Lose My Cool
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was a little shocked when the news broke yesterday that Chris Brown was arrested for felony assault on a female. Oddly enough, I had already pre-written a post for today’s topic that had been suggested by one of our readers (shout to Mr. M!) about this very thing.
What do you do when someone you are dating loses their cool? Lately, many of us have been dealing with financial stress or job losses (or the fear of losing one). What happens when it becomes a bit much, just as you are building a relationship? Do you reveal your frustrations to the person or bail out of the dating relationship?
Chris Brown is accused of channeling Ike Turner on Rhianna is an extreme example, but what do you do if someone you like snaps on you? What if they raise their voice, try to take their frustration out on you? What if they revealed a temper that literally shocked you? What do you do? Is it a deal breaker automatically?
Do you have a temper? If so, how does that impact your dating? Do you warn the people you are seeing about it?
Happy Monday!

Morning I’m a really laid back guy. It takes a WHOLE lot to push me to the limit. On the flip side, I’ve seen chicks completely lose it in a moment’s notice. I’ll usually throw up the deuces at that point. How was everyone’s weekend?

I don’t have a temper, I am pretty soft-spoken. I also don’t like when people yell or raise their voice at me. I guess I am just sensitive in that way.
The Grammy’s were actually pretty good. I have two aunts who sing back up for Neil Diamond and their performance was great. I hope everything works out for Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Morning folks, it’s promising to be a great day outside!!
Off Topic: Are the Grammy’s getting worse and worse every year or what?
On Topic: If a guy goes spaz on me he can expect to get it back and in a much bigger dose. It’s just so uncalled for and it would reveal to me alot about his character. I’ve never, ever had that to happen, so clearly I don’t antagonize that type of behavior. It would be more than clear that he has some issues and would need to kick rocks.
Domestic abuse is ABSOLUTELY NOT cool under any circumstances. You should be able to control yourself better even if you can’t do anything about the situation.

Do you have a temper? Yes, I do.
If so, how does that impact your dating? Do you warn the people you are seeing about it?
No, it doesn’t impact my dating. If asked, I do tell folks that I have a temper that you don’t want to see. But, you really have to push me to the breaking point in order to see Ms. Hyde. I also offer them a verbal warning. I’ll even count to 10 before I turn colors and break out of my clothes.

*Bit-O-Hunny * First you say…..”If a guy goes spaz on me he can expect to get it back and in a much bigger dose. It’s just so uncalled for and it would reveal to me alot about his character.”
then, you said “Domestic abuse is ABSOLUTELY NOT cool under any circumstances. You should be able to control yourself better even if you can’t do anything about the situation.”
You can’t have it both ways. If you return the “spaz” you are as guilty as the person who “spazed” on you. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.

If u get herpes from said person as we hear Chris may have,losing ur cool is more than warranted! Its justified.There is nothing as dangerous as suppressing human feelings because the day that anger explodes due to inadequate space inside,the consequences may be too ghastly to contemplate.I dont mind u losing ur cool.It shows u are human.What u do after u lose ur cool is whats more important.

Good Morning All,
Okay first off I could care less about Chris Brown, but I would like to ask how do you know its Rihanna, last report I read the victim was not identified..because of domestic violence laws.
I don’t have a temper but my threshold for bs is pretty low. And I notice and was told recently I have a habit of tuning people out or being dismissive. It is nothing personal but time is valuable and I don’t really want to spend precious amounts of it wading through crap. I am going to call this “power” my bs filter. Anywhoo..It takes alot to push me high and to the left..but when I do go there normally all contact is dropped. Now if I am stressed out I try to vent it out as much as possible so that I can get the stress monkey off of my back. Normally I do that with friends and family but even that I am limiting and learning to channel that energy somewhere else. No one wants to be a garbage can for other’s trash.

There is no excuse for an assault, whether or not the chick gave him a dose of whatever. He could be more discriminating about where he puts it.
Chicks that have acted out in extreme ways on me in the past have gotten dumped. I don’t have a lot of patience for that kind of attitude. They come on with the headstrong, fierce independence as an excuse to be a beeyotch. Some even dare to hit, knowing full well I’d not fight back — any man that strikes a woman is not a man. Period.

