When i fail, but being human, i sometimes fail, please forgive me, to keep my post words, i do try to keep them about my thoughts, my opinions, and not to assign thoughts and opinions to others. i do not assume that other need me to save them, and i do not expect others to rush to my defense. i think most of us here are adults, and unless repeatedly provoked, will behave like such. i try to be charitable to those who, when repeated provoked, become irate. i avoid all contact that i can with people who i think are acting to provoke conflict. I look for the best in people, and have found here, the best i could hope to find, in more people than i could have ever hoped for. my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Re: a personal statement #65121 04/10/2002 10:28 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 Blessed are the peacemakers I will rejoice if the board can get back to discussion of words and language, and the board be limited to celebration there of.
