waving palm branches,
You seem OK to me
It's funny how those who complain about threads being complaint threads often complain more than anyone else
I will use this post as an example as an attempt to make a point... I have no ill will towards this poster, who obvious is taking a jab at me.
So,
waving palm branches, you mean like this post here? A passive aggressive backhanded insult geared toward me, but yet, never directed at me?
and this is to make a point, they we fail in meeting the standard. Ironic, I know.
Does anyone understand my point? Stop judging, just stop judging ppl and let them be them. Because when you are judging another person, you are failing your own standard.
I don't meet the standard... none of do. we are human beings who are just working it out.
I may ignore 10 of these types of posts, but that 11th one... man... what to do? In the past I didn't allow a single one to get past me, but now, I can let them go... because I have grown.
personal growth is, well, it's personal.
I admit it's hard for me to calm down and let insults it go... it cracks me up when a person thinks they aren't just as insulting. but I realize the type of person the poster may be, and I accept they are just comming from their own wounded place like I am, so I let it go now, becuase there is no merit in me bullying a person.
You see here's the deal none of us are perfect... not one, if anyone here has a problem with anyone else, guess what? You falied to meet the standard.
I know you are expressing your feelings and I'm not discounting them. I'd like it to be different too, but it's not going to be. it's really not.
I'm not offended anymore because like I said, OBOB is more like the real world, not some fake virtual world where we all march in line agreeing with one another.
It is not run by any kind of Catholic authoritative staff. Heck, the mods are all non Catholic, so folks are going to express themselves, right or wrong and we need to all, including myself, be able to handle that.
We are different, we all have personalties and we should not have to defend that, defend constantly who we are.
as long as we aren't foul mouthed and nasty, and I do not see anyone being foul mouthed and nasty. I really don't. I mean this post was pretty nasty towards me... but if this is as bad as it gets, were doing good.
