Welcome to Romper Room!

Wonder how long it's going to be before Rodney King posts ...

[Portia]

Hi Discounted Girl. Just saw your post. Don’t understand your post though! Is it a joke that’s lost on these shores (or maybe just my brain)? Should I get it or not? Confused, P

[Portia]

...are you saying I'm like the LAPD beating Phoenix up? Or is it some reference to black and white? Or are you saying my posts are like a victim?.....don't understand, as you can probably tell...

[Discounted Girl]

no, I was just joking Portia, don't be gobsmacked    In America (well at least in Texas) sometimes people say what Rodney King said during the riots that ensued following the LAPD investigations and trial/verdict fiasco -- he said "Can't we all just get along?" I was being a smart alec -- I do that sometimes -- and I am hanging around here still waiting on the guest from way up above to come back and 'splain.

[Portia]

Hey thanks for explaining DG!    My paranoia just took a back seat. Thank you.
"Can't we all just get along?" love it. Jack Nicholson says it in 'Mars attack' just before the Martian chap slays him. Great film, very funny.

Anyway, Phoenix, I feel that's a bit of a belter post from me over the page. I dunno. Honesty and all that. I really don't want you to be hurt/upset/angry UNLESS it's the kind of stuff that does us good. Stuff that's had me hurt/upset/angry has done me a pile of good over these months. I said I'd shut up ....so I will here. P

Hi DG (and everyone):

 I just won't forget how you posted, DG:

"Everybody loves Somebody sometime...." awhile back.   It made me giggle and it seemed one of the first kind things anyone said to me.  Did I read that right?  I really think I did!!

And I remember posting good things to you too, as a guest, because you seemed to feel soooo unheard but I could hear so much from your words.  Well I hear you again, DG, and I don't discount what you say.  You make so many useful, valid points.
And I love your sence of humour girl after my own heart!!

I'm off to work but I'll look back here later.  I hope I have not offended you DG because I sure don't mean to.  Maybe my use of "ya'll" elsewhere offends you?  I have been wondering about it.  I truly love that expression and wish it was Canadian!!  It's sooo warm and friendly!  Reminds me of every bit of Southern Hospitality I've experienced in the States and there was so much of that, in those places I've visited.  I mean absolutely no offense, truly.  We could learn a lot up here from that one expression, if we bothered to count it.  I count it and use it a lot.  I embrace the goodness in it, DG.     I mean no harm or offence with it and I just wanted to make my intentions clear (I think I used it when I was angry too, one time, but please, discount that time. Emotions cause me to say things the wrong way sometimes, especially negative feelings).

By the way, Portia, it was a good, kind thing of you to do-- to welcome outcasts there in ramble, and I don't know who they all are but it only makes me like and admire you more.  You stick your kneck out to help sometimes, and that takes guts!
Thankyou again, for that. (((((P))))).  Please don't "shut up".  And you too (((((CG)))))--Thanks for that invite and your good words.

(((((((((((Phoenix))))))))), I hope you are feeling more like talking too.
I hold no grudge against you and I hope you will believe me.  DG and P,  I love it too!!  "Can't we all just get along?" Can't we??

Sorry Somebody.....I don't feel kindly towards a woman who is still married to and living with the man who abused her daughter and pushing an agenda. Call me quirky. No matter what you do or say here, you will always be a disruptive force on this board and I think you know that. Faux kindness isn't working. I would have considered you kind if you had left when promised, when it was clear your agenda wasn't appreciated. That would have shown some real character. Apologising and getting lost would have been the real kindness. Actions and not faux kind words.

You just can't make people forget no matter what name you post under.

Hi Liv:

What do you think then?  Do you think you know what I should do in my situation?   I don't know you.  I know I have not seen your name posted on this board before, except to LABEL me, as having an agenda, and to promote YOUR opinion, which seems to indicate that you dooo indeed know exactly what I should do and should not do in my life.  You've called out MY STUFF and your opinion of Me.  Will you be around to advise me in all of my other difficulties then, since you are sooooo sure about this??  Because I want to get along with you and I don't want to hurt your feelings but saying you don't FEEL kindly toward me is not MY stuff, it's yours.  I feel kindly toward you Liv, even now.

And I do need help with other things but I bet you won't offer anything in those departments because for you.....it seems.....I am nothing but my marital situation.  Guess what?  You've made some real serious incorrect assumptions about my situation and I do not feel like straightening that out for you because I am not comfortable now talking about it here.
That's ok, isn't it?

