Sheeple?

[JonesCarpeDiem]

Ok . You've gone too far.

Now you're telling people to follow your example and say whatever they want whether it's true or not just to be different?

You are not a lawyer, but something that sounds mighty close.

You claimed you were blowing smoke out of your lungs 8 days after you quit smoking and I told you I didnt think it was possible and asked you to prove it and all you could do was attack me, call me names and slander me because I wrote a Christmas song?

Name calling/lip flapping. This is exactly what I said you would do.

I even suggested a way you could prove what you said.

You proved everything I said and nothing you said.

Anyone with any logic at all would question the possibility of your claim. That's all I did.

Then a couple blogs later you write the following?

"(This should go without saying but if you are going to post a negative response on my blog because you have some personal issue with me, keep it to yourself or I will happily delete it.  I've been courteous and holding back but I won't do it any longer.  Consider this your only warning)"

Slandering somebody is courteous and holding back?

Calling people names does not make something TRUE.

I wrote Dr. Hurt recognized expert for the mayo clinic and asked him if what you claimed was possible

This was his reply of 2 days ago.

Not sure how much smoke is in question but it is physiologically highly improbable of smoke sequestration even a few minutes after smoking. I know of no biologically plausible reason for exhaling smoke a few days after last smoking.

I had/have nothing personal against you.  I never attacked your character. But for you to tell people to say whatever they want without backing up their claim just because you think you can get away with it? That's strike two.

If you claim something regarding the process of quitting smoking in the future that seems impossible, you will be asked to prove it.

Slander does not make something true.

BULLSHIT IS NO DEFENSE.

Now go learn how to drive a truck and take a pee test.

It is evident from your writing you are (a) self absorbed (starts with a p ends with a z, 4 letter word) and not interested in helping anyone else quit smoking. .

BTW, If you put anything in the way of a negative response on my blog?   "I will happily delete it"

Dale, I just wanted to thank you for all you do here. I have been to your past posts on what to expect in my quit, which has helped me greatly. I am in no mans land, but with your help I know what to expect. Thanks

[Nyima_1.6.13]

Dale, your blogs and comments have been extremely helpful in my quit quest and I thank you for that. I have only been on this site for a short period of time but have already started to filter who's blogs I choose to read. Any possibility you could just ignore the truck driver and continue the good fight with those who truly want your help?

[JonesCarpeDiem]

Mags,

I fully intend to continue helping anyone who wants my help but i will not accept slander.

[IrishRose]

Thank you, Carp Man, for all you do.  Thank goodness you're NOT a politician.  I work in the great abyss of politics, and I can truly say that you're heart is here, 24/7 seems like, for all of us.  Just wanted to say that, and thank you for being YOU !

Dale,

I'm with you on this. Some people live in the twilight zone and if that works for them, so be it. But derogatory statements about others on this site are counter-productive.

By the way, thanks for all the time and effort you put in on EX. You are truly an asset here.

Dale,

Thanks for everything you give to this site.  I know I cherish the knowledge you bring to this site and the support you have given me and so many others.  Thanks for all you do.

IMHO When people resort to attacking someone verbally, throwing insults around as if they are on a playgroud, it is purely defensive. There is usually nothing to be gained by trying to continue to talk to them because their emotional development has been so stunted, you're likely only to get more of the same posturing and childish insults.

just sayin.

Dale, Guess I missed something here on a previous blog.  I cannot figure out what individual or group you are addressing on the site.  My first thought was "is it me?"  I have always enjoyed your encouragement that has helped me day to day through my quit.  I'm sorry that a member broke the boundaries, but this post is leaving me feeling somewhat icky.  Hope your day gets better and please turn your focus back to those of us who appreciate your passion for wanting to hold us up so we won't fall.  Thank you for all you do.

[Jordan-11-1-12]

PS<> Thank you for everything you do on here.

Dale, you do a lot of good for people on this site and just ignore those that say otherwise.  Obviously they are not worthy of your words of encouragement each day. I know that you're words of encouragement have helped me through my journey and for that I thank you!  

To the insulting party....It is clear that you do not want the help of others and are living in a fantasy world.  Insulting people, slander....There comes a point in time where everyone needs to Grow up!  "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all."  You should learn to think before you speak because if what you are about to say is going to hurt someone then maybe its best to not say anything at all.  This place is our home and for helping those who really want freedom from the nicodemon and clearly you don't want the help so you can turn escort yourself out. Just saying....

Have a good day Dale!

[Ex_Nancy]

He called me some choice names too....I won't be a sheeple either.

Thank you for caring enough to be here Dale.

Sometimes people fail to understand what makes this site work! "Collateral Kindness"! Helping yourself by helping others!

When someone has story to share that may be helpful to others, they should share that! While some of us may have a tendencey to get a little long winded from time to time, there is still something good to share!

Those who pontificate for the purpose of stroking themselves will not last here! Tell us the good, and bad, in your life that relates to your quit and your health! We care about both! Share that which has a point. Ask for help when needed! But, to take up a page explaining how one finds ways to expose themselves has nothing to do with smoking, or quitting, and does indeed expose a lot more about them than we want, or need to know!

That will be two cents, please!          Tommy

[mlpepsi517]

Well put Tommy and I just want to thank you, Nancy and Dale!  You've all been an inspiration and have helped many (self included) with your words of wisdom and encouragement to succeed!

[justsayno3]

Dale- I got your 6.

[froguelady]

Dale, you know how I feel about you.  You are a staple here, Nancy also. When someone attacks you two they attack all of us.  From what I have read from "Steeple" he is not here for others but for his own selfish purpose.