There is a vast difference between a personality that is prone to highly negative behaviors in a relationship as a regular pattern of emotional expression vs. a highly stressed moment of loosing it under such duress…as with all things, communicative interaction is key to understanding where anyone is at any given point in time.
I posted the above link because the subject of emotional abuse was posted as a facebook note and it encouraged a wide variety of dialogue from many different ppl…I thought that is might be of interest along with today’s topic because it really can be enlightening to understand how this form of abuse behaves and when it is present…something to think about.

I have a temper and I tell any chick I deal with that I do. If she tries me this tells me either she doesn’t believe me, she thinks she’s exempt or she thinks her nuts are bigger than mine. The last two are false assumptions.
I MUST have the soft hearted type woman that would rather laugh and talk than argue, like last gf. It costs to much to date a chick with alot of lip.

dumping them is not adequate reward! If somebody strikes u,strike them back and harder as a deterrent.They wont need to resort to that after that ish is settled.A man gotta make a stand and defend themselves.But striking a woman 1st wld be deplorable.I wld not do it.

I am definately a humble and laid back person. I prefer not to raise my voice or argue and I expect the same in return. So I have no temper. We are all adults, so we can discuss things in a orderly fashion. The thing that is unfortunate is that guys usually get the bad rap for the domestic violence, but there are some women out here that take on the role of the abusers also.

Good morning, all
Unfortunately, I am not surprised about this at all. Everybody has the basic human fight or flight response to stress. The human body does not like stress and generally will do what is necessary (either fight or leave the situation) to relieve itself of the stress. Being in the legal world, I get daily reminders that there is a dark side in everyone.

The last few articles have named Rihanna in them, including E online. I questioned the identity thing, too. Now, I have about 5 million copies of the E online article in my box. It was the same article that was read on the Steve Harvey show today. You know journalist don’t care about the law or respecting an alleged victim or suspect until you ask them to reveal their sources. Then, they are quick to throw out first amendment rights and others.
On topic
I have a horrible temper. As a football player, it was useful. Football is a violent sport.
As far as the real world, I have one iron clad rule that applied to everyone including my wife. That rule is as follows: If you have an issue, don’t come screaming and yelling to me. Most of the females before the wife, violated that rule multiple times. The wife has only done it once in over 10 years. I never hit any female, but I calmly get my keys, my hat, and got to stepping. Even with the wife, I left and went bowling at the alley in the Monroe Drive area.
Then we talked afterwards. It is better that I leave than chop her in the throat.

I know that I have a temper that once riled it not a nice piece of work…hence, then nickname Tasmanian Devil…lol…but it is a slow burning fuse…I will make all necessary attempts to verbally communicate my concerns with as much rational articulation as possible… and if I have been quite transparent with another person about whatever issue could cause me to snap into a behavioral malfunction, then I expect a mutually abiding nondisrespect concerning those areas…as I would allow to be given as well to another person…but I have learned that if all of my attempts to address any of these areas is dismissed, challenged, coerced…then see ya…no need to feed from the that well of potential aggravation…in the end, what I have also learned in life is how it is my responsibility to define and then maintain the boundaries that push, cross or impose upon that certain threshold that could rile my anger.

Having a temper is fine; loosing your temper is fine. However, you lay ONE hand on me, and that will be the LAST time you see me!!!!!! I have numerous family members in law enforcement, so you best be careful with this lady.
I will not tolerate it at all. I don’t deserve it, and no one should hit another person, animal, etc. at all. There is absolutely NO reason to hit another person, NONE, ZIP, NIL, NADA. There are other ways to deal with your anger or whatever.
If you feel the need to hit someone, hit yourself.

As for losing my cool, I’ve lost it before and I’ll prolly lose it again. I had to take anger management class to learn to get a grip and not take it there even when I’m provoked. Nowadays I walk away even when the bs gets thick evaluate the situation and take a different reasonable approach.

Hey M’Karyl…the kid has a temper and I don’t know how/what gets him to those pressure points (I’ve only seen it come to full fruition once)…When you mentioned, that when someone dismiss/challenges you to a ill-mannered behavior, it reminded me of the time the kid punch a lil boy in the eye at school and he found no fowl nor harm in doing it. Once he pleaded is case/reason for doing it he looks at you as if “yea I did it”.

