i Do appreciate this board and Dr. B's work. I also appreciate our work and the benefits he receives from it. it's a two way street. i shall not be guilted into retracking my concerns about the new board, however. :) i may crawl under my desk for awhile...
but, i hope i did not offend either - i'm trying to rethink my way of communicating, and don't even have a manic episode to blame any inappropriate responses on. ;)
I remembered the battle ship cry -- "I sunk your battle ship!!!" said with a fake british accent.

Life is too short for me to continue letting this stuff bother me. I still feel the same way about this as I
stated in an earlier message but I've found this is becoming such a negative influence on me instead of the support
and care I first felt that I just have to tell myself to stop. I need to stop being hurt by it, stop being angered by it, stop being concerned about it. I just didn't want my lack of response to be interpreted as agreement or whatever. I guess we can agree to disagree and move on. At least that is my plan. See you in chat where we are all equal.

For all this controversy, if no one uses the new boards, then it will turn out not to have been a great idea and can be deleted.

No, I didn't have your e-mail, so thank you VERY MUCH for giving it to me. I have been feeling SOOOOOOO lousy lately it's all I can do to get online and check out this site. Keeping up with the formation of the new exclusionary board(s) was a distraction from how poorly I've been doing but now I fear that I've expended way too much energy I probably didn't even have in the first place expressing my concerns about the new board(s). At first, I remained silent and just read people's threads, but then felt that my silence could be interpreted as being okay with the new board(s) which I clearly am NOT. So I spoke up and exhausted my already exhausted self in the process.
Things with me are up in the air ... I sure WILL e-mail you when I feel up to it. Thanks for your interest! :-)

I may have illusions, delusions, be insecure, narcissistic, and not feel special at all thus need to fancy I'm more special than the rest...whew!...but that just means I'm generally screwed up, not that the 2K board 'membership' fills any of those alleged holes in my psyche.

Is there a point somewhere in here? I mean what does this mean Shar? What when where whyfore how and who are you addressing? What is the meaning of this? Do you really think Bekka was suggesting that the O.T. addition could cure y'all's personality problems? Open the bun, look at the beef, it's meaty, not so instantly digestable as your response suggests.
No one's saying you have to swallow.
But is this your way of spitting it out?
Why not just swear?

You know you are my hero Zo, but I must step in for a hot second here. You know Dr. Bob is himself a theoretician on par w/ all your highfalutin standards, so that doesn't wash. You are being WOMANISH right now. That's a paddlin.
Oh and I know you're trying to straighten me out on this but so what if men are male? Don't you ever wish you could trade in your ovaries for logorythyms? I thank my stars that God that F***er somehow got one thing right-the "opposite" in the opposite sex. Viva la diferance and all that happy horsesh*t
We need to talk.love,

I think I started all this disagreement with the OTers board, I was pretty offended by Greg's suggestion, (not by Greg, just the board idea) and so had to put in my two cents. Now we've got close to a million dollars here and I don't really understand where things will end with this. So, Doctor with the Surfboard (Phil's posts are pretty damn funny) what shall be the resolution?How many people have to hate the idea before it gets booted and how many people have to love it before it stays permanently? Cause if we've got an Old Timers board for keeps, well, as I have mentioned, as long as you're taking requests, I think that everyone should be able to have their suggested boards implemented.
Just like Greg. :)

"If this is how wars start, how do they end?"
What is your purpose in breaking out exclusive boards?
Is it possible that creating different classes of posters is detrimental to PsychoBabble as a whole?
Do you think you made a mistake?

See my previous posts earlier on this thread, on the one including:

and on the ones linked to above.

Because I am a fair and likable guy...really (once you get past the BS), I think your idea has merit and should be considered. But....out of all fairness, I had to wait almost a year to get my idea implemented. Everybody else should too :)

Zo,
A guy can fix anything, we're only truly happy when we find something that we can fix correctly.

i know. :) i just want this thread to stay serious on both sides - it's quite selfish of me.
and riding the fence so to speak, which is what i've been doing, is exhausting.

Trouble:
I am smiling as I say this and meaning it in the most fun, friendly way possible, but, do you only read every other word in my posts?My response (the point in general, I guess one could say) was that the name-calling was getting "far afield" from the topic (pros and cons of the OT board). Thus, I cut/pasted the name-calling section from the reference post into my post so I wouldn't be taken to task for hurling around unfounded information. Then I made the point that if I did indeed have those deficiencies, the OT board was not doing a very good job of resolving them.
Sweet, simple, to the point. All true.

> Yo Shar-
........Yo, Trouble
>
> Is there a point somewhere in here?
.........yep
>I mean what does this mean Shar?
.......things seem to be getting far afield
> What when where whyfore how and who are you addressing?
........what am I addressing? the referenced post. When? April 22. Where? Right here in river city. Whyfore? My delicate sensibilities were almost affronted. How? Via computer. Who? The board in general, and, specifically, anybody who might want to call names. (I really think, Trouble, that you could have figured some of this out had you only applied yourself :))
>What is the meaning of this?
..........In an existential sense? Or, a nihilistic slant? Or, in German perhaps? Or, how about, its meaning is clear to me, and I will clarify specific questions, but can't really tell you the meaning it has to you.
> Do you really think Bekka was suggesting that the O.T. addition could cure y'all's personality problems?
.........Nope. And, I prefer ALLEGED personality problems :)
> Open the bun, look at the beef, it's meaty, not so instantly digestable as your response suggests.
.........Whoops, you lost me here.
> No one's saying you have to swallow.
.......No
> But is this your way of spitting it out?
........Nope. My way of spitting things out is MUCH nastier than this. This is a mere napkin to the corner of my lip.
> Why not just swear?
.......as in curse? or as in affirm?

........Or, do what I did, which reflects "my style" and I always do better reflecting "my style" than trying to reflect others' style, or trying to reflect how I think others think "my style" should be written.
