Am I unreasonably offensive?
I try not to be. I try to be nice. Have I offended you recently?

(Yeah, I know, attention whore post.... but I'd like to know. Am I really that mean? Should I mend my ways?)

1. I do think
that you just should 'mend' your ways with Crazy Guggenheim:

Don't forget to leave your address, though. :rofl:

12. Oh Wesley!
CG and I have a friendship based on mutual animosity. One of the things I love about him.

We can fight, insult each other, and still end up smiling.

I'm probably going to end up killing him - but it really will hurt me more than it hurts him. So, basically, him and me, we're cool.

Khash.

3. No not really.
But some people can be more forceful and show their alpha side and be looked on favorably. While others would be ridiculed and looked on as being an ass. ie: Two men get angry about some issue. One is looked on as being unstable emotionally while the other is seen as showing signs of great leadership.

5. IMHO
Anyone who asks that Q isn't. You may be (as anyone) offensive @times but a truly offensive person does not care what others think. You do. I beleive a REAL offensive person is one who by ignorance or hatred sets out to gratify only himself.

From what I see, that doesn't seem to fit you. I don't see that intent. You seem a nice enough person to me. :-)

16. My dear Khash!
You do have a slightly snarky side, my dear.....

BUT you have never been deliberately offensive to me.....

And I love you for being just the way you are!

18. Good lord, NO!
Even when poking fun, you do it in a gentle and loving way. :P

What is making you ask this question? You've been rather tame lately, at least from what I've seen around here.

21. Why do I ask?
I got a couple emails from people saying that I was one of the most hateful, annoying, and offensive people they had ever met.

I just wanted a consensus.

I try to be a decent man. To care when other people are hurting, to give the best advice I can, to try to love other people. It really doesn't cost much.

But sometimes I lose my temper. Sometimes my jokes aren't funny but hurtful.

Those emails just made me wonder........ I think I'm a nice guy, but am I really? I know this was a stupid question and I phrased it stupidly. But I really wanted an answer. Those emails HURT.

24. Khash...
I cannot believe that someone would say that to you OVER e-mail! Talk about being an asshole!

I think that you have a gift, you allow us all to think/question things that are non-linear. I adore that about you. :loveya:

If someone thinks your offensive or an asshole for that, then there is no hope. :hi:

25. Were these from people you know?
Do you trust their opinion? Or was someone just being mean-spirited?
There are all kinds of people in this world - and some of the lowest, IMO, are those who intentionally hurt other people.

I have not seen any evidence of you behaving the way those people describe... and I'm a pretty good judge of character. Consider how many people here, in the Lounge, love you for who you are.... then BELIEVE IT TO BE TRUE, BECAUSE IT IS!!

I'm sorry, Khash - I've gotten hate mail similar to that, and I know how much it stings. If it's any consolation, I love ya. :hug:

27. Well it ain't always bad
I was also compared to you - as a kind and compassionate person.

Someone said that you and me were similar souls - always there when someone needed help. Always able to reach people in crisis. Always open hearted.

I don't know if it's true about me, but it's a comparison to treasure. Being compared to the Rev? That's something to be proud of.

Khash.

29. That's awful because I see so much good in your character.
I remember when my girl elshiva was having a horrible night. I'll never forget it. You stayed with her, and you showed her patience and tenderness. You talked with her, and it was like you were holding her hand or something. I haven't seen much like that, and it blew my mind.

:yourock:

30. I can't take credit for that
the Rev was right there with me. So was Redstone (although he won't take credit for anything). And helping elshiva when she needed a friend... could a friend do any less? I tried. I hope I made a difference. I wish I had done more. I tried, but she deserved more.

You've actually been noticeably absent lately.

You okay?
