Shame on you and this forum!

Well, I didn't get involved in the conversations cause I tend to take things so personally.  But, it was interesting reading.  I think politics just brings out the best/worst of people.  It's hard when you whole heartedly believe in something that others don't.  Even my students jumped on each other leading up to the election.

Still, regardless of how it turned out-It was awseome to see so many people finally taking a passionate interest.  Some just more passionately than others :)

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:54:26[QUOTE=AchingAudrey]Okay, okay, I will retreat, thank you inflamedonline for bringing me back to earth.  I was wrong to get so pissed off at y'all and said some things that are totally unlike me, really, I'm not normally an angry person.  Amazing what anger can do to some one though, ain't it?.  I am big enough to admit it.  I apologize to those I have offended and I DON'T wish any harm on anyone.  If I'm ever stupid enough to jump into another one of your political postings, just ignore me.  I swear, I get so angry at political ignorance (jmo), but that's just me, Im sure I'm not the only one.  Once again, I apologize.[/QUOTE]
 
I think this apology is too little too late.  You get so angry at political ignorance.  Whose? Yours?  It came across quite clearly that it is because of the color of BHO's skin that is your problem not the man or his ideas.  So Sad. This is the second time you have done ths and I cannot imagine anyone showing you any forgiveness this time.
Politics & religion are topics that can really alienate people. My mother keeps nagging me to vote for the party (not in the USA) that tried to take all people with RA off disability welfare, and my sister was quite outspoken that there is no life after death - while I was going through radiation therapy. It's just that values cut so deep it's hard for many of us to keep our listeners in mind when we speak up. I don't think the apology is too late.   Hopefully when TeedOff finds herself in a posistion where she is asking forgiviness, people will be more gracious to her than she is being to you.  I guess most people have said things they wish they could take back, I know I have.  I always appreciate when people are forgiving toward me, I am happy to offer the same toward you, AA. 

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:54:54

Never to late to apologize....but at there are always consequences for our actions. Some may not forget.

Always better to forgive.

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:55:16I think you need to go back through 95 percent of your posts and delete them, that is about how many are ugly.[QUOTE=Linncn]I don't think the apology is too late.   Hopefully when TeedOff finds herself in a posistion where she is asking forgiviness, people will be more gracious to her than she is being to you.  I guess most people have said things they wish they could take back, I know I have.  I always appreciate when people are forgiving toward me, I am happy to offer the same toward you, AA. [/QUOTE]
 
Hopefully Teedoff will have the brains not to spew vile crap all over the people of this forum so that I would have to ask for forgiveness.  I cannot believe you condone what AA has said in her many posts unless she deleted them all before you read them.

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:55:47

AA you are forgiven.   when we are sick our emotions run very high.  i understand having strong feelings about this election and trust me if BHO lost we would be hearing much worse on this forum.   much worse from the democrats very few of them know how to lose graciously.    i remember gore.  could you just hear it, everyone yelling about cheating blah blah blah.   a need to revote or count the votes.....   we are all human with feelings that is what makes us alive.   let us keep on living and working together and sharing.   it helps us heal.   take care.    and i thank God i have a group of friends who understand what it feels like to hurt with such horrible pain.  wonderwoman

I never read any of the political posts, but, if someone offers an apology for bad, insensitive behavior, I think we could all be big enough people to accept it. It doesn't mean we condone the behavior, but  AA obviously got carried away and after reviewing her words, saw how hurtful they might be, and asked our forgiveness.  I, for one, forgive her.Can I just say that im all for public apologies when they are genuine, what I hate is when some one apologises in one thread and then starts it all up in another...Respect for a person is earned not just given............I cant undo what  I did with the post in the obama thread, it was reported and i thought it was the right thing to do.  I cant say what the outcome will be but that wasnt just said in the heat of the moment, it was repeated over and over again even when people were telling you how horrified they were with the severity of the posts...I just hope you do realise that what you say does bear consequences It takes courage to apoligize the way you have and I for one appreciate the effort. I wasn't in the middle of all that crap....but I'm ashamed to admit I followed most of it on a regular basis. It's my opinion that there are a lot of people that need to extend an olive branch and I appreciate you being one of the first to step up and try to clear the air around here.
 