Morning Blog Gang Hope everyone had a good weekend. It certainly was beautiful.
I have a half sister who is about 14 years older than me. She had a boyfriend/baby daddy that abused her the entire 20 years they “dated”. He even hit her in the mouth a few days after she gave birth. Dad told him he was not welcome in our home. Growing up seeing that I vowed never to allow someone to treat me that way.
My first serious boyfriend used to see just how far he could push me with the psychological abuse. I was young green and easy-going and put up with far more than I should have. One day he decided to try getting physical. Thats when he got a side of me he did not bank on. We were in a hotel room arguing about something. He grabbed my upper arm and jerked me hard. I went balistic. He had to push me off of him because I was hitting him for all I was worth. I then sat down, took a deep breath and picked up one of my shoes and went at it again on him. He looked genuinely surprised and scared of me and told me I was a crazy b——! But he never laid a hand on me again.
I am an extremely calm person, in fact I think I hold my emotions in a little to much. I am working on speaking up better and getting out my feelings. But I don’t go around picking fights and hitting on people. I don’t provoke dudes. I’ve cussed a few out pretty good but that was after they had pushed me to that point. I am certainly not an angel or perfect and I’m sure I may have made a few mad, in fact I know I have. Never did anything to the point where they should have felt they had to hit me. Abuse of any kind will not be tolerated. If you’ve got a temper, you need to control it around me & mine or you will not be welcome in our presense.

laceitup - No, in fact he had to be kept from killing him. She could not bring him over to the house, but he could not stop her from seeing her once she moved out. And she had met him in college, where she stayed on campus. She got her own place soon after graduating.

Its that graveyard love..and frankly its stronger than anything I have seen. I have had friends who have called when they had the tar beat out of them and when you mention breaking up they get mad and want to fight you. The idea of leaving is something that they are not ready to deal with at the time and no amount of begging, hand-holding will help. Heck we have all seen the show cops where the po-po is dragging off Billy Ray after he just whipped Lola’s tail and she is fighting the po-po’s screaming “Don’t take my man.”

For those that say no person should be struck you need to get your head out your azz. There are plenty of times that nothing less than a severe azz wupping is in order.
ABC if you let a chick hit you you are the true definition of a puzzy. Thats the stupidest shyt I’ve ever heard. Sometimes being highminded is just plain cowardly.
Here’s the rule. When in a hostile enviroment either leave or react with hostility. Thing is if a chick makes you swallow your nuts dont come back because she is going to wear your azz out daily for being a punk.

Morning folks!
Sup Wise! Good topic.
I hope Chris Brown didn’t whup up on Rihanna or any other chick cuz not only do I believe hitting a woman is wrong but it probably would ruin his career. Being that he’s marketed as a teen idol to young girls. That goes down the toilet if he’s beat a chick down.
I don’t believe in hitting a woman. Any real man should be able to defend himself from the average chick trying to hit him. Now if you dating a much above average chick, that’s taller, bigger and stronger than you and she’s dropping b’s on u then yeah I can see a dude laying hands on her to defend himself. Or if any chick got a knife or some other dangerous weapon and is coming at you then you gotta do what you gotta do to defend yourself.

The issues of violent behaviors can go both ways…there are just as many ppl who will engage in behaviors to intentionally push a person’s buttons to anger as well…I have experienced this with ppl too…some ppl will go out of his/her way to make another person angry…and then when the situation has escalated to the point of behavior malfunctions as a recourse, then the person want to say “All I said was…All I did was…and then they just got angry”…I can not and will not deal with ppl of that ilk…including family…my dislike for that type of behavior allows for a zero tolerance of it…instigate your own arse whuppin or cursin…and then act as if you did nothing wrong…hey-ale to the naw!!!

Kimmie your sister sounds like alot of chicks that wont be with a dude unless he tears that azz up. Had a neighbor like that growing up. She knew if she said certain things to that dude he’d go off. sure nuff she said them about once a month and he would beat that chick mercilessly. Next month same thing. My mom and I watched it happen time and again. Moms told me some women just need that reminder.
Dreams the weather was nice all weekend. I may take head downtown myself.
ABC I had to reread your post again to make sure I wasn’t being to harsh. I wasnt. That is repulsive. Don’t go to jail, you’re gonna get passed around like old linen.
Humans have a natural desire to protect themselves. What the fugg are you?
A morning joke to lighten the mood.
A little old Jewish man is walking down the street one afternoon when he sees a woman with perfect breasts.
He says to her, ‘Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for $100?’ ‘Are you nuts?!!!’ she replies, and keeps walking away. He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before she does.
‘Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars?’ he asks again.
‘Listen you; I’m not that kind of woman! Got it?’
So the little old Jewish man runs around the next block and faces her again:
‘Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000 dollars?’
She thinks about it for a while and says, ‘Hmmm, $10,000 dollars; Ok, just once, but not here. Let’s go to that dark alley over there.’
So they go into the alley, where she takes off her blouse to reveal the most perfect breasts in the world. As soon as he sees them, he grabs them and starts caressing them, fondling them slowly, kissing them, licking them, burying his face in them, but not biting them.
The woman finally gets annoyed and asks, ‘Well? Are you gonna bite them or not?’
‘Nah’, says the little old Jewish man… ‘Costs too much…’

