Berated is not a feeling, it is an accusation that I am berating you. That is not true. Please do not use feeling language to conceal accusations against others. I feel hurt and dismayed and misunderstood.

> Yeah, me too, if it's any consolation. Not that it would be. Better if there were no beratees (word?? it is now ;-) )to commiserate.

> How about no one berates anyone, and if they do (after all, we **all** slip up, lose our tempers, etc.), they are firmly reminded to swerve back on the road and follow the signs by Dr. Bob? Oh, wait, we've been there and done that and apparently that is deemed a lousy model.

> I like Lou as well. I will never forget him offering to shelter people after Hurricane Katrina. Or having fun on Social with music. Or trying to open his Little Shoppe way back when... I also think he deeply believes in what he does here. To me, that's divorced from his behavioral choices. No community can endorse repeated violations of accepted rules just because someone says, "...but I really, really, really am trying to help you by accusing and putting down." It's nonsensical to me.

> I wonder how people (usually of color) whose ancestors actually were victims of real lynching feel about this sort of hyberbole? Such a horrific thing to invoke... In my "self-righteousness," I asked and still ask for accusations against deputies and others to stop. Is that equal to whipping up a mob to pursue murder against a person whose skin color differs from mine? I guess now it's implied I'm not only an anti-semite and fosterer of such, but a violent racist, too.

> Is HC a person of color? Is HC a hurting woman or man? If HC isn't a psycho and doesn't Babble, what was the attraction to PB the first time? Does HC want to hang out here in peace and harmony and get to know more posters? Is is possible HC jumps to conclusions about other posters' values?Is it possible that you do?

> I think all cygnets I've ever seen are adorable, and even if someone said they were "homely" I probably wouldn't agree, at least not if that is supposed to a a "bad" thing. Most newborn babies are homely - and my reaction is: so what?
10der 10der 10der It's just a play on the ugly duckling who grew up to be a swan? I'm the ugly cygnet who grows up to be a duck? I assure you no cygnets were insulted in the making of the post.

Duckling I listen and for many a time I have been half in love and many a time much more
