Restrangled I am sorry you are feeling upset.
One thing I have learned, at least more than in the past, is to not take things personally. Unfortunately, some people are judgmental. I suspect it comes from being part of a
judgmental cult.
Let it slide by.
Besides, I love doggies!
Love

Noooo, you are a beloved member and so is your husband. Do you think maybe Skally was referring to your avatar? Like say someone might call me Billy Jack because of my hat? Please never let one person speak for us all. I personally feel very grateful to you and those like you who help and encourage us when we are in need. Please have a big hug from me!
one of your most prominent members
vocal? yes.
acerbic? yes.
prominent? hardly.
So let me get this straight restrangled...your not a dog posing as a ex-JW humanoid with a dog avatar trying to overthrow the government to put in a place a K-9 Utopian society?
A sense of humor can go a long way at times like this.
It MUST be something in the water! You can look at my "venting" thread of last night...that says essentially the same thing.....someone said something that HURT.
I flustered amd blustered over it...and I feel better now....with the help of some kind posters. As you can see, you ARE thought of in the nicest way.
hugs,
Annie
restrangled, I think sKally does have a rather venomous tongue, but in that context I think it was referring to your avatar in much the same way as someone might call me "the book".
I think if it was intended as an insult it would have be worded "a dog" or just "dog".
Did you ask her what she meant by that, or mention you were offended on Gabbly?
Thanks everyone for your kind words. I probably over reacted. This should be a red flag to myself that I am getting way to emotionally involved on this Board.
There has been so much pain and angst over the last couple of days, it is hard sometimes to keep everything in perspective.
Thanks again everyoneyou are a great group!

I did not know there was an "active talk site."
Neither did I!!!! But I would have thought it was because of your picture (aviator).
Now I have said that I want you ALL to know ,,,,I too am rather direct & I have a weird sense of humor.
So maybe skally is one of them also. I cant remember her posts ( old age) but If at any time ANY of you are offended by my remarks PLEASE e-mail me so I can put it right.... I mean this
The 'active talk site' is a chat room - gabbly.com - no big deal, not a very sophisticated chat room either ... not nearly as fun as the old JWD chat used to be.
Sic 'em!
Just kidding.
