I think everybody but you took "unable to let go" as a negative judgement, Ax. I hope you can let this one go. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

Yes, Ax, in post #7 you state that your wording was judgmental, and in a harsh way. You said you could not "soften" it, which makes it clear that you knew it was negative. I also know that this is about my personal life, which is not your business to judge, and that I find it distasteful that you would presume to cast any negative judgment about it to post in a public forum. You made assumptions about me and my personal life to even begin this thread, then passed your judgment, and posted it here. It was inappropriate for you to do so, which several people have tried to tell you. I do not know what your problem is, Ax, but please leave me alone. You have no right to treat me this way again and again. |

Brenda, for what it's worth, I don't think Ax was being intentionally rude or offensive in his first post (but I acknowledge that he's been insensitive in later posts). When I read his first post, I didn't detect any ill-will, but after reading subsequent posts in the thread I can understand how that interpretation was made. |

No, I did not "know" nor do I think that it is negative. I just thought that it may be too "strong," and "strong" is neither positive nor negative. 1. You are the one who have chosen to talk about your "personal life" publicly. 2. I have not judge your personal life, positive or negative. (Horace, on the other hand, has definitely judged your personal life -- he judged you a "great Mom" in post #3. I don't suppose you want to tell Horace that it's not his business to judge now that I have pointed out to you that he has done exactly that, do you?) I have made no assumption here. See point #3 in post #25. If you believe that is not the case, quote from my posts here whatever it is that you believe is an assumption and we'll see what's what. I have yet to judge you despite you accusing me of doing "horrible things" in post #22. Reflect on that and think about who is mistreating whom here. |

Ax, I like you, but I'm sorry to say that you are an a$$ in this thread. Whether you intended this or not is irrelevant: Your tone was insulting, and rather than trying to justify your actions (and making things worse), the only valid response would be an apology. |

Yes, Brenda does talk about her personal life, which means that she adds life and warmth to the forum. She is making herself vulnerable by doing so, as we see in this thread. That's the price one pays for friendship. If everybody would behave like you - that is, never talk about any personal things at all - this forum would be dead within a day. |

Sometimes paraphrasing is a good tool for illustration.
I will offer this up in the original Vulcan. It needs no translation.
In other words, "I hadn't enough evidence to form a conclusion but did so anyway. But then I really don't understand any of this stuff, so what the hell.". Sloppy logic there, Pointy-Ears. Ax, when everyone but you receives your message in a certain way, it is obvious you have mis-communicated. As Jon says, put the shovel down and reflect. |
