Thread Name: BS: compassion or honesty
Subject: RE: BS: compassion or honesty
The facts are,"another", that whoever and whatever I am outside this forum, I have contibuted and commented as honestly as I know how among the people who participate in these conversations. Through these comments, most have come to know who I am, and what I believe in. And I stand on those beliefs whether you or anyone else thinks they are right or wrong, and what's more will defend them if they are challenged. I am happy to argue any specific point you may disagree with me on. If you have read any of my posts I believe that you will see that I attempt to treat others here with RESPECT, and with concern and humor. I have rarely resorted to name-calling, which seems to be the stock-in-trade of the "conscience clique."

As for the other "clique" of regular contributors- I know of no other in-group that welcomes new people as readily,or is as helpful to those seeking information. I also know of none of them that adopt a holier-than-thou, "You're-probably-already-one-of-my-fans" attitude like the one you flaunted above. It's been said at least a thousand times : If you don't like the bullshit IGNORE IT. But don't come riding in with your shotgun and your "anonymous" disguise taking pot-shots at people who have posted their thoughts, feelings, names, and photographs for the sake of honest communication.
