Location: Phoenix AZ | Not sure if I'm alone on this or not. Recently I have gotten some unsolicited offers from OFC members via PM. Not the "hey, do you want a copy of my Doors DVD ..." stuff. But real commercial stuff from peoples business outside of the OFC. I'm not sure how others feel, but I consider this an intrusion (much like spam). Rant over.

Why don't you confront the offending OFC member and ask them point blank why they did it. |

| OK OK I'm sorry it's just you guy's don't never call, and you don't never write anymore either.
And I know for a fact some of you guy's could use some hormone replacement pills! |

Seriously though, not having to worry about crap like that is one more thing that makes the OFC an unusually great place online. |

I really thought you "wanted a good time"! I guess I should stop writing your cell number on truck stop bathroom stalls too.
:D :p :D :p
BTW, how much does it cost you per minute if we call you on your cell while you're in Europe? :D |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Sounds reasonable to me.
Self assesment:
- I do occasionally use obscene language
- Graphic pictures, no exceptfor my Martins
- Graphic expletives? Fu*k yes!
- Personal attacks and slander, yes but not on purpose
- Stay within topic? Rarely
- I'm not a dealer so at least I got one CLEAN mark
- I do gripe, but I am always willing to be part of the solution as long at I'm in the right. |