M’karyl- Concerning your 11:10 - I agree. No need to provoke someone, that mess is not cute.
Truth - I would not say she needs someone to beat her, though I have known of women like that. Some think the dude does not love them if they don’t hit them, go figure! I don’t know about the provoking in her case, though even with that you need to walk away if someone sets you off that bad. I do know that dude is an older guy who was divorced, according to his ex wife he abused her too.

hello poppabear!
ppl don’t know it, but if i was triflin’ i could do the same as her.
i have a mother who will do anything for me. anything. if i didn’t want to work or feed my boys, she would. i can pimp her out of ALL HER MONEY if i wanted to.
i believe that because she is that way and i’m a caring person, i can’t stoop that low. my boys try her and take advantage of her every chance they get. when i find out … i betta not find out!
that mother is just done. like someone said above, stick a fork in it. mothers today do too much in my opinion. my boys are aware of what is expected of them at certain ages. no exceptions, no excuses. i’m not supporting you. you can call mom for advice. use it as you see fit.

I really haven’t been following the story, but she was on the Today show (and the cameras went to the hospital and showed the babies). When asked how she would take care of the kids, she answer “the best that I can”. That was it.
MK
I imagine that society will have to pick up the medical bills. Two weeks (& counting) of hospital stay for eight babies. Specialized care at that. I guess that California has some kind of medicare for kids like Georgia’s Peachcare.

Now I know I have a serious temper and I have worked through the years to control it and I have. But I have never hit a guy I was with. I one try with me when I was 16..and I do not think he can make babies today and I think he still has a phobia of pencils. There is NO EXCUSE for a man to put his hands on a woman and vice versa. But more so…a man that hits a woman is a punk.However…if that woman is hitting him and he has not touched her…knock her azz out just like a dude. If she is bucking on you then she had better have means to back it up! But for a man to just hit a woman because he feels it is ok or justified without the threat of physical harm to himself is a dude who shoudl be put in jail with Lifers who will make a b*tch out of him!
Now these dumb chicks who stay with a man who beats them deserves it. You are a grown woman and you make your own decisions. the first tiem it happens, I sympathize….as long as you leave him. But if you go back he knows he can do it againa dn will do so. So don’t expect sympathy for me. But I can’t stand the wimpy ones who claim, “oh but I love him”! Wake up dumb azz…he DOES NOT love you if he hurts you. It’s ok to love him but have some self respect and pride enough to love yourself more and leave that loser! That is just as bad as taking back a dude who cheats on you and then wonders why he continues to do so. Hello dummy…he knows what you will allow him to do know. So when you find out you got an STD blame yourself for staying wiith a man you know has no problem wiht cheating on you! No sympathy for the weak…in mind, body or spirit!
Blow Me You are a a M.I.A fan too? I have loved her since like 2005. I belly dance or Bhangra dance to a lot of her music. dShe is just now geting her props because Jim Jones & T.I sampled her song Paper Planes.

No doubt that the cost for the NICU will be forwarded on to the state…I read that she had just completed a BA in Early and Adolescent Development in 2K6 and that she was working towards her Master’s at the time that she decided to conceive…it seems that her remaining embryos were at the limit where they needed to be used or destroyed…she did not want to destroy them, so she decided to use in vitro again with this last batch of embryos…and as chance would have it, all of them took…she had the option, as was recommended by her doctor and her mother, to abort some of the embryo/fetuses…but she refused to do so…insisting on carrying all of the fertilizd eggs to term…and what also is not sitting well with me is how the doctor who performed the procedure is not being held under high scrutiny for questionable violation of ethical practices…WTF…it is not the physician’s job nor responsibility to dictate what a otherwise physically heathly and able woman should do with her body…the accountability for the decisions are not incumbent on the health care professional who provided the services for in vitro…and whatever issues of risk became evident, it seemed to be addressed when it was highly recommended that she abort some of the fertilized eggs…and she choose not to do so.

