Frank, Sometimes someone makes a statement about how they like to approach life that challenges the way we live our own. Perhaps their statement makes us feel as though we must put a chink their armor so to speak... so we harry them and harass them to prove a "point".. only to find what we are doing is rather pointless. If someone tells me they like to take a certain approach to their life, even if I personally do not agree with their worldview, I do not go around harrying them and harassing them to prove their worldview invalid.. I accept that the world has different people in it... I may on a message board challenge them on a topic of discussion, but I do not go around harassing the person from thread to thread with dead fish... dead fish stink after a while, they are unpleasant... No one says we have to agree with anyone, or that we even have to be polite... but just to tell ya... your posts smell fishy in my opinon. Recently I made the dumbest post in the world about the civil war,.. a brain fart if you will... those who disagree with my politics use this to harass me, harangue me, bully me.. from thread to thread... they look rather childish.. but there you are... that too is just an opinion that I have of them... they think I am an idiot submissive blonde bitch... such is life. Trying to prove my Daddy is somehow wrong in his worldview by putting his posts under a microscope basically is silly. I can tell you in all the time I have known him he has never lost his temper, been out of control with his emotional states, or in any way shape or form deviated in my mind from his worldview. I admire him for his restraint...He never claimed not to have emotions, he says he decides who the people that he allows to alter his emotions in a negative way are. I get more upset by this message board than he does... which is not saying much, because I rarely get upset at all over it.... there ya are. Anyone that has a third degree black belt has more focus and discipline than I do.
