Well, well, well...I can certainly think of dozen of emails or posts to which I'd rather be replying :( but monitoring the playground is my job.
You know what, lady, do you what you want. I've provided a ton of humor for the people on this board...you guys are always spewing these pointless platitudes about "gee, laughter really IS the best medicine," etc.,
You know what, Matthew, I can't do what I want...because what I want is to *poof* -- cause you able to recognize heart-felt caring & concern when it's extended to you; and *poof* -- cause you to understand the impact of your words and extend respect to others. It doesn't matter what 'humor' you've occasionally provided in the past, what matters is that you've offended people frequently (I have more than a handful of email complaints). And it matters that you continue to do it, and somehow justify it as 'humor'. But it's not funny when you say things that have the potential to, or do, hurt others...especially people that are already compromised.
I've already been told by Rocky (and via phone by another), that if they had been a first time poster like thundervortex, taken the time to compose and post such a wonderful testimony, and then read this: you guys...all need a community college journalism class on how to write shorter.;-P (even with your "tongue sticking out" at the end), that they would have felt criticized & humiliated and never posted again. Nobody deserves to be criticized publicly (laughingly or otherwise) for their writing style. Healing & sharing/supporting others on an internet forum isn't a 'writing style' taught in any college. We're not journalists here.
You accused me of pestering Miss Helfinger, when in reality I've asked her how she was doing probably three times in a month. I don't know how "How are you?" can be offensive, but you've certainly tried to couch it like that.
Reality check...you posted to Miss H:I am most angry that you have deserted ME! ME! Ha. How are you?
I responded: Thirdly, you didn't just publicly "HA accuse" Miss H (who you KNOW has adrenal issues herself, cares about you deeply (far more than I think you deserve, honestly), and is so soft-hearted that you could crush with a feather...of deserting you? When you K-N-O-W know that she's doing the IP full-time and can't possibly be helping you personally? ...which had nothing to do with you saying "how are you" and me "couching " anything. It had to do with you saying something that had the potential to negatively impact someone's healing and/or emotions. I expect everyone posting on this forum to be respectful enough, mature enough and educated enough to restrain themselves from hurting or offending other posters.
You're really nasty and have the disposition and delivery of a rabid, wet water rat. All the histrionics (sigh being among them), condescending emoticons and BS...then you sign it with some screwy tag.
Well, whew, this thread will turn out to be a great 'award turning point' for you because now you'll never-ever again have to have your adrenals whacked , experience negative emotions here , and/or be offended about my (or anyone elses) posting style again! YAY!!!
I'm sorry that you feel that me offering my sincere & heartfelt blessings when I close my posts is "some screwy tag" ...and that my :::sighs::: are some sort of histrionics that are meant to express anything more than a simple exhale of weariness or frustration.
I also find it amusing that you would think your opinion of my posting style & sincerity, presented the way you presented it, would be of any signficance to me.
******
It must be very difficult to 'live in a place' where sincerity and true caring is mistaken for something else...and then transformed into something you feel you need to ridicule.
I realize, of course, that this is very likely a symptom of your physical & emotional illness (NPD father, adrenal distress). But I can't allow you to hurt other people. And as far as the NPD issues, the fact is (when it comes to any 'parent/outside induced emotional response')...if we're mature enough to recognize it for what it is, we're mature enough to stop repeating it. Of course, it may not have anything at all to do with your adrenals or NPD...it might just be uncontrolled emotions and egoic ugliness.
I'm not going to push the 'ban button' without giving you a chance to apologize or respond in whatever way you'd like...but I am going to push it around this time tomorrow, no matter what you've posted (or haven't). This forum IS going to be a place where people can find a 'haven of healing' and be safe from other posters being rude or disrespectful to them....and you've proven more than once you won't/can't restrain yourself to stay within those parameters (burned once, shame on you...burned twice? shame on me).
This is my second run-in with you, and this time I'm more clear headed.
"Clear headed"...hmmm, is that how you perceive it? I perceive it more like: "Aaaah Daniel-son, you all wet behind the ears!"
What it really boils down to, I think, is that I don't follow your schpiel and you think I'm a hell-raising heathen because I take Vitamin C.Matthew,your thinking is incorrect. As far as the human body, of course I care that anyone would be ingesting substances that trash their body/adrenals, while taking isolated substances to 'band-aid' the symptoms. But as far as you personally, you have every right to do to your body whatever you want. I'm not offended by your choices - they're not even mine to be offended about.
My "schpiel" is not mine - it's fundamentally the amalgamated works of three great healers. Sure, it's a bit 'trying' to have spent a lot of time doing my best to help you and have you not utilize the information I've offered...but that's happened hundreds of times before, and it's going to happen thousands more. I was all-done 'reacting' to that issue long ago.
Ahhh nevermind...blow it out your ass. As you wish...
