*nods at Calvins comment*
Mark, you seem like a nice enough guy.... but some of the stuff you put out there is downright unbelievable. Calvin is right, when someone tries to correct, assist, help or even just tell you that you're wrong you panic and get mad. The whole medical thing of "saving someone's life" for instance. You have me as a P.A. and ncff is a firefighter. We deal with medical things on a regular basis. When I called you out all the sudden "you forgot details" that you added in as we went. Then you come up saying "an old friend threw the sharpest rock he could find and 25 minutes later were bleeding because he hit an artery?" Again, not believable. You have one major artery in your leg and it's not easily accessible unless your friend were a MLB pitcher and that rock was straight up steel or some crap. It's located starting in the upper front of your leg and runs down the inside of your leg branching out. This artery is called the femoral artery. If you REALLY hit that, you'd have bled immediately and after 25 minutes.... Well I don't think you'd make it 25 minutes. It's a pulsing artery meaning every time your heart beats blood would spew from it. As little as 30 seconds and you'd be unconscious but you would bleed out and die from a femoral artery injury in 6 minutes or so. If it is a clean cut you will have a little longer but a rock wouldn't do that. A rock ( assuming you weren't naked ) wouldn't hit that artery come on man... Pants do serve as something that would slow the impact, even shorts would have covered the artery until the branched out parts. If you don't know something for sure, don't go put it out as fact, say... "I did something to my leg ect ect" instead. All we're trying to say is...
1) You post the most pointless threads in existence... Every once in a while... okay it happens, but you go on posting FRENZY mode! Other members have asked you to chill but you continue. ( You can do what you want as long as the MODS are okay with it, however I'm giving you an answer on why people are giving you so much crap. )
2) You repeatedly tell stories like the one listed above that people know things about. I'm in medical as I said, so is Angel1989 and when two medical members are left scratching their heads and a firefighter... somethings off.
3) You can't accept constructive critisism. People are going to get mad, you're going to make people mad... stuff happens, and we're all going to burn someone's biscuits at some point. The point being we're adults. I don't know jack beans about computers or taxes and if I needed help on this forum I read and learn. I'd probably ask Fox about computers and Jess about taxes and stuff. We can all learn from each other. Nobody is personally attacking you, we're just saying chill out, that's all. You're getting the backlash you're getting because of what you post and how much pointless stuff you post.
Again, you seem nice enough man... seriously. I'm not attacking you and I'm not sitting here belittling you or whatever. All I'm saying is the Deaf community is intelligent and very talented.... we pay close attention to everything. If someone tries to correct you.... deal with it! Listen and respond like an adult. If someone calls you out on something they believe is BS, don't keep trying to make a sinking ship float... It makes you look even worse. Lastly, if someone does snap at you a bit, you're a FRIGGING ADULT! Take it, walk away with it and be mature. It's not like someone stomped up in here and called you a poopy doodoo head or something.... :roll:
