(sorry . this expendible machine apparntly delivers only part of my posts... here is the rest of the story...
> >..............I don't recall a lot of statements from you that announce your feelings...
They are there. But I don't recall a lot of what I read on pbabble either. Some respondants seem to only recall the parts of my contributions with which they disagree (not neccessarily you, shar). I have actually related quite a lot about myself here, apparently far more than some can accept.
> You already know what responses you will get....
You presume a lot. Poeple who deal with the pain of living the way I do seem to be the minority here. That seems to repeatedly suprise me. It is not this way everywhere I go.
> If you don't want people to respond, you might consider saying so.
I am more accustomed to confronting the rigours of open dialogue, maintaining my stance and wading through temporary conflicts that arise out of diversity.
> This world was never meant ... (for such as I)
> >..........probably true for you and the other 90 million sincere, concerned, intense, iconoclastic people who endure.Yes. Many of us 6 billion are slowly moving toward greater appreciation of minority viewpoints, though. There are actually only less than .9 million such as I though (lol).
>...caring sentiments from people who don't want you to die. That must be the ultimate annoyance.
Indeed. I will die someday.
> >.......By the way, I encourage you not to take your own life.
Why? I have already taken it, to do with as I choose. (First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin!)
I appreciate concern about the value of my life, Just As I Am, more so than concern about the manner of my death.
