Just a few words that's been on my mind.

I do experience impaired judgment at least from time to time, and I believe you are perfectly aware of it.

As a lunar Piscean (a solar Libran as you are), I'm sure generally you would have a fairly good, if not vivid and long memory.

So I am quite convinced that you will know exactly what I'm going to talk about-

When I said I was impressed, I was in an overly emotional state; I was not being rational or fair; I do also admit that I, until then, still unconsciously resonated with that kind of mentality, that kind of attitude. I was not making sense. I was being the worst of me.

It made, however, perfect sense, when you said you were not impressed. You were absolutely right. Even if the poster genuinely meant no intentional harm, but merely being a savage, that kind of behavior should by no means be encouraged or praised. That kind of attitude ought to be discouraged.

Thus, in retrospect, I had lost my mind to say I was impressed. You, Zala, by contrast- made perfect sense.

Just wanted to let you know this is what I think.

It's not because I still hold grudges against you, and do not look forward to a reply from you, Zala.

It's because I've just witnessed a barbaric tragedy and I do not history to repeat itself.

In any event, I am pretty sure you will get to view this post eventually, therefore I believe you will get to read what I have to say, Zala. It is really not because I do not want feedback from you. What I do not want is trouble.

NOW PLEASE RANDALL OR ANY OF THE MODS CLOSE THIS THREAD TO AVOID POTENTIAL HARMFUL BEHAVIORS PRECIPITATED BY UNCIVILIZED INDIVIDUALS. MANY THANKS.

I'll close the thread as requested.

But not before expressing exception to you referring to other Knowflakes as "uncivilised" without any pre-empting here.

It's interesting that you want the freedom to say your piece but want to inhibit opinions that oppose yours. I think some people fear criticism more than others, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't fear it to some degree. I think that when someone is secure in themselves and their own beliefs that they aren't threatened or fearful of those of others.

While I do appreciate your honesty and bravery, as koi has pointed out, they don't account for tact. I think you encounter opposition because of the way you say things, not because of the points of your argument or cause. And beause you expect it.
