    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Truce?

Paul at least you voiced your opinion!

There is something that Chris J taught me a while back and that is (and I doubt I have the exact wording correct but you will get the idea):
Sometimes people just have to agree to disagree and move on.

Thats all that has to be done, people will disagree or sometimes just darn well not like each other, but its best at times to just agree to disagree and move on.

Wise words, Wendy. Damage has been done to various personal and professional relationships over the past few days, but it's nothing that's beyond repair.

Now then, I'd like to take a moment to address Chris, and I feel that this is something that needs to be done publicly since folks have seen us step on each other's toes the past day or so.

This has been a stressful time for all involved and a few folks, yourself and myself included, have been easily set off as of late. Recently, you said you were sorry if a certain comment you made offended me. Well, I'm publicly apologizing for the jabs that I took at you. I'll admit that I'm still disappointed in your actions as of late, just as I'm sure you are of mine, but it's not something that we can't discuss as adults. Whether we come to a mutual understanding or simply just agree to disagree, there's no reason on earth that it can't be done calmly and rationally.

The ball's in your court, Chris. If you'd like to discuss things one on one, simply shoot me an email or a pm.
 
I could not have said it better myself Ken.

My problem is.. if it smells like crud, looks like crud, and feels like crud.... i simply cant help but call it crud. Even if it upsets people. I'm a blunt individual, and sometimes it's not very appealing when tensions rise. Even as blunt as I am there are lines that should not be crossed. Especially recently with all that has been going on.... (that's probably the understatement of the year)

I can easily say and agree its gone too far. There are still issues i feel need addressed sometime in the future, but as far as you and me... Consider it squashed. We all know we're better than this. Olive branch accepted Ken, and returned.

Thats true Wendy, but there was a small part of me that wanted to see them get real real mad at each other and duke it out in the ring like Danny Bonaduchi and Donny Osmand did....Is that so wrong?
 
Well Joe, Ill be honest, at any other time in the past, Ive loved to see the "pissing matches" and the "duking it out" but here recently with other things happening that reminded me of what really matters in life, NO, I don't want to see it and Id hope that no one else would either.

I will not even go into what I fell right now or what is going on with me and my family, I just don't have it in me right now to do that.

What I will say, is that when everything is all hunky dory and everyone is happy and nothing going wrong, people tend to seek out drama of some kind and a good "fight" is amusing to watch at times, but when you get back to the reality of life and realize what these "fights" are almost always useless and that there are more important things if life to worry about, they seem to be so unnecessary and most likely cause more harm that good.

No I do not wish for a perfect world, just a perfect day, just one to start, then we can try two, maybe even three.....