Over the years I have seen a lot of people say a lot of things here they regret. Myself included.
 
Thank you AA.

Wonder woman many of us democrats on the board would have accepted it if it was McCain who won the election without carrying on, so please do not assume how all of us would act and the Gore and Bush election is well over so let's not bring up the past. AA thank you for your apology this topic has been terrible to everyone. It is time to let bygones be bygones and walk away from the whole thing and try to get along. WE need each other to get through the real problems in our life and that is the diseases we have to fight on a daily basis. PEACE TO ALL!!! xooxoxoxox meme meme2008-11-07 06:05:13As much as i think someone apologising is a good thing to do I dont see how making comments like AA did can be blamed on being in pain from RA . I dont think she would agree with that either. When we are all in pain we come on here and rant, wonder why RA is so cruel and ask each other for support, we dont make comments like what were posted....
 RA is awful, its debilitating, its challenging, its confusing but its not political.

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:56:09pin cushion, I'm with you. Due to AA's past comments I am highly suspect of this apology. I also find it cowardly that she went back through her nasty posts and deleted them claiming "respect for others". She would have done better letting the posts stand as is and ADDING an apology below them. An act of penance, if you will. I would have had more respect for that.

But we will see if she can hold to this apology.
 
 

This is very interesting...I find myself in everyone’s "CAMP". AA you cant go around puking vile on everyone. Not acceptable. That is why I called you out last week. Never talked to you before then...but we had our row. I think you got tired and stopped and I appreciated that....People are not going to forget how you offended them personally for some time. "deleting" your words I think is more for you than anyone. It is hard to hold a tongue.

I believe we "Frame our world with our words". We can build someone up or tear them down. We can use words to cut like a knife or heal like the best medicine in the world. Words are very powerful. Once released into the universe they are always out there. Words can be loaded with good ammunition or with deadly painful ammo.

To illustrate the power in words just turn to the Bible........The very first scriptures in Genesis....very front of the Bible...God demands faith from us to believe....It says something like...In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.. "He SAID let there be light". God showed us the power in our words by creating the world with his words.

So that is where I get..."We frame our world with our words".

Let's all try to frame our world with Peace and Love and health.......and because I cant help myself and I voted for McCain...a quick 4 years....lol.. I have sense a of humor.

Hugs to EVERYONE

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:56:33Christmas is coming and its a time for peace and joy..theres a lot more serious things going on right now, the situation in Iraq , the situation in the Congo, all those poor little kids who are starving and little Madeline McCain is still missing. My daughters friend is burying her mum next week and its 10 years since my father passed away tomorrow. Owie is going through some really hard times, Cordelia has just lost her mum , little Neve a grandmother . We all have pain and there is still no cure for RA but we are all here on this board , all going through our own lives coping as best we can but we have A LOT to be thankful for.  So before anyone just assumes anything try to put yourself their shoes, dont judge them, try and help them... AA don't try to be a victim in this. You reap what you sow. I have more respect with the yeah I did it..I am sorry...I will take it back and delete it...I think you are one to be watched...your fiesty...I for one like fiesty...just dont like Nasty....at all. Refrain from NASTY mood postings and you will okay. because I am blocked I have to say things public.

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:56:52Audrey- It is my observation that you have been making an effort to keep your posts friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work. There are certain things that get under your skin and then all h-ll breaks loose . Try and refrain from getting involved or opening those posts!Are you seriously going to quote scripture and then obviously hold a grudge against someone that is trying to apoligize? Seriously? Give me a break.
 
I don't know any of you personally and to be honest I didn't read a lot of that crap that really got folks angry although I heard about it and it was horrible. BUT; what I'm seeing is a person that is trying to move on.
 
AA~Do you best to ignore anyone at this point that doesn't believe you and do your best to prove to them that you mean what you say. That's all you can do. You did hurt some very deeply and some people just take a little more time to let things go than other's. Try to be understanding of that. I notice that despite the insults you are receiving on this thread you continue to apoligize and accept those that are still angry and seem to understand their continued angry. I agree that there is little more you can do now than just prove by example that you mean what you say.
 
