Ground Rules
Nic:
HI!
Just chiming in...
I'd like to echo what Bunny has said. We are free to read any posts here whether they be from a registered user or an anonymous guest. Content is what we respond to, I would hope. It is what I respond to. Some issues posted here are dearer to my heart than others, and, as in real life I don't " like " everybody..and, as in real life, I am free to let them know it or not. I have experimented with both..perhaps i've compromised and decided that since i'm an idealist I do not wish to confront people here, and if I do I try to keep a civil tongue. My choice and my upbringing! You guys wouldn't believe how "polite" I was brought up to be..nonetheless it's a comfort zone in which i've grown well...comfortable..I mean otherwise we start sounding like an episode of the Polite gofers for heaven's sake!
I like the concept of respecting one another..one can still have respect for an adversary. It's ok to fight fair..but why go the anger route? I've still got lots of that..but not here, this is my support and sharing group NON? :wink:
I think we are all very intelligent ,as was said ,but above all I feel we are all in need of acceptance which allows our voices to come to life. Angry voices, disappointed voices, tired voices, abused voices..yet voices, to be heard; sometimes contested, approved or disapproved of and challenged.
Support has nothing to do with being right or wrong but everything to do with being heard.
Ground rules? Ask a question=receive an answer, Ask for feedback=receive feedback.
And of course courtesy ( the ability to put ones own needs aside to consider someone elses) and humility which in this context would be the ability to apologize when doing someone wrong, consciously or unconsciously, and the capacity to begin to deal with the truth about our true selves and situations..and forgiveness, because we all come from the same N hell hole. And generosity, not the imposed kind but rather the one that comes from the heart 'cos at whatever depth we're at, we've all got the ability to gently steer someone in perhaps the right direction.
So..I'm sounding sanctimonious huh?! :shock: Well..Yeah! hahahaha! I'm allowing myself ok?!! :lol:
A moment of bliss has come and gone..how refreshing! :D
Now I must return to my Bar-B-Q Fritos corn chips whilst rummaging through my "stuff" for a Prevacid, 'cos Bar-B-Q anything ultimately leads to heartburn. *BURP*..shoot :shock: ...sorry.. :oops:
Sincerely and authentically,
Love to all.
Nic :D

Hi Nic:
And while were at it, I'm sorry Nic.
I'm sorry that I may have hurt your feelings back there and that I did not thank you for your respectful, kind words.
I think you are very insightful and honest and I admire you quite a bit.
I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me. I hope we won't always be--adversaries.

Tempers can flare and people can get angry; not a lot we can do about that. But anyone who can't let an argument go after a day or two will have his entire thread moved to the Nursery.

This is from another board, but semes like a way to handle some threads that get carried away or too blazen and may run off posters just wanting to stick to a topic.

Me too. I've given up on ever discussing my topic and I have no resentments about that. I'll have to figger it out some other way.
Let's move on.
Bunny, do I need to appologize to you too? I think I did but maybe not properly?
Aw well, you seem so level headed that I doubt you are much of a grudge holder.
But just in case, I repeat my appology that I didn't respond to enough positive stufff. Me, the person who professes to be basically positive.
Sorry Bunny.
Have a great week end.
