If the forum for all posters or just a few?

I was referring to this forum in general. We would all be far better off if once topics died away they were not resurrected and regurgitated all over again in A. other threads where they have minimal to no relevance or B. threads set up to be so broad to encourage such behavior. I suspect most of us have been guilty of that at one point or another. Originally Posted by discreetgent

This is where all the rancor stems...one person inability to apologize for clearly mislabeling another and the collective group instructions not to talk about the incident. It is a festering boil. (How do you like that visual?)

That what I think about the BS happenings of late. Not that anybody gives a flying fuc what I think.

Sorry Chuck, I forgot my sarcasm smiley. I sometimes forget that some here aren't quick enough to spot it without one.

I see that point, that is true. But sometimes issues stay unsolved and need to get worked out beforehand.That is IMHO the reason why they come up again and again. Closing threads , posting cheeky one-liners without explanations don`t do respect justice. Issues need to get solved with everyone involved. Taking hiatus and waiting til the heat goes down is childish and the reason why such things happen in the first place.

So - if i am accused of something as outrageous as being antisemitic (especially with my background??? hello???) i demand the right for clarification and the right to make a statement. Getting mobbed in such a way is not funny. Can`t see humour there. ANd i demand that someone who accuses another person of doing so engages in discussion and clarifies a point. Given my previous statements about fascism , nationalsocialism it is just outrageous to accuse me of antismitism - just because i pointed out what DALAI LAMA said to clarify on why i am critical of Karma. Some people seriously need to learn to READ thoroughly.

Accusations as outrageous as that are no "Gentlemen`s crime" . In Austria, Germany and Switzerland i can actually go to court with something like that and sue this person for accusations like that just based on out of context statements that i made. Just because i citate Dalai Lama with quoting him that Jesus was killed by Jews does not make me an antisemit. This is outrageous. Bring that in front of a court and i win bigtime!
Europeans take such things VERY seriously. So sorry for going bonkers on that one, i don`t take such accusations lightly.

My jewish ex boyfriend for seven years (he is 64 now, his parents were survivors) pointed out to me how antisemitic Karma is and asked me to stop talking about Karma and this new age bullshit. He explained thoroughly why. And i believe him. Still do. I was once a naive fashion believer also in everything eastern until he made some things transparent to me.

ps: If people don`t want to engage in honest and serious discussion i can see that too - but then they should be charged for posting ADS, right? Other than that is it unpolite and rude when asked for clarification to not answer anymore. Then of course things come up all the time. Its logical. No news there? If you ignore problems then you keep dragging them around. Ignoring issues is a waste of precious lifetime. Its annoying for me too, to see how everyone has improved in tone and tries to behave and then just one person thinks she is excluded and does what she always does. Attacking people personally when getting caught in flaws of logic or being ignorant when admitting to be wrong. What`s new? So - no surprise that things come up again and again and again......Go figure :-)

I think I'll go spend my time putting back together the list that Edward ate.

I would think that a prerequisite for giving the test would involve having had a date with at least one lady on the list.

Would blindfolds preclude that?
