I dont know what I did or say or whatever... I really dont understand what is it that people on this board have against me. I guess it offends people if I made a joke or even responded to anyone's progress pics. I guess its my fault that I have poor interpersonal skills, or that I have weird personality, or that I just dont know how to talk right. I am really hurt people just seems to ignore me and gets mad at me seemingly for no reason.
Wouldnt take it personally... When I respond I almost never get responses... may be the grammar typed .. or no questions at all.. some like myself I generally just read the posts and dont respond a whole lot anyway so people dont really know me that well to respond
Tai Fu,
Nothing personal - others either don't have an answer or don't know how to respond to something that may have been intended as a joke.
There are users from many different cultures here. Sometimes a joke may be interpreted by another as offensive - or it may just not make sense at all.
A few "hurts" along the way means you're growing and learning something new - it's not all bad...
Like tie-dye, if it doesn't work the first time, you adjust the process and try again until it does work.

Hi there,
I would not it personally what people my comment back or bother to reply. That's the way of this board sometimes and I don't get bothered if people don't reply. Some people only have time read and forget to reply. I read most things but don't always have the time to reply to everthing.
As for interpersonal skills that's one of those things that you just pick up in dealing with people as for me I've worked in a face to face customer service industry for a few years. If people are nasty I ignore them or have a lovely weapon called sarcasm!!!

Don't be upset. I have never seen a post of yours I would consider offensive or rude. I have always thought you seemed like a nice young guy. I am not the vocal type tho. I usually only post when I have something really important to say. I guess this is one of those times.
Just continue to be yourself, tell a joke when you wish and say what you feel when you want. You communicate fine. Probably much better than I do. Continue to put up pics of the shirts you make. It takes me back to when I was your age. I made them too in the late 60's and early 70'. I think yours are better.
Your posts often bring a smile from me.
haha don't sweat it man. Ignore? You contribute to this long hair community. I wouldn't ignore.
Hey Tai Fu, Dont get to down mate, Its Like John B said, Sometimes people read through and forget to reply to all the threads they wanted, Ive been using this site now for about a year and Half, I Like reading the Posts and replys, I Also like repying if I Can add to anything thats been said, But I Dont get on as much as I Would like to anymore due to being busy, I Guess Theres alot of people like that on the board, So if you dont get many replys, hey dont worry, People will reply when they have the Time, and or Remember too. Out of all the Names and People I Know on this Board yours Is defiantly one of them. Like most I Enjoy your progress pics, and your Tie dye pics also your replys to others. Keep your Chin up, we're all friends here \m/ \m/
Tai fu, Mate, I dont think anybody has anything against you. It is quite normal sometimes what you say might create a stir. But that is just difference in opinion and not enemity. This is a diverse group consisting of all races and all religions and here we dont discriminate (I Hope!). I would like to apologize if something that somebody said had hurt you. But try to take reviews and debates sportive and not personal.
Good luck & Cheers!

Hey man. I'm sorry you feel hurt. Sometimes people just don't respond to posts. One of my posts that got the most responses was full of negative responses. It just happens. One day you'll post something you think is awesome and it wont get any resposes and one day you'll post just because you're bored and there'll be 50. Either way man I look forward to your tie-dye posts. I think you do an excellent job. Good luck with you're hair. Post an update soon eh?
I have been driving a truck for nearly 20 years and when I started there were times that I nearly cried and I'm a pretty tough guy. Like Oren said, "A few "hurts" along the way means you're growing and learning something new".
Be aware that messages on the board are typically read several hundred times. MOST people who read, clearly do not reply. People only reply if they have something to add. For example, as the site programmer, I can add to this thread the information that many messages are read several hundred times. [grin]
Think about it - you probably read a whole bunch of messages every time you come here, but you may only post a time or two, or maybe not at all. Lots of other people do the same thing. Although we have over 200 in our users' directory, and although an even larger number visit daily, only a few may post to your thread. And sometimes none will at all. Explaining this is just a matter of "doing the math".
