Geez. I readily admit that I am not perfect. But I also think I am not worthy of 5 or more HATE threads. People who are attacking me…have you actually READ my posts in Beth’s thread?? Did you happen to notice that some people did attack Beth and I was not one of them??? This is beyond ridiculous. Does it REALLY make you feel better to continue to crucify me?! I get the point that you don’t like me. Ok. Az was over it, but apparently, though I DID NOT attack Beth, he hates me again. It’s ridiculous and cruel. And I am quite disappointed in Rich for allowing it to continue. He’s not doing his job. I AM NOT the devil. Geez.

Richard and Kim, though I appreciate the intent (to diffuse tension, etc.) behind your superficial posts, they are not helpful. I am trying to get a message to people that they have gone way too far. I am beyond hurting. My attackers accomplished that days ago. When you take over meaningful threads and turn them into jokes, it doesn’t help. It hurts more. I really would appreciate it if the attacks would stop. I know you want to hurt me, but how much? It’s enough already. Az, you said you heard what happened to Beth. That implies that you didn’t read it for yourself, and to attack me so openly in your ode to Beth was an extremely insensitive thing to do. I have had enough. If you really want me to go away, please just stop attacking me. I am a person with feelings. You are really hurting me too much. I will keep saying it as long as I have to (or until Rich deletes my account, as threatened repeatedly). Please stop. Please.

Psst…I’ll post it in the chicken thread!

It is a shame that people will write things on a web site that they would never think of saying to a person’s face. I guess it’s the same sort of “safety” that people feel when they are in the car and shout obscenities, honk their horns, “salute” and do other rude things.
Jessie,
I’ve changed the content of my main thread, because the way I wrote it seemed more like an attack compared to the real purpose. It’s true that I don’t like you, but I don’t want to waste time writing about it.
Since you liked me a few weeks ago and I have not done anything worthy of dislike lately, I don’t understand. But it’s your right.
You’re OK, Jessie.
Sometimes you push people’s buttons and sometimes people push your buttons, but that’s just part of life. It can take a long time to figure out the best ways to handle that kind of stuff. (It’s been a lifelong project for me, and I’m about twice your age.)
I’m not much for getting drawn in by “Let’s you and him (or her) fight” kinds of hooks. There tend to be quite a few such hooks posted on this board (and on Internet boards in general) by various people, including you, but the squabbles are actually very mild compared to what people can get into. The Hatfields and McCoys carried on a murderous feud for generations, that started over a stray pig.
I would prefer to look for ways to give people positive strokes, even those who might try to get me worked up over something, and see if I can move the interaction away from conflict, even when my feelings have been hurt. Sometimes, by appreciating the person and trying to see their point of view, I can turn things around and get the person to think more favorably of me and stop sending out signals that tend to push my buttons.
Anyway, hang in there. You’re valued and appreciated.
Best wishes,
Jerry
P.S. I would also comment that the “hooks” people send out tend to be subtle and usually the person sending them doesn’t fully realize that they’ve said or done something that has some kind of little zinger in it that will likely push someone’s buttons. This is all just part of human nature and will never go away completely.
Jessie,
I didnt like you a few weeks ago, I was just letting you live your life. But I guess it’s the same with Ava as it is with you and Loren. Loren will always jump in to defend you because he likes you, and I didnt like the way you tried to put Ava down. It made me mad. Because you would be the FIRST person to jump the roof is someone would criticize your craft making or whatever. You should then understand that putting someone down like you tried to do isnt nice because YOU don’t want people to treat you like this. It drive me mad because I KNOW enough of you to know your real intent in your posts. I read all the posts by the way. Anyway, enough said for me.
I didn’t put her down.
The Devil is not JessieK,
Or Azalin, or Zoob.
But this fight did not start Friday,
With “so you made a tube.”
This pot’s been stewing quite a while.
Let’s take it off the grill,
And let the flame die down with style.
Let’s let the stewpot chill.

So where’s the chicken thread?
Jessie, why oh WHY did you post this thread? I don’t think you’re the devil, and neither does anybody else. No, not everybody likes you, but hey most people don’t like me much either. Does it really matter what a bunch of people who don’t even know you think about you? Seriously, I know people like to pick on you and they shouldn’t, but sometimes you really do bring it on yourself. If you don’t want to get shot, get off the range. I’m not saying you should leave the board (and I don’t think you should feel that you need to), but posting things like this will just get you more insults…
I hope this will all stop very soon. Everyone involved is sorry that it went this far already, goddamn ridiculous. I want Jessie to stay on this board, she’s got loads to offer, hell, if she slips her tongue now and then, jeez, she’s human, as are all of us! Can you all imagine the loss if she doesn’t post anymore, she’s really knowledgeable in all things whistle. She’s a feisty hot-headed girl, so? She regrets her mistakes, she’s apologized for her misshaps in the past. Let it be. And if she’s crazy sometimes in the future, hey, we’re all different, nobody is a bad person here.
I didn’t think I’d write this, but there you go. And that’s all I’ll ever contribute to this sorry thread.

I think you’re swell TelegramSam, and I don’t even know you…just a generalized warm fuzzy feeling I get when reading your posts…probably just because I like your username.

Jessie, maybe if you stopped posting ‘Leave me alone’ threads, people would leave you alone.
Just a thought.
“I am not the devil”
Seems like something you’d here George Bush saying right about now.
HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!

That sounds about right.
Try this:
-
When you see something on the board that raises your hackles, read it again to see if you might have misunderstood the intent.
-
When you respond, re-read your post to see if you could tone down what you’ve written while still getting the facts across.
No, you’re not the devil, not even close. Oh yeah … hyperbole is not a good way to make your point. See item 2.