That chick with the 8 octupulets is a certifiable nut! Already have six kids, no job nor prospects for one, no apparent desire to get one, no husband/boyfriend to help in supporting and rearing the kids and she’s freeloading off of her momma.
U can bet the state is going have to take care of her and those kids. He’ll they’ll probably have to give her at least 2 grand a month in foodstamps alone with that team she has. They state oughta require her to get monthly mental evaluations.
I’m not for a socialist state but the gub need to be able to step in and order procedures for nuts like her not to be able to have any more kids.

Poppa and Swiss Apparently the daddy for all 14 is this one guy. He is the sperm donor for all the children. I don’t think she is a sociopath..under the correct defintion but I do think she has some issues. The doctor can not be held to malpractice(defense lawyer side kicking in) he did nothing wrong. He provided her with proper medical advice and she did not take it.-You are not mandated to take your doctor’s advice. As long as that doctor CYA his own azz(paper trail)then everyone needs to fall back off of him or her. Look all this is hindsight. The babies are here..she will get WIC for formula, a show on Discovery(like the Duggers) and no matter what G-Mama says she is going to help her with the babies. Now the state can do one of two things. Take the kids and pay. Or let her keep the kids and pay. Either way..what’s done is done.

You are welcome…it was shared with via FB…and I found it worth passing along…I believe, and have for some time, that this is one of the most under-recognized and often overlooked forms of abuse…since it is a verbal/psychological/emotion form and it does not leave any physical indications, many ppl do not recognize it as a valid and veritable form of abuse…and more often than not it is what can actually be the predecessor to the physical forms of abuse as well…and while most physical abuse happens within families or couple relationships…this type can occur in almost any type of relationship exchange…friends, acquaintances, co-workers, etc.

Hence my 12:10. Just because the damage is done doesn’t mean that it wasn’t selfish act.
I don’t think that the doctor should (or could) be held liable as long as he/she documented that the risks were communicated.
She may get a TV show or she may not. Say what you will about the Duggers, but they are not a one parent household. As much as I dislike reality TV, there isn’t alot of one parent household things shown on it. Reality shows promote a lot of craziness, but for some reason, one parent households aren’t one of them. I don’t care if it parent swap or whatever, you usually see two parents in the picture somehow.

I was sooo terrified because I had never seen him this angry in the 3 1/2 yrs that I dated him on and off. He has really scarred me for life and I will never go back to him.

@VOA Kudos to you for getting out of that abusive situation…but please forgive me for asking…why did you stay? I grew up watcing my parents fight when I was too young to intervene and then once I was older I sometimes stood between them to stop a fight from happening. Eventually my parents divorced and all the while my mother continually instilled in me two mantras: 1. You must always go to school and 2. Don’t depend on a man for your needs you must be self sufficient. She also led by example by going back to school herself just before and continuing after her divorce.
With that being said I made it a point to be independent and put myself through college. But I once found myself in a relationship with someone who wanted to control me and my every move and I wasn’t having it. One day he put his hands on me and we were in my apartment moving furniture all around that biotch…cause I thought I had lost my everlasting mind. Needless to say I broke up with him and I couldn’t have been happier.
I must also admit that there have been times that I wanted to pimp slap my ex(before he was my ex of course) and I had to catch myself. Honestly, I know I have violent tendencies but have done well keeping it under wraps but sometimes my hand itches hell-a-bad and I feel like asking for some baby powder. Keep me near the cross Lawd.

