i notice that some of my very close friends here, who i respect the most, are the ones that i've had 'spats' with in the past.
i just try to keep in mind through this whole thing that this is a site for mental health, and that all of us have mental health issues, or we wouldn't be here.
is it really fair to try and run someone off. how would we feel if we were in that situation honestly? not trying to start a fight, i'm honestly trying to stay out of this mess... but, jsut something to think about. can't we forgive and just forget? try to jsut start over again? is that a viable option rather than throwing stones and turning someone away?
oh dear, maybe i've said too much.... jsut something to think about... i'm honestly willing to do that. i know i've opened my mouth often here and said (ok, not really said, but typed) things i wish i hadn't (maybe that's not the case, not speaking for anyone of course) but i hope people were willing to forgive me for it. can't we all do the same? i think we've done it for others, haven't we? why not this time? and why the smug smiles when someone leaves? anyone else feel a bit sad about this? i know i do....
go ahead, let me have it.. maybe this post will be what i'm talking about? as in talking too much and hoping for forgiveness? maybe not, but i'm still saying it since no one else is.....
one more thing though.. perhaps we could all learn something from the poster in question... we could learn civility. we could learn restraint. ew could learn about being challenged. we could learn a lot of things. why not? why are we so quick to try and bully? i'll admit i did it too. but, i'll also admit i need to learn form this.
ok, wincing as i hit submit :)
