Who controls the dolling out of help points here????
A fellow human being has had issues here..... Who here hasn't????
A fellow human being has crossed some people.... Who here hasn't????
A fellow human being is in pain and wants help.... Who here hasn't????
Does all the compassion go out to only the people that make the cute, I had a pissy day posts? Is it reserved for only the teenagers?
When a person says he is willing to accept the help we so redily exclaim so loudly to be willing to lend to fellow friends in need where is it????
Why do some feel the need to continue to dredge up old hurts? Is it to bolster their ego's?
Anger can be an all consuming force. It is better to just let it go. Any person willing to at least try to become a better person is worthy of some degree of suport, are they not?
Yes, failure might occur, nothing is for certain! Yes, a risk of being hurt is there, there always is! But if we as a group of so called caring individuals turn our collective backs on a person in need when they are willing to give it their best shot; if we do this, then who is in the wrong?
I am not trying to point fingers anywhere or at anyone.
I am asking each and every one of you out there to at least try....
Please....
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...

i haven't *not* been helping people. i don't know if this is directed at me or not? so i'm answering just in case i'm one of the targets.
when help posts come up, and i'm unsure of what to say, i don't post right away. then, when they look like they're starting to get volatile, i stay away from it. some posts below that had to do with bad-mouthing/hurting someone on a board i don't even know exists, and have never seen, anything i'd say would be irrelevant and lame. so it's not that i'm ignoring or not wanting to help, but it's not anything i know about. i try to help where i know what i'm saying isn't just What Is Supposed To Be Said.
so yeah. sorry. :-/
my void does not want.

We do genuinely reflect the true ideals of communism in our intent here
"To each according to (his) needs, from each according to (his) ability".
Sometimes personalities get in the way. Sometimes wrists have to be slapped. But, when a person is welcome they are welcome. Period. When in pain they are in pain. And help is, or should be, available in full measure.
It is hard to forget history. Yet we should attempt it lest our actions trigger history to repeat itself as a self fulfilling prophecy created artificially by our actions.
Now, let no-one preach, let no-one take blame, nor ask if they are to blame. Let us simply live in peace and provide what is needed.
I want to remind you that this is an autocracy, not a democracy, yet I run it on highly democratic lines.

Marc, I am not sure what you are referring to, and maybe that is because I am fairly new here.
I understand that Timmy is asking to let past things lie, that have been dealt with already... yet I, for one, who is fairly new at all this, am asking to explain this a little more in depth so I understand what you are talking about. If it is too important or too touchy to talk about in this forum, please email me so I understand what you are saying. (Wranglin1@aol.com).
I only want to be a help where ever I am at. Please help me do so.
Peace and Warmth...

Bam,,,,Rob in the near past made a lot of very foolish mistakes and said a lot of nasty things to some people..I am sorry for doing that.Marc is a good friend and has defended me against all odds..The ironic thing is that him and I used to fight like cats and dogs...Friendship is a very powerful force and we have seen that force at work this day..now begins the healing process..These are uncharted waters,because we deal in personalities and strong emotions coupled with tight loyalties..Absolutely nothing but an abiding respect for the purpose of this forum and a respect for each other will set things right and that will take a little time.....rob;-)

This is a bit hard to explain....
I don't expect us to garner a force and reconstruct the Great Pyramid or send a rocket to the moon.
I am not expecting great discussion such as what makes great social change.
All I am asking is for a nice word here and there to reinforce a positive step forward. And to ignore the stumbles.
For God's sake, is it so hard to show a tiny shread of compassion to someone that is really trying?
Do I have to beg for some responce?
Please help.....

I do sometimes wonder what the fighting is about... and other times I enjoy the frienship and fellowship here.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess I will just watch and see what happens... and maybe help the healing process if I can...
Hugs, Peace and Smiles...
