I forgive you...

Yes I relate to what you say totally.....Ive known people who have gotten themselves into a pickle with the left hand path and all that....very dangerous stuff indeed.....

I know in this lifetime my role is to stay "light" so I always tried to stay away from the darker stuff, although from an early age was intrigued by it....a voyeur, one might say...

Hendrix hey.....ooooh love his stuff.....dont know the song you talk of, but it sounds cool anyway...

Keep up the good work....

And thanks again....

Being as we're getting all psychological about this, I have a subtle generalization to add as well ... Those accusations which rile us up the most are generally those that are the most accurate. In other words, if someone accuses me of being dishonest and this irritates me excessively and I suddenly feel the need to defend myself ad nauseum, then I'm probably guilty of a little dishonesty. Whether I'm willing to admit it to myself or not being irrelevant.

True in many cases, Tink but not always the case. There is such a thing as righteous indignation and defense of one's honor at being accused unjustly. For instance, a person who has always held highly the value of honesty and practiced it to the best of their ability in all circumstances might feel righteously indignant and even angry at being falsely accused of dishonesty.

Are you suggesting that anyone who becomes angry and defends their honor at the charges of others is only doing it because they are always "accurate"? That would be a ludicrous thing to suggest. Even Jesus Christ came back at Pontius Pilate with "that's what you say I am."

Lotus I was not judging your intentions. I was talking about the mind games you play with people. Unlike you, while I might question someone's intentions, I don't pretend to know them let alone judge them.

AG, the McDonald's analogy was a good one. Amazing how some people will continue accusing ad nauseam and then suggest you must be guilty because you have to keep defending yourself ad nauseam.

It's probably best to just keep my mouth shut and continue keeping to myself right now...as I've always done. The fires seem to be dying out. I knew there was a good reason why I never got too close to anyone here. I wonder what was said about me.... I wasnt invited to join the secret club so it makes me wonder why.... what was being said behind my back? It would be interesting to hear the dirt if anyone has anything saved. I can only imagine the rumors and assuptions flying about. And I could really use a good laugh right now.

Honestly though, I dont care. KS, doesnt seem like a place I would like to have joined anyway. I'll continue to eat my lunch alone and watch the cool kids go at it.

Hope all of your summers are going well.

I consider you a kindred. I don't need you in a club to think that.
This whole thing was overblown based on a fraction of the whole....with the exception of the one vile post in view ( sooooo don't want to go there again)it was basically a small scale forum, just basic sharing.. not unlike here.
But it's good to see you.. rest assured, I didn't talk about you ( that would be ridiculous!) nor anyone but lotus, only because she was frustrating me. But it's nothing I didn't say to her face.
I'm done with this whole thing.. I'm too emotionally vulnerable.. hard to distance myself from attacks that are unwarrented.

All just to talk away from here, with no bad intentions, this has turned into a guilty by association, and I am tired.

Just because talking about others behind their backs/trash-talking is a common occurence in our world, doesn't make it RIGHT.

It doesn't mean you should do it. There are a lot of things "people do." People lie, people cheat...just because everyone is jumping off that bridge, you should, too? That's so lame, it's such a cop-out.

I know not everyone in KS was involved in the nastiness that has been mentioned. But I don't know *who* was and who wasn't. So I don't feel I can trust anyone who was involved. I know there are others who feel the same way.

I find that sad.

anyhow...

c'est la vie.

peace out.

It's good to see you again, even if it's here in this thread. I just do not understand why, based on almost zero "evidence", everyone assumes they were the topic of all our conversations.

Guilt by association. The fairness of that makes this Libra pretty sad.

Yes, Mirandee. That is why I used the word "generalization".

Thank you very much, 26.

When someone who's seen it calls it "one big burn book"

what am I supposed to assume?
