First of all, I am seldom, if ever, truly mean; I do get mad sometimes. I do tease others about themselves and only those who have no ability to laugh at themselves whatsoever take offense, from what I've noticed. I make fun of myself as well all the time. (Again, all in a manner and context sometimes that not everyone understands, particularly given that you can't see me or hear my tone of voice). Secondly, I always try to communicate from an honest place. I *never* "script" anyone - how could I do that? I have no power or control over what anyone except myself writes. Everyone here has a choice if and how, they respond. Share ignores most of what I comment to her on; she certainly never responds the way I think she "ought"; I am not her keeper, but like everyone here, including me, if she posts, she runs the risk of receiving feedback. If that bothers her, than she has the option not to post. Thank you for your feedback; I find it humorous honestly, although quite off-base.

You think she should say what you have scripted for her, but of course things don't work that way, and to expect them to is just another way of trying to control another person. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: It's interesting to see the different approaches taken by the Mean Girls. Authfriend practices a kind of knee-jerk negativity that produces crude, nasty attacks. In respect of Share (and Barry), she is All Nasty, All the Time. It doesn't matter what these two write; the response is always the same. Any excuse to belittle, mock, and insult -- that's authfriend's MO. With Emily, it's a little different at first. It starts with the pretense that she doesn't understand or is trying to understand something that Share wrote. No pretense. I *am* trying to understand by asking her to explain what she is saying or thinking or feeling when she says it. Sometimes I am asking her to provide a larger context for her comments because a lot of what she says doesn't make sense to me. I've stated that many, many, times. Objectively, human behavior does interest me, no doubt, and I truly am a sincerely curious sort of person. Emily likes to sound reasonable and sincere, carefully trying to disguise her hostility. I am *sounding* that way because I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I am often reasonable and usually sincere, albeit, sometimes within a context or a writing style that you don't seem to pick up on, given this statement of yours. I am not a hostile person and I don't hold onto or maintain hostility on this forum towards anyone ever, really. If I did, I wouldn't stay here. I have certain triggers - Share's mean streak is one of them, when it pops up. I respond to what shows up in the moment, or as a result of watching the trajectory of a conversation unfold. I try to keep a larger picture in mind almost always, even as I may descend into the energy and feeling of a thread as it resonates within me. I may not always succeed in the heat of the moment (in keeping the larger picture at the forefront), but behind the scenes, in my own life, I always go through a process of "lessons learned," if you will. I am a human being and I *believe* in the concepts of accountability and humility, for example. This prepares the ground. It's a set up. Then when Share responds, Emily declares the response to be inadequate or shocking, and proceeds to plunge the knife in and twist it as much as she can. Jesus Christ Feste, I have been shocked by Share on many occasions, it's true, and she has deferred and refused to take accountability for her words, or even explain them, on even more occasions. I have also apologized more times and copped to my own actions more than many here and I have stated many times that I always check what I might say to others against my self - I am not a saint nor do I pretend to be. Share has a record of "zero" on that front. I hold no animosity towards her; I am just objectively stating what I have noticed from her posts here. To attribute these kinds of violent images to me says a lot about you, not me. Curiously, Share, do you agree with what Feste says here about me? Is this how you have experienced me on this forum? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: Poor, helpless Share. She is Lady, hear her squeak...
