FELICITY,
You have been hailed on several occasions as being one of the sharper tools in the AFF drawer. I just figured you knew me well enough by now.
The post in question where I asked why you would even care to post your thoughts and opinions was most definitely and positively TONGUE IN CHEEK. If you think I actually want you to stop posting your thoughts and opinions on this forum, then you really just don't understand me at ALL.
Why would a woman who has obviously been posting her very own thoughts and opinions on a regular basis fault another woman for posting hers???
You got caught in this deal because you posted a message that basically reiterated my own thoughts and received figurative pats on the head and a "Go Girl" from these Ultra Cons who had very recently decided to launch a Squash Dora compaign for posting similar material.
Until recently, you were considered an X'er - a nice X'er, but an X'er nonetheless. You posted pics of yourself showing obviously cut hair, earrings, etc. Do you understand that I fault you NOT regarding these things??? And whether or not you have decided to go back to your Old Landmarks and adhere more closely to your former standard of living due to your Holy Ghost convictions, it is your personal decision to make. Why on earth would I have a problem with that?
Nice begets nice...I'll try be nicer in the future and learn from your example. I remember you calling me a while back and saying something along the lines of trying to make your points in a kinder manner. It's a good principle to live by.
Here's where we may part ways, though. I can't see the usefulness of sweeping certain behaviors under the rug and just hoping no one notices the lumps. I will not stroke the egos of preachers just because they are preachers. If they are behaving badly, why make them feel as if they are on the right track when they are sadly way off??? I have lived around preachers my entire life and I know they are HUMAN BEINGS just like the rest of us. We all have our faults. I have mine (lots of 'em).
I think we fool ourselves when we think that covering our true feelings and placating those who offend us is ever going to make things change for the better. Perhaps challenging ourselves and others to face our deficits and working together to improve the situation would be more proactive and beneficial in the long run. Perhaps...maybe...ya never know.
Hope this makes sense....
Dora
