Again, I'm stubborn because I think things through, and I know when it doesn't fit. I don't see a need to force other people's ideas that I know won't work in, particularly in cases like Jamie & Jackie where Jamie being lifelong friends with Lila and Nixon wasn't that huge of a deal.

I don't get mad when people go against me; I get irritated (and there's a difference) when people act like they understand my concepts better than I do. Again, with Jamie & Jackie I had already mentally written out the plots between the characters, whether or not they would be seen on the show, and knew exactly how they met, how they effected each other, and how everything came to what it is when the series picked up. So when you and other users came in and told me how my relationships would work better, yeah I got a little irritated. I knew why that wouldn't work, and I said why that wouldn't work, but you (and others, but mostly you) wouldn't listen to me.

Again, just because my first response isn't "YES Okay LET"'S go WIth YER AwesMEO iaDEA!!! <3 <3 <3" doesn't mean I'm not open to change and I haven't considered it. If someone makes a suggestion I look at it, put it in my story, and see if it fits. If it doesn't, I respond and tell them no, I can't use that. If it does, I thank them for their idea and add it. I added that Jamie and Jackie were going to college for business as well as music composition because I thought that would fit. And even when it is a little over-complicated, I will eventually relent- i.e., NAHEA2. When it was clear I would not be able to pull off the children plot, I gave it up and changed it to unrelated characters. Yeah, I'm a little stubborn, and I didn't want to give up on it. But I did.

The reason I use "It was already approved" is the reason that approvals happen. I got involvement from other users and all the required approvals, the fact that you didn't get involved to question it then isn't really my problem. Once I've handled something, I'm not interested in going back and handling it all over again. Like Emma & Johnny's music. It took me weeks to come up with songs I could use and to get all the approvals I needed. And several weeks after I finally finished it off, you pop up and try to completely undo it. So yeah, I wasn't interested in listening to you. As an admin and a music president, you should have been online so that you could be involved in the initial conversation. And you weren't, and that's not my problem. "It is their job to find these threads."

Rudeness, yeah okay sometimes it slips. My family is not always the absolute most polite people on earth, and I've been raised to speak my mind. I'm not mean, I don't bully, but I don't soften blows. If I think someone's being obviously ignorant or annoying, I'm probably going to tell them straightforward, and it's probably going to come off as a little rude. But it accomplishes what I want it to a lot better than "not to be mean" and "it's just a suggestion" usually do.

I don't get angry when things don't go my way...? I get a little irritated (again, there's a difference) when people ignore my opinion, but if I'm obviously losing I usually just give up (willingly and sometimes even happily, but certainly not angrily, and even if I have been angry before it's certainly not "constantly"). Again, NAHEA2.

I can't think of any time I get snippy with Cool kids, maybe a little bit sarcastic or harsh when he's being ignorant, but not in a mean way. Bader... Bader's just the kind of the person that gets on my nerves (no offense Bader if you read this; not that you really should be reading it, it's kind of my private message wall). He's just attention-grabbing and a little... flighty. And yeah, I tend to snap at that kind of person. Or usually avoid them. But the former is easier on this kind of website.

That's kind of needless antagonization. It's not like I log on and go "OH MY GOSH MATT POSTED SOMETHING I BETTER GO DISAGREE WITH HIM NOW". You and I tend to have differing opinions. I'm not going to post on every thread "I agree with Matt!" just to please you. If I disagree, I'm going to disagree. And here's an example of my rudeness-when-necessary: Get over it.