Don't let anyone goat you into fighting anymore. Let it go. it's not easy.....but it is possible. In the coming weeks there will be other things to think about and no one will even remember half the crap that went on here. BUT; there will always be those that dig up your words to throw them back out here in the future. In my opinion; deleting the things you regret saying is likely a good idea if you don't want to see them here again in the future. When certain people get tired of the peace and decide to stir up trouble for no other reason than they have nothing better to do and they enjoy the drama they'll throw them out here and watch the sparks fly. It's likely that things you have said are already saved in someone's hate files and they will dig them up just when you least expect it. That's classic AI. Sad....but true. Don't be surprised.
 
You guys have been beggin for peace around here and then when someone tries to offer it this is what they get? Really? I just don't get some of you.
 
 

Lovie

 
 
The bible is what we are to turn too.. Scripture can heal, give understanding, fill with faith and love, can correct, direct..Scripture is Gods word and direction...I started to get offended by your post I am sorry. We are all a work in progress.
Now I must get ready to go to see my son.
 
Bestwishes
 
I edited the STUPID OF ME TO SAY.. part out of the post.
inflamedOnline2008-11-07 07:19:21I've read more than enough. I wasn't talking directly to anyone.....except the part about the scripture; and yeah.....that was you. uh...I read you said you followed the post...then you said something about a olive branch...The you said I qouted scripture then go on to hold a grudge?....not sure where you are comming from. But Okay....really it's okay....I gotta go to the hospital now....I will take my lap top with me...helps cure the boredom of waiting patiently for the docs to come in...they take for ever...and yes  know they are busy....but the waiting...ughhhhYou know, it is interesting about some of you. Roxy was literally RUN off this board for a long time. You people drug her through the dirt and then kicked her in the gut when she was down. If it had been in person (not virtual), you may have stoned her to death. And she NEVER said anything vile like AA. And then you people forgive this person? She wished death on our president elect! I have a hard time keeping up with the bipolar ways of this board. You people do not even know who this AA is. She came on originally as a man. What the hell! [QUOTE=Lovie] Are you seriously going to quote scripture and then obviously hold a grudge against someone that is trying to apoligize? Seriously? Give me a break.









[/QUOTE]




Well Lovie, maybe she is performing an exorcism on AA. It may work.I was ugly to Roxy at one point....and I also apoligized to Roxy as well. Not sure if you were referring to me or not; but I felt the need to mention that. I have been kind to Roxy since she's returned. She's back and has been accepted by plenty here. I see no reason to always bring up that past. There's a large number of folks that would never even know there was a problem with her at one point if people would let the past be in the past. Let it go.....she's been doing that. Why can't other's? You hurt her more by bringing it to light over and over again, don't you know that?
 
I'm not going to argue on this thread anymore. No one is defending the things AA said....but many have accepted her attempt to apoligize and move forward. If you aren't one of those people so be it. If you want to carry that around.....you go ahead. I think it's a waist of energy and I always feel better when I let go of things that have been bothering me. Maybe some of you should try it. It's very freeing.
 
Lovie, I could not keep up with the people who ran her off. I'm just referring to anyone who contributed to that. I'm sure Phats will show up soon to try to shout me down.   I'm just saying that some of the same people that ran Roxy out of here, are forgiving a person who has been nothing but obnoxious to this board and has really contributed nothing but hate and sarcasm. I just do not understand that. But then Lovie, she has not personally attacked you yet. Just my two cents worth...I don't post much here but I do try to come here and read every few days and I rarely read the political posts because I get too stressed out. Politics and religion seem to bring out the worst in people. Anyway, I didn't read most of the posts you're referring to and it's easy for me to say since I wasn't attacked by her but AA sounds like she really is sorry and who are we to say "No, you're not forgiven". Forgiving isn't forgetting though and words cut to the bone. My mother always told me to think before I speak and to ask myself how I would feel if someone said to me the things I wanted to say to them. I've tried, not always succeeded. I think forgiveness is more for the person who has been hurt then for the offender. Forgiving can help heal.What I'm hearing from several of you is that this is the past, lets forgive and move on. So, lets then go ahead and forgive Obama for anything he has done in the past and for anyone he has associated himself with. Is that fair? Seems like the right thing to do to me. I would think that if you can forgive AA, then you can extend this same courtesy to Obama and any other political figure out there that has done you wrong. And this goes for AA also, maybe this will begin to heal the personal pain that Obama inflicted on her. Sounds like a great plan. Lets end this thread. But if I hear one of you speak vile about our new leader, I'll be quick to remind you, of your ability to forgive and forget. I am all for forgiveness but it takes time. I don't think it is fair to spew forth nastiness for weeks, attack fellow RA sufferers with differing opinions and then turn around and expect forgiveness because you typed the words "I apologize".

