It may be unwise I should slink away without comment but no it must be said.
Foxy you have nothing to be ashamed of, your family did what mine would do logged in and read the posts.
So many of us, like it or not like this page and the part it plays in our life.
Yes one poster said our persona may be manufactured for this site, well in truth every single one of us has manufactured the face we show the world, every one of us.
From within some people, every one of us if you look hard enough a light shines, the real us.
You are such a person you look for the best in us and your self, having been very close to death I remember that glow, that understanding that life is too short but too wonderful to ignore the whole thing.
We posted our concern for you and us ,the thought we could not share more with you.
Now my Friend Ginx, not just here but in all your recent posts you have let insults speak not you.
I have true concern for you and your fight but my friend please review your anger
Remember far better to be a Wit than a Twit.

You just couldn't leave it alone can you?

I would have let this go after TJ's last comment, but you had to have your say didn't you Belly?

Not just a comment to Foxy, but a little benevolent 'counselling' to me.

SO? what do I do? Not respond and have you feel that your message has shown me the error of my ways? ...!!

OR? respond and prove that you were right all along?

What a dilemma!,....but you can see my decision.

It is based on the principal of: 'if you skate on thin ice you may as well tap dance'!

I wish you no offence. Truly. But I am NOT your friend, I don't know you and vicver ; you use such terminology to soften the message....

The pack mentality-,(not all, but some)-,is to pick up on any negativity and run with it. So I'm getting a lot of this at the moment.(Boy! I would like to say more but I can't.)

Let's see; downstairs has just referred to me as having PMT. I have been called prickly,...what else? do please fill in the gaps.

OLO is a forum of strong and intelligent minds;- all of those minds have sometimes widely differing views. Those views at any one time on OLO are expressed with fervour, contempt, venom, etc.,

TWO>

At any one time on this forum, discussions are taking place that incur exchanges in the strongest possible manner. In point of fact the majority of a diverse range of topics engender a MAJORITY of VERY strong exchanges.

It's the nature of this beast. Look around you Belly, strong minds on strong topics with strong views are occurring here...., right now.

SO...............? what are we REALLY talking about with regard to MY attitude?

I AM A WOMAN. That IS why!

Females (yes; and some blokes), on OLO have put up a strong and spirited defence of the female position in society. Yet:- on BOTH sides of the sexes, that goes straight down the toilet when there is a chance to join the bandwagon, and start the routine of questioning the strength of my approach.

(You understand don't you, that this is in response to your comment to my so-called aggression ONLY).

Here is a way to have a go at me! (Yes I know, not all).

I am responding.

______________________

What total and utter hypocrisy this is!

What 'place' would you put me in Belly? Yobby has already regaled us with his 'hunter gatherer' theory. BOZO has referred to 'feminine, soft'...whatever. And IF a woman wants to be all these things: a homemaker, submissive (of her own volition), etc., That's fine. Liberation is in choice.

I have never adhered to 'what I should be' ( though my two professional careers are renowned for discipline and adherence to strict codes of behaviour. Ah ha!!; that's it. That's why!) ; I will be who I am, and if that offends the gender sensitivities of any of you:- bloody hard luck!

If anyone here seeks to ameliorate the 'anger' of posters on OLO, you are going to be spoiled for choice, aren't you

(I would have posted this with the others but 'FoS' prevented me from doing so!!)

"..........may I ask that you look at Ginx recent posting history all threads?"
Posted by Belly, Saturday, 15 March 2008 5:54:51 AM

ALL THREADS?? It grows like Topsy doesn't it?

.....and alas and alack!.......................THIS post at 5.54am. Your post in 'ONE',-where I'm your friend-......?-at 6.08am!

.....................friendship ain't wot it useta be is it?. But hypocrisy is thriving....

Are we finished now?

Well what can I say after reading this thread and "tone."

Welcome back Foxy - may you continue the fight and grow strong.

Ginx - I do hope you continue your battle in fighting the beast also.

I won't fire Ginx up further as I certainly believe she is fired up enough already for a Sunday.

May God continue to look after you, as day by day both of you get stronger.

I wish continued happy and brighter lives for you both in the future.

This thread has caught my attention again, partly because of its GOODBYE title, and because it's still alive and kicking.

People are different and some people are never going to see eye to eye.
You may never change the thinkings of someone you directly debate with, partly because real changes come from within, and real changes require enormous wisdom and open-mindedness.

To me the most important are truth and the process of getting to the truth.
This must never be second-place to emotions and must indeed rise above good and bad feelings.

I do not have a problem if someone deliberates something truthful in a very rude manner. But I regard dimly anyone who propagates untruth, irregardless of how sweetly the untruth is told.

Good-mannerism is definitely a bonus here, (and anywhere). But the truth must always be in first place to everything else.

I think the goal is not to change someone, but to tell the truth and refute the untruth from your viewpoint, and place emotion & feelings in second place.
