Now THIS I find amazing

[reallyME]

I see something I am going to change now.  I am going to keep my posts directed with using examples of other people not from this board.  I've said all I needed to and wanted to toward any person here at this point.  I'm not on this board as a result of one of the board member's behaviors, but as the result of the N who was in my life at one point.

Blessya Bean.  You have great perception and you will go far in life!

What amazes me is this ongoing hissy cat fight on this board.   Actually, calling it a hissy cat fight is putting it mildly.   Let's call a spade a spade.......it is bullsh*t between a couple of  drama queens.  Note, I didn't call y'all narcissists, though I suspect each of you will have your own chapter in Dr. G's next book.   Each one of you  is trying to be right, line up allies, and get in the last word.   Having the last word doesn't make you right.   

If you don't like someone, or what they say,  then do not read their posts.  Do not engage.  It is as simple as that.   "Never argue with idiots.  They ' ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." 

I suggest you both take a break from this board.

Bah....

AmazedGuest:

I'm not sure how to welcome disdain.

Sometimes it's a complicated effort here, but we'll work it out.



Anything good about the board you'd like to observe?

Is there anything about yourself you'd like to share here?

That would be welcome...you'll find caring listeners, warts and all.

I have decided for myself to stay on this board.  I do not appreciate your comments toward Penelope or myself.  We have butt heads before, but in the end, I know we agree to disagree and we both grow through it.  The only difference here, is that our discussion and disagreement is in text, rather than face to face, therefore, since it's a public board, you are privy to it.  It does not make our way of communication wrong.  It would be more wrong for us to not have communicated or heard each other at all.  That is how this board runs things and so far, anyone on here who had a dispute, ended up resolving it or coming to some form of peace from what I can tell.

Penelope and I, I believe, have reached a place of mutal peace.  Is this right, Penelope?

Smiles and blessings,

Laura

Hey RM:

That's what it looks like to me (and I commented so on the "To Penelope" thread....and just now noticed your post!  Cool!   

Again, I'm glad for both of you.

I posted the very quotes from someone on this board...PROVED to you all, that I was told first to answer questions and then not to respond, and not one of you said "hey, that was a mixed message!"  "hey! bait and switch goin on there"  Ummmm, and you all were raised or acquainted with N's?  So are we all TRULY voiceless when such a blatant thing happens on this message board?  You see an N trait played out right before your eyes, and stand back to watch it happen and watch the person be utterly blasted.  hmmmm, giving me some thoughts here for sure.  Thanks so much for exhibiting another "bystander effect" all who saw this and did NOTHING.

I'm not here everyday due to job and school constraints so I have no idea which thread you are referring to.  Am I being defensive?  Maybe.  I just don't feel comfortable being accused of something when I have no idea what the original reference point was.  Thank you.

Hi Bones,
It's over, really. Two people had a big conflict and resolved it.
There was some spray.

You might be happier starting with fresh topics...?

Hope all is well with you,

Hey Bones,

   Always good to read you     How are your studies going? Now would be a great time for some fresh input and new topics, if you've got any in your back pocket. I hope you're having a great day!

Thanks, Hope!

Right now I'm in between assignments and taking a small break from writing three final papers for the one course that I'm taking.  I'll be glad to get these three papers and the course finished so I can possibly come up with new topics and fresh input.

[Certain Hope]

Oh, I understand, Bones.

Three papers... that's alot of focus and energy being poured out. Doesn't leave much available resources for fresh stuff when I get in that concentrated mode, I know. Just want to get finished, defragment my mind, and then I can move on. Kinda running dry here myself, with seemingly alot of extra challenges these days. A busy household here and I'm missing my quiet, alone time.  Anyhow, this too shall pass and for now, I wish you the best of success on those papers and I hope you'll find some refreshment and re-inspiration to get the job done!

Bah.... 

And Amazed Guest, I apologize for calling you a moron.  I should have engaged the brain before I said that.  Now I see that you were just confused.  That's what we tend to do when we don't understand something, or something makes us extremely uncomfortable, or we simply don't like it.  We react in fear and we reject it.  But now I see that if something makes me extremely uncomfortable, it's for a reason and that's because there's a lesson there for me.  So even you have something to teach me Amazed Guest cause I realize I don't particularly like you, and that's OK for now.

I'm trying to hang in there, one day at a time.

Jac, 

  I agree. Even before reading about the Shadow aspect we each carry within us, I had that same sense of it... just pure frustration.
And I wondered... how common is a response like this, following a large turmoil/upheaval? As the primary players complete their exchanges and all appears to return to normal, how many are left behind with a load of such frustration and nowhere to deposit that burden? I felt it to a certain extent and can see that it can be very difficult to process, especially when it catches you by surprise.
I think your Shadow thread explains alot about the source of that frustration and why it sometimes can hit us so hard.
Anyhow...
   Amazed Guest, whoever you are, I hope you're feeling better now and that you'll be able to come to terms with this... I know it's not easy. Looking forward to meeting you under any name you choose, whenever/ if ever you want to talk.

With love,
Hope
