Wink, I was just expressing my opinion, not lecturing. Just as I assume you were. :)

You did say it was "unfortunate" that everyone didn't share your attitude... and as I saw it, you pretty much discounted anyone that didn't. It is just my opinion, but I don't think "barbs" are a helpful or funny form of communication. As I said above, if you change the target, folks would be all up in arms. It's just seems like its fashionable to be mean to men these days. Again, just my opinion.

As for being thick-skinned, it's one thing to not let other people's comments hold you back or to change your self-opinion. It's quite another to not speak up when someone does act inappropriately (in your opinion). If that was the case, blacks would still be riding in the back of the bus, and women would still be PMSing about not being able to vote.

Both Grooch and Wink are really quality people who express themselves eloquently and intelligently, and I have much admiration for both of them. Er, even if I don't always agree...

((((((((((everyone)))))))))). i really think everyone here needs a hug.

i truly hope that no one quits posting here because of these remarks. i think each person really adds to this board. there is no one here that i don't like. i have only came across people that i truly believe are genuine.

i don't think anyone here hurts anyone else intentionally, and i try to keep that in mind. we all have different opionions, values, etc. it is just normal to be different.

wink, i really hope you stay around, a lot of your posts have cracked me up.


sorry, just my

I will probably post something more in depth tomorrow, but I have to say that I 100% agree with every single thing you posted, Karuuna. You said it eloquently.

My favorite line (if i may quote you):

<<It's just seems like its fashionable to be mean to men these days.>>

This couldn't be more true and more sad.

Oh yeah, and Wink is really funny too. It has just been so long since she posted consistently that I forgot. AND she is very good at trivia.

Kar I hesitate to post this because I don't want to continue what may appear to be nit-picking over what I've said but I've just returned from an evening away from the board and I don't want to go to bed without making a final comment on this.

I didn't say "it was unfortunate everyone didn't share my attitude" because I don't make judgements like that. I said "unfortunately it appears 'many others' don't share my view" and I was saying that in the context of asking the thread to be closed. Just giving my opinion.

I don't make a habit of being mean to men or being mean to anyone for that matter. I think we will have to agree to disagree on whether "barbs" are a helpful or funny form of communication in certain areas of discourse. I felt I was giving my opinion on a situation that had gotten way out of hand and I was "speaking up" about what I perceived to be an unfortunate overreaction. My perception, my opinion. I'm entitled to both as you are entitled to disagree and I understand that. I know over the past three years I have agreed with you many more times than I've disagreed. This time just isn't one of them.

Jbean I appreciate your mentioning me and I'm glad I have made you smile at one time or another.

Juju sweet puppy thanks for your kind words as well.

Wink - I'm glad you decided to post again. If I misread your earlier post, I apologize. For me, it read as if you were trying to tell everyone else how to be, rather than saying how you are, or just expressing your opinion. If that wasn't your intent, again, my apologies.

I do respect your intelligence, and your humor (er, most of it :)), and agree with you more often than not as well. I'm sure that will continue. I also appreciate your respectful discussion of this issue.
