Cranky_Geezer: I'm sorry, but I still think this is a silly question. I'm not saying that questions about honesty aren't good questions, but geez. Really?
Next question, do you like to crap once a day or do you prefer to hold it in for a week?
jono7: keeping secrets and not being honest is often fear based. too bad he didn't feel safe enough to get honest. withholding info can be a form of dishonesty. sometimes it's just a way of having some privacy. but in a primary relationship, if one is keeping their finances secret...that'd be a red flag for sure to me.
i'm not sure why you included the part about his misfortunes in a public forum? i do hope he's not a member and reading this...
He stopped posting a long time ago. He might read it but I don't care. Nobody knows who I am talking about.

I respect your opinions on this, but that is what they are, your opinions, that does not make them right or true. And your judgment on another members replies on my thread is not welcome.

i don't believe i ever said they were more than my opinions...? but since it has made you uncomfortable, i apologize and will not further post in your threads.
since it was m directing the comment to me....i responded. she and i have chatted in these forums for years. i don't think she took offense,nor was any intended. and there was no judgement. there was a question. reread for clarification.

i think the only judgement present is yours.
I didn't take offense for anything either of you posted.
Tom said something to the effect that he didn't agree with my dissertation about power play but he respected my opinion because we have known each other for years
And now Jono says something pretty much the same thing
I don't take offense when somebody disagrees with me. The only thing that upsets me is when people are disrespectful to me or any other posters.

I'm sure she wouldn't take offence, the reply was mine to you, i'm sorry you can't take critisism without a knee jerk reaction, you will be most welcome on any of my humble threads, But thats up to you

That's the kind of thing that keeps people away from CS. You are starting an argument Tom.
Now she says she won't reply to your threads anymore
What do you think would happen if you insult a dozen people like that?
I would guess a dozen people would no longer reply to your threads. Can you afford to lose that many CS members?

I am not arguing i am putting an opinion , maybe i am wrong again, i did say she would always be welcome on my threads, but I have no control over what people do on here. I think the best thing i can do is leave my thread,
Anyway, i'm glad you are here with your opinions which are quite succinct

Question: Do you think you used your filter when you complained that she mentioned my post on your thread?

i can take constructive criticism. but as none was required or given, (m was not offended, and we were both clear they were my opinions, not 'facts') you provided a great example of different people having different truths, and using power tripping...
tomcatty: Me too Frisky, I'm getting shot down in flames for this viewpoint, ah well
Why would your opinion on someone's viewpoint be more important than the opinion of that person on the content of someone else's post? Because it's your thread?
Either everyone can express their opinion without being told their opinion is not welcome or nobody can express their opinion... otherwise it sounds like a dictatorship
