I was just reading through some posts, and there replies. I want to post a reply to some, but thinking about it, just makes me leary of saying anything. I don't know how old some are, or even how young some may be. I read a post tonight that really bothers me, but I don't know how to say what I want to say, or if it would even matter. It'd prolly just start another fued, so I'll stay quiet on the matter.

what you have witnessed were some strong-minded people have a misunderstanding,a little blood-letting and then engage in making peace with a new and better understanding.that is what the world is about.Sometimes the strongest friendships are forged by the heat of misunderstanding.Each stood their ground,a lot of give and take,but things got worked out,because friendship is what makes this board work.rob

... and you alone know why.
Brian
You should never be afraid to respond to anyone here, regardless of the subject matter, and certainly not have concerns that you will either fuel a new controversy, or add to any existing one; nor, should you ever be uncertain in your desire to begin a new topic.
This is "A Place of Safety"; an environment that has always welcomed diversity in people, thought, lifestyle, and their endeavour.
You fit right in here, bud. In all of those categories.
Speaking for myself, as I note you have now for you, and "M" has for him, I would like to add that of late my particption here has only been that of peace-maker, a role of my own choosing, and one that fits with my desire to take less than an active role in the day-to-day goings-on, here on the Board. With smooth sailing, and little or no controversy, you will see nothing me; threaten a Member, or the Board itself, and I will again make an appearance; otherwise not.
In general I should add, that in practice I have recently instituted a "personal" policy respecting my conduct here, and elsewhere, one where I will never again ever knowingly respond, either through messages here at the Board, or other media whether IM Service, e-Mail, or whatever, to anyone of an age less than age-21; and preferably not less than age-30.
This policy, in addition to my having "blocked", to all but a very select few, all e-Mail and IM Service, at all my e-Mail addresses and under all my known User I.D.'s and Screen-names", has been done to protect me from others' malicious conduct, and further ensure my privacy.
Timmy was made aware of my actions in this regard some time ago, and the rationale behind my having taken these steps.
My life is now much more settled. I have found a peace I had not previously thought possible. I will never again live as I had before, nor ever again behave in any manner as I have been previously known to have done.
I, too, accept that what works for me, may not necessary be a prescription for everyone else's ills either.

I can excuse a lot of the members here, but some of them just don't get it. Seems right now only one person does, and he doesn't visit the MB.

I might just as well be as blunt about it with you, as I would be with anyone else.
I don't give a rat's ass anymore about what anyone here has to say; just that there be no fighting; not anymore.
My continued participation here is now academic anyway; by days' end I will no longer be on-line; and as a consequence not able to come back and chastize anyone, either on- or off-Board for their conduct. I'm simply biding my time, awaiting Bell Canada's complying with my instructions of yesterday morning to disconnect me from the net, and the cyber-World.

The aspect of friendships here seems to have disappeared. One thing I watched for all day yesturday never happened. Like I said, quite a few have no clue what I'm talking about. I try to start chats in a friendly way, at times not expecting it back, but at times I'd like to get a little something. I know I've been an A** at times, I'm sorry.
For those that know, I was feeling pretty good yesturday, but not today.

I have not and do not intend to be part of any feud here, real or imagined. I have almost no knowledge of the conflict you speak about. But I do have a couple thoughts for those who still harbor ill feelings.
It takes a big man (on the inside silly) to extend a hand of friendship and truce.
Any real gesture should come from the heart and not expect anything in return.
Timmy may go through great pains to "delete" the threads you speak of, but that does not erase the words from memory. Taking them away is not a solution, not giving the past words weight in the future and "letting it go" will do more than any effort Timmy could ever do.
We cannot erase the past but we can choose to learn from it and be better in the future. Take something positive from this. That is your personal choice.
Brian, to share what you feel will allow those that care to be sensitive too those feelings. It is your choice to share or not. But I think many of us here can learn from your thoughts and feeling. Your feelings are important, just as you are important.
Remember, friendship sometimes takes work and sacrifice. Make the effort, be friends. You will be surprised what you get back in return.
Healing Hugs to all of you.
Kevin

Yes it is true that friendships are being tested here but that is part of the process of life--We test each other.For the most part,these friendships are still intact.Some even have been cemented more firmly.Judging by the e-mails I have been recieving,ALL have been friendly.Put finger to keyboard instead of tears.Those fingers can build bridges!!!!!!rob
