I have to admit it is weird when I'm absent from FFL for some time and return to find a discussion about me going on. Anyway, thank you to both Ann and Steve. I find Carol very reasonable and also thought she missed a crucial point of mine. Which seems like a long time ago and I can't even remember what it was (-:
Also want to say that when turq has been going at me the way he has been the last few days, I appreciate all the support that's offered by others. Then when Steve comes along in his masculine and gentle way, it reminds me that it's ok to be feminine. That means a lot to me. BUT...I also really liked when Steve took up for turq. Because his buddies generally take up for turq on the intellectual level, which is fine and good. But Steve took up for turq on an emotional level. And I still believe that those with the toughest shells are also those with the softest insides. Honestly folks, the turq lives with 3 other adults and a child! Could he do so and be the curmudgeon he often appears to be here?! ________________________________ From: seventhray27 <steve.sun...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 9:23 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch Is Back to Carol --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Ann" <awoelflebater@...> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray27" steve.sundur@ wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Ann" <awoelflebater@> wrote: > > > > > Er, Steve, you seem to be getting a tad defensive here and it seems it > > is because you have this need to run to somehow divert what you perceive > > as some sort of attack aimed at Share.

Okay, I do get riled up when I see something akin to bullying*** Not that we are seeing bullying here, but as a tendency on my part, yes I acknowledge that. *** 1970's definition in force here.Not a terrible character flaw but in this case a grown woman like Share can probably handle whatever Carol is likely to bring up in conversation. Uh, really has nothing to do with Share fighting her own battles. She doesn't need my help in that regard. I thought Share brought up a salient point that Carol chose not to include in here reasons why the eminent Dr. Oz would choose to embrace TM. I hardly see Carol as some malevolent, unreasonable poster here. Nor do I. But as I said, I thought she chose to selectively consider possibilities, choosing not include perhaps the most reasonable explanation. As these things go, I would call it a small infraction, but I chose to comment on it anyway. And I accept that people might feel I am full of sh*t about it. Share will probably say otherwise, but I think you should have a little more confidence in her ability to respond/deal with interactions here, especially with someone as reasonable as Carol. You will have to take that up with Share. I think she weighs the cost/reward ratio of who she interacts with. Personally, I greatly enjoy your contributions here. >
