Ooops…I was trying to delete this whole thread because I realized that it wasn’t nice and wasn’t productive, but it deleted my first post only. I don’t know how to fix it. Here was my fist post:
I have noticed that Bill likes to attack people who are in the midst of a (sometimes tiny) conflict with someone else (edit: thereby turning something small into something bigger) and put a giant smilie face in there to avoid heat. He tells me that he receives support for his behavior. So please tell me, who thinks it’s helpful?
Perhaps if Rich or Dale notices, the thread could be deleted.
Thanks for your input. Through kindness and logic, you guys have shown me that I was being unfair.

I wish Loren were around. Yeah, he uses harsh language, but he and I usually agree about other stuff, like who deserves to get picked on

No one. Not now, not ever.

and who deserves to be defended.

Jessie: Thanks for your last two [EDIT: three, actually. LOL] posts. I think it’s much better that they and the whole thread stay up than that it is deleted by Rich or Dale.
Best,

Marguerite, I was the abused girl in school, too.

Sorry, guys.
No prob. At least you admit it wasn’t the most prudent thing.
But, people who “deserve” to be picked on, and “deserve” to be defended? If you take that sort of approach, you will always find someone to be sniping at.

Hmm…just trying to piss people off? Or did the cat pee in your cornflakes this morning?
I have yet to find anyone I dislike on the board. Some are caustic, some are helpful, all have different views. Sniping at everyone around that doesn’t agree with you doesn’t accomplish anything except degrade your image.
Sure, serpent can be irritating. So can Loren. So can you. So can I. If you don’t like it, don’t read someone’s posts.
I’m not saying that interaction with other people doesn’t matter, what I’m trying to do is to get you to not let people living miles away get under your skin. The emotional stryfe really ISN’T worth getting your knickers in a knot. People write lots of stupid crap on message boards that they normally wouldn’t have the balls to say in a face-to-face discussion anyhow. Most of it’s just a sort of knee-jerk reaction. If all else fails, just don’t read the posts of people who habitually tick you off if that’s what it comes to.
Oh, and I was tormented in school too. Especially on the school bus, when the whole lot of them ganged up on me. Children are cruel, and anybody who claims that kids are innocent is either full of it or has a very bad memory…
“I think Cooperman whistles are the finest made whistles in the world”
I deserve to be picked on, at, around, and under.
(Just in case the maker of Cooperman whistles is lurking and taking offense…Oh nevermind, would it kill ya to put the fipple up against a belt sander for a couple seconds!)
Oh - and what I really need to learn is to stay away from the board for about three particular days each month. Say what you will about the validity of that, but there you have it.

Heh…more true than a lot of people believe. I am the only (dancing) male in an Irish Dance troupe, with about 11 girls. God help us all when they “synch”!!!
What we really need are people to stop posting in this not-so-pleasant thread so that it can forever disappear into the deep, grey haze of the ether reaches of the chiffy megacosm…
