I had a chance to do better, and maybe to learn the happy median that may exist between justified paranoia, and the responsibility of being able to make a difference. I'm very glad that I did. I still feel pretty bad about the situation that happened the other day/week with the homeless fellow outside of Burgerville, here.
Today I was going out on a date with somebody that I'm starting to think is totally worth stepping way out of my comfort zone for. This was only my second date with her; if it really was a date. I think that it was, and is, or else I've just never experienced anyone that has as radiant happiness and engagement as she does when engaged in platonic meetings. Regardless, I do not mean to digress upon my date, but it is important as the setting in which this aforementioned event was embedded.
It was only my second time seeing her, other than the time at the park when we first met. Despite the number of people that I've been able to start talking with online, and a few that I've met in passing IRL, she's the only one that there seems to be any real connection with. I'm playing a game that I'm not used to, with her, and it's one that I've known I needed to learn for awhile. That's straying though, also; the important thing at this juncture is the fact that I'm not on my home turf. I've been a creature of habit for far too long, even after the habits that are staying the same are ones that are proven to bite me in the ass hard enough to take out a twitching chunk.
What I'm trying to say is that we're still getting to know each other. Slowly, and in a reasonable fashion. I haven't kissed her; I constantly second guess what might be going on, but I try not to put any expectations on the events when we're together. I try to enjoy what is happening at the moment, and to sense out what she is expecting, enjoying, and I'm not trying to work on anything other than getting to know and respect this person better. It's working.
Yet there have been faux pas, as will always happen. Due to the things that I've been through in my life, this really hits me harder than anyone else that I know. The many segments in my past, where something was said in an incomplete fashion, something that resulted in a misunderstanding that was never given a chance to be rectified… They are things that haunt me, in the night, when I am alone. So much of this life has been spent alone, when I've never wanted for material shit, or dominion, or creature comfort… other than that of someone to share what little I had with.
There was a misunderstanding the first time that was quickly rectified. It scared me, that it could've caused a rift with such a good person, though. Especially being as she's the only one that I'm really engaged with here, outside of the circle of friends that I've quasi-inherited here.
Today, as we walked to a place where we decided to meet and do errands together, a man stumbled by that had a fresh injury to the back of his head. I missed it, as he went by, and she pointed it out. Also that he'd spoken to a man across the street, who was now calling the police in order to get the guy some police or medical attention. When I turned and saw a little bit better, and heard her confirm that blood had been going from the top of his scalp to below his neckline, the decision was made. I'd walked away the other day, and the man had collapsed. Today I wasn't going to make the same mistake. I've been forced to release a man, before, that I knew was in trouble outside of my control. That man ended up dead in less than an hour, and it was totally preventable. Or would have been, if I wouldn't have followed orders that I knew were irresponsible and egomaniacal. I apologized to her, told her that I'd passed up giving care to a man the other day, and told her I'd be right back. I ran after the man.
When I caught up with him, he was looking at me quite warily. I stopped about 15 feet away from him and said calmly, "Hey dude, I just wanted to check on you. I'm not law enforcement, I've just got some medical training. I don't give a fuck if you're on anything, or whatever, I just want to make sure you're alright." I pulled out my faded first responder card, and showed it to him. I got him to look me in the eyes, after I approached, and his pupils were tracking, both the same size, and he was fully lucid. A little stunned and probably on some shit, but he wasn't suffering an obvious or immediately endangering concussion. I told him such, but that he had a deep laceration to the back of his head that was hanging open a little, and would need to be stitched. He pointed to the guys that did it, and said he was going to go fucking get them. I said I'd come along, to make sure he was alright, but that I wasn't going to cause any problems.
The fire department started pulling up, as he confronted the people that he was accusing of having beat him in the back of the head with a baseball bat. His story got a little illogical; I'm not sure if it was whatever [I'm assuming that] he was on, or if he was seriously spinning a bit from the head injury regardless, but he was saying how he was going to send them to jail, screaming at them, in fact. The part that really stuck with me was how he stated that he'd let it all go if the one guy would just give him a cigarette.
The people he was accusing did an excellent job of preventing the encounter from escalating. They showed some signs of potentially rehearsing a story that they were sticking to, but nothing I could prove, of course. The fire department people stood back, about 100-150 feet away, for the duration of the encounter. The man with the head lacerations withdrew a skateboard from behind his back and began to brandish it in a threatening manner at the other fellow, who was doing a good job of keeping a safe radius around him. Still, I pivoted until my left side was facing the encounter and prepared to disarm him, should it prove necessary. I'm sure the fire department was wishing they had popcorn, at this point.
It was tense, and I was really wishing I had my concealed carry, in case things went the way that they had on me before, in the military, but it de-escalated when the police car pulled up actually into the park itself. Police came, and separated the parties. I explained the injured man's medical status, told them I was just a first responder and wanted to help, and they told me I could go. I stopped to wish the injured fellow the best. He told me, in front of everyone, that I was a 'great human being' and that 'my mother did a good job'. That brought a rueful grin to my face, as my mother would've been the first one running out of there screaming in terror (my adoptive mother, that is). It touched me, though. I told the cops on the way out that the other fellow had done an excellent job de-escalating the situation, double checked that they didn't want a report from me, and left the scene.
My date was waiting on the edge of the park. I had sent her a text when it looked like it might turn into a fight, telling her 'bad shit' was happening. I didn't see until after our date was over that she'd asked me to come back then. She didn't understand my reaction, and I wasn't ready to go into detail about everything that has happened in my life, to make me feel that it is important to run into danger, not away from it, when lives are at stake (after a bit of necessary calculation, at times). I think that we got past it, though. I gave her a broad overview of having someone lost due to my responsibility before, though. Told her a little brief summary of the other guy, too. She told me I can't be the hero that saves the day every day. She meant it well, though; I'm not sure if that sounds as injurious to you as it does to me, potentially.
I do want to be a hero. I've always wanted to be a hero. One that stands for what is good, and right. That's not what I was doing though. I have the training that the majority do not. I was just trying to show that compassion should win over indifference and fear.
Either way things go, and whether or not I will be understood, I will sleep easy tonight. I made the right choice. I pray that the Chief is still alright.

