uhm, nope.

....on an internet forum like this one. Ever done it? Ever lost your mind completely and decided it might be loads of fun to verbally gun down just about everyone in your immediate cyber vicinity?

I'm thinking about it. I shouldn't be thinking about it.

I could always blame it on that old black dog.

Or you could just whisper something dirty in my ear and forget all about it

It probably isn't, and it probably causes regret or remorse. So I won't do it.

The number of posts that I have typed, only to delete before sending, I cannot count !

Occasionally the Viking Warrior lashes out with his sword and demands heads on pikes or Professors be thrown from Ivory Tower windows. Very occasionally I get so angry and dismayed that even my friends here - who are very patient with me - get an earful of invective.

I apologise to them all.

But Tera, my dear, I know what you mean !

This dude on youtube has a whole bunch of guns, like a collection. I'd hate to see what he'd do when he gets angry and dismayed.

Tera, from time to time people say mean and hurtful things that they really don't mean depending on their mood.

I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for myself. Overall, I don't think any differently of you than I did before because of something you've said one time or another when you were pissed. I don't think that someone should be judged based on action that they commit at one time or another when overall they're a decent person.

I guess I'll put this in terms that aren't confusing to ya, Popa still loves ya

O.k. now I really do feel bad...lol

Thanks, Popadibs. And watch those hands, mister.

You delete lots of posts before you hit the "submit reply" button, too? I do it all the time. I admit, I get frustrated often and I actually do try to restrain my inappropriate responses more than it actually appears.

I'm sorry to those who got side-swiped by bullets not meant to be aimed in your direction. I'm sorry to some I actually purposefully took aim at. Some were deserving, some not.

It might be getting close to a time for me to take a break. I don't do that often enough. I suppose it is necessary now and then in order to keep from becoming that which I despise.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad.

I know sometimes the way I speak puts people off. Sometimes it's how I word things. I'm not sure that I word things exactly how I think because perhaps I don't always articulate my thoughts perfectly.

I also realize that you, like many of us, are going thru some hard times and because of the stress and anxiety it's easy for you to feel overwhelmed at times and sometimes this isn't the best place to be when one is stressed.

I know I'm not without my imperfections and everyone isn't going to agree with me or even understand me but if nothing else I suppose people can understand that I intend to do good, it's just that everyone has a different opinion of what good is, I suppose.

I can empathize with most of what you are saying here. I often find it difficult to articulate exactly what I am thinking without being misunderstood by others. I also have moments where I misunderstand other people.

I know you mean well and that you are a good person, Popadibs. Most people here really are- even Zuberi, who tends to say things that infuriate me. I know that for the most part he is probably completely unaware that he's doing that.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

It's cool Tera and I'm not hurt. I've already forgiven you but I just hope things get better for you, I, and us all.

No, I have not....but I've seen it happen and it's seldom pretty. I think the following's VERY fitting (hat tip to Dad Savage).

As a forum participant Jekyll and Hyde always plays by the rules and is consistently cordial and helpful – a model netizen, until one day he comes completely uncorked and lashes out without warning. His unanticipated thunderbolts can temporarily rout even the sturdiest Warriors, and it often takes some time for his stunned opponents to mount a counter attack. Jekyll and Hyde’s sudden behavioral change may result from a psychotic episode, PMS, a downturn in the market, a surprise visit by the in-laws – or a session of hard drinking...

Dear Tera

stop trying to reconcile the claptrap which is feminitism to reality - it is like trying to square the circle - a total exercise in futility

this decision will relieve your mind of unecessary stress a bit like stopping chasing the goose around the barnyard
