Jas have your ever seen such corrosive thought patterns. the criticism and judging of others only weakens their position.

What do you call all the nasty threads you have with Phatgirl? Is that being nice
Or when you ranted that everyone who uses drugs are addicts? My comment was not about usage but overuse.
Why are you not lecturering Gimp for her constant insults to people? Oh I forgot because you do it too. Birds of a feather
I think you are a hippocrite and in the words of PHATS GET OVER YOURELF!!!!!!!
Well, I see that things haven't changed here at all. It was just a matter of time before y'all started to stir the pot again...people are the same, only the names have changed. [/QUOTE]
umm... no
that is not why.

Go back inside your rat hole.
Mabus, all you had to do was PM her. Now you have woke up the devil.Does anybody but me notice that while the "trolls" always change, the "victims" always are the same "innocent" people? Just a thought.[QUOTE=lorster]
Because Gimpy is a Canadian, believes in alternative methods to treat her illness, takes a more liberal stand on issues, is proactive and does not believe everything she hears.....somehow this makes her bad in your eyes.
[/QUOTE]
Really? That's how you see it?
This had nothing to do with her methods of treatment, her liberal issues, or the fact that she is proactive. It was about her using words in a derogatory manner. She was insulting and she knows it. She also knows it's not the words that are insulting, it's the context in which they are used.
kweenb2009-01-17 10:30:15kweenb, Using words in a derogatory manner is common place here. but somehow, there are only a few of us that get criticized for it. Somehow, many on the board are immune. I could bring up posts for everyone on this board if you would like me to prove my point. Let's all start taking responsibility for our part in the degradation of the board.

I gotta second that one. There is definitely a double standard around here.
Or wait, should I say:
". This forum is full of gratuitous bashers, and you're one of them.
For example, this thread has nothing to do with you, but you still had to jump in.
the nonsense PM's like; BOOGIEMAN and HAHAHAHAHA are no longer

Well, there's a double standard. This has nothing to do with me so I shouldn't post? Do you remember me coming to your defense over your right to talk about US politics even though you aren't a US citizen?
When you bring your arguments out on a public board, you made it the public's business.

I'd like to point out the irony that it was mabus who brought this "out on a public board" in response to me responding to something she posted privately.
No matter how you try to justify it, you're still jumping in to gratuitously bash (at every opportunity, I might add) so don't try to pretend your poo doesn't stink.
I already had something similar posted, but I accidentally deleted it when I was editing.Oh, good grief.
Gimpy, this whole mess started because of your name calling on the Miranda thread, so don't act like you're so innocent. I just think you should take responsibility for your actions.
kweenB, my pm to mabus was pointing out how I
wasn't name calling, and how she was "twisting" what I said (the "twisting" police, or course, are only assigned to me. Lorster was so right on about the double standard here). I guess in your mind, though, whoever is "against" me is automatically right.
you are in a smokey brain fog...geeeezzz
Your 1st PM to me was to learn to read
your 2nd to shut up
3rd boogieman
4th hahahahaha
Jas is right you need to get some mental health.......

I don't feel that way at all.
Gimpy...what you fail to understand is that it isn't your actual opinion that people object to, it's the arrogant way you consistantly present it. You come across as believing that if one does not share your world view, they are somehow morally lacking or just plain stupid. Now, maybe this is what you really do think and if so then you should not be surprized that people are often offended by the things you say. But if it isn't what you really think, maybe you should take a closer look at how you say things. Oh good grief
This was my daughters handiwork. She was looking through the emoticons and thought it was cute. It isn't related to any post by anyone. Just my goofy daughter. :)
Linncn2009-01-17 15:24:24Well, Linncn, I'm okay with that. But thanks for the unasked for free advice.

