Anyone seen the "Meltdown on 30A"?

My point

I have welcomed over 17,000 members to this forum, most of them personally, and sent out good vibrations to millions others. I like grilled cheese and glad Jim also had my idea of a grilled cheese restaurant and opened one in an airstream in Seaside. Perfection! I recommend putting on shoes that are one size bigger and getting a cheese sammich today on Scenic 30A. Life is good.

Need a change? http://www.sowal.com/bb/employment/53364-meltdown-30a-hiring-season.html

Too bad it's not a good day for fishing. Or a long stroll on a pier. Not necessarily a short one.

This is exactly my point. The pier sentence was not necessary and if you find that funny I feel sorry for you. People cannot voice their opinion on here with fear of getting a negative and sarcastic response such as the one above, Kurt. Jut give it up. I want to thank the kind people who have stood up for me because I am tired of doing it alone and appreciate that there are some good people on here and people that care about the feeling of others when they post. I am done with this and I hope this is the end of it.

Thank you

If this is a warm welcome to The Meltdown...than I'm sure Jim appreciates the 'exposure' . 'Eek!' & 'laughing' is a great review for a new restaurant:sarc:

Wow! 17,000 members and yet just a handful of posters...maybe you haven't warmed as many hearts as you'd like to think!?!

It's never a bad day for fishing, Kurt 🙂 The sharks are ALWAYS hungry...care to join me for that long walk on a short pier? ;-)

Ahhh...it IS fun saying mean things! Now I understand!! Come on everybody! Join in the fun and let's see who can be the most wickedly mean! :sarc:

Thank you so much for seeing what I am and not finding it funny as they say it is just in jest. Some of the sarcastic remarks responsible parties make on here ruins it for the rest of us. Some obviously think they can say what they want and others cannot. Obviously myself and one other person are the only ones big enough to apologize for what we have said to hurt others or speakinng out when too angry. I am a kind person, I try to help people and animals, others apparently like to do just the opposite. As I said before to those who find this funny, how old are you? Maybe you are still in high school and no one knows it because this is how teenagers act and I've seen a lot on t.v. about bullying others and what happens to some when they are bullied and I would think things were getting better and people were paying attention. Not that I am in any way going to let this bother me - I have too much to do otherwise. Now can we stop this catty post and get back to being responsible, sensible adults and just state opinions about things that matter and not throw sarcastic remarks about people in as well? PLEASE!

Kidding

I'm not sure Kurt was really talking about anyone specifically. I certainly didn't take it that way. I thought this thread was just one of those nonsensical threads that people just say goofy things on. It was for funn. I was the only one who brought Heartbren into this, and , again, I am sorry for that.

Again, I have to say that these forums are not the place to pour your heart out, especially if you are stressed. This is a public forum. You have to remember you are sending out your thoughts and feelings to strangers.

About a year ago, a wise poster said it's OK to type out whatever you think or feel, but just don't hit the send button. Type what you feel, then take a deep breathe, and re-read what you said, and think to yourself, do I really want to say this to the world. I have typed many long diatribes and just deleted them because they were dumb, boring, or just plain lame.

In short, most people come here for funn. We kid each other all the time. I don't think any of us are really mean-spirited, and hopefully we can continue to be as candid as we have always been. Maybe Kurt can open a new forum called "Sensitive, Thoughtful Feelings Only".

I'M KIDDING!!! :wave:

I already addressed the fact I should have not posted when ANGRY on the other site and I apologized as did you. All kidding aside, it just is not funny. Was that absolutely necessary? I think you could have left the last sentence out, but you obviously have to get a dig in. I just don't get all this negative humor. It just is not funny and I think a lot of others do not think so either.

Welcoming

I am with you, perhaps we should just learn to be the same way instead of being the kind people we are that don't make fun of others. Some people's sense of humor is quite warped I'm seeing. They just cannot stop either. Thanks for sticking with me.:wub:

Thanks

Ok if the conversation is about the cheese place on 30A then it is funny.

If it's some back way of poking fun at people because their opinion is different, then sorry I don't find it funny either.

It is easy to say " lighten up" but it is also just as easy to say "grow up".

Heartbren had already apologized on the thread, explained she was at a sensitive place right now, worried about Diane, and yet here she is being made the butt of some joke.

Funny, honestly I don't think so if truly the intent of this thread was to poke fun at someone else. Hopefully that was not the intent.

Thank you Minnie. I am appalled that this thread was even started and by someone who is in charge of it who still has never apologized for doing so and I guess never will.

Let's see: there's Heartbren, Glenn Beck, Charlie Sheen... does John McCain count?

Thank you for not mentioning Mel Gibson. Contrary to popular belief, he is always right about everything, and can do no wrong.

