What is the sound of one hand clapping?

your mom

I look at the poll question bar graph at the top and I see an obscene gesture.
It's a hand. And it's not clapping.

I see what you did there.

Did everyone take their meds today!

*sigh*

I usually try to stay out of big "discussions" like this simply to avoid being flamed, but this specific thread has got me in a talkative mood.

At first when I saw this I didn't think about it too much. I thought to myself, "He posted others chops and called them crap... Hmmmm..." But having OCD makes me think about things over and over again, and that's what I did. I put myself in Mira's shoes, and when I did I realized how upset I would be if that was my chop being called crap. Not only is it upsetting; it's embarrassing. Here you have Mira, a fairly new member trying to come up with creative ideas and improve at PS, being knocked publicly. All to boost one persons ego.

Personally I don't chop much. When I do, I love getting votes, and honestly do get upset when something I've worked on for a while gets only a few votes. But the thing is, calling an individual out like that is not the way to react when that happens. You have to take a look at your chop, and see what you can improve on to make it better, and what you could do to get more votes. Then try to find a middle ground where you end up with a better chop, and also get more votes.

Ok. I think I'm done for now. lol

Just have a few minutes here but Tutor you are a good chopper - this place is kind of fickle with the votes but chop for yourself.

On to ResidentIdiot- you have to either be somebody's alias that's here stirring up trouble or you got onto a drinking binge as was mentioned earlier and got a bit uninhibited about what you were rambling on about. Seriously it was in very poor taste . I think My main thing is appalled and feeling bad for Mira or anyone that is set up as an example. I will just let Martrex have at you.

Individuals who make their abodes in vitreous edifices would be advised to refrain from catapulting petrious projectiles.

Isn't that like people in glass houses shouldn't get stoned?

Somethin' like that!

Is that - like - Don't play with dong if you hate washing with soap?

I will repeat again. The comment was in bad taste. Nothing personal was meant by the statement. My own stuff is crap compared to what is produced here every day. (And has been called that before. *cough*ReyRey*cough*) I'm not trying to put anyone down.
It was meant as a humorous comparison.
Obviously people can't get past what I said in jest and understand what I was saying about the voting process. I'm not upset about the placement of my entries. I'm not crying, pouting, yelling, being cruel, or in any other way being a poor sport.
None of this discussion had anything to do with my own posts.

Mira: Nothing personal was meant by my statement. Please accept my apology.

For everyone here I will go back and edit the post.

Admins: I don't think this topic is going anywhere. Feel free to shut it down if you want. The author doesn't think anyone's understanding the point of the topic.

Once again: Nothing was meant by the statement.

Well Resident Geek, I chopped this specially for you. Try to read it.

(Tip: at the top, totally out of reach, is where the few best of the world choppers sit. Just out of reach, almost at the fingertips, is where the best choppers of PSC sit. Just where you are, in the treetrunk, is where most of the PSC choppers are.)

Question: How do you think you will get to the top of the tree?



a. Chop the tree down and step on everybody
b. Chop a limb of the tree and step on that
c. Grow myself bigger and better, so I can reach higher

Your choice, Resident Geek.
