Thursday night rant.... :) (Page 3)

Heh.... 

Woa woa woa ... I wanna go back to the pic Welshy posted ... break me offa piece a dat ... . *snerk!*

Welshy - YOU ROCK.  You're gonna float through this race because you've got a breeze of good thoughts behind you.

ENJOY! 

If I can't provoke Welshy into a tongue lashing, then perhaps I will volunteer for some sort of first aid assignment when he finishes the IM with his tongue hanging out. 

Really, Welshy, you may need some help with that.... 

Post count inflator....

heh - only if you'r doing some recovery work... You're much faster than I....

 But I'll take you up on the vibes, thanks!!!!

Oh no! That medal will be well earned and worthy of a place of honor!  Of course, you could just beat him about the head with it. 

Although, I tend to think the best way to deal with people like this is indifference.  Trolls hate to be ignored.  The live off the negative energy given off by people hating on them back.  They starve if people don't give them any attention. 

You are right about the trolls, but I think this is a little different - I think this individual has a lot of ego tied into his training and feels like his own "accomplishments" are somehow diminished by someone like me who does not train dilligently and is not tv's definition of fit. I threaten that individuals shallow markers of worth. That's fine in and of itself, we all do things for our own reason. The fact that he felt it necessary to take an active roll in damaging my goal for his sake is what I have issue with.

DNF or finish, this is my deal; negativity from someone I don't know is out of place and the hight of arrogance and self centeredness. Having said that, I'm ready to let it go and drop the issue knowing that at least he's gotten the message that that is not what BT is about and hopefully he won't do it to anybody else.

Thanks again for all the support everyone, but let's let this thread die. If anyone want to post something to me, my logs are always open....  

oh, ken: #860. I'll be happy knowing you can track my performance on Sunday. 

Perhaps Ken has more balls than I/we gave him credit for: He owned it. (I rarely check the comment from my personal blog, so it took me a while to get to it).

"I was told once “If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.” Good advice then, and now. No matter what my personal feelings, it was inconsiderate and unnecessary for me to express them to you in such a rude fashion. I hope you’ll accept this apology for my actions.

Ken

Also way to go Welshy.  For not giving up, for not outing Ken, for posting his apology so we can all see that Ken had a bad moment and not a bad character problem.

Love it that this ended on a positive note.   

You're just buttering me up so I'll send more tongue pictures....

Ken - Good on you for owning up and apologizing.

 *tears up* I just love happy endings...

Considering the public whipping that we all (including myself here) gave "Ken", maybe a separate thread with his apology?  Just an idea, this is yours to do with as you see fit. 

Cool of him to man up to it.