Actions speak louder than words and I do believe AA is trying and I commend her for that.

AA,

I forgive you.  But, I have to be honest I'm a little concerned about the "political ignorance" comment.  It seems every time you apologize, you still manage to throw the blame elsewhere. 

I'm all for putting this behind us and moving on.  I think we all agree that politics and religion always cause heated arguments.  They are very passionate subjects.


Audrey,
 
Why worry about what these vile and ugly people say. You have every right to say what you want or believe. I believe that you do really wish that Barack doesn't make it to the white house. You still have that right and it's good that you exercise it before that freedom is taken away. Your passion, concern and love for our country is comendable. As you can see many of these vile individuals are not even from this country. These ugly people are very particular about who they attack. If it's one of their friends they don't comment or will make  excuses for their friends. You said that you hope Barack didn't make it to the white house. Probably many people wish the same thing. Many probably even are praying for him to not, whether through illness, death, impeachment or that he just be found to be a traitor. Many of these same nasty members used to belong to a group that decided who was and wasn't accepted as members here at AI. Many of these non-americans are jealous of our country and our freedoms because they live in countrys that have continually taken away freedoms and liberties as Pin cushion has told us about her country. Pin cushion is one of these nasty people. She sneaky-snaked her way into a political thread saying that she knew not much about american politics and usually don't get involved (colin powell thread) and when she didn't like the debate, she reaches into the left sleave with the right hand and slaps down the race card because, she has two "black god children" and she believes that she can trump truth and righteousness with her race card that she aquired with her "black" god children. When she doesn't get enough sympathy and believing that she can continue to sway even more people to her "cause" she posts this long stupid "I'm leaving" post and probably "never coming back" thread. Same nasty people begging her to stay and giving her the sympathy she was looking for, nasty. She never left, what a surprise. As for Lorster and her little following, they are the nastiest filth that has ever been to this forum. Anytime Lorster and her friends attack you, wear it like a badge of honor. When the filth don't like you, you know you are on a good road. Inflamed "don't" like nasty but look how nasty she is. She found her opportunity to pounce as a group and she is taking full advantage of it. She's nasty. Pin cusion said that she reported you. Who did you report it to Pin cusion? The Queen of England? You see, over here Pin, we are still allowed some free speach and yes over here people still play the race card and some even allow it. Nast, nasty, nasty. Using a race card is one of the nastiest things a person can do and again shame on you. Maybe we should all adopt african american children so that we will have "special" powers, right? Or. I gess we can just be god parents to black children and aquire our own race card, filthy, filthy. Do you also threaten to leave your husband when you can't get your way? And Lorster, what trash. When has their ever been a "group" attack where Lorster hasn't tried to be the alpha female of the "bitches". She and her rabid clan. And her sneaky-snake sidekick that is always in on every controversy and attack and then starts a thread like "why can't we all just get along?" Here's an answer because yous are nasty and look forward to a good attack. That's why. Got it?
 
