As I have visited most of the story sites on the web,I find that my mind is in a constant state of flux as I have logged and downloaded several gigs of stories.I edit the sex out as I am only interested in the romantic parts and some of the mental gymnastics required to solve life situations.This has helped in my own writing.What I am trying to say here is that even though these stories are fiction,some do carry a powerful message and lesson.How else can or could I ever anchor myself in the real world if I was left to my own thoughts? Some time ago,my thoughts were without form or substance.Then I began to mirror or see myself through others.To see and discover other thought processes.They have helped to preserve my sanity.I am grateful to these authors,they have saved my sorry ass..As most can see,I am pissed.I will get over that.What I will not do is lie.To be a deceptive or evasive person is soo repugnent to my nature.Thus some percieve me to be a bit acid tongued.I assure all those reading that I would rather be that then to compromise my integrety.People with sugar and honey dripping from their mouths are not to be trusted in my book.They hide their true spirits behind a mask.May our common love strengthen our souls in trust....rob

Your good intentions will not be clear to people who don't know you. They won't have any context to put your acid comments into.
You will do no good for anyone if you scare people away before they figure out your M.O.
"Brutally frank and honest" seem like positive traits, I suppose...and it's up to you how you choose to represent yourself. I personally don't mind if that's what you want.
Altho it does piss me off to be characterized as too much sweetness and light, if I'm one of those you keep referring to so disparagingly. That's the way I want to be myself.
Just don't be surprised or upset if some people avoid you because of your style.

but that is the point(pardon the pun)I would expect you and others to blunt that point.It is your good opinion that I operate on.I suppose just liking someone is important,but respect and trust seem more important dont you think? rob

Robert - you are a total ass. I want nothing to do with you, I don't want to respond to any thread you participate in, I am deleting you from my address book and ignoring any e-mail you send me.
I have honestly thought all of the above at one point or another, but I have never said any of it. Not because I want you to like me. Honestly, I don't care less if you like me. Not because I don't want to debate - I'm not afraid to share sharp words if necessary.
But simply because I care about you. I DO NOT believe the above most of the time. I think your compassion, your deep inspiration, your genuine caring for others more than outweighs your occasional sharpness. I think you contribute a lot to this board, and get us thinking about how much we have in common despite our differences.
Part of being a friend is knowing when to be honest and when to be tactful. Unless I know someone very well, and know their frame of mind, I will not be "perfectly honest" and blunt about personal issues in a negative way. That's just my style. I know yours is different and viva la difference and all that.
I hope people like me for my honestly. Yes, I say sappy sweet things, but only when my heart is in it. I very very seldom lie, but it's okay to withhold things that will hurt others, especially if they are my debatable opinions anyway.
How did you feel after you read that first paragraph? THAT is my concern. (God, I hope nobody stopped reading after the first paragraph!)

ooo - maybe you could take me for a ride?

What's that sappy sweet stuff leaking out of your bag? Here, let me lick it off your lap.
