Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Susan, I can appreciate what you're saying. And I can appreciate dw's being upset on your behalf. However.
A) I was not coming at you with "tough love". I was coming at you from one mom to another.
B) I don't appreciate being spoken to the way your husband just spoke to everyone in this thread. I tried very hard yesterday to kkep my swearing to a minimum. I also thought that this was made up and settled. If not, fine. NO ONE in this thread deserves to be spoken to like that for ANY REASON. And you darn well know it.

All I know is what it felt like on the receiving end.

I agree, but I don't think this is one of those cases where I should speak for him.

Well, I can't help what you felt and/or feel. I apologized for my tone yesterday. I can't do anymore than that.

Fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's not even a question of "deserves," it's a question of official board policy against personal attacks. I see the original post was deleted, but I still think an apology is in order.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Looks at thread title. Ummm, yeah.

If I only had a brain...
(What generally seems to work is being requested to take a few deep breaths, and once I've calmed down, appeals to logic. A still, small voice in the storm sort of thing.)
I speak for myself, not for Aimee, or the thread.
What frustrates me is that, from my point of the transaction, nothing seems to work. We have a pattern going here. You show up very upset. We say "You're overreacting for the following factual and/or experience-based reasons." You say that the reasons you are upset are completely valid. Then you say that we are overreacting and making you feel piled-on. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I don't feel that anything I say is having any effect. Most of the time I bite my tongue.

Jessica, I completely agree.
And I agree completely with Betsy as well.

Always Anti-fascist!
So you want hairpatting or nothing? That does not sound like conversation. That sounds like spin, and personally would drive me up a tree, but I can respect it, I suppose. But my burning question...am I a fuckhead? Because I feel like I've been called a fuckhead and told to go somewhere else with a dry climate and I don't really appreciate it. If that's alright with you, of course.
