Contraversial thread
I'm actually a little perturbed if i'm brutally honest. It seems every time i speak on these boards of late all i get is abuse. If you just look around at all the other threads then just see how many of them are on par with mine. Alot of people explain about their day, something that has happened and how they're feeling. I do the same and get told to get a blog. The thing is, after saying something that has happened i always like to inject a question or two into my threads to see if someone else has done the same thing or is interested in the same things. Which i believe to be appropriate use of this social board. Many users seem to overlook the main thoughts of my posts or threads and make it out to be all 'me me me' which makes me look like a vein and selfish person. They way i try to provoke a response in a thread is take something that i know of, or have experience or something i am interested in, talk of my own experience and see if others can talk of theirs. Obviously there are exceptions, but the majority of the time that is what i do.
I don't like being made out to be a self centred person, because quite frankly i'm the opposite. Y'know, i devoted about 8 months over the last 12 to charity work. Raising £3000 and then building things over seas and helping others and interracting with people and teaching etc. I also help disabled people ski every month AND i've pulled three people out of water who were drowning. I just don't like being branded as the stupid guy who talks about himself all the time.
Quite a pathetic thread to be honest, and i realise that, but it's just something which has been bugging me a little.