On Topic
Hmmmm…of course, with each situation being different, they were not all handled the exact same way. It all depends on who this person is in my life and what they represent, to include the circumstances.
Initially, I will try to keep my composure and maintain a pretty calm demeanor…for as long as I possibly can, but if I feel threatened in any way that has the potential to cause bodily harm, I WILL DEFEND MYSELF…and without calling the authorities (as one particular scenario comes to mind). And no, I do not go around challenging and/or provoking folks in order to get shyt started…and this also goes for public outburst aka showin’ out.
Any disagreements, arguments, etc…will stay between me and THE MAN, although, I am really not for confrontations.
On another note, some people, depending on the dicussion, scenario, etc…are just a bit more tender hearted than others. And unfortunately, some may not be aware of one’s emotions being put into the mix, until it all hits the fan. However, I’ve experienced one case scenario in particular that shocked the heyal outta me; especially being that the individual came across totally different, while in a whole “nother “ environment.
Now this is definitely something that I have a low tolerance for….folks who put on. So being that I was totally caught off guard, as I saw no reason to have them up….HEYAL YEAH!…this type of behavior disgusts me. All I ask is that one maintains the same level of consistency. That way, I know what to expect, therefore…it’s all on me. Mind you, this was a friendship based relationship. So being there was a lot that had been divulged on both ends, not to mention having a lot in common, again, I was extremely baffled.
Therefore,when the convo began to transform itself into useless banter, voices being raised, subliminal, snide comments…without being adult enough to plainly say…or my favorite: Bringing it to the Wood whereas, I’m pulling teeth trying to get to the bottom of the situation at hand, yes, this scenario has FULL POTENTIAL to swing to the left…and everything will be laid out on the table… and I mean everything.
So while I have shown the ability to pull out of any situation, just as quick as I found myself in one, if this person has shown me there not adult enough to contribute to finding a resolution with our differences, without going back and forth…Then it’s pretty much a wrap, and there is nothing left to be said; and unfortunately, we’ve reached the point of no return. Game over.

WD As I’ve already and repeatedly stated, I’m not one to put on…whether in cyberspace or in person. While I can understand where you are coming from, does not necessarily mean that I agree. Especially since you are selective with whom you “chastise” in here. I have noticed moments where you obviously decided to turn a blind eye to other veterans and/or newcomers outlandish posts. But hey, like the saying goes…” it’s your party, and you can cry if you want to”.
I for one believe there is a difference in polite disagreement versus forcing your own opinions on someone. To receive a response regarding a blogger’s post, does not necessarily mean the message was taken personal…at least to those who don’t bring their feelings into it. Therefore, anything posted in here should not be taken personally, but since words on a screen lack tone, it’s no surprise that one would.
And IMO, there is nothing wrong with choosing to go against the grain, instead of hopping on the bandwagon with the masses. Being that this happens to be an open forum, there are sure to be moments when someone will choose to keep their opinions to themselves, while on other days, they may feel and/or compelled to share them. After all, MIA would not be much of a “hotspot” to gather while at work (for many), if it were not for the opinions, ideas and other countless banter, thus keeping you in the business. Just sayin, however, I meant it…
Last I heard, this is not the kind of place that you’d want to bring your feelings into. However, I realize that I was not the first, and I’m certain that I will not be the last.
Nevertheless, I do appreciate your friendly and final reminder. And with that, (Again), allow me to be the first to send you my IP address… I insist. This is definitely not a problem. What is your email?…or rather, since you have mine, a test email would suffice and save your IT crew a great deal of time.

Fair enough, FYI..it is never my intention to be selective. Many days I don’t get the opportunity, I have been in meetings a lot, lately.
I also agree with you on debating. I don’t want to make the blog a head nodding convention, that would be DULL. The great thing about the comments is that it is diverse, and come from different perspectives.
At the same time, I don’t want things to get progressively worse in how we interact. I try to not jump on every little thing, but it’s a slippery slope some days.
I think the sniper comments (people who never contribute, yet like to shoot verbal bullets at those that do) as well as the unnecessary roughness from the regular blog cast ALL have a tendency to go too far.
At the end of the day, all I want is for us to be adult about it. I have argued and debated with people on here before too, so I know how heated it can get. So, going forward, I hope the MIA blog can continue to be a place where people enjoy the dialogue, and I will be be more responsive when things start coming undone. Thank you!

Did he really have to fly down there with a neurosurgeon and all?(per V103/Ms.Sophia) I always thought that she was a mistake as well but hell who knows…maybe she has that thayow or that ooowweeee.

I read the article about Chris Brown and the thing that jumps out is, he is only 19 years old. 19 years old with tons of money and thousands of people telling him how great he is all the time. You can bet he is going to make a lot of lousy decisions.

