When my dad had a major heart attack and retired, he found himself watching "Days of our Lives" on a regular basis. It happens.
Not to suggest that Tony's getting _old_, or anything... |

I don't approve of April's life style choices. But I am not so 'religious right extremist' or 'Rush Limbaugh' as to sadistically attack her. For that matter, I am not attacking anyone - simply posting a summary observation - and kudos to some who posted helpfully. I enjoyed watching posters such as Wolf, Dagney, and Onyxcougar post as responsible Americans do. They did not get emotionally upset. They remained logical - meaning they provided the thread with good input. There are lessons here for the 'black pots' who emotionally attacked April. Unfortunately they are probably too emotional to want to hear it. One can be disgusted by April. But an adult does not post those emotions. An adult posts logically - with an objective beneficial to all. Apparently some only attacked April for self serving, personal gratification. |

and some people can't resist an opportunity to make a wise crack. You assume that people give(gave) a shit about the girl....maybe you are right in one or two notable examples. I can only speak for myself, and can honestly say that my emotions remain in check. Unless you count withering distaste an emotion. I was simply tired of her and FnF squashing the topic of every thread that they crossed paths on. And with a little coaching, FnF took the hint. I don't know you, tw, but you seem to use big words easily and have good grammar, so I'll assume (for the moment) that you are of reasonable intelligence. The issue I have here is the tone.
Please try not to sound so high and mighty. This is only a request. I don't have any right to tell you how to act, but your post made me edgy. Pardon the sarcasm in my reply if you please, but while you were chastising the dwellars for responding to "trolling", you were, yourself, trolling. Nicely done.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that by "adult" you meant "conforming to my morals".

In simple terms, if April inspired any emotions, then the adult thing to do is simply ignore those emotions - post nothing. That is what adults must do with children. And clearly April was a child - regardless of age or sexual maturity of her body. A more interesting question is why she is a child - be it from low intelligence or from her peers masking as adults. Again, there is nothing to be concluded or drawn from these sentences about April other than logical curiousity, speculation, or confusion as to who she really is(was). If you (or anyone else) perceives any 'friendly' or 'adversarial' relationship from me, then again, you have totally misconstrued my posts. I don't need (nor seek) either. Instead ask yourself why you have mistakenly jumped to such a conclusion - and instead ask why or where that logical progression of ideas has come from. I simply watched this outrageously funny (or pathetic) progression of posts around April (and not all posts because there were too many). One trend that kept repeating: Some simply wanted to disparage or attack this girl only for personal emotional reasons. Why? There were no logical reasons to do so. That leaves only emotional reasons to attack her. Not that I expected Dagney or Onyxcougar to help her since I suspect April is a victim of her adult peers. But nowhere - at no time - should you conclude anything implied; a subverted agenda; a hidden intention in anything I post. What I post was entirely what was my blunt intention - to identify attacks on a troubled girl who really did not deserve that apparently 'emotionally inspired' drubbing. Someone who may have been actually reaching out for help - exactly as a teenagers 'in more trouble than she wants to admit' might do. Another said this thread should end. It ends easily when one is not emotionally attached. Its called 'stop reading it' - the logical response. Notice - this also was not an attack. No emotion should be implied or perceived. There is nothing high or almighty in that conclusion. It is brutal, frank honesty. If this thread (or April) has continued on too long, then be adult. Stop reading it. Where, in any of this, is a personal attack, an insult, or a decree from the Emperor? (TW the First does not have a poetic rhythm to it anyway.) Last edited by tw; 12-09-2003 at 12:16 AM. |
