[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
:crying:

How did you install it? Wipe your phone clean, then flashed cm22 and gapps, wipe caches, and reboot? Or just went into System, About Phone, CyanogenMod Updates? How *exactly* did you install this new cm11 snapshot, please. Details, details...

...thans!

You know, brkahughes, when scottgti make his quip about "^^^ shortest [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] message ever", complete with arrows pointing to the above post, I was a little annoyed at first. So I took a closer look for evidence of malice. There was none. He even put a smilie face on it to keep it light and all in good fun. That is okay and yeah, kind of funny. I got branded on another forum as being loquacious and was ready to jump all over the guy. But I had no enemies there, just the typical "Oh here comes Ohmster with another book to read" stuff. Looked up the word loquacious, and it was true! I cannot be upset by someone stating the truth in perhaps the nicest and most polite way I ever imagined.

In mild cases, having a loquacious personality affliction is harmless often called an eccentricity, and maybe mildly annoying, but that is about it. In much stronger manifestations, it becomes a psychological personality disorder and can lead to some major problems. Mine is mild. With the amount of stress I have and the need to "explain every detail", I would expect it. When I was in Kindergarten, I went to Catholic School and even at 5 years old, my teacher, Sister Felicia (Nun), made me get down under her big wood desk, between her legs, and sit there for the entire morning as punishment for talking to Carol Buenomo. (Catholic school is nuts, they hit you with rulers. I got kicked out in 4th grade for picking up the blackboard pointer and telling my teacher, Mrs. Ryan, "En garde!". I was no way going to let her hit me with that big yardstick for stupid stuff like talking in class.)

I found myself sitting on a small wooden 2x2 under the closed in wooden desk, between the nun's legs. It stank really rank down there. I don't think nuns bath every day and it smelled like, well, you know what skanky girls smell like, "down there". The nun was not trying to do anything sexual or molest me, she just had a strange method of punishing students. I am the only one to merit that particular punishment. We did not have "time out" in those days. I started wiggling and pulling nails out of the desk out of boredom. I finally got out at lunch time, I "did my bid" for talking in class. During the 4 years I stayed in Catholic School, the most common punishment for talking in class was for the nun or teacher to approach the student, make them put out their hand, palm down, and then whack the back of the kid's hand very, very hard with a super strong 12" wooden ruler. Man, that school was nuts! Once I fought back with the pointer, my mom finally relented to my constant asking to go to Public School where they had real ball fields, uniforms, all balls and equipment with locker room and showers, wood shop, science lab, metal shop, and all things super cool. Phys Ed at Catholic School was where a nun put on sneakers and stood with a whistle and a watch while the kids got a ball to play with on either the basketball hoop or softball and bat for the rear parking lot. After 45 minutes, the nun blew the whistle and you reported directly to your next class. No shower or any of that stuff.

As you can see, I can talk quite a bit, but never like this on Tapatalk. The friendly poke by scottgti didn't bother me much, until, I saw this huge list of "thanks for telling the guy to shut up" people, many of which are "my friends". That was a bit much. Now it is not just a simple poke in the arm with a grin, now it was becoming "mob mentality", and THAT

...is scary.

So now all these people I believe are real friends "may have a tiny ax to grind", ...maybe. Who knows? Several are in my friend list. It will definitely affect the way I interact with them until/unless it blows over. I asked a question about your post, you mentioned me by name and there was nothing bad about it. Regardless of what people may think, I am not nor do I believe that I am a "know it all" so I politely asked what this "nav bar" thing is. The way you described it, this sounded like something really cool and as far as I knew, you were talking about the notification bar. It was not until I made my point and finished up that I double checked your name against "The List".

Oh, so you are one of them, I see

. But you were kind, excited about your discovery, and was very polite. I had to re-think my "List" ideal. Maybe they were all just having a bit of fun at my expense and it was playful, never malicious, and the only thing that shocked me the most was the number of people listed and the number of people I know. There were about 3-4 people who, in my wildest dreams, would I ever think to say anything negative to someone they purport to be friends with, other than to disagree about phones, cm11, or the focus of the forum. Never about such personal issues.

I came here to learn about phones, Kit Kat, and CyanogenMod Rom #11 because that was the next update to my Android devices and I really, really like Cyanogen ROMs. I never expected to get a social education or be the subject of such a social incident. I guess you are never too old to learn something. Just wanted to clear that up a bit because of the way I came off. I really did intend to keep everyone on that list at arm's length but it seems rather trivial now. At least for you and I. scottgti too because he was very friendly and joking about it. It is the "quite a few" "Me toos" who call themselves my friend that trouble me now. Probably a lot of fuss over nothing. I might lose a couple of friends over it but better to lose friends you never really had than to lose the ones who have always been an important part of one's life.

...phew! Quite a bit of philosophy, huh? :confused:

But it was your opening statement on post #3681 that put me at ease and gave me the opportunity to get to the cool rom business at hand and then muse over the significance of of scottgti's post #3659 and his camp of "followers".

I do like this Nav Bar and those additional arrows on the keyboard are SO overdue it is not even funny. Ever type up something like a text or dictate it with voice typing and then go back to correct it? Trying to get that cursor to the exact right spot to place a colon or whatever was sheer hell man. Now with Nav Bar and arrows, this will help me, personally, a great deal. I even like the colors and glow. Thanks for posting and putting it in my face by name. I might have missed that. And also thanks for being nice. There are so many "mean" people in the world I just cannot take anymore of them. I get stuck with the fallout in the form of emotionally damaged girlfriends and once the damage is done, cleaning it up is hell or utterly impossible. :crying:

G'night brkahughes!
