Board etiquette, PUI

Hi yo silver · June 04, 2011, 10:59:23 AM

Ya know what PUI means? Posting under the influence. That's what happened when I posted an abrasive response to John Ed's posting re. R-12 Replacements. I was just sure everyone would read and admire my mental accuity in putting someone in their place for drifting into a gray area that might possibly be drifting a little off the main thrust of the conversation.

After rereading the thread today, I of course, see what a horse's patootie I was being, and wish this thing had an eraser on it. And, I wanted to post my apology within the thread so everyone could see that I had a handy, if not good excuse for my bad behavior. Trouble is, then I would be guilty of the same thing I was accusing John of. Trapped!!

Anyway, I apologise for my bratty behavior, and from now on, when I have a cold one, I'll sit on my hands while I read the BB. ...I'll bet this make some of you go back and read the thread again...LOL

No, but age does make you wise enough to realize, admit and correct, bad behavior...lol! I didnt read the post, just sayin'.

well, your post was fine with me, but it WAS a topic about refrigerant, not the political issues... i thought that stuff was supposed to be in the "Off Topic" part of the board, and when someone posted something, he got a response from the most liberal city in Oregon of course...

So what else is new?

If PUI were illegal, and computers had an on-board breathalyser, there would be a lot less posting, that's for sure.

Hi Dennis,

Your Busted!!

Here is your sentence:
You are here by sentenced to 8 hours community service for PUI...
Your service will intail you to install an anti-PUI monitor on your computer. [should take 8 hours]

Dennis, it takes a good man to recognize his faults! [foot in mouth moments]lol

Your AOK in my book!

I did not read the post, or if I did I do not remember it

But you definitely have my respect.

Like a wise man once told me, Crow is better when it's warm! JIm

Best work is done by some PUI...

History is full of them.

Scotch powered Winston Churchill and John A MacDonald come to mind.

American examples may be provided by those better versed in corn whiskey?

Why would busnuts any different?

happy coaching!

I saved your apology so I can use it myself in the future.

JohnEd · June 05, 2011, 11:48:43 AM

Dennis,

As I told you in my PM, I didn't think you were all that far out of line. That may indicate my problem. Hmmmmmm? I'm sorry!.....just in case.

Good for you,

John

Washa matter with a lil drinkypoo now and then?

I have posted under the influence myself. That is when the true feeling come out. The next day you wonder why you exposed yourself but don't hide behind being under the influence. This board seems to drift away from bus building very often. I have seen some not posting because of it. We all need to think about what good a post will do for the whole board not just to prove a point for one other poster.

My thoughts
John

I know I have posted a few late night items that did not read well the next day. I'm looking for someone who is willing to be my designated poster.

obviously too late here also. i "quoted" but forgot to add comment. duhh

cant remember, so guess i'll have the baby to ask about.

If PUI is an issue with anyone, they should do it on Off Topic where nothing is expected to conform to any standard of reason. I know that I feel free to post oversimplified, questionable opinions there. That's what most seem to do there anyway. Here, we should require more thought. Maybe there could be a separate thread category for apologies.
