Sad to see you go Mama.
I wish you all the best, truly I do.
Of course not! Never!
I myself, am a mineral.

Hey there, Momma.
If you can stand to read one more piece of advice after all this, here it is.
You are waaaaaaaay too nice to be on the Spirituality & Religion threads. Take it from one who knows.
Frank Apisa very nearly caused me to leave A2K shortly after I signed on, after baiting me mercilessly on those threads. I couldn't stand him. Took me two years to find out he was actually a (fairly) decent but irascible fellow who did it to everyone. I thought it was just me! Silly me!
Anyway, what I learned from our exchange was that I was not an adequate debator (for this forum), and in fact, I was really not interested in debate at all. I don't even enjoy reading them. So I stick to what I do enjoy around here. Which, as dlowan has told you, most often happens in General.
Please join us. I'm about to reopen the "Eva's Wine Cellar" thread. It's a place where you can always find a soft shoulder or two, good food, great laughs...and no debating allowed.
I'll save you a seat.
{{{smooch}}}
Momma I wish you wouldn't go. But I will respect whatever decision you make. It does sadden me a little to see the lack of compassion people can sometimes show. Though I'm sad to report that I've done my share of this too. You know as I read through all of this I realized a few things. I know that to some this is merely a forum, a place to have it out with people, and maybe even let out a few aggressions that are building up inside, and that's ok. Everyone needs an outlet.
For some though this is a life source. I know that might be hard for some to understand, but please try... It's contact with people they wouldn't normally be able to have contact with. It's a way to be surrounded by others and take the edge off of being alone, because they really are alone in their life. As I thought about this I realized how much richer my life has become talking with all of you. I know it sounds silly but it's true. Being here has challenged me in many ways. LOL and I'VE only been here... what three weeks now? It's caused me to see things in perspectives I never would have thought about before. It's helped me to grow as a person.
Our lives are what we make it. We can take what we've got and run with it, learn from it, and grow from it. Or we can take it, use it, abuse it, and throw it away when we are done. The choice is up to you and you alone.

Thank heavens.
Humans make me come out in lumps.
General is weird but fun.

Oh, pardon, me. I guess I have to blindly support everyone no matter what they do or say.
Well, if you did not come to support you came to gloat or cajole. Your appearance, therefore becomes suspect. Of course, you have the right to be here regardless of your motive.
Your logic is false. My motive is to express my opinion.

With your disposition you are doomed period IMO
This is a very childish post. You're not really one to tolerate diversity of ideas, are you?

I tolerate diversity fine. I don't have a high tolerance for churlish bullies though.

This is not any kind of valid argument. You cannot read my mind. If your only objection to my original post has been reduced to the absurd statement that my motive for making it is unworthy, based only on your psychic reading of my mind, I think you are not worth responding to further. Your original assertion that I had sinned by not supporting her is simply baloney. I don't have to offer blind support.

No, my behavior has never been different from any number of the liberals here. It is
you who typically insert posts of gratuitous personal insults, not accompanied by any relevant debate, into otherwise rational, on topic debates. The truth is that you have no tolerance for diversity of ideas.

Only an arrogant dick would make such a presumption. Be careful, people might get the wrong idea about you. :wink:

I think I will reserve my future responses for people who wish to discuss the thread topic in a civil way. See ya.
How is a thread in which MOAN, most likely in a disingenuous spirit, claims she is leaving for good, bye-bye, don't try to stop me, no, it's true, i'm really going this time . . .
. . . a venue for ". . . otherwise rational, on topic debates."
Only in the mind of Brandon, one assumes, as he pursues his "is so/is not" exchange with Intrepid . . .
