Flower and Mouthy, and all others who feel the same, this is for you,
I applaud jst2laws for what he is doing.
You are sending a message that will be heard !
Although I stated that I was 'uncomfortable' (to quote) with this thread, I am NOT against it or its purpose. I just object to some of the attitudes that have been displayed in the discussion.
The following comments are directed more at the debate which has ensued, and NOT in any way at the intent of the topic of this thread.
In other words, TO THE HOSTILE LURKERS
Here is a good example of how WE can disagree, debate the issues, but still get our message across. Even though we are disagreeing, EVEN ON THIS VERY THREAD, doesn't it bug ya a bit, how many bethelites and scholars are on our rolls? BITE ME !! bwaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaa!!!
But, I digress,
(first, I want to say that some of you really touched my heart with your compassionate responses to this issue ... I think in some way, all of you, understand what Flower first addressed and many others feel, was a good point)
CyrusThePersian & Xena
Thanks for your comments & support !
Little Toe
You said it just the right way, back on page one ... thanks. You too, slipnslidemaster & wheelwithinwheel.
Big Tex,
I note that your last comment did NOT say, 'talesin, you've got a PM'.
I thought I was clear when I stated, DO NOT SEND ME A PM.
This is too much; if you have something to say, then post it. I do not like paternalistic, condescending behaviour, and imo, this is what you are displaying. There is no 'back room' on this forum, so don't try to take me there, no matter what the intent of your Personal Message.
I do not want to 'make peace' privately, or conversely, be 'reprimanded' - this issue needs to be kept out in the OPEN. You, of all people, should know how damaging secrets are. {{{Chris}}}
I will NOT be reading this PM; please respect my personal boundaries.
PS, I am not as much angry as I am astonished. I specifically asked, NO PMs, whassup with that?
First, no respect for Grace, now no respect for me.
I know you are passionate about these issues, BT, as am I, but that does not give you the right to insist that I agree with you, or to disrespect my wishes re my personal space.
I ASK, WHERE IS MOUTHY? Granny, we need your counsel. We hear you with open hearts.
Once again, I am being upfront, please respond in same (or not). I'm not asking for anything; if you can't say it here, then say nothing.
I'm taking a break for a few days. Even then, I don't think I will check back on this thread. As I said, this is just too much right now.
(although I would like to add a note of humour, I do not want to detract from what I feel is the seriousness of this issue, sorry, folks for being such a downer, but sometimes imo things just need to be addressed ... so crucify me heheheh sorry, i just couldn't help myself, i love you all - talesin)
