Offensive Signature Line

[reesern1963]

Yep, and then they have the audacity to say that they never complained here about me stalking them when in point of absolute fact it was the farthest thing in the world from reality. Now supposedly the person has forgotten their false accusation against me, referring to me as "stalking them." Yea, OK.
And of course they never put in their CHRONIC little impertinent, completely irrelevant DIGS.

No it's only the four amigos, oops, minus FrankR now, since I guess she has the sense to avoid wasting her time on boards where imbalance in allowed to stand more times that it should. So, gee, I guess it is only the three amigos huh.

I'm not dealing with this utter CRAP anymore reese, p'd, whomever. And reese, I don't care about some lunatic assumptions by you about you coming to your senses. (????) I'm smart enough to know that only God has the most power to influence people's minds and hearts, and even then he will only go so far--just like a parent can only go so far with his or her children, then they must make their own mistakes and live with the consequences.

I point out what I point out and try to base it on substance. Otherwise, I don't waste more than the time it takes for me to type back to you concerned about it. Uhhhh, really. I see it as more of a general problem fo balancing fairness rather than singling folks out and saying it's mostly them, blah, blah, blah.

Wow, you must really believe that people don't have multiple other things to do or be involved with in life. Yes, you must assume people just sit in "ready, set, type-mode" waiting for the next reply on this MB. Really? Are you kidding me?

BTW reese, if my typos bother you b/c I have a lot to say, please just go ahead and be my editor. I usually type for speed not accuracy. Right or wrong, that's my time at this MB. I'll come back later in between things and maybe edit or not. But feel free to present my errors, and I will be more than happy to correct them should I decide I have the time to do so. Otherwise don't bother writing about it, cause it's only another way in which you try to put someone down or THINK you are putting someone in their "PLACE." Get off of it already.

But some folks had better get some memory back before they deny their CLEAR projection and utter hypocrisy as they attack people for idiotic things. You'd better believe those fingers that you are regularly pointing at some of us here are indeed pointing back at you. Coming to your senses on that one? Probably not. It takes something I feel a person must posses in order to be able to admit their fair share in all this stupid back and forth.


Just stick to the freaking discussion points, otherwise please don't address others just for you own facination with all this stupid bickering. I could care less about bickering with you,

which is why I'll again let you have the last word.

As I said in a previous post, your POV is irrelevant. Address me if you wish, but don't expect a reply. FWIW, I don't sit at the ready. Your errors are just so glaring. Actually, I had a lovely evening out with a friend.

And do not tell me with whom I can discuss. That is way outside your purview. YOU do not tell ME with whom I can post. GOT IT? I told you that before. Say it again and I'll take it as a threat.

[Edson!]

When your soul aim is stir up a bucket of crap and not to engage in honest discussion, you'd better believe I will tell you. What is glaring to numerous folks here is your propensity to dig and pick at certain posters just to cause trouble--or to whine and complain and stamp your feet when you don't get your way--especially if it is not suited to your particular political stance.

So yes, again, when your very aim IS to stir up trouble, you had better believe I will tell you. Take it to the bank. Stick to discourse and knock off the BS. The level of childishness you are displaying is embarrassing. Are you old enough to meet the TOS for posting here? If so, then act like it, and just stop this elementary school BS already.

Oh and I just noticed that you wrote this:

"And do not tell me with whom I can discuss. That is way outside your purview. YOU do not tell ME with whom I can post. GOT IT? I told you that before. Say it again and I'll take it as a threat."

Thank you so very much for PROVING my point to all once again. It's so just like you to run to the good people here and cry a ridiculous lie, kind of like this one: "edson is stalking me." And so now b/c you are told to stop instigating junk with people and just have discussions. . . OH, now you will run and claim threats???? Sure that you don't want to add "terroristic threats to the lie?" Pulease.

This kind of thing makes this a ridiculous atmosphere. So you're "telling" once again. Wow, you must have SO MUCH POWER HERE. Hmmmm, that's interesting to note. You're "telling" that someone is threatening you (What is that a step up from the supposed stalking?) just b/c they are saying knock off the unnecessary garbage and instigating and picking and childishness. OK. That's wonderful.

