If someone has a personal gripe with me, they can contact me by e-mail or PM. To clear things up, I was mainly talking about ONE post to Lisa complaining about other members on the site. I may have jumped the gun by saying I saw at least two incidences, but that was how I felt at the time of my post. I apologize if it offended anyone, but I don't need to be berated for having my own opinion either.

So now I'm being called an idiot? I was going to post another post stating that I am SORRY for posting this thread at all. And yes, stating that someone's thread is "bull" is rude and unnecessary. Maybe my initial comment was as well, I don't know. I didn't intentionally lash out at anyone or bash their comments.
All I know is that I'm dealing with quite a bit emotionally right now and I'm about to give up on here AND the other forum. Someone else just called ME a "retard" because of this same post, then claimed it wasn't directed at me. But they said it in a PM, so there's nobody else it could have been directed towards.

Maybe I am an idiot because I just realized I am SO SICK OF ALL THIS BULL just like you and ParakeetWhiz...

is everyhitng ok TBeyes??
Is somthing else bothering you?? we are all here to talk and help...

Let me know if I can help with anything You have my PM address

i'm just having an emotional breakdown in general, and i think all of this is driving me even nuttier. i have PMS and bipolar disorder... and my so-called best friend just called me fat and lazy the other day, then said "i didn't mean it!" so i'm just sick and tired in general. i'm sorry to be such a b*tch.

It is ok... we all get that way sometimes....
and if your friend makes jokes about you like that.. it is no friend. More like a passive agressive abuser... I would re think that relationship. No TRUE friend would say those things and say they were joking. I have had friends before tell me (in total love and caring ways) that I have gained too much wieght, and that it was not healthy. They said it out of love, and I took it that way... but if someone is joking or trying to MAKE a joke out of it... than I would really reconsider that relationship.

You do not deserve that from anyone... let alone a "friend"... (but also consider that they were having a bad day too.... but I would still be cautious)

I would have some chocolate for the PMS (or tea! peach or mint flavored tea helpes me always feel better), adn just get a good nights sleep, adn remember that there are people around here (and other fourms) that care about you, and we want the best for you

Take a step back, take a deep breath. Thank the heavens for your adorable (!!!!!) Keet and all the other things you have been blessed with, and relaise that it will all be ok, and that we all care about you

Miss_Ingle - but this post is exactly what people complain to me about. There is no reason to say *anyone* on the forum is an idiot which is what you clearly did.

It's one thing to express an opinion constructively. It's another thing to make degratory comments about other forum members- whether you explicitly single them out or try to claim it applies to "everyone".

I'm sorry if you don't see why this upsets many people, but you should at least accept that it does. It is precisely this type of post that is upsetting people. People don't get upset by constructive posts. However, they email me in droves when someone posts like this - a post that is generally abusive, that only complains but does not promote a constructive improvement.

A constructive improvement would be for people not to call other people in this forum idiots.

You hang in there!! ANYBODY who calls you "fat and lazy" is NOT your best friend and is not a friend at all. There is no excuse for a friend saying something like that to you - I can't imagine saying that to any friend I have! A friend is supposed to stay by you, support you and help you reach your dreams. This person sounds abusive. I would take a break from them for a while and spend time with other friends who are more faithful to you.

Life is far too short to *ever* put up with degratory talk or people putting you down. We should be supporting each other and helping to make our world a better place.

Wow!

How are things going Tigerblue??? I have been thinking about you
