Friends are the best thing there is

So yesterday, a friend of mine from LPSG and I are doing our periodic PM tag exchange and the subject of how I live my life and how I come across came up. Well it is no big surprise that my name got drug through the mud on OLPSG and many people have thought I was way to calm and peaceful a person to be real or genuine.

My very good friend said that she too thought I wasn't who I came across until she got to know me. She said she was never going to tell me. I laughed as if I were in her shoes, I would think the same thing. Now she had made her confession and now it was time for me to make one of my own.

I had read the posts badmouthing me and as much as I have broad shoulders and let things roll off and turn the other cheek, the unprovoked attacks at OLPSG hit home and I was hurt. Over there people reffered to me as "The King of LPSG". To that I say bullshit. I am no king here, nor do I want to be. I like this forum and love contributing and love a lot of people out here, but king? Get real. People there also see me as having an agenda or not being who I present myself as. If treating people with the respect and courtesy I would like in return is "an agenda", then I'm guilty as charged. I like being a member and not one of the staff. The staff here doesn't need me as I think they do a great job.

So to my good friend, I love you more now than yesterday because you were honest and withheld judgement of me until you got to know me. That speaks volumes for the kind caring heart you possess. Don't ever change that.

IMO, no-one can pretend to be as nice as you are. To treat people with respect and compassion is a gift and and an attribute too few people have so how on earth can someone (a fake) pretend to have it....

I knew from the moment we corresponded you were a genuine guy. I could feel it in my water LOL.

The 'king' bit is nonsense... who needs to be king and who wants to be king... that just comes from jealous souls who could only dream of being half as nice as you....

Though you are my Prince Charming... is that OK?
Hugs, K x
 
We are talking about me,right?
I have a huge ego, and I gotta' know!well
I told you because it's true,I didn't want to hurt your feelings,that
certainly wasn't my intent,but I do think people here or anywhere, just
aren't used to folks being sincere,period.
I mentioned it so you would see another side of me and the people at Size Matters,regardless of what they write.
I love you too!

Yes read about me and you as Suck ups in another thread. It bothered me at first as it should bother you. Then i got over it and you will too. Im a nice guy in real life as you are too. so we move on and continue to be who we are.
 
Well Osiris...first let me say that I find it sad that people have nothing better to do, or think there is nothing else more important in the world for bad-mouthing you for of all things...being nice. My what a crime! Second, I just want to say that I don't think you're nice...I think you are kind...I think I have said this to you before, but I will say it again...there is a big difference between being nice and being kind...anyone can be nice, but it is a special person who is kind, and that my friend, is what you are and I am happy I know you.
 
(It comes as no surprise that Cigarbabe's the person that you're talking about)

Osiris buddy, it's all part and parcel of life: Some people will see you for who you are and value you...other's won't. Reputation is what people say you are, character is who you truly are. We both know that you have character - THAT's what counts.

In life as well as in other places (hint hint) one comes to see that people come and operate from many places. Some carry deep hurt and thus view others with sceptism and cynicism regardless of how good and well meaning that they are. Some are angry and will not filter others except through a lens of anger. Others lack self esteem and see a need to try to make out as if they are more superior and sit with a wall full of degrees. That's just the way it is (that's the bad news, btw)

The good news is that if you operate through who you are, nothing that others can say or do can touch you. I can call you a pig but regardless of how often I say it, unless you suddenly grow a snout, four trotters and a corkscrew tail, you're going to stay the beautiful man that you are.

If I had been aware of what was said about you (bear in mind that when I was a member I avoided such topics), I still wouldn't have told you...and I see myself as your friend and that I was having your back. Why? Simple, because is it worth allowing it to hurt you; is it worth giving them that amount of power over your life when you have more than enough people over here that are able to identify your value and kindness and enter into what you can call your circle of friends. It's their loss and not yours...and it's not your problem.

It takes more courage to heal than to harm...most especially when under the scrutiny of critics...

Now go wash off their mud and be the lovable being that you are!
 
cigarbabe, you didn't hurt me, you actually helped me and accomplished exactly what you were trying to accomplish. I was just reminded of how much those remarks pissed me off. I'm beyond it now and am so greatful to have you as a friend. You, Lex, and the always right DC_Deep have done a lot to make me see SIze Matters in a different light, but I'm still a bit skiddish. The last thing I need is to go over there and have the "powers that be" think I am sucking up or trying to "be their next King". My mind is now more open to the idea, but still not sure that little angry demon that I do so well surpressing wouldn't want some payback.

IKnowKK, uncut, 36 DD, and Bigguy, I am a truly blessed man to have people like you in my corner. the four of you have this uncanny ability to knw what I need exactly when I need it. Thank you for all your support and kindness.
 
Cigarbabe, you are a sweet heart, i have never chatted with you, but i have read many of your comments, your alright in my books.
 
Thanks osiris biguy,and ajaxgayguy!
You know my intention wasn't to hurt you
but I want you to,not let those people who don't know you,rent space in your head!
As long as you know who,what you are,fuck them! I told you the truth even tho' I didn't want to admit it,because I think it makes me a better person by being honest, with you and everyone I deal with.
I really am a case of "what you see is what you get"!
Love ya' guys,
C.B.:saevil:
