Yea you should fit in well LOL.
So now you are telling me what I meant by my comment? Seriously you just did that. You can say what you believe, which you are entitled to but sorry you are simply not entitled to be right. When the person who MAKES the comment tells you the spirit in which it was meant, well perhaps that is a good gauge to use don't you think? You "feel" demeaned and that is on you. That is your choice. It was said EXACTLY how I wrote, and you STILL CHOOSE to feel that way. That is all on you. It is your choice. You lashed out AS AN INSULT. No other way to take that is there? You advocate "self awareness". I suggest some. NOBODY is trying to take away what you believe. I would prefer you based what you believe on FACTS. You choose to base it on anger. Hey that is on you. You have facts readily available. That is my only responsibility.

More painting. I directed the word tasteless in regards to one thread. I clarified that.
Its fortunate that you aren't correct about the reaction or response. Fortunately. I have had several people back me up privately and publicly. Luckily I know now that not everyone here finds expressing questions, and concerns offensive. I know now that there are many who view things differently. That gives me the strength and courage to tell you how I feel. I am incredibly grateful for those individuals. |

You are doing exactly what you accuse me of. You are saying that my comments were an insult, despite my CLEAR clarification of them. I don't expect you to immediately accept my clarification, yet clearly, you expect me to take your clarification as the ultimate truth. I think that is how you see your comment, and I respect that. I don't see your comment that way. I simply didn't accept your explanation.
I am not basing anything on anger. I am, and haven't been angry whatsoever. I have been absolutely civil. I will not bow down to you here. I will not give up what I value. I respect you. I don't want a fight. I don't want divisions between us. I am just not willing to give up my values. Can you help me here, I am really trying to find some common ground. |

Bow down?
Yea your perceptions are way skewed if you think anything like that is happening.

Its also incredibly convenient that you only address the issues you feel will garner you the outcome you want.

I was not trying to burst in and tell people what to do. I really wasn't. I hope you understand where my intentions lie. I understand where your coming from with some of your comments, but you seem to make no effort to find a real common ground.

What were you trying to gain from this conversation when you came in? What are you looking to get from the conversation now? Even though I am unwilling to surrender my values, I am aiming for resolution and understanding.

You seem to ignore any attempt I make at finding a common ground or coming to a resolution.

Young lady, you've got a lot of living ahead of you. I encourage you to spend your time more wisely than you are in here, and continue on your path to adulthood, learning from those who have traveled before you. You really have walked into the Café as Danny mentioned above. It's real and you fail to accept that. When you do accept that, you'll have graduated from baby steps to giant steps.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

I'm male, first off. I accept the reality of this forum. I agree with, you, however, that my time isn't well spent in this specific thread. You live and you learn, I guess.

The problem is you frame things as epic struggles for whatever reason. Surrender your values? There is no common ground to be had with you having Beowulf struggles and all I am saying is perhaps getting to know people would have been a better track.
NoBody says bow down or any mythic struggle you want to apply. So until you start to just discuss there is really no point. You keep asking but as long as you see things through this prism of some ridiculous struggle it will never be resolved. Because there isn't one. So common ground might be to see it for what it really is.

I am not framing anything as an epic struggle. Of course this isn't some gargantuan, heaping, crazy conflict. I know that, sir. You seem to see common ground as me agreeing with your perceptions. That is NOT common ground.

Can we just come to a resolution? I am really not interested in duking this out with you.

If you want to continue this discussion, let's please do that privately via PM.

There's no need to continue this publicly, in my opinion.

Greetings Anand,
For what it is worth, I admire your philosophy and expectations for someone your age. Furthermore, IMHO, you are absolutely correct. The world needs more self awareness and more importantly self control than is exhibited in everything we do, not just in this forum. Many here could use a dose of humility and fail to recognize everything they say is their opinion, which neither makes it right or wrong but exclusive to them and possibly some others. Stand by your guns for what you believe but do remember that it is your humble opinion. John

Anand-
It seems that you understood the simple observation I made better than many of the old farts in here. |
