I don't think that Linda realizes how she affects people when she goes off, for example, calling Bill Ryan a dickhead.
It's coarse, and it moves the energy from the discussion of the content, the information, to name calling.
It's an uncool derivative.
Maybe we need to make another thread to discuss it like adults, without calling people names.
Let's upgrade our vocabulary and still allow people express their deepest emotions about the subject.
Edit yourself and you will have greater power of communication.
You started what could be a great discussion...it's how you do it that counts. Peace.
There's a lot of change happening, and we are fighting amongst ourselves and losing great members over language.
Which is where it all started. Language analysis.
Linda, I agree that the language we use is so important.
I am so sorry for the confusion in my post to Carol on page 35 and have now edited it.
I should have been more clear about who said what and thank you for pointing that out to me.
I do not ever want to create hurtful feelings between anyone and just want to carry on without the vicious insults and
double standards....
but it wasn't me who called Bill Ryan a dickhead.Here is the
edited part only as I didn't want to post the entire post that I sincerely wrote to Carol merely trying to explain what I have observed on this thread to be unfair treatment.
Peace.
EDIT: If people wonder why my signature has some of those ugly things that have been said to me in this thread ........it's to hopefully notice if any of them are yours and to perhaps upgrade our language like LindaBaker has suggested.
Blessings.
EDITED:
Why do I stay despite all the negative, hurtful attacks?Because the story is not over yet and there is still more investigating to do about this case and questions that must be answered.
It's not just me reporting, there are plenty of people who don't want this swept under the rug judging from the interest on the internet, including Jeff Rense and Bill Ryan who came forward.
I know you have other threads on this forum about your own personal negative experiences with personalities and forums and I can understand you being upset..
But, let's put the shoe on the other foot.....what if Bill Ryan was my friend and I was offended by the things you have said about him?
Should I keep telling you over and over again how I object when I see you posting things about 'my friends' like when you posted the below:
"I did observe Bill as covert and a liar. I just don't and wouldn't trust him again.'
or when you said this about other people:
"He is unethical, hypocritical claiming to be love and light all the while abusing his position, abusing the members by referring to them as toilet remnants"
"His ego is so inflated it is a wonder he can function.he deserves every bit of misery"
"I was the one who just got banned there for what was written here and no longer have access to friends there... so yes, sour grapes and pissed off for being truncated yet again
by someone who is so petty it bears repeating. The point is that I didn't get a chance to say good-bye.
I don't give a rats as.s about what dickhead thinks but I do care about other connections."
--------------------------------------------------
Carol, so it's OK for you to say the above negative things about a person and it also bears repeating?
As you can see in this thread, even when people have viciously attacked me with foul language, I have never turned around and called them a 'dickhead' or say that they deserve misery. I don't use that kind of language, even to those that I disagree with, yet you paint me as one who has anger issues....
Not trying to stir anything up, I am just trying to POINT out that there is a double standard going on here.
Am I the only one who could this see this?I will say once again, that I am not a child and don't need to be 'corrected', 'reminded' or 'advised' on what I should post or not post, especially if I had 'personal' experiences......just like you have.
We all 'express' ourselves in different ways.
On a good note, here is one of your posts that I admired because hopefully it would help others understand that we all have different roles based on our own research, experiences and tolerances on which battles we choose.......................
