Makaze

Noted. Well i guess i'll just see you around the forums, i'll know you're somewhere when i hear an explosion in the threads.

sounds good. hahaa! I look forward to future arguments debates with you. So i guess that will help us get to know one another.

I understand. See if you just told me that, i wouldn't have to type so much... Jeez Makaze.

Yes they are different. I know you were insulting me, but i wasn't insulted. i was merely telling you it didn't get to me.

Hahaa I noticed. you do like to magnify your name, I guess i will to, but in a good way. Hahaa!

So until this is done, we will be merely acquaintances. Or am i too much like the crowd to be that as well?

Ok, so for now i suppose i will "make myself stand out." hahaa! (I don't necessarily agree with you on that statement, everyone is different and unique, but hey, if it floats your boat.)

I'm not insulted, you would really have to hit me with something personal to do that. Debating whether or not I'm not worthy is fine. But if you were disrespecting the people i care about, and the things i believe in, that would be another story... However, i hope we never have to push that button. But i'm sure you would love to since it's in your nature to make yourself known. hahaa!

Alright, ok. I see your point.

I'm not here to argue and i assume neither are you... so i guess i will have draw myself out of the "usual crowd" before we become friends, right?

Also no hard feelings, eh?

Ok, that make sense.

Yes i admit that I'm not a "key member" on these forums, i agree with you on that. So what do you want me to do? Walk around and praise myself saying i am? You may not notice i'm gone, but others will. That's all that counts.

And how would you know that i'm not trying to be a key member? you don't see me as a person, just another username. If you want to truly respect me, and i in you, going around and "waving our certificates of achievement" won't do anything. We need to learn more about each other, not by spectating on the forums, but conversing right here, the vms.

This is how you get to know someone. Sure i respect those who show merit, and such examples are the staff members... there's a reason why they are where they are.

Take Misty for example. You may see her for her accomplishments as an Administrator and you deem her worthy to be your "friend." (Only because she "belongs here and she is highly regarded.") I am friends with her because of the true meaning of friendship. She is a respectable person indeed. Not because she sees "candidates or potential interests" as worthy to be friends, but because she is a friend to them. She is a role model for most of us, to be there and just have fun with others. In turn, we care for others and show them kindness. Such is the example of the newest members. They may not have the works to show you to respect them, but they have just as much feelings as the rest of us.

The term Friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. There is a difference between respect and friendship. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. So clearly we are not seeing eye to eye.

Essentially, every single one of those people in your friend list, are not your friends. they are on your Respect list. (Or at least that how you make it sound.)

I am not seeking your respect, all i ask is your friendship. If that isn't good enough, then i guess the problem isn't me, Makaze... You may think that you are brilliant with your use of words and your mind, after all, the mind for you is a playground. I'm here to play games, but not with you. so if you don't think i'm not interesting enough to be respected, then so be it.

I don't hate you, nor do i despise you. There are just some differences in our rationale. but that doesn't mean i can't be on your "respect list." Hahaa! And that doesn't mean there's no room for you in my friends list. Each one of my friends i pick wisely. (That may sound redundant from my essay of a vm, but...) It's not because they have my respect, but because i see they have a potential of mutual friendship. I see it in you. I just hope you come to terms to see it too...

People who stand out most are those who will make a difference in others' lives. Such would include people you care for others.

i understand that is a generalization, but if you really wanted me to name specifics, then this vm would never diminish for there are many kind people on here.

I do not own the place, if i did, my username would be administrator blue... I do not regulate others to see whether or not they are worthy of my consent. I am merely "showing you your reflection in a mirror" if you will. You judge people and do not see them as worthy, and when i say the same to you, you assume i act like i own the place. That is undeniable proof of your disgust.

I do not desire to argue with you, it's not worth having any negative feelings towards each other... i'd say we forget these "scrimmages" and start anew. Unless you pleasure in reminiscing of past affairs...
