Re: To the elephant with the tailight person, from C.

[Guest guest]

Sometimes it is hard to convey what one means in e-mail or message

boards because you can not read tone or faicial gestures. there is

nothing wrong with suggesting a person call their doctor, however

what is said and how it is said are two diffrent things. To

discourage a person from posting on the board is not appropriete. To

encourage a person to call their doctor is the correct thing to do

but adding on the bit about not posting it on the board---well thats

a differnt matter. How are you to know that someone else doesn't have

that same problem. all that needed to be said was " hey, thats

something that sounds rather odd you need to call your DR right away "

and thats it.

Do with your time as you wish it is not up to me how you spend it.

How kind of you to instruct me.

I have only made my living by writing for about 30 years, and

conveying the ideas and the emotions therein. But nobody has a

monopoly on approaches, and perhaps I should be more silent or

restrained. In any case, I do not wish to have a dispute with you.

But I welcome your advice. I do understand now why your online name

is " elephant, " although I don't perhaps understand the whimsical (or

so it seems to me, lest I offend you again) taillight.

I shall try to keep all of that in mind in the future and be a better

citizen. And one who is more " correct. " (I loathe those who must feel

themselves " correct, " for the record.)

" Do with your time as you wish it is not up to me how you spend it. "

Thank you so kindly for the benediction blessed with bile.

You would not like to know how I have spent most of my time for the

last three days.

I hereby leave the field of battle, carried off on my shield, or

whatever; there are more important things to talk about than whether

we two can get along, although I regret that you apparently feel some

animosity here. I will also try to be more " appropriate " (I think

maybe you need a new dictionary to suggest how to spell) in the

future. (An admitted Grrr, there.)

Have fun, honey... Glad you understand the universe; sory my

comprehension is not so complete as yours.

Liz, you need to give it a rest. Three years from now, if you've

been as consistent and helpful a contributor as Cammie, you may be

justified in copping an attitude. But you're simply coming across as

someone who doesn't know what she's talking about, complaining about

a problem that doesn't exist, allegedly committed by someone who's

actions for the past several years on this board have been beyond

reproach.

I thought Cammie's original reply was spot-on, and I would've made

the exact same reply if she hadn't beaten me to it. The only person

you're hurting in this thread is yourself, as I and others who like

and respect Cammie will be unlikely to respond to real questions

from you in the future.

Not to drag on a pointless " argument " , but I think someone needs to

stand up for Liz, since she is the one being personally attacked on

this board. I mean, you guys are making it sound like she commited

an atrocity, when in fact, she was making a relatively benign

comment. I think all it was (is) boils down to is a minor

misunderstanding, that so often times goes hand-in-hand with e-

communication. I don't think she was in any way personally attacking

Cammie, just saying that the initial comment that spawned this all,

could have been taken as a blunt way of saying, " Don't post. " I

just don't think it's fair to judge her personal integrity or

character. Making such raw personal shots at someone over something

so minor seems unfair and extremely juvenile.

Respectfully,

I have to chime in on this one!!!

Cammie, I may not always agree with what you say (though generally

your advise is pretty sound!) but I will defend to my death your

right to say it!!

This is a free country and a free speech forum. If for some reason

(unless it is dangerous and stupid) you don't agree with something I

do not believe you should criticize or attack the author of the

opposing opinion.

this is my humble opinion take it or leave it.