Interesting point there…
M’karyl
This recent scenario in some ways, are similar to your stance with that ATL dude, whom you ref’d to as O’fay. Which at times became personal and racists…okay, so you as well as some of us went left at one time or another. But that does not take away from what was contributed on a postive note.
However, it’s put on front street when a particular blogger goes into “left field”. IMO, Oh girl was no more/less out of line then I was. But hey, that’s my opinion.
There are times when some of us contribute in a positive manner towards the discussion and there WILL be other moments when things shift left. No one person is more/less accountible for their actions than the next.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s done.
However, I see that it has somewhat inspired today’s topic (which I am not surprised). So, the resurrection has begun, but not on my account.
WD Agreed. And for the most part, regardless of the rough blog days, it seems folks pretty much still enjoy this spot… you see they keep showing up, taking roll call, etc.. so apparently that’s not effecting the daily post count. So how about that email?
Otherwise, I’m totally through with this discussion on here… since Friday.

But yeah its your world…you know how to find me to banned me if you feel the need. But I’ll be damn if I am going to change up my blog personality because someone has their thong in a bunch or got their feelings hurt. Here are a few phrases to borrow when needed ..
1.Grow a pair 2.Get thicker skin 3.Shake it off 4.He/She gonna cry in the car 5.Pull your boxers, panties, and or thong up. If neither then go back to phrase one. 6.In time it wont matter anymore anyway.

I just think that we are all being asked to engage in a less caustic, vitrolic and hostile exchange on this blog…for the sake of keeping the blog up and running…some days we can get way over the top out of control here…I believe that WD is attempting to let ppl know that some more stringent rules are coming into play and whether she wants to do so or not, any infringement of them will mean that ppl will be immediately banned without exception…so it is a fair warning that if we wish to continue participating in the venue,then we must also recognize our ouwn behaviors and govern ourselves accordingly…and I include myself in that fair warning…I do not need her to spell my name out as one who needs to check herself as well…I already now this.

First, she started with the I am sick and tired of picking up behind you and your kids (like they aren’t her kids as well) and that went on for about an hour. So I ask her if it was that time of the month and she went off again. I thought it was funny, so I started laughing histerically and she was steaming. Then my youngest son did the #2 in the bathroom downstairs and my wife went in the bathroom shortly after(she had been upstairs taking out her weave or something) and the next thing I know she comes running out the bathroom with her sticking up looking crazy as h3ll saying who left this s%%t stain in the toliet.

Keep in mind, I have invested a solid 3 plus years on the forum, admittedly, I am protective of the “integrity” here, mainly because it was, I believe the first blog featured on the website. So, there is a bit of us trying to set the tone, so to speak.

Odd how things are now being regulated when since both Rell and Truth made their entrance, they’ve been calling folks bishes at any given “they got crossed” moment. No holding back, no skirting. They don’t like something a woman says, it’s straight to name calling and I believe bish at that. I have yet to see either one of them addressed and asked to tone it down a bit…esp Rell. We all know if you don’t agree with him it’s bish right off the bat. But now folks are being asked to simmer down. Incredible.

I have definitely been with guys who have a temper, and I have one too, but anger management helped me through that. I don’t put up with any bull from any one, and that is always known up front. I have no time for foolishness and stupidity. I have been in abusive relationships and it is never worth it staying with any man who puts his hands on you like that; he will eventually end up seriously injuring you or even worse, killing you. And besides, these days if I am involved with someone who even raises his voice at me, I am out the door—I deserve better than that, I feel. If Rhianna is smart, and I hope she is, she will not settle for someone like Chris Brown and will find her someone who is actually worth her time. They are both too young to be focusing on a relationship anyway; young people like myself should grow a little, live a little, examine ourselves and our lives repeatedly, and then maybe we can be a great asset to someone one day—they’re babies for God’s sake—focus on something else!!

When ppl have disagreements it’s not up to the contesting individual to dictate how a person proceeds on how the other persons truth is, really. We all need to be care of that/ or don’t deal. The famous word in the book says…be careful for nothin…..

I’ve it said before; “When your own truth is not relative to someone else’s, it’s contested”.
When ppl have disagreements it’s not up to the contesting individual to dictate how a person proceeds on how the other person’s truth is, really. We all need to be careful of that/ or don’t deal. The famous word in the book says…be careful for nothin…..
That’s pretty much how I do me….jus keep it movin’.

wow, M’Karyl, sending her positive thoughts! I hope she has a speedy recovery.
I forgot to talk about when I lost my cool. After a dinner date, this guy had too much to drink, in my opinion. I asked him for the keys to his truck, he refused to hand them over. umm, lost my cool.

