They say laughter is the best medicine.

Love and Humor are everywhere if you look.

So all those people you just named are the only people here at LL? Like i said, you cant speak for everyone AG. So some people dont post to this thread - but there's more people who talk with her elsewhere in the boards. Again, how can you be so sure that you are speaking for everyone? Has there been a hidden vote going on? Cause this site gets alot of traffic, dont ya think theres people out there watching right now not wanting to get into this mess that talk to her otherwise?

I'm usually alone, no one to defend me
then sometimes
I have one
who will put fear aside
and come to my aid

now
on the other hand
we have you guys
that come in like
a pack of Hungry Wolves
salivating
animals
really

do you see the difference
yet?

it's plain and simple
like a
dimple

hehe

It would seem that if you had read what happened you would understand what this stems from. If you think it stems from Sue, Fayte, Magus, or myself, you're mistaken. Pages 25 and 26 say it all. Sue tried to help, and then even tried to leave, but Lotus egged her on, and this is what happened.

With regard to 'everyone' I too look over all of the boards from time to time. I see what's going on. This isn't the only thread where Lotus is the only one posting. If I'm missing everyone where are they? If there are lurkers watching who refuse to speak up for Lotus, what does that say? It says that they either see Lotus the same way we do, or they are indifferent enough about Lotus to stay away. This site gets varying amounts of traffic. Sometimes people just aren't around at all.

All this talk of 'MUST' made me curious. Do you know how many times in these pages that very word is used in the commanding sense by Lotus? 18 Yes, I looked at the context in each instance. That's only her use of, "Must." I'm sure there are as many cases where she's commanding action without the use of, "Must." This is part of what repels people. She gets preachy and judgmental and tells everyone either how she's disappointed with them or how they should act in accordance with her will.

Only this time, the nit picking isnt even being done by as competant of a masterdebator.

Just cause people arent posting to say that they do or dont like lotus doesnt mean there arent people out there that do, and with that it doesnt mean that all *everyone* hates her either. My point to you AG was that you CAN NOT speak for everyone. Cause you arent everyone. And its only your opinion and assumption that all do. When all clearly dont.

I have my reasons for fear ... regardless of whether i am on the internet or not, the person is still human as am i. But i feel i dont need to explain them to you. I didnt PERSIST with the talk of fear. I mentioned it twice in this thread, to [u]persist[/u] with the talk of fear is an exageration on your part.

Especialy since you have been asking for this, I dont think it proper at all to try and use that card.

you don't like it

I'm merely pointing out that I'm not the only one ordering, and showing you how much your friend participates in that.

I don't care if you do or don't take orders from anyone. You're a Cardinal sign. I don't expect you to take orders from anyone. Also, suggesting that someone needs to do something is quite different than the severity of 'must.'

I've acknowledged those who are friends to Lotus, so you can stop trying to make a point about speaking for everyone.

obviously Angel of Hope is trying to point out that you don't know what you are talking about

I get so many emails a day from people here
you have no clue

Clueless you are
