> <<<[Foot in mouth] Is itpossible you're not a girlie? CRAP! Well, in the future, I'll try to be better about not making assumptions. I suppose I assume that since I'm a woman, maybe I'm talking to a woman. I thought you'd referred to yourself as a woman. Maybe not. I can't breath now, my foot is slowly moving further down my throat.... I'M SORRY :(
< I'm sorry I am a woman...so you were right, I was just being silly about being called a Girlie....

> <<<Hmmm... I'm tempted to check the civility codes here, but alas, I'm lazy.
<what does that mean? Did I break the civility code?
I guess I'll be warned if I potentially offend, but I don't think I'm going to write anything offensive (at least that is not my objective). I have little interaction with Larry. He appears to be extremely intelligent, though. I think (personally) what is lacking in his posts is emotion.
<I guess that's true.
>Whereas you seem to exude emotion.
<okay I'm embarassed my emotions are hanging out.
>So, when posting, he seems to be hypercritical of each word and its literal meaning. When Tabitha posted, possibly looking for support, he gave her his honest answer. Maybe it wasn't extremely helpful to her at the time. But it was his honest answer. But, is wasn't extremely supportive either. So, if you are looking for an honest answer, ask Larry. If you are looking for support, ask someone else, like Jai .
<you are so sweet.
>(Or follow your suggestion and write it out... "I'm looking for support please... Not an indepth look at how others view me or a list of my own character flaws..) That's the way I tend to look at it.

> Each person here tends to have a different role and personality. Take advantage of it. I'm sure it may just be the season, or the stress of the season. And it seems that everyone is miscommunicating.

<I know what you mean! *sigh*
> <<<I agree with that, they are both very good people. Why do you think that you must only support? Your view on things is just as valid as others. Just because somone doesn't agree, doesn't make it wrong.
<Wow what a progressive thought! I never thought of that. I guess I thought all we could really do was support.
>How many people on this board are you having conflicts with?
<no one else but Larry. Larry seems so huge....I really like him & he has a huge impact . Of course there where the other posters JadeT and Six who only posted when I was having my conflict with Larry.
>Take some time to think about the situation. It really isn't a big deal. Look back at some of the old posts, where you had a past conflict. Look at how many others supported you. You still have a large network of supporters. It is all about learning.
< I totally agree. It's all about learning...that's life for me.
You have always been informative and kind to me thank you for all your insite and help.
