...What I did in this post on Politics...basically that "I've got it bad and harder than you so be nice to me." That was dumb...I really didn't mean it, I was just hurt when I found my words all twisted in a response. Basically, I was told that I was accusing one country of a bunch of things...when I said *nothing* of that sort, which you can find here: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/poli/20060610/msgs/669484.html
I felt like the guy at the scene of an accident who just because he happened to be there, was accused of causing it to occur. I am just going to go back into my hole. I know that most of you folks are very good people, but it seems to only take one...
Jay :(

But Jay, you and Jost are just great.
He's just got feelings for Israel/Israelis (and I'm certainly not suggesting you don't).
That's all.
I don't really see that it's a problem.
Well, you know, this is just my opinion.
Don't worry.

Thank you Declan. I really even didn't wish to carry this thing on over here, just wanted to say I felt a bit dumb for my actions. Thank you very much my friend. Your diplomacy is very much admirable! :)
Best,
Jay

Jay I'm still sorry. I was inconsiderate of your feelings as I'm not into politics and don't know a think . I got involved in the whole Jewish death custom. That is very interesting to me. But it was your thread not mine. Love Phillipa and you have every right to your feelings

Hi, Jay. I'm sorry that our discussion struck you so hard.
Although I was concerned about the possible drift of the conversation, I wasn't sure what people meant, so I was mostly asking. In retrospect, I stated my points very vehemently, especially for here.
I spend a lot of time with lawyers, who don't take vehement arguments, even much more intense ones, personally. The training and the milieu is much more combatiive then many other places, so I tend to have a stance that comes from that.
Also, that weekend, I was particularly shocked about the situation in the MidEast, and therefore reacted more sharply than I would have liked.
If you're having a hard time now, don't leave here. I'm a bit quick on the draw sometimes, but I don't take disagreements personally, or mean them personally. I certainly didn't draw conclusions about you personally from the discussion.
Anyway, don't ever let me get in the way of your being here, even if we do disagree-- I wouldn't want that.
Jost

Hi Jost...my emotions are doing the rollercoaster thing these days, like for most of us on here, and my post on Social was just to say I felt bad for saying something like "I have got it worse than you do", which is such a dumb, immature thing for me to say. I honestly, am very sorry for saying that and take it back completely. I can also see that there are a ton of posts with many different discussions in the thread, and you where just trying to pull a few things together to get some clarity. Normally, I love a well structured and thought out logical "argument"(meaning just different viewpoints) which is what you gave...but I am so "low" right now...a choice between white or brown bread is a big thing for me. Haha. My Dad, who is like my best friend, is really sick with cancer, and I have some serious issues there I have to work out.
Thanks very much for your concern, and your post...I deeply mean it.
Take care,
Jay

Sorry to hear you're hurting so bad. You're a good son, and you must love your dad so much. It's okay to be a little unstable at times like these. I think it's so important that you can explain yourself and what is going on with you. We're here with you Jay. Hang in there.

thanks for hugs (J)

Thanks, Jay, for your kind response.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. That's too hard for words.
Hang in there. Sometimes even at the worst times, very meaningful experiences come up, that give everything a depth that you hadn't seen. Doesn't make it easier, lets there be something other than simply badness.
I hope your Dad does get better. And you too.
Jost

Jay - so sorry about your Dad.
I'm glad you decided to stay & I admire both you & Jost. Reading your posts to & from each other here is LOVELY. To see that folks are willing (& feel safe enough) to be open about their feelings & to be generous & gentle & wanting to smoothe things out.
My heart goes out to you & your Dad Jay.
xoxo Kath
