My Vote Is - CG Should Leave .

[Anonymous]

It's easy to see if you are not the person who feels the comments were directed toward them.

Only the very person who feels the comments were directed toward them would be super sensitive enough to take it personally and reply accordingly <hint-hint ;->

If you mean you thought that CG replied anonymously immediately after Dharma's post, you're wrong.  It was me!  We ALL have buttons that get pressed by other people's words, whether or not we are personally singled out.  (Anyway dharma that poster I've just quoted clearly thought you were meaning CG!!!!!)

It just shows how you can be so SURE about something and yet so MISTAKEN because of your assumptions and presuppositions.  

Paranoia rules, doesn't it!

The guest function actually allows people who are paranoid to get even more paranoid.  It certainly seems to have screwed phoenix up, even if only briefly.  But then, even having a 'name' allows the paranoid people to get screwed up what with all that trash about CG and Portia being the same person. And thinking S is posting when she's not even online!

It's THAT kind of nonsense which is mean.  Or crazy.  Take your pick.  I tend to think they are just being plain mean.  But maybe they ARE just plain crazy.  I dunno.

See. you don't know who I am.  If I choose to use particular verbal mannerisms or particular words then you can pin me down to a particular poster or a particular country - but I could be consciously OR unconsciously copying other people just to put you off the track.

So how do you know?

You see what you create in your own mind.

So why not start creating some goodness around yourselves instead of all this paranoid shit.

It's difficult to trust.  It's EASY to be mean.

Please, in the name of all that's healthy, please STOP all this circular bickering.  It is hurting us all, one way or another.  Please Please try to STOP the circular bickering, for the sake of the greater good.  Please?????

Hiya Guests.  I'm weathering the storm.   in sunglasses ha ha

That 'Fear' thread is really good. Have you seen it? It's ACE.

And some named members are doing some brilliant stuff 'out there'. Like Ellie and OnlyMe. It makes me smile, it makes me happy to see 'good' in action. But of course I can only see the 'good' for seeing the 'bad'. If we were all perfect, we wouldn't know what perfect was would we?

Got lots of thoughts about all this stuff here but ya know, I gotta sort out doh-mess-tick stuff. Meant to talk to Dharma and BT coz you sparked some thoughts (thanks) but not for now. Must go. Take care guests, go see the Fear thread. It's simple and healthy. Not that this isn't healthy (it is), but this thread is DEEP. Deep water sign up maybe. Bring snorkel. Yeah.   P

The name you've chosen and what you're doing on this board is an oxymoron.

That is putting it mildly.

Wow...this place is something else.  You get flamed even if you are trying to be nice.    

It seems not everyone is on the same page.  Perhaps some clarification is needed, on what is or is not true.  Then perhaps you peeps can lay the issue to rest.

If you want to create some goodness instead of the paranoia, why are you attempting to put people off the track? Just wondering. I really would like an answer, I'm not trying to incite any indignation. If I get slammed, I won't take it personally.

off what track?

[Anonymous]

Actually, why did you split my post in two and only refer to one half?  The whole post hangs together - they aren't separate points. Perhaps your question arises because you didn't understand the meaning of the post as a whole.

[mighty mouse]

I asked the question because I indeed did not understand. Help me understand. And I highlighted the portion that had me stumped. If you don't care to answer, I'm okay with that. If you were being sarcastic or ironic maybe I didn't take the point correctly and maybe I should be embarassed  

Ah well.

[mighty mouse]

Okay, I read that again. It makes more sense now.

However, I will be self deprecating and say I am not sophisticated enough to follow all this and will say bye bye to all the anonymous stuff and what Lizbeth calls word salad LOL!!!!!!!!!!

It certainly seems to have screwed phoenix up, even if only briefly.

I must be getting giddy. I am laughing at this - not because I am offended.  I can laugh at myself over this- I understand why this person might feel this way.

When I was taking out my old posts, I had an unsettling feeling at re-reading some them. I didn't recognize some of  them. It was as if I was reading someone elses posts.

Alternately, reading something annonymous in one of these threads - I have no idea which one- I was startled at how much it sounded like me.

Trying to figure out who is who is - well- a shot in the dark. Phoenix

Jumping jehosephat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can you NF types be any more dramatic? Please check yourself before you ooze any more of that pervasive bile.....please!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes a pile of dung is just a pile of dung. Sometimes the bogeyman just isn't there.

Spend your time singing Hippie songs and holding hands for goodness sakes........com'n......I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, yaaaaaaaaaa..........

Now I need a coca cola, blast it.

And for goodness sake, have some humor about this post. You all recognize yourselves. Go love the stuffing off of your favorite plush toy.

I gotta crown you your props for being more than right!      But at this point its all the same in the end sunshine. It's universal anger, sensitivity, defense, button pushed hearts, chipped shoulders--

It really doesn't make much of dang difference. Same shi--er--- black jelly beans-different day--

I wish I could be more positive about it.  Ain't it truly so---

Maybe a good thing is that it shows how we are all alike. We all hurt, have pre-existing inner wounds, all want to be heard, understood and treated with respect.  

We all here are really much more alike than different!!!!

I wish that thought would grow here like plenty sunned and watered weeds--or better yet, more like the hair on my brother's back! {you should see it   }

Okay, still needs lightening up around here. Let's try again:

What did the skinny cat say to the fat cat?

Meow.....Dude, I just lost a ton of weight on the Catkins diet.
