Betty,

I assume you are referring to me. If you know me AT ALL, and have

read my posts throughout this past year or so, I rarely get involved

in the arguing that goes on, I don't like it. This last time, I got

involved because some things were said that were wrong. You can be

SURE I will not get involved ever again. I have no problem with you

naming names rather than you referring to me as another on the group

that feels she knows it all. If you are NOT referring to me, I

apologize. I think the regulars in this group know me enough to

understand where I was coming from and KNOW I don't usually interfer.

You do not know me. I am the last person who feels she knows

everything.....ONCE AGAIN I WAS GIVING MY OPINION. This is really a shame.

HI Betty,

Exacty.

There is another group, person, etc. that has been TOTALLY OVERBEARING on

this group.

It¹s offensive and harmful.

Enough is enough.

My vote:

There is a great temptation on groups, for the mommy-minded (no names,

no genders, and absolutely no hints as to who would fit that

epithet)to bring out managing behaviour JUST because other people are

arguing points instead of always opting for huggy-feely communions.

Arguing has more relevant and intellectually wholesome meanings in the

dictionary than the simplistic notion of ROWING.

I say the sort of attitude that no one should be allowed to raise

their voice in-case-it-disturbs the sensibilities of some other

individuals is unhealthy, and I note it has done a great dis-service

to the grown-up mentalities in many groups, whose capacity and choice

to handle the bare brunt of truths and make an intelligent, and

intelligible, way through their fields of interest with others of

mature mind, is hampered or killed off at the roots by expulsions to

appease those of more flimsy emotion.

The thing is surely tetchiness and bickering are the very signs of

being ill. Illness which is so often hidden, or in its initial phases

is not obvious, has a way of letting other mammals in its group

understand that something is wrong.

No one who posts here does so as a casual voyeur. And personally I

welcome the atmosphere of adult engagement which continues in this

group. Long may it do so.

I only dislike emotional blackmailers, which behaviour ought to have

no place amongst grown up and educated adults plying their empassioned

points of view.

Long may those capable of speaking their minds have a mind to speak them.

LOL

that's what I think too. I think the bitchiness is a sign of illness but god

forbid I should say that.

I wish there had been someone like me to help me way back when :)

No one rational would read your post and refer to you as a " know it

all " . Quite the opposite.

I think the poster had reference to the practice of " prescribing " the

every person on earth take the same thing that works for one's self.

Not a good idea IMHO.

NOT! " Know it all " is not a state of knowledge, but an attitude. And

What I meant was that someone who is a " know it all " is exhibiting a

negative attitude; and that you never do that. No one actually " knows

it all " ; but some people act as though they do. And act as though

everyone else should defer to their " superior " knowledge. As I said

before; not pretty. And something Venizia would IMHO never do.

And, yes; I meant it as a compliment. You display an attitude that IMHO

we all would do well to emulate.

Aah your're a sweetheart!!!! (not yelling) You made my day and

it did not start out too good.

I still gotta love this group.

All have a very restful, peaceful night....talk to you all soon.

Interesting choice of words 'not pretty'.

Think about what you are actually implying by that usage.

If it is not clear that I'm saying I do not find a particular [negative]

attitude attractive [while not specifically attributing it to anyone;

and more specifically NOT attributing it to the recipient of my post]

then perhaps I need to speak [type] in more simple terms. But as I try

[not always successfully] to be accurate in my communication that may be

difficult for me.

It is also probably clear to the more astute members of the group that

it is probably far more likely that I personally suffer from the

negative attitude that Venizia thought I was applying to her than that

she would suffer from that negative attitude. But it's a lot easier to

see negative traits in others than in myself.
