Just a note guys and gals about me and my responses

[Tracy]

For those that may not know me, this if for your attention. I should note, I have had a few comments that I need to apparently be more politically correct.

I'm extremely blunt (after many years in law enforcement and dealing with reality I ceased being politically correct) and will NOT apologize for that. I earned that right after dealing with what most would run from.

You may not like the way I phrase things.. but overlook the language context and delve into the content of what is said if you have the intestinal fortitude to do so and debate me on facts and not your feelings.

Long ago I left the realm of appeasing folks finer sensibilities. I tend to speak in a very blunt format. Unluckily many cannot handle that as their, according to certain political sects, feelers get hurt by the bluntness. And honestly.. I'm not on this glorious ball of mud we were gifted to make you feel good. Again, I want to empasize that after walking our wonderful dirt ball for over 6 decades, I'm not here to make you feel all warm and fuzzy. For some strange reason, there are certain members of society that can't deal with bluntness. They apparently have to have anything dealing with confrontation with them "prettified". Sorry... I'm not the one to do that for you.

My ultimate goal is to get you to actually think. Overlook the phraseology and delve into the meaning itself.

The only reason I am commenting on this is I have received a few emails complaining that I am not "politically correct' and they apparently have issues with my taking certain stances.

And yes, I'm pretty sure it is from this site as it's the primary email address I use for it. I only use this email address on a few other sites, and none of them involve content that was commented on. Several of the comments have come in via the Contact Us interface on my site. Between the comments and the content I can only assume they come from users here.

Ultimately.. if you don't like what I post... feel free to place me on ignore. It's not going to hurt my feelings and it may actually negatively impact you, especially if you run XF.

That's strange because I defended Elon Musk's lack of censorship (unless directed at Elon himself, lol) and got no emails.

I have no problems with you Tracy. You shouldn't have to censor yourself either, which honestly you never came off as rude to me anyways. Maybe you upset some Xenforo fans and they got butthurt who knows? xD Either way, I haven't seen you break any rules here. So whoever has a problem with you can just ignore your posts instead of sending emails.

I've never had a problem with how you write You're very impassioned and it comes out in your language, but your underlying critique is usually well meaning.

 

[Jason]

OK, I see what is going on. Some people are emailing him cause they were offended, but it wasn't staff from this forum.

Nope, not staff, and the majority of them were "anonymous" with several done through the contact us on my site.
Figuring my email out probably wasn't hard since I use my name here and my domain is known. And the comments appeared to involved posts I've made here due to the content references.
Not a big deal, but was getting a little aggravated about it. I do participate on other web sites... but I generally am not excessively active on them.

I find the best thing to do in situations such as this is to block, ignore and move on. By making this thread you’re flying in the face of your own advice. To quote: “feel free to place [them] on ignore.”

Also, just one thing. The users here will not have access to your email address. Only the admin does. @joelr - have you been sending poisoned pen letters!? 😮