LEV

Lev . how dare you bring up my god children as pawns in this ugly game you and your little sicko group like to play...yes lev i reported it...not the race thing lev dearest...the threats of harm to Obama...oh you didnt read them AA deleted them..( sorry AA not having a go at you but wanted Lev to know what i was talking about) i reported it to a proper site.  Yes my god children are black and im damn proud to be their god mother  even if they were white chinese spanish or aliens from mars. I never used a race card Lev I took a pop at AA for making racial remarks ( sorry again AA for bringing it up but its what lev is wittering on about). I dont need to leave my husband, hes a good decent man, and dont start on him Lev as you wont know whats verbally attacked you. The only person on here who is dirty and vile mouthed is you, you go on about peoples children and their parents being bad people, you are bad Lev a nasty bad disgusting vile person...You are only upset about AA now as you feel you are losing "TEAM LEV"...............Go call DONN

Well, look who stopped chewing wood long enough to poke his little brown shiney head out of the wall and comment. I think everyone on this site knows who is the most vile of all. Look in the mirror...but first remove that piece of oak Lev. Please do not call me any names. Because I protect the integrity of all human beings, I'm a hateful, vile, nasty person. I think you have absorbed too much of the varnish lev. Go Back in your hole where you belong.

Oh, and BTW, the cold filtering is not working, try something else.Oh I need to add...no im not jealous of not being an American citizen..im very proud to fly the union Jack...I like America and a majority of people ive met from there....My country hasnt taken anything away from me...it just says its againt the law to call people who have a black skin nasty names...thats giving me something rather than taking it....Ive met better black people Lev than you will ever be

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:57:51Wow, Lev sure has a way to get people riled up... Pin, don't let words offend you. They are just words... I actually think that Lev may be a very interesting person to meet in person. I have the feeling that a lot of what he says is for show. Thought out to elicit a certain response. I've met people who believe things that he says and he doesn't really sound like them... I could be wrong...
 
AA, I do not believe you need my forgiveness nor anyone else's here. At the end of the day, when you look in the mirror what do you see? If you are pleased, then it's all good. If not, why not? Find the behavior that makes you not pleased with yourself and correct it. It actually is that simple... For me, I accept you as you are. A passionate person that sometimes lets her passions get the best of her... That is something to work on. Not something to be ashamed of...
 
Be well...
 
BTW people, wishing (in a fit of anger) that the President-Elect not make it to inauguration day is far from making a threat. Used to work in Law Enforcement (in a previous life), if they took every angry comment as a threat, there wouldn't be enough Secret Service agents to cover them all. You wouldn't believe the cooks I used to talk to and no, we didn't follow up on every nut's statements. Unless of course they actually said the magic words, then they get checked out and flagged by the SS... Every time their name pops up on any LE database, a job, pulled over by police, finger print clearance, IRS... A big red flag waves and makes their life difficult... A cop might pull you over for a broken tail light and you'd spend the rest of the day trying to explain why the SS has you flagged as a person of interest to National Security... Heh...

Forgot to mention... AA I am proud of you for seeing that you may have offended people and apologized... Says something about you...

AA, no they arent laughing at all....they have the orignal post, wasnt a laughing matter. The same post isnt still on the thread, it was changed very quickly...now im letting it go

Awww... Lev! I have been wondering where ya been and all. I had not seen you around since I came back to the board. But I see you are still as bitter as when I took a break from the board.
 
I thought we were making head way into being friends. I have nothing against you. But seems you like to hold a grudge.
 
I did not attack, Audery. Nope. No, have not been in on every controversy, and if I was I was just trying to defuse the problem some. Sorry for trying to get our beloved board back to the way it use to be.
 
I am starting to think that, you LveLarry... are the least of our worries. Heck, I think you have grown on some. I saw where a bunch of people, I would not have thought would have, took up for you on that one thread.
 
BTW, Lev... your knees did look really bad, and painful. I sure hope they do not feel as bad as they looked.
 
Hope you are doing well, Lev, and that is the reason you have not been posting much lately. Or is it because Cindy took your computer from you?

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 10:59:00MacInTrash????? WHAT?????   I beg to differ on that one. I have only ever owned macs but I have used PCs on occasion and I must say. You get what you pay for!! I will keep my macs, thanks.

I prefer coke

I also like toaster streudels but if you want a really good toaster pastry, try Natures's Path Organic frosted toaster pastries wildberry acai flavored. They rock!

And as far as the pen goes...I have to use black at work and I hate it. I use a pen as little as possible other than work. Bravo JasmineRain It's Coke for me. I like a little with my Rum.I don't drink much soda....I prefer Sweet Tea. The sort of tea you geti n the South that's really sweet. I have gotten to where I'll drink a diet soda at the office now and then and I like it better because it's not so sweet....go figure.
 
