Piper:

For what it's worth I think your thread has done a great deal of good.
It certainly has cleared up a lot of things for me. As I originally stated the art of reasoned, intelligent argument is a skill not easily acquired. I'm still learning. We each have our own styles, however one thing that has come out of all this is that whilst we don't all have to post in the same manner - it's best not to appear insulting or abusive. Few people like or support an abusive, or illogical debater. After reading many of the comments here, I would
think that most of us would agree on that point. Anyway Piper - you've asked some important questions - hopefully others have also learned from the answers you've received. If only there were more like you ;-)

I think u brought up a great post TPP. I learned a lot from it. I suppose it's just hard for me coming from a different culture that is not full of spite, understanding, acceptance, respect, and appreciating what they have.

Too bad they tk joy in putting others down in order to make them feel more superior..

I do take it to heart.. But I will survive.

Just sad to see how humans have forgotten it's not about them but every other living being n our planet.

Too bad that even wt this thread they have not learned to respect the rules

TPP your thread has been great.
I feel like I tread on glass.
Early one morning I found two posts, in different threads.
I felt duty bound to report them.
And did.
You would have too, anyone would have.
Judge me on what you know of me not what you do not know about the issue.
Jinny from your first post I tried to give you good advice, that, you charge every thing from Australians to those who question you with an easiness you appear not to use on your self.
A quick reread of your post history will confirm my opinion.
Only you can change and it could be to your benefit if you do.
TPP my remarks in your other thread are based on the concerns I have aired here.

Belly: when I thanked u, it is for the lessons u hv thought me, not for ur support, n I have grown a lot since my first post, and I hv admitted to every wrongs I hv committed.

Thanks to the advice here, I can let it go. So that is what I thanked for, not ur support coz I already know I hv only myself to do that. I am hear to learn, not fight, not to get judged, not to get abused. Period.

Aw Belly don’t worry about it. If you did what you felt was right it is a done deal and good on ya. And others obviously felt it correct as well.

Until I saw on cyberia that one of them complained about something I thought I had left the message that caused Jinny’s thread to be deleted. I suspect I was part of it but not the whole story.

Like I said, I came recently from a rougher places. While Anti was having a go at me someone on another site was calling me a supporter of child killing so his remarks barely registered.

But because OLO keeps messages forever I feel I have to respond in case it appears I accept the comment to be true.

Probably a lot of us here feel the same way. We want the right to defend ourselves and get a bit shirty when it is taken away. Also DoCS reads this stuff and talk to me about it so I want a few things cleared up as I go.

Jinny don’t go all sookylala.

Thanks Lexi. Irked me some that this thread was thought of as me just stirring, I did just want a catch up although nothing much stops me pulling the odd chain as I go. Seems to be a theme here at the moment... must be some hidden agenda to find. [add twighlight zone music]

I am still missing something, is Severin and CJ gone now?

"Also DoCS reads this stuff and talk to me about it so I want a few things cleared up as I go."

Goodness, DoCS consult with you about OLO? Do they accompany you to Cyberia too?

Heh, heh, some say that wearing an upturned aluminium pie dish on the head can fix that problem.
