Dear Suse,

It seems that things are getting somewhat out of hand.
I entered this discussion in good faith in response
to Hasbeen and tried to re-assure his concerns (and
those of others) regarding my health. Then things
turned nasty and mean. I never for a moment imagined
that this discussion would continue for this long.
I thought with my explanations that would be the end
of it.

I suppose that I should be extremely flattered that
I attract so much attention from some people.
We all tend to react to posts that are designed to
provoke. We shouldn't - but I guess it's human nature.

ttbn should have a read of his own comments on the
article thread - "Homophobia claims by same-sex marriage
advocates are bullying: Comments," by Gary Johns on
page 2. He needs to take his own advice!

"Trolls are a pesky obnoxious sort
They grunt and growl and drool and snort
They constantly look for a place to play
While setting their sights on their very next prey."

ttbn, did you see how Foxy gave us another quote on trolls? Very nice too.
Do you see yourself amongst those words?
Or do you think you are more like the other word we are all discussing?
If you can't take the heat, get out of the fire.

Foxy, it seems it never matters what subject we discuss, it always degenerates towards the end anyway! I just feel the need to address some of it at times, right or wrong as that may be...

cont'd ...

I forgot to add that I wish everyone a
very Happy Easter break and may we all
come back with joy in our hearts not hate.

Cheers.

You had 'disappeared'. Is that a regular event? That and the Fox chase with pleading for your return?

But fortunately help was at hand and I was able to reassure posters,

If you check the 'Users Online' you will see that the said poster is presently online and was also online soon after your OP. For example,

Obvious to anyone from the main board that opens automatically.

Which was followed tout suite by Fox's arrival. Gosh!

Not asking for any thanks though, but that is OK. No good deed ever goes unpunished on OLO.

There once was a troll from Australia
Who felt insecure and a failure
So he went on the net
To the forum (you bet)
where he could spend all his nasty regalia.

Hi there TTBN...

Come on ol' man you're better then that? As you're probably aware, I generally disagree with much of FOXY'S politics, as well as some of her philosophical perspectives, but as an individual, she's a delightful person with a pretty good heart, as you're a equally good bloke! Considering some of the maggots and slugs I've had to deal with most of my life, you're all 'Angels' on this Site!

Furthermore, much of what you write and extrapolate your creditable point of view on, I don't have any quarrel with myself. So really this Forum is merely a vehicle for all of us hereon, to ventilate and debate our widely disparate opinions on all manner of subject matter. After all, it's not a case that we're betting huge 'Sheep Stations' on the outcome of our arguments, or anything quite so serious, it's all just a bit of fun, nothing else !
