TMS, if you want the truth the truth is this really is her grandson... the reason i went to your old posts was because in other threads that i have read which you commented on.. you take an approach as if no fault is with you.. when in fact i only had to read a couple post from when you started to find you have made a mistake just as everyone has made a mistake.. and guess what? will continue to make mistakes.. the mistake was .. you said the person should write in a nice manner basically yet your posts on other threads shows you dont even follow your own advice! also the only reason i commented about any of your statements was truthfully because you asked for it.. not me but my grandmother.. and since she went to sleep and i seem not to be able to at this time because so much stuff is going through my head since i have not been "awake" for very long i decided id talk to people on here....and why is it trolling to show comments you have made? or is it trolling because i looked at old posts? oh and the reason we type and write similliar is because just like most born ins i was homeschooled for most of my academic education and she was my teacher ....throughout highschool years i actually went through an actuall program but hopefully this explains why we have a simillar writing technique... oh and going back to an earlier post you made about farkle.. i bet if you were giving a talk and at the end there was an open conversation with the audience and they all started critiquing your talk and showing the flaws in your speech or even just saying it was horrible ...you would "turn tail and farkel" so to speak.. even though ive never seen farkle as of yet run from criticism more often i see him getting angry and defensive .. but doesnt everyone who gets ganged up on?

How much positive reinforcement do you need to function on JWD?
by TMS insuffice to say most of us appreciate favorable comments when we initiate a thread.
even in our jw days, after an assembly part, student talk, public talk etc.

First I should start with BizzyBees comment.. I am not bound by Farkle rules, but I see what your sayin "I dont know TMS" but on the other hand from the looks of it only a few people have even met in person so its pretty safe to say nobody really knows anybody on here.. and I dont believe I was being wisecracking... more like checking to see if hes really about what he says hes about.. if he truely doesnt mind criticism then it should be fine right? plus apparently he doesnt want or need positive reinforcement.. now some might say since im a new poster that i have no right to make these kind of comments.. that is a matter of oppinion i suppose, what gives anyone the right to tell anybody anything? just because someone has been on a online forum longer doesnt make him or her more special or have more rights than I.. It just meens that person has been on longer.. granted I try to respect my elders if possible.. but if I feel they are being ridiculous and at some part down right rude.. well i say you are being ridiculous and rude! (except if they have dimentia or alzhiemers or something like it that makes them lose social kind of abilities ..but for the most part if they are what society considers "normal" then sometimes people only lesson if called on it) the bolder printed words in my last post were his own comments.. i didnt put them in his mouth 10 years ago .. heck id have only been 10 years old then.. anyways back to what i was sayin.. if he contradicts himself by doing something different now then what he said when he started , he should be called on it..
and to man in black i agree we shouldnt fight on here.. but i dont think there is anything wrong with input or criticism aslong as the criticsm isnt purposively trying to hurt someone..

All im trying to say is that this whole brewhaha over farkle seems to be a little rediculous he did not start this fight... as far as your approach to saying that an "Adult" doesnt need positive reinforcement is rediculous.. would you like for everyone to not acknowledge your post? or better yet critisize everything you said and say it was all garbage?... I think not, or you would not be so defensive about the things you say.. im not trying to start trouble but you need to take your own advice from 10 yrs ago and "use careful, reasoned, polite, non-inflamatory posts" or even "Perhaps, a little more poodle. less rottweiler." so you can be a little less abrasive and more persuasive..

THE WAR RAGES ON!! haha jk kidding guys dont reach for the keyboard just yet lol.. Being a "noobie" to this forum I will not choose sides but from what I can tell this whole thing started in the window washers thread... that being said farkles post was on topic and very informative i thought.. then someone came along and started something..also from what ive read he has made some how shall we say...vulgar comments but so has alot of people and in all seriousness, who REALLY CARES??? does anyone on here really take offense to a swear word here and there?? come on for goodness sakes! EVERYONE is different .. Raised different, taught different, led a different life..just face it.. we are DIFFERENT! i have enjoyed farkles comments so far and his life story part 1 was very interesting.. and a little extra sauce for the end.. TMS im sure you get hurt some what from criticism or you wouldnt be so defensive.. love, peace and happiness to all!