Okay, brainiac, let me tell you a few things.
A 'wall of text' is talking about a grammar flawed stream of text that
has no punctuational delimitations, no paragraph format separating thoughts, and oftentimes a rambling and spelling-error prone format. Go look back through the message base and check out Lesser Keys, for a proper lesson.
Crazy person? That post that you replied to shows me as pretty fucking sensitive, and perhaps a bit oversensitive, but hardly crazy. Certainly a step up from an indifferent and callous fuck like yourself. Did you actually read it? Or was that something that would've made your little head hurt? Do the big words bother you?
Dude you just exemplified everything that is wrong in this fucking country and much of the materialistic and profiteering 1st world. What the hell is wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with this culture, that idiots like you are sprouting up more and more, and you don't even have the good sense to be ashamed of your indifference, ignorance, and utter lack of compassion for your fellow human beings? If you had any ounce of compassion for people other than yourself, you'd make goddamned sure that your genes don't spread and get harder to weed out, as per Darwinian evolution. I'm not saying kill yourself... but chop your balls off? Well that's a simple solution that you can implement for just a few dollars in the hardware section of any department store. As was noted in my 'wall of text', I have medical training. I might be able to
help outline a procedure for you that'll help you do it with minimal risk of bleeding to death.
A psychiatrist? No. I can't. Because I'm in the VA Healthcare system, and they suck. Plus I've lost pretty much everything in the past year, which has left me realizing that only people matter. Which is why it's so much more important to keep the ever-increasing percentage of mouth-breathing morons that haven't yet achieved true self awareness, such as yourself, from eating up too much of my time.
Evolve.

Yeah, I was looking for more evidence on that possible correlation myself, too. If that came from anybody over 12 years old, though, they need to go sit in the corner for awhile, and the parents need to be whipped, too. Goddamn.
I mean I've done some time as a troll, too, but you pick and choose based on your own standards, and Jas Hud picking that particular essay to say something like that about shows a whole hell of a lot about the internal character.

Some guy said the definiton of insanity was doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. By that definition, it would seem by your presence here over the years, making countless friends without cluttering up the forums with nonsense that someone must be mentally ill if they were actually to not jibe with your cheery demeanor. Oh, did you not catch that last bit of irony?

So what are you, insane and thinking that your behavior is social acceptable, or just a sane person who has taken it upon themselves to take up socially unacceptable behavior? Because either way the equation looks unbalanced.

The reccomendation is you accept this diagnosis of mental illness, otherwise you will be given a diagnosis of below, below-average I.Q. However we'll need to see a 30 page essay from you before we can remove the below-average I.Q. criteria from your file. Please accept these hashtags as medical and legal proof : #mro #jashud #insane #belowbelowavgiq #bbses.info

doctor lawrence olivier lagomorph M.D.
Rx = Water based lube

Use : Cure Insanity from over BBS-ing
Apply to anal and cranial region
gently try to loosen head from asshole.

That's what's great about not caring man. I can go toe for toe with you in accomplishing nothing if that's what you want to do. So I might run a fly by night medical practice here and there - what's the big dilly-yo?

You're right. I've tried to killf the Red Dragon, but yeah, usually I kinda just stop playing, you're right. L.O.R.D. is kinda lame, imho.

well, if you'd care to give me some more information to cyberstalk you with, i'll be sure to make sure you're in good standing with the NAACP. until then I only have your doveNet behavior to go by. And no, everybody doesn't hate you. You've got a good sense of humor whether you realize it or not. That's why I love ya.

