Halloween

[Steeltrap]

You're welcome, novella_000.
You created a new word in my vocabulary, what with the "binch" and all.

I find it interesting that people are responding to this thread as if they are on trial.

I am attempting to put the shoe on the other foot so I can better understand where you all are coming from. I have seen threads pop up on more than one occasion, where members are voicing their opinions about certain behaviors they observe in sisterfriends (asking questions that have already been answered, seeking membership information, not searching, etc). I do not get excited when these posts appear. If they don't apply to me specifically, then they must apply to some other sisterfriend. Otherwise, the post would not be there.

So for the life of me, I can't understand why people who say they do not have "elitist" posting patterns are so upset by my comments. If the shoe doesn't fit you, it will fit someone else. Only the guilty feel the need to get defensive.

I post with a muted chuckle here... because the trial has not begun.

Perhaps my (or maybe our, though I can't speak for others) tone was mistaken...

There is very little to say in rebuttal, and I use that term loosely, to you MD. However, I applaud you in standing firm...
I represent myself, not b/c I feel I have been indicted, but b/c this thread was of interest.

You can commence to all of your shouting from the rooftops...
Actually, it's more like you're whispering through a megaphone... either way you've been successful in making your opinions known. Isn't it great knowing who you are when it really counts?

It amazes me that posted your opinion & you didn't want a response? Or maybe you did and you got it? I don't know?
Guess I am just dumb?

You know what...

MidwestDiva and CodeBlue, I owe the two of you an apology.

I am not repenting for my opinion, only my attitude.

It is a massive irritation for me when people cry WOLF all of the time... For instance, I have a co-worker who cites racism on any occasion that a white person is involved in one of her daily irritations... Alternately, if she has a problem with a black person, she cites jealousy. That bugs the crap outta me.

So...

Whenever I hear someone speak in what I feel to be a sensationalist tone, or they pull one of those, "Well it's because so-and-so is a such-and-such" comments... I get this malicious urge to be rude & sarcastic. Possibly adding fuel to the fire, or just inciting some sort of negative vibe/behaviour. It is a major character flaw on my part, and I apologize.

MD your comments irritated me because they sounded like someone whose had a bad experience with something and thereby labels all others. I may be wrong, I have no way of knowing, and frankly, it doesn't matter. It was wrong of me to post in the attitude I posted in. If you didn't sense it, great! But, I have to "correct the negativity" from my end if you will... I apologize for my personal assumptions and attitude.

CodeBlue, your comments irritated me personally because, as I stated it all sounded so sensationalistic... Like on of those chain e-mails that tells you bad luck is imminent if you don't forward the item to 15 people. I was wrong for my attitude and my assumptions... I apologize to you too.

Now that doesn't change how I feel about the comments you made... But there is enough drama around here without my sarcastic mouth contributing to the fire.

Now I realize neither of you needed my apologies... but you know, good vibes are good vibes, and I'd rather transmit those.

I didn't modify my previous posts or send private e-mails for this because I am hoping that those who've already read what I had to say will read this and accept my apology too. Our GC Moderators attempt to weed out the crap, and they do a good job... But I can take responsibilty for my words/attitude too.

I'm not upset. I already said I was an "elitist", as you call some of us. I'm sorry that not everyone has that platinum BAP card. Now, take yourself back on to the post-1913 organization forum you want to be a part of and see how many brownie points they are going to give you.

***Oops. Did I offend? My mama warned me about my tongue. Bad, AKAtude!***

***AKAtude singing...This...Is...A...Serious...Matter!***

I thought this thread was about HALLOWEEN....

hmmmmmmm. TRICK OR TREAT? I guess it's all tricks! LMAO!

There is too much going on in this world than to wonder/assess/see/pay attention to who is or who is NOT posting in a particular forum. Why is it so important? Why are you all wasting your time responding? What is it going to change?

PEEPS, do what you want, it's your PC, it's your fingers, it's your decision. When someone decides to pay your ISP bill, then you can become controlled..otherwise...leave the mess alone!

This discussion should have been over from the get-go.

Didn't I state in the Pearls of Wisdom about posting here and everywhere else? This should have been deleted days ago!

I was having too much fun.