Tell away. How dare you THREATEN another member here with reporting a false claim of threats against you. (I noticed you tried to intimidate noodle too-hmmm. . ."Don't tell me what or who noodle. . ." or some such ridiculousness.) But this nothing new for you. It's kind of sick. Just stop it. Seriously. No way such behaviors should be reinforced or rewarded in any way. It sets a very bad precedent, and people will not believe this is an adult, professional site. It totally undermines credibility and legitimacy here.

This is supposed to be an adult, professional site.

Reese this is not your board on which to play these bizarre games where you can instigate and talk smack, but then you can't take someone else standing up to you, and then you have the audacity to run to moderators or whoever here making BOGUS claims. OMG, talk about embarrassing, unprofessional, out and out falsehood, and instigating behavior.


You are the clear bully, and this IS ONE of the (sneaky) WAYS in which you bully--"I'm telling. . ." E gads. . .
Thank God for the wise and discerning teachers in elementary school back in the day, who would not reinforce or tolerate such behaviors. You see they keenly saw what it was all about, and that it would just cycle back to more nonsense--more false threats, more attempts of the intimidating (a form of bullying) of "telling on you" threats or practices. I certainly never tolerated this imbalanced nonsense from my children, and I never will. If something has to be told, it had better be good, and they had better be prepared to enter into court, b/c both sides will be heard completely. See I never favor my kids, and I am not the kind of parent that believes my kids can do no wrong. That's fool-hearty. More than two sides to every story.

But we are supposed to be adults here. Yes, all grown up.

There is no need to continue on in this fashion, period. Easy as that. Please go to Staples and buy an easy button if it will help you to remember to cease from this nonsense. Does it help you or anyone for me to put it in your same terms. What was is that you said? Oh, that's right. "GOT IT?" Yes that is quite right. So don't I feel so all powerful that I wrote GOT IT? in all caps. . .lo. . . .? That sounds like bullying: "YOU do not tell ME (notice the emphasized pronouns). . .GOT IT?" And that was your twisted loud response to me for me simply stating the following: "Just stick to the freaking discussion points, otherwise please don't address others just for you own fascination with all this stupid bickering." Apparently you only read partial sentences; for you completely overlooked the dependent clause, "just for your own fascination with all this stupid bickering." That's pretty clear. NO ONE is telling you who to post to in discussions. What it clearly means is if your truest intention is to keep bickering and instigating and never having anything of substance to add to the topics at hand w/o causing more unnecessary grief, just don't address others." Here's why reese. It's far worse than solicitation adds. No one is going to fight too much with a solicitor. No one really cares, and the moderators will eliminate the solicitation. They are pretty good with that stuff. But looking for jabs and fights and attempts to get those with which you may have some political or personal underlying issues is NOT WHAT this MB is supposed to be about. Once more, it is an adult, professional MB. So if you have ought with noodle, Confed, me or anyone else, take it outside so to speak.

You original "issue" was addressed here, and it's done. Move it along and stop picking b/c NO. You can't just slap and smack and continue to jab at people and feel like it's OK, b/c you somehow feel privileged or protected here for some reason. Such a thing would not look good for this MB and those it represents. Can you see that? *sigh of utter exasperation*


Furthermore, you cannot talk smack and tell everyone else what to do and continue instigating, yet no one should(GASP) DARE tell you to stop causing trouble. Sorry. So uh what, I take it you work for Gannett, et al now? OK then you are best friends with someone from Gannet? You have some pull that allows you to play instigator and threaten others of false reports against them, all b/c they have the nerve to tell you it's immature and to stop ? If you sit in such a capacity, please just say so. When others have said such things to me, I NEVER threatened to run to moderator/s and cry "This person is threatening me." I may have argued back; but I never threaten to run to moderators with a lie and cause trouble for another member of this board or any other member of any other board of which I am also a member.


Back to you for the last word. . . .make it a good one. . .

Better yet, perhaps the people here will save you some embarrassment by pulling down this entire thread.

1. The people who complained about Confed's acronym somehow never thought to complain about the person who called Confed a dipwad. I find that hypocritical.

I think the difference is in the thickness of skin; I am pretty sure that Confed brushed off the dipwad comment and if he didn't, then I would expect him to get in touch with me and I'd address it.

What happened here what that someone complained about a signature that appeared to violate the TOS; in reviewing the signature, I agreed that it violated the TOS (not just in spirit, but directly) and so therefore I removed it.