You haven't seen mean until you go to the political forum.:lol: I think this thread is a big misunderstanding. Ya'll are taking things way too personally IMO. This IS a forum on the internet. Yep, people get nasty. Yep, people make fun. Yep, it's not for everyone. I've tried to stay away from SoWal.com in the past and it's never worked for me. It's like a trainwreck....I really don't want to see it, but i have to anyway. :lol:
Get some grip, get some humor, get some thick skin, or don't post here. It's as simple as that. :wave:

Gee, is it my imagination or did Kurt's first post about the Meltdown and not the restaurant, dissapear from this thread. Oh, besides the one about the short pier? :idontno:😱:shock::shark:

Geez and to think I moved here for the people. Other people obviously. :boxing:

See, you can be snarky. See how easy that was? :wave:

Kurt,

Have you wondered why so many members have left? Seriously, I wish I hadn't come back for a quick check in. Unfortunately this was the first thread at the top of the list & I opened it :(

Not great for those who pay to advertise here......

Later. Much later.........

I really like that word, snarky! I said I was a trainwreck:trainwreck: and now I am not.:floor:We all have a bad day. I just thought the issue just really got personal as did some others. My only remaining thought is.... I apologized for my angry responses, but the BOSS (Kurt) has not. I guess that makes me a better person.:lol: He also deleted his original posts so no one can see how this started. :idontno: How's that for snarly??? I really do like that word.:lolabove:

Wow! I don't know you, but thank you so much for saying what needed to be said and for your bravery in doing so!!!!:clap:

Really interesting article: Overcoming The Role Of Victim Or Martyr | LIVESTRONG.COM

And I hate to point out the obvious heartbren, but since there are now so many posts, this thread is two pages long, so to see the original post, you have to go to the next page. And you quoted Kurt's short pier post in the very same post asking where it went. No posts have been removed from this thread. This thread which could have been fun, but is now a :trainwreck: of its own. How many times have we seen it - people who have so much to complain about are guilty of the very thing they are complaining about in others. Reminds me of "remove the beam from your own eye..."

What happened to:

:idontno:

Here it is in plain English, if you still don't get it: Calling people names, using fighting emoticons and telling them they are mean and not good people because they don't see things your way is just as much bullying as anything else. People disagree, not everyone in the world is meant to be friends, and some people use humor to defuse tension. If you don't like it, fine, but don't pretend you are somehow above it while you continue to participate, because you are not. You are being equally as childish as those you accuse. Grow up.

Now, for real, I am done with this pathetic, banal "meltdown."

I will, however, continue to discuss the merits of melted cheese and the awesomeness of an Airstream devoted to selling melted cheeses, bread and soup, right here on 30A. :wub:

Well obviously I am much newer here since I don't realize there is another page. I have enough also, but I was the target originally. If you are done with it don't read it. I have no problem with anyone commenting on The Restaurant "The Meltdown", but that was used sarcastically re: me in the beginning. You are a trip to. You must have missed a lot of this because from the beginning. I am not the one calling names or expect everyone to agree with anything I said in the beginning. I did as everyone else did post what information I had and there are some "Right" people which means they have to be right. I could care less but did not appreciate being attacked no matter they say I was not. I was just starting to be a little lighthearted and silly as others have been and you had to chime in and blame me for this?? Did you not read the post before yours???? As far as I was concerned in the last two posts it was over and I was trying to lighten things up as the snarky person asked me to. She was right and I did and now you are attacking me. Get a life. I am not a victim anywhere in life, my life is good, it is the few people on here that are putting somewhat of a damper on it. I am however helping others that are victims of what life is throwing their way and they have no control over it. Such angy people on here. You should not post when angry remember or did you miss that to? This has been so rediculous that my laptop could not take anymore and it quit working. :funn:Maybe it will work again when people quit responding negativly. :idontno: The little faces and train, etc. are on here specially for that purpose and I was trying to be a little funny. That does not work either. You just can't please everyone.

Oh and you did not read the pier part correctly. I meant that was the only one I saw left and it was not nice either and not directed at me so you tell me who is so mean.

Apology

I really like that word, snarky! I said I was a trainwreck:trainwreck: and now I am not.:floor:We all have a bad day. I just thought the issue just really got personal as did some others.

\\

I want to apologize since I got it wrong about him deleting his posts. Obviously I am newer to this b/c I did not realize it just went to another page. Sorry about that.

I was starting to think maybe we were mean and felt bad ................... then I read your last 6 rambling posts and I am over it. :roll:

The martyr bit gets old, as does the whining and MANY posts about it.

Learn from it, move on, and have some fun already.

Really, come on, please stop!
