I just forgot to include the word 'apology' in the subject of my last message. I apologise for being a b**ch. No offence intended. I've changed my attitude.------------------

I never took offense. Take your passion for what you believe and couple it with sensitive, understanding, and compassionate writing that is both vivid in its imagery yet nonconfrontational, and you will have people making voluntary choices on their own that reflect the information you present.  ------------------

Thank you for your understanding you guys...I'm much mellower now and I've realised that an extremist attitude will win me no support. Gentle persuation is far more constructive...and I should have spoken with a more considerate, empathetic tone...------------------

Dana......I went hunting for this thread to respond to your post on the crushed eggs topic, but in respect for your wishes to let it end, I wanted to post this here.... I don't have an issue with your topic...it was the delivery of such, and that was the point I was trying to make. You have apologized over and over for the delivery, and I am not posting this to make you feel bad about it all over again. I just wanted to let you know I heard you, and that if you continue to speak your voice on the subject, with a softer approach you have the capacity to REACH people with the sincerity of your message. Look at all the reponses to your posts!! That's great!!
A fire is lit by a single spark......and the attention to your vegan posts just keeps more people reading it, and hearing the message! I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your apology....and that I hope you understand that from my point of view- I wasn't trying to invalidate your opinion, nor your S-elf. Just the delivery, which yes, cheesed me off but I am over it. No hard feelings, I hope.... MK IP: Logged |