As for the acrimony between members with different political viewpoints; I would suggest that the IGNORE USER feature is something each might want to consider. I have no problem with anyone here posting on the site, except for when emotions take over and discussions become personal. Some people need to tone it down, others need to "suck it up" a little more - we're all adults here and I shouldn't have to feel like its my place to scold one people or another over their behavior.

And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

LOL,

You are particularly amusing this morning. When you continue saying nonsense, I envision little squirrels running around in your head.

You know exactly what I was talking about. And so does she or he or whatever.

People that want to progressively destroy freedom always want to point the finger back against those of us that would die to protect it.


So, are they juggling nuts as the run about up in there?


Deporting the likes of folks like you would just push the other parts of the world closer to utter dispair. So I guess whilst God gives us the strength, we will endure your progressive departure from our republic of liberty, as you continue to cry out for a socialistic democracy.

If you listen carefully, you might hear the little squirrels in your head telling you to burn your copy of the Constitution--fight hard and do try to resist that urge.

Here's a brief for you:

Full context is a matter of importance for reasonable people, p.



Michael,

Some consistent balance would be greatly appreciated by not merely a few. It stands to benefit all.

I leave it at that for now, though I have some other reasonable perspectives on things here.

Thanks, peady. I'll continue to let her have the last word till she turns blue in the face.

[Edson!]

Ladies and others,

I think there is a very good chance that on some things we will not agree. OK. So we don't agree? So what? This in and of itself is not a bad thing.

I've said all that I will say for now that could be construed as negative. I will do my best w/ that, truly. If there is sniping, I will try to re-direct to the discussion or I will "walk away." I am not saying I will never assert my perspectives on things. But I want you to know that I will make a strong and conscious effort to be as cordial as possible and not seek to respond to anything negative or evoke anything negative.

If my perspective points and information on something somehow evokes that which was not meant to be negative, but only to address something that well may be true in itself, I will do my best to re-direct to that so that it's known that it is the issue or topic and what it is related to that may be uncomfortable and not me attempting to make others uncomfortable.

Sometimes that happens in discussions by the very nature of the topics themselves. If, for example, one of a certain party or affiliation is brought into accountabiity for something like, say an affair, or some issue of corruption, or issues with policies, I will not take it as a personal attack upon me or others of similar policy or party affiliation just because the facts themselves are not very likeable. If others bring certain facts to light, even if it may seem that I hold some of the same political-social values as the party in question, I will look to the points of the issue and not to personal offense. Before attacks come, there is often some sense of offense or personal offense. But I will look at the rational versus irrational aspects of taking it to heart personally and choose to not take it as some personal affront or an affront against others that may share in certain things. It would be truly wonderful if that were applied across the board; but that's up to each individual.


If we disagree on something, let us disagree by way of our discussion points.

I truly am not interested in any negative baiting or snipping back and forth or anything of that nature. If I feel something is posted by a member that may be unfair, I will try my best to matter of factly state why.

Everyone can be as they will, but I personally want discussion w/ more of a sense of peace. Discussion points can be strong; that is understood. It's good, though, to have discussion with a sense of peace in knowing that at least we can choose to prevent the discussion from decaying into something jabbing, sniping, or belligerent. I can only take my part of that, and therefore I speak for no one else.

As nurses, I am sure that many of us have been in the field long enough to know how precious life is and that it really can be taken away in a matter of seconds. I've seen some of that brought back to home in my life over the past week and half, and more recently with someone that is my son's age.

No one is promised tomorrow. I just want to seek more peace in my life. I will discuss topics, but I really want to keep it to the specific points and relevant substance. Otherwise it is simply wasted and negative energy for me, and I believe others as well.


My face is not blue, but my heart kind of is b/c of some first-hand insight into the frailties of life. We all see and go through these kinds of experiences as they directly hit home or hit at least pretty close to home, and they seem rather perennial really. We just don't know who or when or what will happen and in what season.

So when the season comes back around again, I am reminded once more to re-focus and cull out what's most important in life. Frankly, there are more things that I choose to accomplish in my life, God-willing, and I honestly cannot put energy into needless negativity right now. I just don't want to do it.

So, regardless of anyone else's last words, these are mine. They are genuine.
