It is often the case that people of limited abilites will resort to making wild, unfounded accusations or insulting and rude personal attacks when they realize they are out-matched. Perhaps if we ignore it, it will go away.
With a blend of outrage and sympathy, e with no k -----Original Message----- From: Erika L. Walker-Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 10:31 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Macromedia.com <sigh> First, I counted to ten. Then I started typing. Counting to ten didn't work. Silly and immature, because I enjoy having a good laugh at something that was funny? I wasn't even laughing at you, though you are certainly vain enough to think so, I was laughing at Matt's response. So, EXCUSE me. You LEAVE US NO CHOICE but to assume you are deliberately being belligerent. Silly and immature. OK, so, on my own, in my silly and immature way, 5 years ago, I started my own business. I decided that dealing with corporate yahoos who had uppity views was not worth the anxiety attacks that kept me in the emergency rooms. In my silly and immature way, I decided I wanted a WHOLE LOT of responsibility, the responsibilty of working for myself, working with a partner, working with consultants, finding jobs and work and making sure I could put a roof over my head and food on the table, never knowing if next month the whole world will come crashing down. Yes. I can see how my whole life is silly and immature, because I choose to laugh at a post that was funny to me. But then again, this isn't about me, is it? That would be silly and immature of me. Tom, my sincere apologies, if laughing at Matt's post hurt you in any way, but I will not deny that it made me laugh. As far as rolling on the floor, you are naive if you think I actually REALLY did that. Have you ever heard of "FIGURE OF SPEECH" or "CREATIVE WRITING"? I know you are more intelligent than that, it's just how intelligent you really are that is leaving most of us baffled. You CANNOT walk into a room of people and begin to bash them and expect them to not bite back at you. That is silly and immature. Then again, I think I am being silly for even answering your post, but I felt as if I had to stick up for myself. OH! ALSO! LEARN TO SPELL MY NAME IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADDRESS ME! as far as this: >>|Erica with 2 last names - I trust you have finally stopped >>|rolling on your floor - or is it Ladie's Nite down at the old coral? How insulting can you possibly be? I think this is wholly unfair. I never once attacked your name, DIRECTLY, and if I did, could you please quote it for me, because I cannot find a reference to it. I have ONE last nme. It's Walker-Arnold. Boy I hope you go to this years DevCon in Orlando. I CANNOT wait to meet you! It will be my absolute pleasure!
