Owl Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Fair enough. Be careful that you don't fall victim to your own as well. Good advice to anyone, really.

fooled once Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Yes, it is my "experience" that a certain group of posters got themselves banned but continue to make new user names over and over. That seems to signify a "lifetime" of sorts on this forum. Agree Another perspective... Oftentimes, others PERCEIVE us much more clearly than we see ourselves. We're blinded by our own concept, our own self-image...and simply don't see ourselves the same way that an outsider does. If a large number of "other people" come to the same (or similar) conclusions based on their 'perception' of you and your actions...and yet you insist that they're all wrong...a wise person might instead stop and consider what, specifically, gives those outsiders (who aren't blinded by that same self-image) reason to come to the conclusions that they did. Just because you don't agree with their conclusions, it doesn't follow that they're actually wrong. The question becomes which set of PERCEPTIONS and CONCLUSIONS based on those perceptions are off, and why? Great post Owl.
