Arguing with someone like that is like wrastlin' with a pig. All you get is muddy, and in the end you realize the pig likes it.

Thanks for the thread guys and loving the memes.  ❤️   I get yelled at by clowns all the time.

Here's a great one to kick it off:

A loaded meme

Just a general thought (for everyone across all of life).

If you say (write, type) something and the majority of the receiving audience interprets it one way and you the person expressing the idea don’t agree with their interpretation (and insist they are all misunderstanding), that is a good time to take a look inward and see if maybe you aren’t expressing what you think you are.


Basically, if I say something and an audience of 100 people interpret what I say as one thing and I insist that what I said meant another, well in that case, I’m actually the one who is wrong because what I think I said is not coming across.

It's never a majority.  It's a loud few who don't read correctly and go on a big ragey rant.  It's like they read my name and their brain breaks.  It doesn't matter what I write.  Sit back and read a few responses.

The meme is loaded.  Do you self identify as one who doesn't read correctly?

How, not what.
It's how You present your posts, Nobody has an issue with factual data here but they do have an issue when it's said arrogantly.
"fix yourself before you wreck yourself" 
In case you dont understand... ""Fix yourself before you wreck yourself" means you must evaluate and correct your own behavior before it leads to personal or professional disaster"

Caution for others, Song includes strong Language

Nah it happens all the time.  Here's a great example:  https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/2026-mtb-tech-rumors-and-innovation-longer-and-slacker?page=210

A guy raging at me and taking offense at things I didn't write.  You're doing the same.