I find this very ironical as that is exactly the way you came off to me in your pm back in Nov. Practice what you preach.
Finally, a post of reason.
I don't know what TeedOff is referring to. Gimpy~ take it for what it's worth, maybe something, maybe nothing.
[QUOTE=mabus] you are in a smokey brain fog...geeeezzz
This is exactly what I'm talking about. The way gimp comes across as some of you have stated is not ok, but statements like this...are. This is insulting. What part of this statement by Mabus is ok? I'd really like to hear. And I am not talking about comparing to how gimpy presents herself. Lets break it down to just Mabus and talk about that statement.
Linncn
I am referring to your very rude pm to me in Nov. criticizing my use of the english language, specifically the word CONDONE when I asked you why you would CONDONE the behavour of AA after her inflammatory remarks about hoping PE Obama didn't make it to his inauguration and you came to her defence.
Changing the subject here momentarily, but this relates to the remark TeedOff mentioned:
JACKSON, Miss. — A Wisconsin man was arrested Friday in Mississippi
after authorities said he threatened on the Internet to kill
President-elect
Barack Obama.
Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, was taken into custody by the Secret
Service in Brookhaven, Miss., and charged with threatening to
assassinate Obama for what he claimed was "the country's own good,"
federal prosecutors said. The criminal complaint was sealed until
Christopher's appearance in federal court.
Federal Judge James C. Sumner ordered Christopher held until a bail hearing next Thursday.
"Threats against the president-elect will be taken very seriously,"
Dunn Lampton, U.S. attorney for the southern district of Mississippi,
said in a release. "Use of Internet chat rooms to express those threats
is as much a crime as uttering the words. Threats of this nature will
be pursued swiftly and vigorously."
An affidavit from Secret Service Special Agent Kelly Adcox released
by Lampton's office quotes Christopher as saying he has nothing
personal against Obama and that he's not a racist. Authorities said
Christopher made the threats Jan. 11 and 15 on the Web site . http://www.alien-earth.org

Okay, back to your conversation. :-)
Thank you for sharing that Joie. It is nice to know these people are being reported. I'm not sure if what AA did was actually a threat but just a hope that ithappened. TeeD~ Ahh. Yeah, I do remember that and I was rude in that pm. But you accused me of condoning something that I did not condone. If you condone something that means you think it's right and agree with it. I don't remember the thing, but whatever it was I did not condone it according to the definition of the word condone. Still, I could have said what I meant without acting like you were an idiot. I'm sorry for the rude way I spoke to you. Seriously, I really am.Yeah, probably just trash talk, "hopeful" thinking, but it was against the President-Elect, and this case demonstrates that the secret service takes note of such internet conversations.
Did you notice that the entire thread is still up for the entire world to see?Of course Lorster, I guess that since it was not only right but honorable to throw shoes at President Bush, according to you and most liberals, it will certainly be okay to throw shoes at P e Obama, right? I noticed in the current events thread you called President Bush "the monkey that's run this country for eight years" and yet you admonish anyone that doesn't speak sweetly of P e Obama. You're a trip, Lorster.
Gimpy, It's a strawman conspiracy.

Thank you very much for the apology... it is accepted and appreciated
My understanding of the word condone and in my dictionary it says to pardon; forgive; overlook AA's remarks, I felt, in know way should have been pardoned or overlooked and when you make threats to someones life I find that very hard to forgive.
Thank you again for the apology.
Wow...somethings never change! And didn't you guys vote for the man who was all about CHANGE! Things that make ya go "hmmm."
wow..
Here's the thing.. in the good ole US of A...we are allowed to call our presidents and president 2 be... and past presidents ..... names...
but we are not allowed to threaten to kill any of them.........
free to speak..but not to threaten............ bottom.line.
Hey blessed, how are you doing? I have not seen you here for quite a while? Are you still foster parenting? How is that going? Catch me up.It's been a long time...I know. Yes, we are still fostering and have 5 as we speak. Still don't have my RA under control and am on Enbrel, Arava, and Prednisone. Had to stop all my meds at Christmas as I had to have my appendix out on the 23rd. So I just got back on them and they're not back in my system yet.
I'm sorry to here you are having such a time with your skin pain...hope your RA is under control.
Oh my...are you holding up with 5 kids and RA? That has to be really hard. But it is nice that you are providing a good home for children that need that stability. My 23 yr old doesn't think it is in our best interests to be foster parents. Heck the other night he made a comment about my arm calling it my "rigamortis arm." He said he meant to say "rheumatoid arm." Who knows...maybe he's right. I will continue doing it until I feel I can't.
Well, I always say that the rigormortis has set in when I sleep or when I sit for a long time. Guess I know what it is gonna really feel like LOL
