Why? this band is about Creed. If I want to talk about Our Lady Peace or Puddle of Mudd I'd subscribe to a forum about them. Don't think you'll be recognized as a hero because you're now advocating off-topic discussion. > But then again, according to you, I don't want to > associate with the list. Uh-huh, that's why I said, "If you guys want, you > can IM me at NirvanasCreed17." So if I don't want to associate with the > list, then why did I tell everyone where they can talk to me directly at? I don't know... what I do know is that it's monumentally STUPID to post that sort of info to a worldwide forum like this one. > I have a question for you, sir. Why is it when other people asked for help > with the Creedquest, other people replied rather nicely, but with me, I just > get a snide reply? I think next time you should actually pay attention to > what you read. Because your question was puerile (look it up) and easily answered with a minimum of effort on your part to look it up. I can't stomach people who don't use their brains. Why? Because those of us who've managed to learn how to do that are constantly called upon to lend to people like you who are too darn lazy to try it. > Funny, I remember not to long ago there was a big discussion on this list > about personal attacks on people . . . . Funny, so do I. Also equally funny, the person who was stalking me was doing so over personal e-mail, making unsavory observations about me and speculating about things going on within my family. Then she came onto the list and tried to act like the victim and to rationalize what she was doing. I'm an open book, luser, I have no problem delivering the diss in an open forum and letting people's perceptions of who I am be swayed in one direction or the other. And to date, I've gotten WAY more pats on the back than I have gotten hate-slathered e-mails from schizophrenic social outcasts so as far as I'm concerned you can think whatever you want. However, if you're waiting for an apology you'll have a long wait. To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
