However, what Snoredog displayed in all his foulmouthed "glory" was inexcusable behavior. He wasn't talking just about MM/BB. He was using his well honed bully tactics to try to intimidate any newcomer who might offer a suggestion about the board. There are better, more welcoming ways to respond to those suggestions.
I sure don't share Snoredog's opinion.
My opinion:
1. Newcomers are very welcome here.
2. Newcomers are most welcome to post their opinions, suggestions, ideas at ANY time, including when they first arrive here.
3. Newcomers should be aware that Snoredog is, unfortunately, a regular poster on this board. I've seen him in action here, and in the past as "dizzy" on the TalkAboutSleep board, for so many years that I'm used to what he spews. Always sorry to see it though, as I'm sure his ugly, bullying behavior intimidates and drives away a great many people who are visiting cpaptalk.com for the first time.
A word to new people reading this thread. I hope you won't be intimidated by the few "Snoredog"s you come across here. Please know that if you'll ignore Snoredog you'll find many people on this board who can give you much sounder information and better support than he dishes out.
The majority of people here really are interested in learning and sharing ways to make cpap treatment better/easier.
It's a great place to learn about cpap treatment. And about human nature.
I don't think it can, not honestly, anyway.plr66 wrote: <snip> I just cannot believe that SnoreDog's crap can be justified as somehow on a higher level.

I think these are the truest words spoken in this thread, except IMO they're not true for just "a few of us," but for all of us at one time or another. They certainly are true for me. The past couple of days have been a lesson/reminder for me about how contagious anger and hate can be, yet how buying into it is a choice that I, myself, make. Nobody makes me do it. Trust me, although I managed (for once) to keep my words peaceful, I've been anything but peaceful inside, so I'm feeling anything but saintly about my own reactions.jnk wrote:... it sometimes seems for a few of us that we can be our own worst foe, doesn't it?!
Atta boy you fat old spoiled fart. You tell 'em. And meanwhile why don't you stuff your friggin CPAP hose up your ass and turn the pressure on 15? As much hot air that comes out of your fat beer drinking ass could heat the whole city of New York. If you don't get your fat ass in line around here, I'm going to be busting some balls - and they ain't gonna be mine. You got that you fat wind bag? I don't give a damn how much time you have wasted on this forum, or how many posts you have. You're nothing but a fat old blowhard who needs to shut his fat ass up.Snoredog wrote:My opinion:
You frigging newbies take your whiny asses over to sleepapnea.org or talkaboutsleep.com but get the hell out of here! you come here for 2 damn days make 3 posts, all of that whining, complaining and crying and the next day you want to re-design the damn board.
Well guess what newbie? you sorry SOB's the world don't revolve around you. Your mother may have waited on you hand and foot, but we don't do that crap here, we only help those that wanting and willing to help themselves.
but those of us that like it here are sick and tired of hearing about all your damn whining and complaining wacked out messages like that
dumbass MusicMan and ballbuster, same asshole with a different name. You guys should have saved your money on the machine and got your friggin head examined you could have had money left over to feed your fat ass at McDonalds.
Grow some balls and act like an adult or get hell out of here as we don't need your whiny ass. IF you think we are going to wait on you like your mother boy have you got your damn head screwed on backwards.
Hahahaha! Do you really believe that bullshit you are spewing? This forum is a joke. The way you allow that old fat ass SnoreDog and other smartasses on here talk to people... and then you expect them to be polite in return? That is a myth my boy. This place is going to be a revolving door as long as you let people slam each other - period. I'm not the first person who has an issue with this. I've heard long lists on names that you people think are me... and I am only two of them. I tried to come in here with my polite face on aka MusicMan... but I was not properly dressed for what goes on here. I had to come back with my badass outfit on... because it's easy to see that it's a streetfight around here... and I don't take no shit from anybody. You don't take a pocket knife to a gunfight, and there's obviously been bullets flying around here long before I showed up - not just eggs and tomatoes.Wulfman wrote:One thing that may be "humorous", is that Jambo101, after complaining about not having "sections" on THIS forum, then went over to the ASAA forum and posted an equipment question in the wrong "section".
But, I think that the bulk of Snoredog's "dialogue" was aimed at MusicMan/BallBuster. And, personally, after watching that little "tantrum" for the last two days......I'd had about all I could handle without blowing my stack, too.

RG, you said so well jut what I was thinking. Thank you for your sensibility! I've said it before: You and Ozij were so kind and helpful to me when I first started CPAP treatment. I felt immediately welcomed and I would like that for others who join us if they truly desire to be a part of this forum. And I'm also thankful for the computer technical support from other members who remained patient when I was ready to throw my comp into the swimming pool.rested gal wrote:I think you're right about where Snoredog was directing the bulk of his vomit, and you're right about musicman/BallBuster's ridiculously irrational tantrum.Wulfman wrote:I think that the bulk of Snoredog's "dialogue" was aimed at MusicMan/BallBuster.

Not really. In the four months I've been here, you've brought the only drama we've had when you went off the deep end after misinterpreting someone's comments. <sigh>BallBuster wrote: How about this:
"A forum dedicated to all things CPAP with a bunch of old fat blowhards on it who fight amongst themselves because they have nothing better to do and they need their daily dosage of drama to make them feel alive."
I think that fits better.

Amen Sister. No making nice. Either play nice or we bust some balls around here people.
