To the Haters... Some Unsolicitied Advice
Lately, on some of my posts & comments I have gotten some unsolicited advice; or haterade. Things like how inane my polls are or that the wheels on a Porsche being properly secured are similar to a WR seal being properly seated, which I honestly do not care about.
But...
I have made those types of comments in the past responding to posts and comments I deemed silly or inane on a number of different websites. Every single time I did that, it was because I was miserable in my own real life and didn't know how to cope with those negative emotions and I lashed out anonymously online.
A wise person pointed this out to me and I learned how to better cope with my negative emotions and I try now to be positive and uplifting. I'm not perfect by any means, but I'm 1000% better than I was.
I hope you find the peace in your life where you do not need to release your negative emotions in reply to internet posts that have no bearing on our life in any way shape or form.
In the meantime, I plan on continuing to be myself; inane polls, comments and the whimsy of all of it. If that is too much for you, I'm sorry that I'm not sorry. I can't take responsibility for the happiness of others, just like I cannot expect others to be responsible for my happiness.
However, it turns out there is a feature built into WatchCrunch that will allow you to never have to see any of my WatchCrunch content ever again; if it offends you that much...
I would mute the haters, but that doesn't prevent you from seeing my content that triggers you to lash out; it just prevents me from seeing your negativity. Blocking would be better since that would remove my content from your viewership and allow me to better control my experience here, however @WatchCrunch does not have a Block feature.
I've been through a lot of online hate and I realize where it comes from, so I harbor no ill will towards you as a person if you do this.
But, muting me may bring a little peace into your life. Don't do it for me. Do it for yourself.
God Bless, haters.

Thanks guys/gals!
Ron Jeremy I CARE! I say “Keep the posts coming”.
Brother, your content is great. I enjoy you on this platform.
Keep posting and f£&k em, I like your stuff and watch style, remember all you’ve gotta do in life is be polite to one another and love watches! 👍🏻
You're still cool in my book, bud. Cheers to you!
Whatever you do don't go to washuseek. That place is a toxic nightmare.
Humor on a watch site is tough, whether whimsical or caustic. Keep at it.

Can't be any worse than Twitter, right?
I been on Twitter for almost 14 years
BTW, I'm not calling it 'X'.

I didn't even know they changed the name. And yeah I imagine it's worse.
You're awesome man keep on keepin' on. I know what you mean though, I had a whole thread of some British kid trying to tell me how bad owning a gun is, and how America is lost and lawless 🙃

Well Musky is trying to change it, but 'X' is trademarked by others including Microsoft & Meta.
Folks who spit venom often have their own issues & lash out in frustration - be thick skinned and just laugh at 'em. Just keep doing what you enjoy & sod the haters 😉👍🏻

If I was him I'd trademark every other letter just to mess with them.
The numbers too.
And hand gestures.
And breathing.
Lol

The funniest thing is that they have had X trademarked for years.
Musky really thought he could do a full re-brand in one weekend. Lol

I would have called it Space Twitter instead.
Very well said sir!
Dude! Sorry to hear some silly or cruel comments have come your way. but like you said: ignore and move on, mute, or both.
Report if really bad.
It’s a very thoughtful and introspective mea culpa above and I’ve got to say I noticed how much more of a positive person you’ve become.
I do remember in the early days on crunch sometimes thinking : “dam! @UnholiestJedi is a rough and angry character 😬”
Had to be weary of offending
But lately, you’re a great positive voice here and I’m so glad it’s tracked with you being in a better headspace in your regular life.
Kudos my friend 💪

Is block different than mute? How would it work?
BTW, You guys do a great job curating, cheers for that. 👏🍻

Muting a person stops you from seeing their posts, comments & replies.
Blocking a user does the same for both of you. You can't see their posts, comments & replies & they can't see your posts, comments & replies.
If some one replies to their comments, then you can still view their reply, but only if you open that reply.
Like this if I had muted/blocked Chronos14. Shahn's reply would show me Chronos14's reply which I could read if I wanted.
I'm with you, though I've had relatively few inappropriate posts here.
Inane polls are a big reason I'm here.
