Re: Re: Dah Dah di Dah Dah

[Guest guest]

I'm stunned by your comment, Debbie.

I do not take ownership in your depiction of me as a bully because I think

it is inaccurate. I recognize that it is your perception, but I don't know

how to respond other than to just let it go.

Please feel free to contact me privately if you wish to talk about this

further.

Best,

Helena

P.S. A simular situation came up before where several people thought

critical remarks were directed at them. It just goes to show how sensitive

we all are and so willing to take on the blame.

Re: Dah Dah di Dah Dah

Is it not time that you went & buried that bone Helena??? or do you like others to feel bullied as well???

I really have to be careful with it, though, or people are offended, even though I would not be. And it is so easy to be misunderstood when using the most simple words: I once said online that I had hooked up with someone, and was dismayed when I got a flurry of responses indicating that they thought I had sex with the person. I didn't know it meant that!
