dude you are way off here! what ever anyone chooses to show here is none of your business. who are you to " challenge" anyone? if you come across someone that does not interest you, move on to one who does.

you speak of pretension take a moment and read what you have just posted. you do not challenge you judge. that is not up to you.

it looks to me that you might be searching for a tranny and if this person turns out to 100% woman you would be greatly disappointed.

take the time to look into the history of ak0. you might find as, we all do she is kind and unlike you not judgmental. you may also discover that she post some of the most thought provoking material on this site. if that confuses you that is your problem.

Ohhhhhh my,,, We all have our reasons for coming here,,
Some choose friendship some choose to share their
Poetry,,, some come looking for their soulmate,,, It really
Does not matter why,, what does matter is that when we
Step into these doors so to say we walk in with respect
And hope to get it in return,,,,, Its ones personal option
To pick and choose what they want to put in their profile
Taunting, bashing or questioning someone for what they choose to share or Not Share should be dealt with per email,,, One may Presume…

Just my own opinion of course

If she wished to honor you with a reply believe me, she would. I think your earlier insults and lack of respect have made the LADY feel perhaps that you are not someone she wishes to talk to. You're wrong, your intentions are not honorable, and your demeanor is rude.

Be gone or you can be banned for your actions. We have asked nice.

" ak0's profile is relatively blank as there are no pictures and the description is somewhat weak.... Have you seen it?"

yes i have seen it. so are you going to now start a campaign to restructure every ones profiles so they all fit to your liking?


"How would I get to know this person if I didn't ask more or challenge what they have written? "

well, i don't know but a good place to start would be with tact not an attack.

bump....

wannabe so attack and insult is your way to draw out the best in people? Good Luck with that your gonna need it.

Well, time fer ole Knox to weigh in here. Bear with me, please, I'm felling particularly long-winded today:

First, MY PERSONAL photo philosophy:

I enjoy putting different pictures up as my main pic, but I feel that there should be an actual picture of me in my photo collection.

That being said:

What I typed above about my feelings about photos is MY OPINION AND MY OPINION ONLY! I do NOT expect others to do as I do. If we all did exactly the same, it would be a pretty boring place.

BSpontaneous:

If you have a problem with ANY ASPECT of ANYONE'S profile, the best place to bring it up to them is via e-mail-NOT a public forum. Calling someone out in front of everyone is bad form, and it isn't cool, either. Ak0 posted a VERY thought provoking poem on here. I thought it was wonderful, and NOWHERE in this poem did she say or do anything to warrant your attack on her. So she doesn't have a pic of herself up. SO FREAKING WHAT? Please tell me how her not having a personal pic up is destroying your day-to-day existance? Why does it bother you so?
Pictures are about expression. A picture of Marilyn Monroe is how ak0 chooses to express herself. It reveals something about her--the fact that she likes Marilyn. Much like my main pic expresses that I like the Dallas Cowboys.
If you must point out things about others you dislike, it might be wise to refrain from doing them in a hateful, spiteful, and insulting manner. The lovely ladies of JSH all have one thing in common--LONG MEMORIES! The saying is true--you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

END OF SERMON.

One other thing:

Ak0 :

Please feel free to post any poetry you like. I enjoy them all. AND I like your pics as well.

I would like to point out that I feel knoxman has a great way of putting things. He looks to place logic and thought into his posts.

I have read the responses and there seems a consensus that I have insulted her by placing my "challenge" to her picture and profile in the poetry section.

For this I do apologize.

I do have a right to judge and will always do so to anyone I feel. It is what we all do everyday of our lives. It is up to them if they wish to engage in conversation with me.

In regards to the tranny thing it was a joke intended to prod her into coming out and showing herself. You again might not have gotten the the risque humor there and maybe she didn't either. I only marry/date/have sex with women so I'll take your comments as humorous as I intended my remarks to her.

Regards and again apologies for having this come up in the poetry section,

John

You are unbelievable....maybe you should re-read knox's thread if that is all that you got out of it....

are you serious? you presume that we all judge people in our every day lives? now who is pretentious?
as an adult one of the things you were supposed to learn is that it is not right to judge people by what they wear or how the look or what they believe much less by the picture they display on their own profile.
your actions today are not unlike the actions of a child in jr. high that has to try to make others look bad just to feed his own self-worth.
the conduct and the statements you have made in defense of this say more about you than anything you have written.

FMA, Are you saying that knox did not convey hi opinion clearly and logically? I understood knox and even agree with the statements made overall.

