TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm really impressed with how the pattern looks to be shaping up for the first couple weeks of January. Does look good. Will take some maneuvering to get out of that pattern without a couple of storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Down here visiting? Your area has such a good forum its hard to understand why you would want to post in here. Welcome. They have plenty of banter and occasionally attack a few posters but it's all done in a lighthearted way, which is what banter should be instead of vicious personal attacks.

Yanksfan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I've been involved with weather & climate for quite a while...and I have *always* tended to joke around during slow periods such as the last few weeks. Nothing is meant maliciously...and most of it is quite funny...but soo many seem quick to take everything I say literally that there end up being hard feelings created out of misunderstanding. I did pick on MetFan last week...and that was just simply wrong on my part...and I sent him a pm of apology that night. However, I did have to continue to fire verbal barbs at those who came to his rescue with a barrage of in some sense justifiable criticism of me. The bad feeling appears to have lingered. I wouldn't take anything to heart if I were you Pamela, nor should anyone else. Part of the problem is that we are in a crappy pattern right now, which in turn is causing a lot of fretted nerves especially since many mets and members have called for an above normal snowy winter… which I believe will happen. Once that occurs, everyone will focus on the task at hand- tracking the MECS that is converging in our area. Until that happens, we all have to be more civil minded when we post. I't would be a shame to see anyone get banned from a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Personally, I dont think storms will be the issue. I think we will continue to see plenty of moisture. As always its just a question of whether or not everything will come together or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Most of those criticizing and speaking with conviction against her.....seem to be experts of coming up with clever comebacks and derogatory remarks.

Rjay Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Haters gonna hate... Yup I'm very disappointed in the way a lot of people are reacting to your gender reassignment.

NorthShoreWx Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't think its the worst idea that *future* board membership is contingent on passing a simple quiz in basic meteorology & climatology... I don't think that is a good idea. A requirement and testing to confirm a rudimentary level of social skills would be more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanksfan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Haters gonna hate... Just ignore them. Everybody has skeletons. Several months ago, my niece stated that she was gay. After the initial shock wore off, we all love her just the same. Pamela, I hope you finally found inner peace with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-LI Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Haters gonna hate... You're braver than many men, specially those who might disapprove of you due to their own sexual identity issues.

NYY_2 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Having lived both sides of it...and obviously for a *much* shorter time as a girl...I can say with a pretty fair amount of confidence that the overall life experience has been much, much more pleasant for me personally since the changes. There may be a societal element that factors into that as well. glad you're happy now and proud to show the world the new you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 You're braver than many men, specially those who might disapprove of you due to their own sexual identity issues. It's called defensive projection, Sigmund Freud. Cheers. Two movie lines actually inspired me: Al Pacino in the scene in Scarface at the restaurant at the end talking to the patrons: "You people (in the restaurant) are afraid to be who you want to be" (I was determined to not be afraid) and Peter O Toole in King Ralph: "Its time you took a stand for something. If not now when??" I wasn't going to go to my grave living a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
