    Who am I kidding. Poor thing fell on the floor.
    I was earlier going to ask for the name to be changed, after Elen mentioned keeping it.
    But instead I attempted to turn it into some anecdote, to try and help it walk.
    I apologise for going with THAT option, rather than asking for any such thread to be created separately in a more appropriate spirit without the unfortunate tumble. I guess that can still happen if someone wants it?
    I apologise to anyone who was offended by my stating that I have had alerts come up when entering a website. I wasn't thinking it would be taken badly, maybe I should have thought a bit more about it first, I honestly didn't intend any malice.
    I wasn't really expecting the response I got, and apologise for reacting with the blunt terminology I used, I should have kept by return snipes to myself in retrospect. Anyway, trying to keep it brief. *throws a handful of earth and rose petals down the hole. *

    Thanks, Nothing. No worries, you're OK. It looks like Aragorn figured out why you get those messages.

    My parents raised me to be able to take a joke. And I was the butt of a great many, being the youngest. Misunderstandings happen, more easily with text.

    We will heal through art, so-called or otherwise.

    Look, Aragorn is the local God here at TOT.

    Accept it. Make jokes with him and at him. Be yourself but get over yourself.

    FWIW, I’m convinced he is really doing things for the greater good

    ...so think of him as a benevolent, but somewhat deranged God..kinda like the “real” one.

    I thought that aspect of things was over when Aragorn explained it earlier. Gio has asked to be retired from eye-rise and probably feels abandoned.

    It's hard for any not so well person to respond as they normally would and hackles rise when told to get over themselves or that they are being silly.

    He requested the same thing here — see the pertinent report in the mod room — and at this point in time, he has already used up 17 hours and 50 minutes of his 24-hour grace time. He also chose to burn a few bridges on his way out.

    I'm not sure which aspect you are talking about, that post is mostly about how this thread has evolved, and is my way of voting for it to be closed, along the way attempting to apologise, just for the record. I don't think Aragorn can do that on my behalf. No more replies from me.

    I was referring to Aragorn explaining what was in the screenshot, which I thought had ended what Gio was complaining about. So, no worries.

    I wanted to have easy access to them Aragorn so I could grab the ones I wanted for a post? Did I go about doing that the wrong way?

    thanks

    No, but I'm not sure whether you would be able to attach them to a post if the album itself is set to "private".

    What? Geo is retiring? He is an institution. He can't do that.

    ...we need to patch things up. I really didn't realize things had gone so far.

    Oh yes, he can, because he has done it before.

    You have no idea how far.

    Like I said, he chose to burn a few bridges on his way out, and at this point in time, he's only 2 hours and 12 minutes away anymore from the expiry of the 24-hour grace time we extend to every member who asks for the retirement of their account.

    It's sad to see Gio leave again. Health issues, concerns with society, and disappointment in the alternative community seem to have taken their toll. I hope he will be well. We had fun on the TOT-casts, he seemed to enjoy himself and the conversations.

    Bless you my friend. The same thing occurred to me as well. We shall persevere. I love your art and the emotions it produces. Thank you for that alone. There should be no competition (or comparison) between artists as I see it, art is way above that, but I can understand you sentiments about it.

    The way I grew up and in my culture and lore...we are not allowed to "show off" so I too keep quiet about a lot of things. As I mentioned elsewhere this morning..."It blows more on the treetops than anywhere else."

    You are however a great gift to us here.