It’s amazing how some of us testify to not having any child-like tendencies about ourselves, but on the other hand we exhibit anything but. Deep sigh…
By assigning ourselves monikers, it enables us to address one another DIRECTLY. Be a grown up for once in this piece and quit actiin’ …by learning how to address someone specifically without the subliminals…how ‘08ish… Grown folks beatin’ ‘round the bush is quite laughable. You’d think we’d able to come through each other’s screens. smh
Staceye Speaking of **Slumdog’s soundtrack”” …I love it! Once I saw the movie, I was on it…I may have to go out and get that.
Raqi I’ll take it as one just being facetious. But in the same breath if one is familiar with how it goes here, you’d be within good reason to assume that the moderator doesn’t just sit back and watch each and every post as they pop up on the screen. Of course, they have other business to take care of besides just sitting here… watching.
However, I think the message is pretty clear with what some here are saying… it has occurred on soooo many occasions or was given the reply of *“Oh, dear..” Huh? But not to the point of banning for some. That is their/my point, I believe.
I do appreciate the heads up to all of us, regarding the new changes. ..for it is known that we are all accountable for what we put out here. But it’s not like we’re straight “gutta” in this piece everyday. ..mannn, we’re nowhere near what it used to be. However, I’m sure we will cross that bridge when we get there.

In point of fact, so-called ‘banning’ mechanisms are not effective for any but the neophyte; supposition that IP addresses can’t be disguised through the use of anonymous proxies and other ways is a misapprehension. Attempts to block someone will likely only result in an admin that will feel like they’re chasing their tail. An open and somewhat anonymous blog is what it is, and moderation is to be expected — but banning? Puh-leeze. Give it a try, I’ll be happy to demonstrate how to circumvent.

Prayers to your mom.
My mom went through surgery and chemotherapy in 2007. She didn’t have to deal with radiation.

yes absolutely..abc, that’s soo not the point though. It’s not even a move we like to do, we shouldn’t have to do it, IMO. If you go through all those efforts to circumvent things…instead of keeping it above board though? just seems rather odd to me.
Leggs, I used some expletives (ok a lot, LOL) and had my finger set on 911 to report him. Nearly lost my parents to a drunk driver, I was not about to sit by and let him do that!

TO EACH’S OWN WHEN REFERRING TO RELATIONSHIPS/COMMUNICATION AND MATTERS OF DEALING WITH UP&DOWNS IN A “TRUE” RELATIONSHIP- NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR ME TO ELABORATE ON MY OPINION! (I HAVE A KNACK FOR WRITING,ENTERTAINMENT,& THEATRE!).. NOW TO MY MOTIVE:IM A 30YO TRUE FAN NOT GROUPIE OF CHRIS BROWN (JANET JACKSON, NEW EDITION,USHER,PATTI LABELLE,ERYKAH BADU,BEYONCE,JAY Z,TUPAC,TI,LIL WAYNE,GOODIE MOB,TLC,ENVOGUE, BROWNSTONE,JADE,UGK,8BALL & MJG,ETC). ANYWAYS, PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING FAIR TO THE CHRIS BROWN/RIHANNA SITUATIION BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS UNKNOWN! WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES; WE ARE ONLY HUMAN! NEGATIVE OPINIONS ARE BEING FORMED ABOUT MR. BROWN, AND WRIGLEYS MIGHT TAKE AWAY HIS ENDORSEMENT DEAL BEHIND THIS RELATIONSHIP/INCIDENT MISHAP. FROM THE BEGINNING, I HAVE THOUGHT THAT RIHANNA & CHRIS WERE TOO YOUNG TO BE INVOLVED IN SUCH A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP, ESPECIALLY TO BE CONSIDERING MARRIAGE!… AND NO, READERS, I’M NOT A HATER , BUT LET’S TAKE IT BACK: {FROM MY PERSPECTIVE OF RIHANNA, STEMMING FROM AN PREVIOUS AWARDS SHOW WHICH SHE SIMULTANEOULSY HELD JAY Z’S HAND & WALKED IN TOW W/ AN UNCOMFORTABLE JIGGA ON STAGE TO ACCEPT HER AWARD; FROM THIS SITUATION SEEMS LIKE RIHANNA WAS TRYING TO STIR UP TROUBLE! ALSO LOOKED LIKE SOLANGE WANTED TO KICK OFF IN HER SHUT YO MOUTH! - LOL…}
