Greetings to all,
What a thread this turned out to be! Woooweee!!
Glad I warmed a few hearts by agreeing with bigboi on something. I mean the guy actually said something right so it's not like I had a choice or anything.
I found it very interesting that when I agreed with bigboi I got:
:Good for you Julie.
Yet when I agree with Seeker I got:
:What do you want Seeker unqualified acceptance like you get from your 'groupies'?
We could see this a variety of different ways. Bigboi is black, Seeker is white. Is that it? Bigboi's view seems to go better with Dannybear's view than Seeker's so that could be it. I paid compliments to my old friend Seeker that I didn't to bigboi, but I doubt it is that. Ah well, doesnt' matter. I am used to being hassled for being in agreement with certain folks from time to time. I remember if I ever agreed with Jan on something (on old h20) I was one of "Jan's fans". If I ever write anything which might agree with Alan F. he is my "mentor" and now, for agreeing with Seeker I am a "groupie". But again, since I agree with bigboi--kudos all around!! Amazing. Almost "dogmatic".
Dannybear I have to tell you I have known Seeker for years, on a personal level. He is, without a doubt, the least judgemental, most open-minded, unoffendable person I have ever had the honor to know. He does not subscribe to hyperbole or fact twisting and has a great deal of integrity. One more fact about this friend of mine, he will readily admit error or retract a statement that was wrong. I think you are way off on your view of Seeker.
Just my 2 cents worth--
Julie
