Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

Sticking nose in...

I think Mud's last sentence was compassionate, Boat...
maybe you tripped over a bit of pomposity in the tone earlier.

He doesn't mean that. It's like a "harrumph."

Mud is judgmental but when push comes to shove, he
chooses kind.

Actually I really don't appreciate Mud's perspective Just like I stated clear and simple above. Not sure why you are involved Hops.

Bone's thread is now being hi-jacked apparently.

I've got to get ready for work, going to log off this is stupid Narcissistic bull shit.

.....mud I find your comments to sound like you are trying to instigate conflict.

You can express the insulting, and counter-factual opinion that all romantic relationships are "open" and involve cheating and if I point out your opinion is not accurate then I'm instigating, but you're not? The way to avoid "narcissistic bullshit" is to let something simply not true lie there unanswered?

 I'm not even being "judgmental" as Hops put it; I'm just telling you that what you said isn't so. Not sure why my pointing out the fact there are many people who do not cheat should set you off, but that's your prerogative. Doesn't mean I'm going to shut up when told to do so though, especially on a Voicelessness board..

I had NO idea that a flame war erupted while I was off-line and enjoying a free movie in the community.  (The local theatre was showing "It's A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.  Don't see many movies like that much anymore.)

Every person has a right to have their voice heard ESPECIALLY on the Voicelessness Board!  I understand how this time of year can put people in a BAD mood.  I'm struggling with that as I write.  From my perspective, people can agree to disagree without name-calling and hurling insults.  I grew up with that abusive crap and it was NEVER fun!  It's one thing to express opinions using "I-messages".  Once the message starts out with "You...", and/or name-calling starts, then the defensive walls go up and the flame war begins. 

Discussing differences of opinions on my thread is no problem.  Flame Wars, name-calling, and insults...or worse....will get you banned off of my thread.  I'll borrow something I learned from writer David Gerrold....don't do something online that you wouldn't do, in person, in MY living room.  Got it?!?

I'm sorry, Boat. You're right.
Not my place.

Thanks for the correction, Bones...deserved and heard.

Didn't intend flaming, or even singeing for that matter, anyone and still don't see that I did.
I'll drop it at this point since there's nothing else to say, except;
If you like It's a Wonderful Life you'd probably like It Happened on 5th Avenue too. A not well known, little holiday gem.

Thanks, Mud and Hops.  What about you, Bean?  Is this settled?
