CHILL!!!

WOW!:noway:



That is all.


On second thought.............
No it isn't.

Get a life folks. It's a dog eat dog world. If you can't hack it in life or even on these boards because your afraid of getting your toes stepped on.......don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

I've been here well over a year and this crap never stops!!! That's why they say "The strong will survive,"

and we do.:smokin:

As Dave says...."DEAL"

As I say....."Got an issue? Here's a tissue. Move on"

Classic-- :laugh:

I usually try to stay out of things like this. And actually, I'm not quite sure why I'm not. I just wanna say what I'm thinking so I can forget about it and move on. :ohwell:

Personally, I feel we should all try to find a middle ground. Being an overly sensitive person myself, I can totally understand where some members are coming from. It's one reason I don't post very often (aside from the fact that I rarely make time for the computer lately). I also do understand that this is an internet forum, and is open to the public, so there will always be a difference of opinon and everything should be taken with a grain of salt. I agree things got blown waaay out of proportion in multiple threads the past couple days. I think deleting one's account over what happened in the 'Swine Flu' thread was very over the top.

I also believe that bluntness definately has it's uses. Support doesn't mean always patting each other on the back and ignoring when people seem to be looking for excuses to slack and ease guilt. It also doesn't mean automattically agreeing with other's opinons and walking on egg shells so that no one gets hurt feelings. Sometimes "though love" is just what's required. Pushing ourselves is the only way to improve, both mentally and physically, and sometimes we need someone else to give us a little push.

BUT - I still feel that some posts I have read lately have been unnecessary. I'm not going to point out which ones, cause it really doesn't matter. Maybe they were only unnecessary in my opinon, which is part of the point. We all have different levels of what we feel is acceptable. And yes, maybe some peoples levels need to be elevated, but while none of us should feel we need to skirt around subjects to avoid causing a stir with the more sensetive members, does that mean that some understanding can't be given to them as well? It seems to me that it has all been "live with it, toughen up, deal", which is valid advice, but just as this is a public forum and so the more blunt members have a right to say what they wish, do not the other memebers have the right to enjoy themselves here as well? Can't we all just try to get along, and maybe take walk in each other's shoes?

I've seen this forum go through one exodus already, and I would really hate to see it go through another.

SoupNazi :laugh:

Thats awesome! "NO SOUP FOR YOU"!

well said :flowerforyou:

Actually I've been through three - four exodus on different boards I really don't like it at all.

And three of those exodus were caused by the board owners. Try talking to someone with a personality disorder is like hitting your head on a brick wall.

You can't talk sense into people like that.

Now see - you've done gone and offended people with personality disorders... I'm offended.:sad: :sad: :sad:

Dear Lucky,

I want you to be my new best friend because you say exactly what I'm thinking but lack the balls to say myself. It makes me laugh.

Yours truly,
Kerri :flowerforyou:

Dear Kerri,

Thanks! I am glad I can make you laugh. I am afraid sometimes that I'm gonna be sent to detention, but I figure it's worth it. Or I think of it after I post.....

Have a great Friday...

and everyone- CHILL.
Love,
Lucky
