MONTANA TALK TO ME

Thank you Fox. I wish I could have said it just like this. I'm angry, so it's coming out in the same way, but with too much swearing. You have it right on the money.

Butrfly, I know you didn't mean to offend me, but I knew what I was doing and the only one here that seems to give me credit for that is Fox.

Everyone, I'm going to come back and respond to your posts when I've had more of a chance to cool off and I'll try my very best to explain why you can still care without having to make me look like an idiot.

I truly am not a stupid (and all that other stuff) woman.

I likes Fount's writing. We were in the political threads fighting together for peace and I liked talking with him. Now he's gone and I don't get to enjoy his writing any longer, nor will I have him standing beside me helping me fight for the lives of countless of innocent people.

Interesting that you think it was not for others to decide if the individual was worthy of Montana's sincerity yet you have no reluctance in deciding the same for others and their sincere concern for Montana.

Montana .... don't change who you are. It's obvious that some on here, would have handled things a little differently. But that's just it. We are all different in our actions and observations. Also, in the way we inject our thoughts onto others.

But ya know......the only thing that really matters is that you followed your heart. You stood up for someone. It doesn't matter one iota if they deserved it or not. Your heart said they did.

Just reach inside yourself and hang onto what matters......because again...the rest is just so small in comparison. And it's not worth the pain.

I, too, thought you were a little harsh Mame. There are softer ways of getting a point across. Especially when dealing with the soft-hearted. Sometimes, it's better to be silent, if you are going to come across mean spirited. That does not help at all. Really. Then, again ... sometimes written words can be felt in a harsher manner than they were intended. I will give you that.

(((( Montana )))) ..... have a beer. Roll all this bull crap off your shoulders, if ya can. If not......have another beer! Tommorow's a new day.

Ragman was not criticizing anybody's concern for Montana. He was criticizing others' presumption of knowing what was best for Montana better than Montana knew for herself.

I'm beginning to think that FOW was an evil fairy (pun intended) who descended here to spread discord and trouble among the peaceful regulars of A2K. It happens you know. I've read about it in books.

I'm guilty of nothing but plain speaking. You put it in a public forum, you're going to get all sides of things. As I said, I like Montana, and nobody who knows me, even here, will think I'll attack for no reason, and generally, I don't attack at all.

If I said these things to people with tougher skin, you'd think nothing of it. Yet because it's Montana, you're all over me. THAT's what she's talking about regarding being insulted. She doesn't need your defense. She and I have interacted over the past few years - she knows me as I always am. I spoke with good intent, not bad, and she should and maybe will tomorrow know that. It's just plain speaking. Nothing ill intended.

Anyway, this is my last word on this part of it. Think what you will, but if you're going to judge, judge over your history with me, not out of context on one thread.

To Green Witch, no, I think he is just somebody who enjoys a different kind of activity and banter on A2K than most do.

For the record, Montana and I are almost at opposite poles politically and disagree on how best to deal with a large number of social issues. But she and I, at least in the past, could disagree on a concept without demeaning or belittling or patronizing or being condescending to each other. (It has been awhile since we crossed swords about anything in particular.)

At the risk of (presumably again) getting into my lecture mode, I think that is a concept we all could learn to do better.

I like Mame, I like Montana.

(call both friends)

Brings to mind the old line, what is it?

Oh yeah, ...

much ado about nothing...

I doubt he's gone. That's part of his game. He gets in a huff and says he's leaving, letting us decide if it is just for the night or for good. He came back after seeing that you were willing to play his game with him. He again did the big farewell and said he was leaving. Now that you've signaled you wish it to continue, he'll be back.

You sure you're not Montana's twin separated at birth?

But yeah, a couple of beers.....or certainly three oughta do it.

Ya know.....one would almost have to be proud of that!
She's definitely a sweetheart.

Yes she is. As are you, Brooke, as are you.

Give it a rest, Mame.

Foxfyre: Correct. I appreciate your comment as it saves me having to retype. I find it odd that what I wrote could be misconstrued by anyone, but such is the dynamics with online communication. I did my best to state it clearly.

I like your fairies better than then ones with which I'm familiar.

Mame, if you're still around, wanna play a game of scramble on Facebook?

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Montana

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Montana

And Montana has stor-my eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Montana has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Great idea, BFN. Yes!

Tritto from me, and I must note that's the 2nd time I've ever agreed with you, Foxy.

****, I think I even agreed with Tico ... let me check ... yup, I do.
