For Scooby,
I have read most all of your posts since you arrived here. You recieved warm welcome from all.
Many of us have gone out of our way to be patient and kind to you. Often you bring up interesting and heated questions, and mostly we all try to give you our best advice and opine.
You generally show critisism for out efforts, assume that we are wrong and say so without showing a willingness to talk things out and discuss our differences.
I continue to remain patient with you, but feel you need some personal responsibility for your own behavior here. You use a boxing technique. Jab and dodge. And after a while it gets repeatative and forseeable.
Take for instance your jab at Sheila. You said (loosely) that other sites were more lenient in how they treat people. That JW's should be granted some special favor that society at large does not deserve. What you said was rediculous, and when someone pointed out that such thinking is flawed, you jabbed at her again with the marine thing knowing her son is a marine, but not addressing the bigger issue (that other sites are moderated etc).
You need to learn that when you continually irritate that people will respond in kind. You can wear on the most patient of people with such behavior.
I have also noted your willingness to spar with Minimus. You know that you are not interested in any meaningful discussion with him, just another boxing match.
When have you ever on jwd welcomed someone unconditionally and continued a cyber friendship (other than BT and Cruzan)? and is that only because you feel you have a moderator in your pocket?
Others have been just as kind, but get no acknowledgement from you.
When have you ever joined in meaningful conversation and stuck it out to the end listening to anybody elses differing views without screaming "foul"?
I have yet to see it happen. I say these things not to hurt you, but I want you to take personal responsibility for your actions. I don't base this on one or several of your postings, but on them all as a whole.
God knows I am not an angel, but I can at least revisit my comments, and apologize if I feel I was wrong, or misunderstood. If you don't care about people here then why visit? Do you have a motive that you are willing to share? Do you have an excuse for all the jabs, or is it dodging time again?
I continue to hope that you are sincere in some way that I just don't understand. I hope that you can reveal a little about your true feelings and that you can learn empathy for people.
