trading insults happens among kids all the time.. intellectual development hasn't progressed to the point where they can present contrary ideas and opinions with persuasive appeal to reasons, facts and logic.. "i know you are; but what am i?".
"your momma's so fat....".
so, they fall back on childish mocking, provocation and personal attack.. as we grow older and have more education and sophistication our minds should mature---or so you'd think!.
Dear Tec, :) + x to you, you're extreme patience and faith, blended with genuine compassion is transparent to me.
St, I understand what you are saying in regard to your post, but as far as a believer, well the only thing I believe in these days is fair play, I have not picked up a bible since I walked out on the 5th of april this year, I can't even look at it, I do see the frustration for both sides of the coin. The Song thats rolling around in my head these days is John Lennon's - 'God' song .....
Talesin, greetings to you! I should of been more clear in my post, I was in a hurry-I apologize because yes people that tell there story are warmly received. It was actually the content I was hesitant to bring up, the errr well lets say unexplained phenomena side of things is/ can be met with disbelief,to say the least, understandably.
James i can only apologize for the 'closemindedness' and hope that it will become more open and flexible, I don't want to reside in the peanut gallery forever.
And Terry, dear Terry, yes my dear man I too thought by the end of it that post was a bit 'Windy n long' aside from the whaaa whaaa emotional bleating of it though, I still stand by it. I'll try to take a feather from your cap in regard to the length of things xx

St,
I'm not saying you are combative, I said some people(anywhere in this world) are surely you agree on this,or can see this to some extent, and to be honest I'm such a slow typer by the time I have sent something off its 3 odd pages up the road. I can't even cut and paste (opening arms for ridicule)
If it seem s as though I am critisizing others its actully the actions not the person, I'm sorry if you thought otherwise, there's a few threads like this going on at the moment there must be some truth in it if old and new posters are in agreeince.
Also in regard to jumping in on things well...I know you MAY scoff but I feel at this point in time other than my own personal experiences in life I have nothing to offer, I'm not well read to ALL the subjects on here, and feel like most of the time I would be a hindrance more than a help to others. I also think we can just keep fanning the flames which seems pointless.
I understand what you say about your past REALLY I do, you were brought up in a violent home which suxs majorly,it leaves scars. l I was brought up in a home where you did not dare question anything, you were told what to do and when to do, and the one thing/emotion I can say I took out of all my childhood was a deep shame that somehow I was not worthy enough to contribute to jack shit. Do you know I sooo wanted to post my story on here(would of taken a week to write it) but I did'nt because it felt like I would be told I was full of shit, and to put some of the deeply personal things I WANTED to share up for shredding by others put me off. I'm not saying we all have to pat each other on the back and not question anything truly I'm not, its just some enviroments promote honesty of thought and intent rather than provacation of an individual. We all know when we are pushing someone's buttons,
Its not about boo hoo poor me, although it was for along time, its just and please try to understand me on this, we can get our points across without reducing others to rubble. That last paragraph about the venon etc was uncalled for, I apologize, I read BOTR's thread and felt frustrated that yet another well liked poster was questioning there existance on their site,-what ever people thought of AGUEST she had as much right as anyone to be here, personally I think some of the vivd color on this international mural has dulled in her absence, but she left because of the insults, she said herself she was 'brokenhearted' we can both understand that.
Anyway I've got to go I'm heading out am already late due to slow as keyboard skills, I can do a 12 course degustation for 500, yet can't find my way round a keyboard Kay Sara.
Take it easy ST and have a good night over there in good ol Aoteoroa, I miss the paua. (sigh)

If you think like a victim you will be one.
True very true.
Treat others as you want to be treated, thats the way I think, ok I could go all 'hateful' or put others down but it would serve no purpose , except to make someone else feel like shit, its not my ambition in life or on this site.
Sorry if it shocks/pisses you off, if you cannot see that the insults on some threads hold no purpose but to pull a crowd, than maybe that is where you are lacking in something. STARTING a thread to mock someone/s time and time again serves no one but the OP and the hangers on. You can call it anyway you want but thats the way I see it. JUST ME.
Look through eyes that are actually open and fair in regard to hearing others and you may find that all this tooing and froing of certain subjects gets people nowhere but pissed off or hurt, or is it the intention to alienate so theres a tight little group of people who all are in agreeince to the same way of thinking because well its a FACT dammit and LOGICAL AND science has proved it. Yes there majors but not everything in life.
Some people are naturally combative, others well it makes them sick to the stomach, you equate that with weakness, I equate it to be a sign of reasonableness conducive to healthy discussion. I do recognise how differant we all are, I work with upto 20 odd guys at once most of the time I am the only female, I listen to antagonizing arseholes all day(at work) long, funny thing is when those extremely opininated and without any compassion individuals are called out on it, they BOO HOO the most, generally threatening to walk, its a real case of dish it out but can't take it.
As far as Terry, well the 'Magic thinking' thread was the first of his I read, it made alot of sense, but don't make the mistake as to being a victim is only if you chose that way, we are all victims of something even our own ego's.

I think this site was designed to help trauma not cause it- BOTR
No BOTR you are not alone with your feelings on all this,as usual you make a lot of sense, I am like you in the way that I want this to be a positive experience and see the growth within myself, its easy to get angry about whats being written here- (this site) sometimes when its a blatent stab at individuals. Its not about farting rainbows and shining halo's it's just a little respect for each others opinions, progressing to a discussion and not a gangland massacre, it saddens me that after all the crap you have to go to, to even get the nerve up to check out a site like this, than join, than try to participate with a bunch of people that have all been there and done that, that there is so little regard for anyone else's views, in particular beliefs. Theres so much more I wanted to write but I know its no good to even try to reason with some, they are just hell bent on ridiculing, mocking and declaring others mentally unfit.
Now where have we ALL heard/seen that before.
It sucks reading that people like talsin are hesitant to start threads, she's been here 9 odd years WTF is up with that, how long does it take to feel ok about starting a thread on your thoughts/ideas/beliefs here.
Or do you just have to have a venomous rotten to the core mindset, where proving yourself right, and bludgeoning the life out of another human being is more satisfying than any other road that could be taken.
EGO'S!!!
