STOP THE MADNESS!!

    Alright, I think this board is great and I like almost all the topics, fluff and intellectual.

    But will everyone get off AlanF, HillaryStep, Farkel, Norm, Amazing, Maximus, Hawkaw, Metatron, JanH, etc.'s back?????!!!!!

    Some posters stir everythng up and the board gets in a free for all for days!

    But to attack serious thinkers because they don't participate in the so-called fluff, they're raked over the coals.

    Alan is defending himself against the 'sharks' taking nips and potshots valiantly and capably.

    But WHAT'S THE POINT????? As Lilacs said, can't we get along? Anyone ever remember courtesy and listening politely to each other. (I get the irony that I'm not doing that right now--blush.)

    Sheesh!!! Everyone go take a chill pill, have a drink, take a walk, whatever!!

    And let's all ignore the pot-stirrers, who seem to thrive on this.

    Usually I can just ignore the squabbles, but it seems now everyone is going after the innocent and the really stimulating posters.

    I like the fluff and the mental-stimulating. LET IT GO PEOPLE!!!

    Now, I'm probably being a pot-stirrer myself. But I just don't want such fine posters to be driven off, as it seems Maximus was.

    How can people be so rude and thoughtless???

    Harumph!

    Hi Patio,

    I do not intend on bickering here but when you add a list of names as to who have been attacked, all you are doing is fanning the flames.

    I myself like all the posters on this forum. Believe it or not even youknow and Fred. As I said in another post. We complete each other. But there are a few here who's feelings have been hurt and it is going to take some time to get over that hurt. I feel the best we can do is just drop it.

    Written words have a way of being misunderstood. Believe me, I have been misundersttod many times online. Call me a whimp but all this arguing has brought me to tears. I hate when anyone who I feel is a friend gets their feelings hurt. When they hurt, I hurt. And right now I am hurting for xena. I talk to her often in chat and she has never been anything but kind.

    So please, I will call each and everyone of you and beg you personally to stop if that is what it takes. I don't want anymore hurt feelings here.

    Patio,
    I agree it looks like a feeding frenzy on the front page now. How pathetic to read the same lines from those who continue to stir the pot. It is obvious to all those reading who they are, they jump on any chances to down another poster. Inferiority complex at it's finest. I have said before and I will say again, they are doing nothing but showing how shallow they are and insecure with themselves as humans.

    I can tell you as someone who has been attacked before the best thing to do is laugh. Or walk away and watch them shadow box together. Pathetic, sad, little lives they lead.

    I for one would love to get back to the coffee shop and out of the back alley. So I am going inside, and spreading Christmas cheer to all

    Hi Lilacs,
    Good point about including the names. And I guess we'll have to be patient and wait for it all to die down. I enjoy the board too much and it enriches my life on the whole. Sorry about Xena's hurting.

    Mommy,
    Great analogy of getting back into the coffee house and out of the back alley! Thanks for the sentiments. It'll work out in time.

    Felicitations to all!

    The funny thing is.......Alan is defending people who, first of all were not attacked. Secondly some feel that the statements that were made were valid and Alan has as much as comfirmed those statements.

    This whole thread could have been stopped by Alan himself but he continues to show his elitist attitude, intelligence, and lack of feeling for fellow humans by posting one insult after another. You'd think that an educated man that does so much research could come up with some better insults. Just another manifistation of his "intelligence". If anyone wants to call this an attack....I would have to agree. Notice how many times I said STUPID, BRAINDEAD, MORON, IDIOT etc....

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for the reply. But I didn't want to 'fan the flames' further by starting yet another thread versus anyone. Your photo is very nice, btw.

    Cheers!

    Oh Xena,

    So sorry--I did not have you in mind when I referred to sharks. It was more of a vague, not-accurate, description.

    I really apologize for making it seem it was you. My impression is was just a whole bunch of folks.

    However, I have repented now and wish (as I was afraid I would) I had not blown off steam. Please do not leave because of my reference. It'll calm down, really! Just read the other threads for a while. Your posts are interesting.

    Please accept my apology if it seemed I was referring to you. You weren't in my mind. It was just mostly the number of threads up.

    Warmly,
    Pat
