A short time ago a friend here made a comment to me, one which hurt me a little, or maybe it hurt a bit more than I knew at the time. It hurt me not the way you might think. My friend made a simple characterization about me, my posts, and my ... well I will use beliefs for lack of a better word coming to mind. My passions about politics, economics, social strife, racism, world hunger, poverty, class warfare (and I don't mean that the way the rich talk about it), homelessness, and general bigotry must make it seem to many that you feel exactly the way he said. This has disturbed me a great deal lately. I know it is not his fault and he did not intend to hurt me at all.
But part of me feel as if I have been prejudged in some ways because of it. It hurts because of the way it came across to me.
I have always tried to express the real me here. And now I find that conclusions still exist even here. I wish you all knew me better.
Eventually I will get over it. But if I seem a little distant in the near future, don't take it as a slight against any of you. I am just trying to deal with this myself.
I will try to be better,
Kevin

You are a really terrific you. I think some people don't quite get the enthusiasm that you use when you feel strongly about things. Just be you, Kevvy. (if it ain't broke, don't fix it)

Conclusions... Of course conclusions exist here, This is a verbal medium and as such conclusive bantering back and forth of ideas ranging from simple to highly archaic bounce back and forth from one computer screen to another.
Conclusions are not only inevetable but have to be expected.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Kevin, although we don't know each other very well yet... I do hope I haven't said anything that rubbed you wrongly...
For one, I do respect you taking time to get your bearings and heart straight, but maybe you could approach that person in a private email????
I guess we all have our own beliefs and feelings that are strong to us... and as friends, we should respect each other...
You are the best Kevin you can be... and I respect you for that.
Hugs and Smiles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with smith and the others here who said to just continue being you...don't edit your enthusiasm for life, that's part of what makes us like you!
Hang in there, and do what you need for now, but please don't ever change!

And in fact, you shouldn't. So you're dedicated to what you believe in, and when a person is dedicated to the good cause like you, that is a beautiful thing to behold... Keep it up, my friend.
Really nice, warm cuddly {{{hugs}}} for you, Kevin.
