Ok, but there's no crying in the Man Cave.

Lol MeNow! 

Yep, agree Stayed....'no good deed goes unpunished'.....short and simple..Sorry people are looking WAY to much into this thread other than a venting thread for men and any women who wishes to participate...It really is a good idea...

Thundaar, I'm STILL trying to figure out where your post is coming from.  I was on Life two with Rover and BonBon from here and I left for here at the beginning of your tenure there. Before 'your group' arrived it was a caring place also for the wounded (men and women). I was talked off a ledge there and talked quite a few more off one. I don't have a story or thread here as I 'left it all over there' I came aboard here with the mind of Helping people such as yourself....If you did any research ( as in looking back on that thread) on that site it was 90% compassion the year I was there. I went back a few times after and didn't really notice it became a 'men only' type site..Maybe you all scared the women away! 

Anyways, like in all of life, take what you need and leave the rest for someone else....

Don't worry Rookie -- nobody knows where Thundarr is coming from.  But whatever place he writes from, it does generally make for good reading.

Regarding the discussion of being defined by others  -- that is a male battle cry, if ever I heard it.  Pretty much Mel Gibson in a kilt, blue face paint, and a battle axe screaming "FREEDOM".

And their commander must cross the battlefield, present herself to our troops, put her head between her legs, and kiss her own arse!

The L2 forum was for men and women, the section Thundaar was talking about was just one thread with over 15,000 posts. Nobody knows why the site went down, it was obviously making money and had hundreds of posts every week.

The one with 15000 posts was the one I was talking about.....and was part of...Wesley 'something of other' started that long before I arrived and was full of compassion...and HOPES of reuniting with his MLCer...

And how do you know this?

I'm like a luminous entity devoid of definition or measurement.  LOL!!  My earlier post (made while still half asleep) was that LifeTwo, while completely supportive and caring, literally had no rules or guidelines to abide by.  We were free to speak the way we would at a bar with each other and in so many ways the flow of conversation was much more natural.  Curse words were not edited and NO ONE moderated or deleted anything (even though Rover was a mod there at the end I thinik).  We were free to vent as we pleased and it was very healling.  LifeTwo doesn't exist because of server issues on the side of the owner, not because it died out.  I even started a LifeTwo thread here that was very much a pre-Man Cave but without the disclaimer.  Some of the females who were here at the time took exception to some of the posts and deleted them, even though none were personally directed or patently offensive.  I'm all in favor of this thread and the warning to female LBSes to 'Beware," but at the same time I think Honour and Braveheart are pointing out that we are still constrained by boundaries imposed by a female to prevent offending other females.  I have nothing but respect and gratitude to RCR, Stayed, In It and others here and I really think that only a few would be offended by ANYTHING written in this thread.  That being said, it's often the minority whose wheels get greased due to making the loudest noise.  Heck, some of the females here used to shadow on LifeTwo and one even did a drive-by there once (looking at you, Tsunami!  lol).  BonBon, Lisa and others provided a great female perspective and never mentioned taking offense to anything by any of us.  Just some random thoughts as I'm rushed at work....

Look around this forum and it is chocked full of women who are aching to be in a relationship with someone who has lied and cheated on them. Yet, men who have been loyal, loving and strive to live by principles and who have themselves suffered abuse are "permitted" approved threads that carry large purple warnings against abusive behaviour.

See this bothered me because I see just as many men doing the very same thing.

Now come on, you've entered the Man Cave, where there is a sign at the entrance in big purple saying "Enter at Your Peril", but you have come on in anyway and now you've gone and got yourself all bothered. Here's Stayed's advice to you

you were warned,  NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR COMPLAINTS!!!  If you don't like what they are saying... STAY OFF THEIR F*CKING THREAD!

Lol..nice bait honour!

Hey, what can you say? since the first grade I can remember the ones who stirred up trouble!  Thats the only environment they are comfortable in i guess...right honour?
