Squabbling

Post by George.Wright »

One minute soapbox, again.
If LC read our greetings, he would bow his head in shame now.
No one WHO LOVES LC should be forced off this Board
I am annoyed that a believer in LC should have to exit!
The guilty should modify their postings FOR LC is for us all.
I am ashamed that this has had to happen.
IT SHOULD NOT!!!!!
This Board is for all.....................even Here***.
Please stop this nonsense now, the Board is the loser!!!

obviously, i agree.

there's this other thing to keep in mind: DON'T TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY. this should be a good advice even in real life, but here - on the internet - it's only way to survive.

there are thousands of people enjoying in causing other people pain. they make viruses (Georges should know, right?), they lie and insult. they do it for fun.

it's easier to write something ugly than to look someone in the face and say it. but it is even harder to read than hear it, because it doesn't disapear in thin air, but hangs before your eyes and laughs at you.

learn from Heretic-formerly-known-as-partisan: take things easy. Leonard doesn't read this rubbish, so he won't be insulted if someone dares to say: he does it for money.

we don't all have to think the same. if you see that you can't change someones opiniones - leave it be.

i'm sorry for lectures, but this recent events asked for them.

This is not about taking yourself too seriously it is about basic respect. Leonard appears to be dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't.

If for instance someone gives you a present you are pleased whether or not it was what you wanted. It is is the act of giving that is the gift not the present itself.

Leonard took the time to read and respond to our greetings yet his words were analyised as if it should have been the Sermon on the Mount. It was a basic thank you what more could he do.

Why not accept the message in the spirit it was given rather than pick at the content.

As far as squabbling goes - thats life - get over it. If peoples opinions differ they will squabble, it doesn't go any deeper than that.

I will probably be damned for getting involved.
Then again i am already damned.
Only Leonard knows if he read it or not.
Everyone is just imposing their own assumptions on others, as usual.
If i had to choose i would guess he didn't.
It matters not.
I don't care.
It doesn't make his work any better or worse.

If someone could find that off button this would never have happened.
We now have two people here who are profoundly mentally ill.
Debating with them is futile.
