Well I discovered the other board today. The new lurking place of my old nemesis TrollHound... Same ol' Charlie... at least he applied his anger against people who were smacking Mulan around.
It's just ranting nonsense. It means nothing. Who is this chick? What is she talking about? Who cares? I don't know.
I noticed that jjizro is over there as well - wow, that board seems to be a kind of drain grate that collects all kinds of debris. Next stop, Hell's Forum...
I don't know anything about the other site.. and I don't want to know where it is . I have heard too much negative about the other board and too much mud slinging. I am all grown up and I don't need to be acting like some elementary school kid on the playground.
I like you, I like your posts, I like your honesty.. and that is what counts with me..
Your up front, you say what your thinking.. and I appreciate that in a person.
Really Prisca...you can't read very well. If you felt threatened by something I said then I do apologize. I am not a violent person and I was probably letting my irritation with you get the best of me. It really isn't that hard to apologize to someone you see? I never claimed I was right all the time and I have never been one to not apologize or try and make peace. The only thing is that its a two way street and when one side continually antagonizes it makes it hard to forget stuff that has happened in the past. Just think about it and perhaps we can end the hostilities, otherwise we'll go back and forth to no end.
Stepping politely in here........and quietly..........
I was probably letting my irritation with you get the best of me. - v
yup. I remember when he called ALL the moderators here "old fucks." I'm not even a mod....and I was slightly insulted - perhaps because he insinuated that all old people were fucks by nature? (there's no squinting hard smilie......so insert here, Valis).
Enough of the under 30 or so mods answered back (along with me who's waaaaaaaaaay over 30) and Valis rethought his irritation and apologized for letting his irritation get the best of him.
Mods? Irritation? Go figure.*****
Hopefully, Prisca will accept Valis' apology. Life's way too short.
stepping quietly out now.........................
*****edited to add I was just kidding about mods & irritation. Really.
*LOL* waiting...you don't even want to know the flack I took over the old f comment...*LOL* I try my best to be good, but dang it is hard sometimes! I suppose in a perfect world we would all have dust ups, then get over it and get back to being friends, which as you pointed out about time being too short...Also too few friends and too little time make for a rather sad and frustrating life. Something I hope never happens to me!
I have never been to the other site either. When I heard it first talked about here, I thought I would check it out, but with all this negative talk regarding it, I can't imagine wanting to be there now. I know it isn't easy ignoring when things are said about you. What has helped me at times like this, is to stress over those things we can control, and try not to over the things we can't. I am pretty sure some things are being said nasty about me right now at a JW site which is private but still I'll be trashed and my reputation ruined, but, it is one of those things I can't control. You are obviously loved here at this site. I am quite sure I have never read one bad thing about you here. That says a lot. So hopefully all these people whom you have thanked for support will see you through this. I'm sorry all this has happened when you have been dealing with other family issues. When it rains it pours. But hopefully the friends here can provide you with the umbrella you need to get through it.
It's not the place that makes a forum........it's the posters (well, ok, the owner & mods too).
As for the posters over at jwo? There are some really friendly ones - and some who aren't sometimes. I'm not terribly welcome there.............but I love to read Naeblis & visit with some others. It's an addiction, I know. And there are some good posters there - they used to be here. They're still my friends. The ones I didn't get along with.....go figure, I still don't. It's the poster.......not the forum.
To deem any forum/people/posters as all good/all bad.......is black/white thinking - which is a common human error that the WTBTS capitalizes upon.
But this old cranky place is still my fav..............in spite of my posting here.
edited to add.........there were actually only two posters at jwo who slammed Mulan - many posters defended her there, as many people know Mulan, from her postings and from meeting her. Lovely lady.
