I suspect it all stems from the troubled times at present, but I have never seen so many misunderstandings in one place in sucha short time. We used to have five guinea pigs. They walked towards eachother, bumped into eachother, misunderstood and ran in all directions at once.

Just at present this board reminds me of our guinea pigs.

So, a small thought to avoid misunderstandings:

Please, wenyou think or are certain sure that someone has taken a shot at you or at someone else, remember my guinea pigs. Nibble some celery (they liked celery) and think for a while. Then why not decide instead of taking a shot back at them, to have some more celery.

Please rememebr that the onlything that really upsets me is a fight. Especially one for the wrong reasons.

Wont happen no more.......... Just thought I was entitled to repsond to something uncalled for. Oh well.. have it your way.. I spose being a kid sorta invalidates your opinion somewhat. I didnt think it was wrong to respond but, I spose that I was wrong there too.. I added an appology and now done.

Ashley, mebbe you need a lil celery also? Timmy didn't mean to invalidate your opinions! He was just speaking in general you know...

Ashley Dawson! Of course your opinion is valid. I guess one must just recognise that all of us here have our individual issues that cause us to act as we do, sometimes. A few of us, you included, are able to reveal ours to an extent.

This is NOT a place where age or "kid-ness" has ever mattered, nor will it ever.

What defines this place? Is it Timmy? Is it the stories hosted on the website? I don't think so, this message board is about the people, the contributions they can make. Sure Timmy sets the guidelines, but if everytime someone disagrees with you or doesn't like an idea of yours you threaten to run away, how is that really helping this place? I know I'm just as guilty, if not more so, as everyone else of speaking in a rash manner and throwing idle threats. I know with me I didn't want to leave, I just used my threats as a means of having my feelings validated and getting my points across. I realise now that such threats hurt Timmy more than anyone else, because he extends his unconditional love to all of us, who need it. For us to then go and spit in his face because of something someone has said to us, it really isn't fair. So please let's all try from now on not to take offense just because someone doesn't agree. Differences in opinion are a good thing, just so long as you maintain the right attitude.

I love you all, and hope no-one leaves,
The ever longwinded one,

Fluent expression and correct interpretation are two skills that can take a lifetime to master. Good luck, cobber Wink (I love colloquial Aussie Smile) Also, I wasn't meaning to direct what I was saying directly entirely at you, so don't take it personally, it was an attempt at general advice, based on my experiences that I decided to relate inspired by the incident with you. I probably misinterpreted what you said a bit wrong too, and expressed myself a bit poorly as well. We've all got a lot of growing to do, eh?