I like an old fashion pencil when possible but will use ink when nessesary. I like colors but it's not as professional although I use multiple colors and code things on my calendar and stuff.
 
Pop tarts? Love me some frosted Cherry! Yummy. I use to eat them every morning but I realized; I;m gaining weight! So I've changed my breakfast of choice to a late morning apple. I'm sure about that third cup of creamy, sweet coffee makes up for those calories but I feeling I'm helping.
 
 
[QUOTE=José]Wait, pepsi tastes like malted battery acid... Coke rules... I do like a frosted pop tart with an ice cold glass of milk after dinner... Yummm... But I am starting to gain a little weight now that I am not the studly multisport athlete of my youth...
 
Jas, you should see my workstation, 2 PC's both 21" flat screens. I use one keyboard with a switch, I've got a trackball and a digital mouse both hooked up and I switch depending on what hurts that day. LOL... A laptop... I need to get me one of those but I am waiting until I can convince the president of the company that the company wants to buy  me one...heh...
 
I know what you mean about PC vs Mac, I grew up with both in my house. My dad worked as a Manager at Motorola, the engineers couldn't stop arguinf with the designers about which was better... 
I hear ya about the weight - I only buy pop-tarts once in a while.  Otherwise I could live on them.  And I have reduced my Coke habit to one per day (for the most part!!).

I have 4-port KVM so that I can use one or more of the laptops at the desk in addition to the workstation computer.  I've only got one monitor on the KVM, but it's a 24" HP high-def beauty.  I have an additional 20" monitor just attached to the workstation.  I've got a couple of keyboards - one wired gaming keyboard (I don't play games but I love the backlit keys on the keyboard) and one wireless keyboard that serves as a big remote-control if I'm just using the computer to watch TV or listen to music.  I also have a mouse and trackball, so I can switch off as needed.

HI Audrey, I think you deserve a pat on the back even now when you are receiving a lot of flak, you still remain sorry and you could have just thrown your hands in the air and said stuff it, keep up the good work.  I honestly think the way the forum has been lately it kind of rubs off on us all at times and can turn us into someone we normally wouldn't be.  Lets strive for peace and aim to help those that need it.  Regards Janie.

I'm a bit of a geek.PEPSI RULES!!!!! SMORE POP TARTS ARE THE BEST ESPECIALLY WARMED IN THE MICROWAVE NOT THE TOASTER. My day goes with my supervisor calling me every 5-10 minutes in his office to show him how to email or print up a letter. Can we say he is not computer savy???? He can't even use his cell phone right, half the time when I am trying to contact him when he is out of the office he doesn't even have his cell phone with him I punch up his number and can hear it ringing in his offce!!! lololol We are starting new programs up in our county and I am hoping to have two new laptop shortly for the office so I can keep up to spend both with the county and the state.

You should have probably changed the signature line is this is a telling sign you both are the same.

Where in Mexico are you?
AA...Stop It. My Lord have you lost your mind. Why dont you stop? Reall, how is this all working for you?I'm sorry, but I am having a  really hard time with this. I have never posted on a controversial thread simply because I am too sick right now. I have done nothing but post supportive and encouraging  messages.
 
In the last month I got out of an abusive marriage.
I packed everything myself while in my worst flare.
I moved with no money and no job, because I am disabled, but denied disability.
I went to court and faced hubby and plead for a restraining order which was denied because hubby begged and schmoozed judge about his getting a U S customs job - a lie.
I was then in a very bad car accident and have severe whiplash and back injuries, which docs say will take years  to heal because I was so fragile to begin with.
 
I came here for support and some have been wonderful, but one person told me I needed to stop whining and grow up. I hope nobody has to go through what I have been through.

Shame on you and this forum!

Sorry, but I have jumped on nothing. I think you lack the self control to stop responding with nasty post, or you view it all as entertainment and enjoy keeping things in a flair. Either way it is interesting how easy you are so easily aroused whatever reason it may be.

Posting pics of others and taunting them because you don’t like their appearance is mean spirited. I seen your pics, I don’t see where you think you are all that and a bag of chips 2.

I think your apology is now lacking sincerity and credibility.
