  Allright Rosemarie....I've had just about enough of your crap about me in this thread and I know your talikin about me dammit!

  Just kidding. Hey though.....did I get ya at first?

  When I first came to this board I was one sensative smuck and I had a hard time with many who were really simply like myself......a smartass sometimes.......but mean well and show that by other things they have written and said. I think most who tick you off...if you get to know them.....they become OK people. There are some who are plain flat weird bastards too...... and well...........?????? they can't help it cuz their weird bastards

  I think this is a great thread rosemarie and started one myself awhile back on 'do non believers bash christians too hard' as I had the same thoughs as you when you asked this. I think for the most part........many here especially new ones......do not feel like they are being heard or recognised enough or at all.......along with being sensetive

  Yes. It made me cry. He put this little woman in her place, he sure did. For months I wanted to bring the subject up to see if there could be some help for something that is very painful to me and I don't know how to fix. I didn't have the nerve to start a thread about it on my own, so when someone else did, I opened up. (dumb) I won't be sharing anything anytime soon.

  Yes I have. From a very few . who are very disrespectful. Having intolerance for differences.

  From the energies I pick up is something I won't want to do is sit down and have a cup coffee with. I rather fly with 's not 's.

  Not really. I'm a born debater/arguer and I enjoy all fracas that ensue when I am engaged in a heated discussion. Just makes it more fun for me to tear the other argument down. Fuel for the flames!

  I got flamed last year (or maybe very early this year), I was real proud since it was my first time being flamed.

  "Give as good as you get" is quite immature but sometimes its the only way to get someone off yer back.

  The poster picked on all my spelling errors and he was awful He called me racial slurs, and it hurt. I felt like never posting her again. But i recovered.

  Seems to me the purpose of language is to communicate. When someone starts nit picking over misspelled words and bad grammar they are really saying, "look how superior I am." When the resort to racial slurs and sarcasm they should be asked if they would be happier posting elswhere.

  Good thread Rosemarie
  

  I have found the forum offers something I wish was available outside the forum, loose women..no, free beer...no..give up!

  The ability to look back at a members first posts or topics which they have posted on. When you have a face to face with someone and they totally fly off the handle over something which seems plain and simple you often think..what's up thier caboose. (I read Simons post on nasty words..hence the caboose)

  Here on the forum I have seen some fly off the handle over topics which 99% of the forum see in the same light ..yet they don't. Then you read about them and it often clears up in some ways why they feel or reacted a certain way. I think as individuals we are all moulded by our past and present circumstances, try as we may we can't help it.

  For instance... I feel so betrayed by the WTBTS that my feelings and words often take on a hate which sometimes I can't control.

  Then I see a few who post regularly and defend the WTBTS although they claim not too...Then I'll read back through thier posts and see they do not feel the same betrayal as I do, they have not experienced a tribunal or if they did it just happened to be that rare occurance where it was men who actually placed the needs of the individual first.

  Anyway... before you get hurt or retort with a stinging reply, the time machine tool on the forum enables you to look back and possibly see why that person reacted like they did.

  If you truly care about your fellowman take the time to see what makes them tick.

  Mouthy, precious, my perception is that you would never intentionally hurt anyone....and I follow your posts; I've never read one thing which caused hurt to me . You're such an honest, loving woman...and it shows.
