well, i was having a crappy day and to see all the race stuff brought up again...it didn't help. i've since yelled at that email girl and feel slightly better for it. but that's not the point. the point is i think i was too agressive yesterday. that's not me backing down on what i said, just how i said it.

and nanzar, i apologise for dragging you back into a thread that you wanted to be free of. the truth is, i think i started out trying to defend you but ended up using you as a sort of spring board to have a go at everyone on my own behalf. that was very wrong of me. i'm sorry.

everyone else...yeah.

There's plenty of room within Fight Club to start your own thread, if you so feel inclined. (*cough*Ame*cough* )

Ahhh, there is it. Look zoom, Shawn, the immature and hot headed Sara has returned. At least partially. It's only cause Keri is at work and can't shove me over to get all riled up. Mmmm riled up Keri.

*ahem* Carry on.

yes. well we are a clique you know...

I don't think you need to apologize for stating your mind anymore than anyone else has stated their minds. We all have a right to express how we feel, regardless of whether it disagrees with others or not.
lol, zoom i don't think anyone has called you a clique for awhile, i hope not. rotfl. As for people getting riled up i think this may have been a needed release in some ways. Anger is good for the soul, people are too afraid of their anger. Let it out. It's freeing.

GOD, I should be a shrink!

*gets distracted thinking of how sexy John is when he's angry...mmmmmm.*

sarcasm, sweetie darling. it's the only way...

Sarcasm is tasty with a little worcestershire sauce...

So are hot, riled up men...and women.

John got mad at some idiot today, and I swear he made Johnny Depp look like a wimp, even in From Hell(oh wait, he was a wimp in that movie, he left the girl on the island to be with his opium.)

Anyway...ONWARD!

Oh...rereading your post, Maddie i realize you weren't apologizing for speaking your mind. But this was kind of a thread for airing out lots of stuff, so I didn't think what you said was inappropriate.

Anyway I'm hungry, I'll catch you all later. John is waving the worcestershire sauce right now....

i also don't think that argy should have started a thread in fight club entitled "nanzar's day in the sun ". it could have just as easily been something like "have your say about the scrolls" or "trouble in paradise" (if you wanted to be less formal about it). i mean jeez, you claim you don't want to attack her and then you offer her an "appropriate" place to air her views which is obvioulsy aimed at cutting her down before she even knows it's there.

Wrong. I did not claim that I didn't want to attack Nanzar. I claimed that this thread was an opportunity for both me and Nanzar to clearly say what was pissing us off.

quote:

and mentioning nanzar's husband in here. i don't know what that was supposed to achieve but that stood out to me as the most innapropriate thing anyone's done throughout this whole debate. maybe you were trying to illustrate that you do really care about her and what's going on in her life, but it just seemed pretty low to use something like that as a sort of bargaining chip to prove a point, especially in a thread that has - for the majority - been negatively aimed at nanzar's conduct. did you not consider how upsetting that might be?

Well, you obviously didn't read what I wrote very carefully, OR Nanzar's response to it.

I enquired how her husband was doing, after reading a poem where she said he had been ill. I realised that the reason she may have been so aggressive with people could have been because she was undergoing some stress. AT NO TIME did I use her husband's illness to prove any kind of point. She got that I was genuinely concerned and confirmed that she had been feeling under stress lately, as a result of some difficulties she was facing.

That's what helped to defuse the argument. I'm glad to see that it hasn't flared up again.

when i read nanzar's response, it sounded to me like she was just giving up on this because she didn't want to fight a losing battle anymore; she had way more important things to be stressing about. that's how i read it, but i guess i was wrong.