Even my worst enemies have had to acknowlege the respect i've earned over
the years.

they have had to acknowledge it, eh? that sounds like it was under duress which would render it void. your words not mine. who needs law school?

i acknowledge your respect but i don't respect your acknowledgment.

c'mon ride the train, and ride it!

...and in the end, when you are gone, i will still be here.

Dude, if you didn't steal that from a power ballad you need to start a band RIGHT NOW. Real talent right there.

Let's get down to brass tacks here and let bygones be bygones. I know the people who can make you a star or the person behind the star. I can have rough cuts by Thursday.

so go ahead and make your shitty attacks when i'm talking to someone else.

well, since my attacks were centered on feces literally i will grant you they were shitty. however you were using another handle and talking shit out of nowhere to someone who twitlisted you because they couldn't handle your negativity, and you went out of your way to be a jerk.

i acknowledge those facts.

it just proves that i got under your skin and that you know deep down that i am
right.

If it's not clear I know that you are right. I am left.

Take it away Frankie...

I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[Musical interlude]

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin

While I have a strong suspicion of sarcasm on your part froggy, until you confirm such I'll refrain from ripping you a new one but if you choose to cite Oregon Trail as something I tried and failed or didn't finish then I suppose I'll clear somethings up.

#1 - a BBS is not a Playstation 4, sorry I wasn't out to make GTA 6
#2 - I have no recollections of playing Oregon Trail, nor did I have source code for the one everyone seems to remember. I only had BASIC code from 1977 to go off of, and I've never written a program in BASIC in my life. I hadn't written a program in javascript for that matter. Hadn't really written much code at all in quite some time. I couldn't even find an emulator run the program on. Did that deter me?
#3 - Once I was done getting the original game to work - I added improvements to the 1977 version such as the networked high scores, colors, etc.

Could I have done, can I do more? Sure. Why can't someone else? I do plenty of work on my own board's innards to make it different. The Oregon Trail was just a casual learning experience and it came out better than the 1977 version. Are there things I would and could change? Of course. Am I lazy because I don't want to sit around drawing 20 plus ANSI's for the Oregon Trail? I'm pretty sure I'd get yelled at for being lazy if someone saw me slaving away at that. Anyhow, that's not the way the 1977 game was coded, and if I was going to make art I'd probably change the plot. I've admitted many times that I think the game is boring, and I felt that way in the 80's when people thought it was cool, although I'm aware the gameplay dynamics are different than the 1977 version in a lot of ways, although not which ones.

Anyhow, if you have issues with the Oregon Trail take it up with the people back in 1977 or if you found a bug let me know. Otherwise, it's just something I completed casually that works as intended and served as a learning experience. There is a fair amount of custom code in my board and I've got a fair amount of users as well for being online for 10 months, and having fits and spurts as well. But I don't really care that much about BBS cred anyways - I can keep all my code to myself until it scales properly to terminals at 4K resolution.

I'm a little bit on the defensive - but I don't think I said anything bad about Froggy, if I did I certainly apologize. If he was sticking up for me, great, if not, no sweat. Anyhow, this thread is going way off the rails, so I'm trying to lay off it if I can help it. I'm not sure if froggy was being sarcastic, but I appreciate your perspective in saying it can be read both ways.

Regardless, I hope in my efforts to explain one thing I didn't wind up insulting froggy, it was only my intention to address criticism I detected. Anyhow, maybe that was just my subjective response as a result of the peripheral aspects of the discussion.

Language such as 'swiftly propelling him to status of modern legend' is an excessive amount of praise for the Oregon Trail imho, and that's what set off my sarcasm alert. But if that's all it takes to become a modern legend, sure, I'll take it.

Cheers,

Maybe it's time we stop feeding the troll. He keeps coming back

I didn't know that that was another of his aliases; that's the only reason I responded. He's in my filter list under that name now, too.
The very definition of pathetic.

I know; I posted my message to all for others as well. His name 'mro' is short for another one he used to use, mroblivious something (I don't remember the rest of the name). The cycle seems to be the same: He'll eventually reply with something blatantly insulting, multiple people reply to him complaining of his negative attitude, and then he might stop posting on dove-net for a while, but eventually he starts posting again. I've seen it happen multiple times since I started reading dove-net in 2007.

wow... bad day? i read froggy's post as being totally supportive of you... certainly not derrogatory... i guess i might have missed a sarcasm icon if there is such a thing...

I caught that as non-sarcastic, also. From what I know of Froggyme, that came off as legit. :P

Yeah, I've met a few people like that in my time. Usually they're more of a mess emotionally than I am. ;)
I hadn't noticed his cyclical behavior before, probably due to the short duration of my time here. Just interim periods where he wasn't posting much. Must be tough in that basement, all alone, every day.
