My wife left me for hot gravel after I lost my house and job.

 :angry:
HanoiBoi:
Hot Gravel sounds like a rock band.  A middle school rock band. A middle school rock band that disbanded after their bass player lost an arm in a horrific moped accident.

But seriously guys..joking's fun but let's have some compassion.  Xiaou spilled some stuff...his stuff..and opened up about some traumatizing occurrences.  Whether others handle it differently is beside the point - he was/is clearly affected.  It couldn't hurt to show more compassion here.

This is a great community..and the only one I visit almost daily. I read much more than I post and I recognize all the names and feel that I somehow know everyone here.  And, 'd like to think that we all have each others backs.  When someone's down, lift them up.  There's really no other option.

Actually, I tried some compassion, and even some helpful tips, but he responded with "useless self serving drivel!!!" or something like that, so kind of hard to take ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- seriously after that.  So no, I think my compassion is about done. Now I just want to add useless self serving drivel.

HanoiBoi:
Okay, I think I found a disonnect.  Zakk, you thought you were being compassionate, but it must not have come across that way to Xiaou because his actual response was "Insensitive, uncompassionate, worthless drivel.".  See, he didnt see it as compassionate.

To add to that, his comment was a reply to only a portion of what you wrote.  And that portion offered no advice other than "change everything you're doing because you're doing it all wrong".  And I'll be honest, I thought that was pretty harsh when I first read it too.

If your true intent was compassion, no need to give up on that now.  Dude's having some problems.
