FindingNamo, allow me to quote a very wise man.
"Listen. There ain't much of difference...between a bridge and a wall.
Without me in the middle, babe, you would be NOTHING at all.
Enemies and adversaries...they try to tear me down.
You want me, babe, I dare you. Try and tear me down."
It's not you. Never think it's you. Some here have a problem dealing with opposing ideas and values. Yes, for a board that seems predominantly so liberal some really seem to have a problem with an alternative viewpoint. They're challenged by ideas. There seems a group think mentality that some seem comfortable with. Strive for even. Embrace. Cling to. Or are some just so thin skinned they can't deal with or accept or even listen to values or opinions different than theirs? Very strange, I say. How do they real with the real world? Not very well, I think.
But it's the emotionally manipulative games some enjoy playing on this board that I find so loathsome. Some cry and play "victim" all the while relishing in their new found attention. Some seem to feel it's acceptable to take a swipe at someone and not be held accountable, foolishly thinking their acts, their words, have no consequences. And why is this?
Because they then employ a mechanism to run and cry to anyone who will listen. They "play" the victim. They manipulate. They contrive. They machinate until someone acquiesces to their whims.
I find these to be some of the most deplorable of creatures for I've know real victims. I've had real victims cry on my shoulder. I've attempted to comfort people who have actually be victimized. I've known first hand their loss. I've know people who have actually have been physically, emotionally, and mentally attacked and scarred.
I have no tolerance....ZERO...for someone wanting play victim and to blame others for the results of their actions.
I don't have room in my life for pretenders. And I have even less room for adults who choose to act like toddlers. Grow a backbone, or at least have the strength and conviction to stand by your own words.
Rest in peace, Iflitifloat.
Just be careful with him and return him when you're done.