However, it is impossible not to judge, at some point, in some manner, everyone and thing we come into contact whether in person or online. When a person says they have no judgement they are simply in a position of reserve. They will eventually judge what has occured.

The reality is for this situation was that I had not yet judged anything but the response along the way.. which for me... was weak. Again, be it that it was the wrong place to present this.

You have a judgement of me as pretentious. "now who is pretentious?" "not unlike the actions of a child in jr. high"

You see kc you have judged.

I apologized twice for bringing up the topic in the thread but you didn't take it upon yourselves to appreciate that part. I have judged that about both of you.

In regards to knox' questions I could answer them but that wasn't the most important part of knox's statements to address. but here goes a couple:

1. Nothing here destroyed my day.
2. I think having a personal picture goes with the things you write here. It is my opinion and I stand by it.
3. Why did it bother me? I would initially say that my perspective was that use of a picture of a famous legend does not represent what this site is about. The site JSH is about "you". Taking someone's picture to reprent themselves when it is not does bother me. I like for Marilyn to be associated with Marilyn. When this person writes poetry or other things what is the "Icon" of Marilyn supposed to indicate to the reader on the other side? To some it is offensive and while I'm not saying it is offensive to me it does not represent that person (simply because there is no real representation of that person in their profile. That's as best as I can explain.


The apology stands as is regardless. I'm not the only one who feels this way and I have received emails of support saying that they understood that while the forum was wrong my opinion was exactly as they felt.... They judged too and so that's why we have Democrats (the good ones) and Republicans (the bad ones)

Well now there I go stirring things up again. It's a joke.

J

Ak0.....


apologies for some rude man, coming and beating his issues in your thread.

Obviously' he doesn't get too much contact and is now out to attack any he chooses to see fit...like the Profile Marshall...someone take away his chocolate star...please?


And as to an adult disneyland...I am all ears !!!

Read your response, BS.


You didn't get my message one bit.

Please go back and re-read my post--slowly if you have to. Feel free to take notes. After re-rerading it once more, please post any questions you have about it. I'll be more than happy to go into greater detail with my points.

Maybe we should let Lisa talk to him

See how he likes her song and dance

well as i see it the reason someone

would get so upset about someone

not having a picture up

is that they would be afraid of liking

someone that that does not meet

thier eye candy level

and

thus appearing to be shallow and insensitive

but hey

what do i know

yet another good point

I believe I actuallyread wannabe saying he "Has a right to judge...and will do it when He pleases" hmmmmmmwhats he gonna say when he meets his JUDGE????????

Knox,

You said that you posted again that I should read your post as though I didn't understand it. I read every part of it. I don't see an issue. I again in my post had several times placed the phrases "respectfully", and "apologies" while pointing out my opinion.

My opinion is specific. Has nothing to do with eyecandy adj4u. I wasn't bumped from any freindlist. In fact, every single person I have written to has kindly written back. I'm not even here looking for a date or an intimate encounter. I am enjoying the humor I get from the forums and meeting a few cool people. My profile from the beginning said, "looking for freindship" and I'm honest enough to mean it.

"The lovely ladies of JSH all have one thing in common--LONG MEMORIES! The saying is true--you never get a second chance to make a first impression." I'm okay with this if this is what you were referring too. I have received emails of support from some who understood that "while I agree the manner in which my post and where it was placed was wrong" they understood that I intended no malice and that I was wanting to hear from her why she remained elusive in her profile and posts. There was no intensional position of mine to hurt her.

It's okay to keep pounding this issue but I have already apologized and explained my position thoroughly.

no_psychos_please - I don't get the humor but hope others enjoy it.

Respectfully,

John

*******************************************************

There is no respect shown in this post whatsoever.

This is a poetry forum, as well as songs, etc, and you attacked a person straight up, with no reference to her sharing her thoughts in a form of poetry.

You are a rude and arrogant small man, in my opinion...

no matter how many times you write the word respectfully.

John(if I may call you John):

People don't have pics of themselves on here for various reasons. Believe it or not, some JSHers actually have jobs that have rules against posting photos on sites like these. Some people choose to just have "other" photos up. Still others do put there pic up.

I'm just saying it's a personal choice of the individual. If I had my druthers, everyone would have a picture of themselves on their profile. But it's not up to me. Everyone is allowed a choice, and agree or disagree, I respect their decision.

I agree with you when you say it's best for all of us to move on. Personally, this will be my final say on this subject. I'm moving on to some fun topics. So let's all go have a or 12 and enjoy our evening.
