someone who's frame of mind at the time is nor predisposed to the situation. I don't carry feelings of rancor or ill-will. Not even to those whose razor teeth snaps at me. I realize that both emotions and words can be misplaced. People can have bad days. Also, carrying negative vibes is a self-inflicted destruction to the body and soul of a being. It is not worthy of consideration. Can I get angry? Yes. I am pissed right now. I will get over it, though. I am pissed that I had to come into this forum and read slithering attacks of people I thought were above the mundane bullshit of the world. People that can't tell the difference in playfulness and seriousness. Since that isn't the case...excuse me while I take a crap. electrix ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #203 ***************************
