oh, my goodness...

RM, I think you are confusing Lupine with Lupita.  I dont think anyone knows who Lupine is, nor her ethnic background. 

Lupine,

Here's how you delete this topic:

At the bottom of the first page of the thread is a button that says REMOVE TOPIC.  Push that button and this will all go away (if you want it to).

Before this thread gets deleted, I would like to say that Lupine's original post had some interesting points that have not been addressed.  In my opinion, Lupine, it seems like you were disturbed for a reason and should not have had to feel so thoroughly apologetic.  Also, I don't understand how Storm's posts and Lupine's posts could be mistaken for each other.  Each of our posts has our names on them.  I think my point here is that more consideration can be put into our responses here because there is some accountability for what we say and which screen name belongs to the speaker.  We voiceless ones tend to need to respond too quickly it seems.  It sounds like Bean felt hurt by something and spoke too quickly.  It seems like Lupine responded to that by apologizing very quickly.  And Storm seems to have been accused of saying/doing something she did not do.

My request is for more deliberation if possible.  I am trying to learn to calm myself when hurt and give myself time to really see facts.  I suspect that is something many voiceless ones need to practice and learn how to do.

I think I understand, Lighter.  I felt some anxiety when this thread first came up.  But this is perhaps the third or fourth time for me to have experienced something like this on the board, and I admit that I'm feeling pleased on a personal level that I have learned to calm myself better than ever before. 

But me learning to calm myself better certainly doesn't require that others have to experience anxiety!!!  So, when the thread is gone, it's gone, and there will be other growth opportunities along the way.