Tell me this...please...if you don't feel kindly, then what exactly is it you feel???  Is that what you think needs to be voiced--continuously, whenever I post to any person here--your feelings about me (or other's with similar feelings)?  Did my post to Meadow have anything, whatsoever to do with you??

YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT ME??  I like you Liv.  I don't know you and I already like you because guess why?  Because you seem honest and that's a good thing.

But--being honest about ourselves or to help others....is good.
Being honest to cause hurt, to insult, to abuse...is not good Liv.

Not good at all.  I'm sorry to say this.  No harm intended.  You can easily ignor me or not bother to read my posts or what ---ever.  But to stand in and scream out YOUR  feelings about MY stuff  is just not nice and I think you may not realize how much chaos that causes.  Or maybe you do realize it and enjoy that idea??  How do I know??

It's not up to you to obliterate people from public bulletin boards, is it Liv?  Are you in charge here or what?
Anyone who doesn't like me--that's ok.  Don't like my stuff--that's ok too.  Scream it out in an abusive manner--that's not ok and I just won't believe you think it is.  I really do believe you are all good people and the abuse you have endured is your enemy--not me.  I've endured too and I don't need more.  So why is it ok for you to abuse me?

I learned something when I was a little girl that just won't leave my head.  It rings and it rings and rings true, no matter what injustice I see in the world.

"Two wrongs do not make a right".

You have every right to your feelings Liv but you do not have the right to voice them in such a way as to cause harm to me, to disrupt the kind words I offer to anyone, no matter what you agree or disagree with about my life or how you feel about me.  Do you understand that?

Do I have the right to scream out whatever nasty feelings I have about anyone, after they post something totally unrelated to me, and point out what I don't like about their lives or their stuff or my inaccurate assessment of it or my feelings about them?????????????  Imagine if I had done THAT even once here????

Have I gone bazooka or what?  I don't think so.
Please take heart Liv.  You have not stood in my shoes.
Be thankful for that.

You don't have to try to, if you don't want to either.  

I am not a disruptive force, Liv.  Abusing is disruptive.  Labelling is abusive.  I have no "AGENDA" and I don't know who first said it but it's not true.  It's Verbal abuse.  Another wrong that will in absolutely no possible way--right whatever it is that you have decided is wrong with me or my life, nor will that wrong behaviour HELP anyone or improve anything.

I am free to come and leave here as I please as are you Liv.  It's a free world, especially this cyber world.  For now.
I would like it very much if you would stay and try your hardest to hear that what I am saying to you is not meant to hurt you but to help you see that your way or the high way is the wrong way.  It's not up to you what I do in my life, is it?  And you don't have to like it but you do not have the right to decide whether it is right or wrong for me or for my family.  That's up to me, isn't it?

Your words and actions are seeming to say that you think it's your stuff.   I'm sorry Liv.  You are in charge of you, not me.

Sorry Somebody.....I don't feel kindly towards a woman who is still married to and living with the man who abused her daughter and pushing an agenda.

I wonder why any female would stay with a pedophile husband, especially one that has abused her very own daughter.  Somebody-Solace even stated in an earlier post that she believed her daughter.  What is this saying to a traumatized daughter when the mother won't even throw the sorry bastard out?  

The excuse of "it was a one time mistake, he has changed", is a load of crap.   Pedophiles never, ever lose their desire for children, no matter how much anyone would like to believe that.  They carry those obscene desires until they die.   They are predators.   Protect your children.

errr...hi everyone....P posting at an unusual hour for me (8.45pm BST)...just popped in to say, ah, err..hey this is Phoenix's thread you know? Is it going to go the way of other threads and turn into a 'focus on S' thread? Just thoughts. It's a free board.

[kat]

What good is this thread doing?

What a stupid idiotic waste of time this is.  Time to sign off for a couple of weeks until those responding "tit for tat" get done expressing themselves.

I've been in bed with the flu since yesterday evening. I will respond to some of these posts later. Phoenix

Disruptive, insidious behaviour is not welcome here, because No Good Can Come From It.
"s" maybe you need to find another group which welcomes people with your pedophile/molester background.  They might be able to interact with you in the way you are seeking.  The majority of us here are on a different path.

We all have anger, but we need to be mature enough to know when to cool our jets and behave like responsible adults.  We do not need to have our wounds scratched open here.

Sorry again S, I don't read your long soliloquys...not a good investment of time. yawn.

But I'm for giving Phoenix back the thread. Good point.

[Solace]

I'm sorry too Liv.  I'm NOT the only person angry here.
That's a given.

Do as you choose.
Not my stuff.
