I could have written the sentence beginning with the usual, "Dear Share". The fact that I wrote those two words after a few opening words does not, for me, change my intent of the letter to Share. I don't want to hurt Share or to speak condescendingly to her (although I have admitted times when I do give her a nudge or two about her many spiritual pursuits and activities) but this was not the case in my post today. I truly wanted to impart to her exactly what I said. In a nutshell, she could be doing herself a disservice in her knee jerk reaction to the dormouse statement by taking the first angry, negative thing that comes to mind when retaliating to Judy. I believe Share to be someone who would prefer to think of herself as someone who does not fall into any easy traps of flinging abuse around when there are other more thoughtful, cogent means to get her feelings across. > > > > And Curtis, your post to me this morning revealed something, personally to me, that I had only so far witnessed from afar in your dealing with others here.

(See my photo of a rather adorable dormouse). On the other hand, I know you can do better in your description of Judy so that it encompasses not only your feelings (which seem to be hurt) as well as a degree of truthfulness and therefore potency without the ugly-esh negativity. I say this because I don't really sense that your "rageful, reality-obfuscating dirty fighter" phrase as doing you the justice it could if you were to dig a little deeper to find the one that is just right. The one that fits your feelings right now but doesn't do you an injustice. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > BTW, The previous sentence shows the clean fighting way of using quotation marks as the words enclosed therein were actually written by a FFL poster.   > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > > > > > > From: authfriend <authfriend@> > > > > > > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > > > > > > Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2012 7:10 PM > > > > > > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re:to Judy & everyone -- writing for the Church of $cientology > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My apologies to everyone including Judy for my part in > > > > > > > > this disagreement. If anyone has questions or concerns > > > > > > > > about my part in it or in the one with Robin, again my > > > > > > > > request is that you email me directly for sake of > > > > > > > > sparing the forum any further negativity. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > "Especially the negativity of having my mistakes and > > > > > > > falsehoods called to my attention.
