I appreciated some lighthearted innuendo, but I often come to TAN, see that's it'd devolved into some release of frustrations of a sexual matter, and don't even bother to contribute. In my opinion, it goes overboard and out of my comfort zone. If that's how it goes, then ok. But, add me in to the sea of voices who are kind of turned off by that whole thing. That's how I feel too. And BTW ... I'm TJ, I live in Tucson too! How are you liking it so far? Loving it! Joined the Tucson TriGirls this week. Seems like a fun bunch! |

I don't love that I've been lumped into the group of people who take the innuendo too far, so let me be the first to say if I've ever made anyone uncomfortable, I am absolutely sorry for that. I will also throw it out there that I've had private conversations with other members of TAN about some of my comments, and have recently tried to just be a silly shameless flirt, but to be very aware of not crossing any sort of line. I hope that if anyone takes issue with anything I've said or posted they will come to me directly. |

Champion 17756 SoCal | Subject: RE: TAN #167 SponTANeous Combustion. trinnas - 2012-04-12 12:16 PM I will give you this Tony at least you finally had the balls to say it to my face instead of sniping me as some have done AKA having Cord do your dirty work. But that likely has to do with your PMs with Cord after the one he wrote me when I asked him why he was sniping me all the time. I am not going to sit here and defend myself against a bunch of "well you always" types of accusations as that is never a productive use of ones time. I would sit here and say I do and do not do XYZ and you do and do not do XYZ, ultimately that will get us nowhere unless you want to do some sort of stats analysis on it. I have noticed that you don't ever seem to feel like saying anything like that to many of the others. The one that has been getting sniped is me even when I wasn't around much, which with the exception of the last 2 weeks I haven't been. As far as I have seen I have been the only target so if it is about all that you say it is Where are the calls for Yanti to cut it out or Cheri Or Nic. or any of the guys? How many of them have been sniped every time they turn around? I really don't feel like playing in your little High School Cool Kids game. You want to sanitize TAN fine do not make Cord your little attack Beyotch and go after everyone including your own Hypocritical crap! Tony did this on his own accord the others who I was talking about are many others who haven’t posted here because they were disgusted with the behavior. You are talking about high school games yet you will call out others who are your friends rather than take any kind of responsibility for your own actions. You will fight with us rather than being calm and trying to understand what the group is saying. Time to act like an adult and use some communication skills and discuss things rather than complaining and defecting blame. |

I do think sometimes the innuendos go over the top and when it is page after page it's a little obnoxious, but what is the solution? No flirting in TAN? That's extreme. I am not saying anyone suggested that but how do you manage it? We're all adults here, except Cord, so can't we be self-policing? Really, I am not trying to destroy TAN, I helped create it (been around since like TAN 5 or something crazy) but I feel it's gotten out of hand and we're not getting many new people. Some is fine but when you're talking about DPing and tying up someone the moment they wander in, that seems over the top. All I'm asking is that people at least say `hi' to someone before offering to go S&M on them! Crabby SOB. GET OFF MY LAWN! |

I've got a few ideas, but it's been on the back burner recently. I need to get on that! How have you been?| 2012-04-12 2:33 PM in reply to: #4146764 |

Nobody said any of those selections were on the menu when I arrived? Is this some sort of intended affront? If so I take umbrage with that. |

I started with them in the way back when it was just forming. Been on the board for a couple of years. Now that I don't to tri's I sort of felt like a hypocrite for being part of the club. But have made some awesome lifelong pals and training partners! Ohhhh ... speaking of which. I have several tri tops and a running skirt with the TTG logo on it ... what size are you. I have no use for them and some are brand new! Small/Medium. That'd be awesome |

Why did you single me out? Why did you decide to snipe me every time I turned around? I have barely been in TAN over the last few months. Yet when I show back up all of a sudden TAN when down hill, really. If you had want to say something you should have said it long ago to my face instead of sniping me and instead of singling me out for you attentions. You want to have a reasonable discussion you approach me like a reasonable human being which you did not! You all went around talking behind other peoples backs without saying anything to anyone except your little clique. And Yes Tony I also know people who won't come in here due to some of the cliques behavior. Then you started attacking me all over the place. No one else, just me. If it was an issue in TAN why was I singled out? Hell I don't join half of the back and forth sometimes cause I'm just not in the mood. From what I see still your stuff is OK when you want to talk about it but not anyone else's when you don't want to hear it and sorry Cord but that is hypocrisy plain and simple. If this had come up in a different way things might have gone differently but the way you have behaved towards me and the backbitting that has been going on leaves me less inclined to see you has honest. |
