"TPP hope it was not me who up set you,
did not find anything in that thread to fear."

I have a feeling TPP, when she asked "Forrest how could you ask me a question like [that] in public, what did I ever do to you?" was responding tongue-in-cheek to a perhaps too confronting question addressed to her towards the end of my post of Tuesday, 16 November 2010 at 12:25:46 AM. Unfortunately, I have never got used to using emoticons like 'smileys' in my posts, tending to rely upon written context to point up the humour. If any offence was caused, it was unintended, and definitely not meant to be personal.

That's the problem with seeing the funny side to things: there generally tends to be a funny side to everything there is to see, but sometimes the humour bombs out because there will be those to whom the particular issue may be very serious or painful. An example of humour bombing out could easily occur in relation to the use of the iconic image of the little Vietnamese girl running down the road with all her clothes burnt off by napalm, as an illustration on the 'flaming' page of the tongue-in-cheek styled Encyclopedia Dramatica carrying the caption 'An hero of the Vietnam flame woar'.

This would probably not have been funny in real life, but in this context the use of the image is, in my opinion, funny.

Just as a matter of interest for those who may not know, that little girl subsequently became an American citizen. Years later she met the pilot of the aircraft that had delivered the ordnance of which she was part of the collateral damage thereof. They reached personal closure and reconciliation over the incident. It would be very hard to imagine that pilot ever introducing her to others as 'an old flame', however. Nevertheless, if he ever did, it could be thought to be funny.

My own alter-ego was very nearly involved in a napalm strike in that war, you may recall.

I doubt it was you or me FG that thread had a few comments that may have been taken the wrong way.
Some having no idea what took place yesterday will be baffled by the whole thing.
I did not know that story it interests me must look it up.
Loving this retirement thing, miss the blokes but life is full of fun.

In my humble opinion:

UOG: you are doing a great job, just try to stop bringing up the suicidal stuff, it's depressing. as some of us notice, u hv great knowledge and post really good stuff up. good on u! :)

this forum is weird as. the ppl here are weird. well i am weird too. coz i'm jinny. but i don't hv mental problems :p

some of the posters here hv such great points, thy bring it up, expressing their opinions, then get shot down by others, then the personal attacks begin. pretty lame, but thats my opinion. i reckon i'm entitled to that, since i am still allowed to ehem... post

i think all of us can see who are the influential memebers(long term), and some "s s". some actually stay one the topics, a lot drift off elsewhere in their own personal agendas. some threat this as their personal chat room.

tbc

the self-righteous judgmental ones are pretty amusing to observe. some posters just shouldn't be allowed to post. even after being shot down so many times, they just down 'get it'.

certain members here truly respect life form as it is. which is always a joy/pleasure to read.

some actually hv that much time in on their hands they choose to spend it all here, expressing their opinions. some are hypocrites, just read what they write, and watch their virtual actions..lol

but it's always good to see the sincere pure hearted ones that contrubute.. they mk such a difference.

since i got told off quite a number of times, might/not post anymore... what's the point aiy? since my opinion is not respected and valued here, i rather use it somewhere where it is...

Cheers, and TGIF!! weekend! Whoohoo :)

OUG never noticed that in your posts, know mate such is never an answer.
Breaking a rule Jinny, you just must stop blaming the world,stop judging every one but your self.
Stop hiding your problems and looking for others.
That is not an insult Jinny it is advice.
You must,surely understand few want to talk to you here,please open your mind,see your posts know some, me, know of your problems and you show in your bitter stabs you know too.
No human is perfect none are without problems,and the truth is self help is the very best.
If you wish to continue to make little stabbing remarks, and ignore your problems, then know you are close to having no one want to talk, respect my wish Jinny,do not refer to me in your posts I wash my hands of you.
