I dont think you quite take the whole train wreck thing seriously gabbi.
Any follow ups to this, you can read my message at the bottom of the page.
I'm not posting on this 'admin' board anymore, so please dont reply to this message to tempt me further.
Great tag-team by the way, you make a fine pair!
Thanks

you are not by any means referring to the bombings in London in any manner are you? i mean you of all people would have no reason to HIDE behind a remark such as "i think youre the bomb" when how ironically, Nickengland and the babbler that you are referring to had a disagreement would you? of course not-that would be against admin. rules now wouldn't it. I HOPE THAT NO PERSON ON THIS SITE WOULD EVER BE DISTASTEFUL ENOUGH TO TRY AND HURT ANYONE WITH A REMARK ABOUT TERRORISM-whether open about it or in a cowardly remark!....and i hope that Dr.Bob looks at your timing w/ that remark and see's it for what it is...a way to try and go between the lines and say something that horrible. Dr.Bob-block me if u must but pls. take a look at the above.

I use that expression all the time, it's a standard sign off to Crushed, but I apologize I wasn't thinking, and it was bad timing.
I would not make fun of tragedy, and though I can see how it looked to you, perhaps you just could have asked?

I do not blame you one bit for being upset. I lived through 9/11 here in the states but please do not allow certain babblers to hurt you. Look at the source of the remark. I agree-do not even respond to this kind of "support" any longer as neither will i. There are people here that we can do good for so let's use that. Take care and my prayers are with you.

I think her comment "consider the source" could lead gabbi to feel put down. It seems to imply something negative about gabbi, don't you agree?
I'd ask wildcard myself but she's asked me not to post to her, presumably because she doesn't like my questions? (I tried to work it out instead of "running to the teacher," by asking what she meant, but...oh well. It didn't work.)
> exactly what it states.

Though I can't agree with Wildcards assessment of my intention, or my character, I'll apologize again for how that came across.
I'd intended to apologize after Crushed pointed out to me in A Babblemail how it looked, but Wildcard had already posted about it.It's a common expression, I use it frequently, and well it's not my first experience with mind bogglingly stupid things coming out of my mouth..or across my monitor.

i definitely didn't think you did it intentionally, gabbi. i thought you were just trying to make me feel better in case i was feeling attacked.

I'm glad if it didn't, gabbi! (did it?)regardless, i think it's important to stay civil. some people have thick skins, but that's no reason to have lower standards for posts directed at those people. wouldn't you agree?

Noooooo.. actually I think it was one of those self defeating comments.> regardless, i think it's important to stay civil. some people have thick skins, but that's no reason to have lower standards for posts directed at those people. wouldn't you agree?
Yes. I do.
I agree with everything you say, always, all the time..
I'm kidding, of course I agree.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding getting married and stuff to Psycho-Babble Relationships. Here's a link:

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

Hello Dr. Bob
Interesting PBC, that said I understand the concept, whilst also knowing the dangers and uncivilness of a terrerist bomb.
The overall goal is peace though, so in this circumstance, sorry if anyone felt accused.
Kind regards
Nick

You know Nick, I think that was unfair.
I've been a victim of violence, more times than I care to remember, I often hear common expressions that indirectly refer to it.
"I could just strangle her" is one.
And though I don't think it's necessarily good to become immured to the actual meaning behind what we say casually, there's a difference between pointing it out how it can affect someone, and assuming the intent was to be hurtful, or that the person saying it takes tragedy casually.
What I had said was that I'd heard the admin board referred to as a train wreck before, and a car accident, (People often say that "it's like a car accident, so horrible, but you can't take your eyes off it"
but I'd not heard a reaction like I had yours. It's true I had not.I think inferring from that, that I don't take human tragedy seriously, even when it isn't close to home, (when in fact it leaves me more shaken than others I know) well.. it was quite a stretch, and it was wrong.

I thought you blocked yourself? Nevermind.
The world goes round in circles, cycles, everything seems to go round in circles, in some way or another, even down the cycle of mental illness, seasonal affective disorder, bipolar disorder etc.
I wish I could break some cycles, because like the cycle of the illness I suffer from, it really gets me down every now and then.

You think inferring.....and it (me) was wrong.
Someone looks at the news, sees something political and views their opinon as sometimes saying,
"hey, I think thats wrong"Another person comes along, see the exact same thing as the previous person, as views their opinon, and says "hey, I think thats right"
Is it wrong?
Is it right?
Round and round they could go...I wish I could break the cycle of things sometimes.
I think people at the end of the day are all more or less the same, we're all human at least.
Deep down I bet you're a really wonderful loving person.
How to break a cycle?
Gabbi, I think...
I love you.
