some of the folks that come to my mind had relationships here wherein maybe someone got hurt...someone i liked and cared for
this scot is one that hurt someone for example
and yes there are 2 sides to every story but its interesting
relationship stuff aside its interesting to notice how some we may not like or ended up mad at are still missed for the part they played in the group dynamic.
none of us are all bad or all good. feels nice to remember that.
he was a good and thoughtful penpal over the long haul
he remembered details and it seemed he cared because of it
he was mentally ill but he never hid it
more than one gal took a bit advantage of him financially but what did him the most harm was his unresolved pain from his family of origin- guess i really identified with that
he most certainly was not a bad guy- he was a hurting guy just like most here. at least he had a diagnosis- unlike so many of these holier than thous
meanwhile they sing the praises of those they have had no contact with who happen to have pretty scary criminal records which some of us know for a fact- having been contacted by authorities- but yes this one is great and that one is crap
i thot we werent 'allowed' to insult people on here
silly thing is that that would ever need to be made a rule
he was mentally ill which he always shared so no secrets/surprises yet now he isnt here and no one has the decency to stand up and suggest we not speak ill of those not here to defend themselves
then there are the broken hearted who post about a break up and are immediately shushed because there are 3 sides to every story (yours mine and the truth)and its 'inappropriate' and 'tasteless' and 'bad form, dear, to post such things when the other isnt here to defend themselves'
these same folks talking bad about one are the ones that rush to educate on the 3 sides theory
this place absolutely is a popularity contest based on various attributes people may have or be perceived as having or developed relationships they have and it is just human nature for it to be this way
a big stinkin disappointment, somewhat juvenile- but its human nature
kinda sickening really
yet we cry out in defense of iranian woman and disenfranchised hungry children but dont hold the same principles of fairness in our everyday dealings with folk.
prejudice is prejudice is prejudice-its not based on race and such its based on a decision to hold a grudge, an ongoing choice to be hardhearted and the practice of continuous exclusion.
you can give a million to charity and if you still treat people you come in contact with poorly what good are you really doing in the world?
the ones i see with the bendable standards and principles- here and in the so called real world are the ones i avoid-. they arent emotionally trustworthy
RE: Say something about something, or anything. :)
that thread was just a glaring example of my pointbased on basic principles
its not ok to straight out insult people
esp if they arent present to defend themselves
across the board this stands i think
especially when just turning around and saying that very thing to someone else
i mean come on its funny sort of
in a really sick way
