Michigan Radio & TV Buzzboard

Nobody wins and nobody loses, It not a pissing contest, It’s just people trying to get things straight and to understand where the problem is so it can be rectified.

@NS, so I agree with you and then you tell me I'm wrong?

That makes you wrong too.

And arguing over the word "retarded" is the most unproductive discussion I can think of.

The entire point of the thread is lost

Not really a total waste, Vic is still and always will Be a Douche Bag.

I love "Black is Black" btw. Great choice for today's song.

Why Thank You Sir!

I hope I don't end up like Vic when I get old.

You won’t, Vic is just an edgy old dude, with a bad attitude, I don’t know what type of career he had if it was broadcasting or what, But with my experience in the biz there are tons of arrogant people, Not everyone but alot and if he worked in the radio biz most likely he was one of the arrogant ones, I know the type, The I’m better than you type, But where is Vic today well he’s just like me we’re Radio has-beens, I hope that clears it up a bit.

Oh he's definitely the "I'm better than you" type.
I study psychology. I observe and analyze everyone's behavior for a living almost. I don't even do it on purpose either. It just seems natural to me.

Not all people in the radio biz are like that though, but you are right about quite a bit of them being that way.

The R-word is OFFENSIVE
“The word retard is considered hate speech because it offends people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as the people that care for and support them. It alienates and excludes them. It also emphasizes the negative stereotypes surrounding people with intellectual and developmental disabilities; the common belief that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities should be segregated, hidden away from society, which, in my opinion, is really old fashioned.” – Karleigh Jones, Special Olympics New Zealand athlete

Okay.
My apologies .
I wasn't at all trying to offend anyone. I wouldnt do that.

You should hope you get like Vic and not like me. Vic and I have had some minor disagreements but I regard him as one of the finest and most decent people on this board.

He attacked me out of nowhere for no reason.

That's not "decent"

Not at all... but you’ve lost it here. You can think whatever you want but around here it’s very apparent you will be flayed alive for saying what you said... based on the reactions from everybody else you lost this one...

If you want threads with a point don’t come to the freewheeling section of the board either...

Oldies 84..
He's a bit on the wild side, but he's always nice to me and I have a lot of fun talking with him.

He's decent. That's the definition of decent.
Attacking, insulting, and ridiculing people is not decent.
I've never done a thing to ANYONE. I'm nice to everyone.
I will NOT allow anyone to treat me that way, no matter who / what they are

I have had pleasant conversations on this board with many of you, including stopnswop2 and Oldies 84. You each contribute something unique. But also, Vic has been around this board as long as I have, and has proven to be a man of integrity and wisdom. He may call you out for something he disagrees with, and he will definitely get your attention about it when appropriate. Some things in life aren't cuddly, especially disagreements, but when it happens, we should all try and learn something from it, regardless of ego or how we felt about being called out.

Stopnswop's apology is a great example of someone moving past the ego and learning from the situation, regardless of who is at "fault." We should all learn from that as well.
