Man it's flat out here!
|
Ralf is a "what you see is what you get" kind of Guy...doesn't leave you trying to guess what's going on. I fine with that...it's the cagey types that are more difficult to deal with...you never know where you stand with them.
What's the T-Shirt they sell around here in the German Food Stores?..."You can tell a German, but you can't tell him much"...there's a grain of thruth there but it's all in fun. Being married to a German for 13+ years I find plenty to like about the "German Mindset". Others may disagree for reasons good and bad. I've not met Ralf personally but I'm fairly confident that if you needed help and he was able to help you he'd be there in a Flash!

My point, and i'm sure you won't "get" this, is that wherein people value and appreciate your technical help, your opinion more often than not, offers no value - in fact usual is only trollish and inflammatory. So, one makes you a welcome person, one makes you a pariah. perhaps when you feel the need to lambaste someone for what you consider buffoonery, you yourself should consider PM's (and I do mean "you") rather than stirring $hit on a obviously public forum. which is probably the desired affect anyway. and as you say, this is just my opinion, but i'm sure it is one that won't change anything here.

Yeah, I should have added that "it seems"... But you are right, it won't change anything, at least not pertaining to me... you are free to think about me whatever you want... I won't argue your opinion, nor does it matter to me in any way. That's not inflammatory, just a fact.

I have met Ralf and he seemed normal to me. Hope that is not an insult.

World would suck w/o people like Ralf
this is not a comment on the person who started this poll but a comment on the reason this poll would even be started. the tally column needs to be "for Ralf" and "Women", not "Losers". it takes iron to sharpen iron.
Wow this forum and this world would suck without people like Ralf. everyone would be: - driving in the left lane - turning left from the right lane w/no oncoming traffic - filling up this forum and others with b.s. It is clear that some people on this forum cause us to think before we post. if that didnt happen, we would all be posting on some gixxer forum or blogging about it.

No try, do or not do
|
please don't mistake Ralf as a catalyst for thought, far from it. more like the censor who pisses on everything, until finally everybody just shuts up for fear of being berated. like i said "he is what he is" provocative? yes, thought provoking? not really

In order to be thought provoking, Jeff... it would take a target that is capable of thinking... clearly not your forte!
So, you are not the right person to judge that, sorry... keep on trying though... it's good start!
