Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi -- Conga Rats! You are living my suggestion. Let it all out! Get rid of your frustrations! See how those " bad " words help you feel better? Actually, I mean this rather seriously. I understand exactly what you mean and I accept it. I hope that others will likewise understand people who express intense feelings, albeit unpleasantly. In this way, much of the unnecessary contention will disappear. By the way, , I have not intended in any way to attack you. You obviously are not one who pushes for limiting discussion. Your post is the poster child for free expression. I am not attacking the guideline. I am criticizing the mindset that many have on this board which can best be described as a penchant for limiting expression to that which they find personally meaningful. Damn, ! Do you really think that I'm an asshole? I mean, like that's pretty extreme. Flamed but still standing tall, Nick in Sage > > YES! For heaven's sake, people, be " nice " AND informative.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Nick, You're great but I'm sure only considers you an asshole because it seemed like you were persecuting her in your posts, when she was just trying to keep this list running. As she stated..she doesn't need this shit and I'd feel the same in her shoes *grins* Maybe when reads your post below clarifying the issue, she can put you in the " opinionated, outspoken and intelligent " category, instead of the normal 'asshole' category reserved for those that give us shit we don't deserve! (As for not categorizing people at all..I fear our tiny human minds probably couldn't take it!) *winks* Anita Pre-op-in Denver who votes for the good, the bad and the ugly about pre/post op issues > > > YES!
