Men wearing womens running trainners (Read 1520 times)

Jayskydee,

There are a few things that I agree with you about...

Phidippides graciously provided his experience with a similar situation, and I think he did a wonderful job in answering your question. 
I hope you understand, though, that others may not be able to answer your question (because they don't have the same situation as you do).

 

Now, this is where my tone may change some....

Forums are a great place to gather insights, sing praises, ask questions, and generally speak to people you don't really "know."  With that being said, there are many instances where forums can be downright sickening and an awful thing to read.  In this situation, we're talking about the later of the two.

There's a real big difference between being somewhat rude or somewhat "pricky" in a response to a thread from being an arrogant rude jerk and an absolute "prick".  It seems as if some of your responses may have crossed the line from being "somewhat rude" to being "real rude". 

 

Generally, the way I write and the way I approach RA forums is that I try to ensure that what I write can be read by my wife, my son, my mom & dad, and my closest friends that I see day in and day out.  (I know and I recognize that not everybody writes with the same mindset that I do).  To be able to write as such, it's important to be able to best understand who may be reading my responses.  When responding to someone, it's important to be able to best understand who wrote the message.  Typically, foul language is not a great way to gain trust from others.  It's a sign of immaturity and weak character.  The better you are at developing "internet" relationships with given people will determine whether you can get serious responses and have proper dialogue with people.

 

Many of the people that provided "somewhat pricky" answers are people that I've spoken with here that behave "less pricky" on a regular basis.  However, I realized when you responded last night why the "somewhat pricky" responses they wrote were written.

 

I suggest you find another mud pit to chat it. 

I also suggest you develop a communication strategy that'll help you as you seek answers to your questions.

I suggest that you run with a passion that allows for you to smile every second of every mile, and that you add on as many miles as you can.

I suggest that you compare yourself to your old self and that you develop as an athlete to an ability that will amaze you and the people that truly know you.

 

Remember, this is a running forum where the majority of people here are addicted to the running bug.  These folks come here to seek sound advice, sing praises, and socialize with others who share the same addiction, etc.  Very few of us WANT to get involved in crap like this.

Cheers,
Brian

They should have thought about the relevance and constructiveness of THEIR answers before they replied, if they did I would have no reason to point out their off topic drivel would I? I hardly think calling someone gay cause of their foot size is real good. Nor is not reconising their is very little difference save colour between men and women's shoes. And Color is the correct spelling in UK, australia and possibly canada too. 

She needs to go up a half size...

Well let's be fair here jay.  You came here before and when people tried to help you, you were a Class 1 jerk to them.  Why do you think that when you pop back in a year plus later, that people will have magically forgotten your prior misbehavior and grant you the same consideration as a new member?  You've already burned your bridges and starting a new thread does not wipe the slate clean -- especially when you pick right up where you left off with how you treat people.

Continuing to swear at people does not help your cause.

Of course I understand using "you are".  I suppose if you are a very, very busy and important person without a millisecond to spare, you could use "u r", but how does one decide to go with "u are"?  Why not "you r"?  I am perplexed by the subtle intricacies that may be involved here.

Sorry.  Literal me is having trouble with "fucking shit bag".  None of those three words should involve each other ever... except in the case of the practical joke "shit bag" where you light it on fire up on the porch.

 I'm normally a lurker, but I've found your posts thoroughly captivating to the point where I just HAVE to get involved and ask...
 

 Suprised by the homophobic attitudes to be honest (Not by yourself).

...where were the homophobic attidtudes? I just have to know.

Also, wear women's shoes. Wear a sparkly pink mankini if it's what you like to run in and you're comfortable enough in yourself to wear it. Nobody here would have a problem with your pink sparkly mankini, but not if you kept talking about your pink sparkly mankini and then verbally abusing people. For the love of God, put on your lady-shoes and just run.

Pinky sparkly mankini is optional.

Wow.

 Ya troll much.

I'm not quite sure you understand the definition of the term troll.

Or, I could say, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Ya know, there's that whole "glass houses" thing.
