I've learned quite a bit about many subjects in here. Plus, its been a good place to work on communication skills, dealing with difficult people, discussing the points not the person.

Re: The Backroom
Same here. If it wasn't for the backroom a lot of real people would have headaches every day because of me. But here I'm harmless, because no one minds internet people(like me).Originally Posted by ichi
Thanks for helping me behave guys(well some of you).
Re: The Backroom
Nobody minds, he says, with a warning level of 8 and 1 ban to his name. All kidding aside, I think you're a prime example. When you first started posting in the Backroom, you were downright antagonistic, to the point of being threatening. Then you matured to the level of just attacking people verbally. Now, when your claws are out so to speak, you just tend to be snide (something I'm rather prone to myself).Same here.

I've noted a few exceptions, but for the most part, even people I radically disagree with *cough* Jag *cough*, I can see my position from their point of view, and it would appear that this is fairly common among regular backroom participants. Okay, nobody's quite figured out life from Navaros' viewpoint, but I will say, I've at least progressed to a point where I no longer doubt HE at least believes what he says (for a long time, I thought he was on a constant troll).

Ohh Donny Donny Donny...what a wicked sense of humour you acquired in the backroom....you minx you
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: The Backroom
Everything I've posted here has been indisputable and anyone who disagrees can go screw.
On a more serious note, politices are inherently stupid. Without tit for tat and personal attacks they'd be boring on top of that. I guess that's why here's alright, even if the typical subjects remain shallow and rhetorical.

Re: The Backroom
I've certainly learned a lot.
People like Ichi and Big John have served to influence my thoughts, as they seem quite careful and conscientious in their thinking. I tend to respect that more than the views of those who are convinced that they "know it all" and/or are unwilling to incorporate new information.
