Sailor Dan ... you are probably a nice person but I don't need to be humoured.

This is cyberspace and we can be nice when, in fact, we aren't at all. We can be lots of things, when, in fact, we are none of them at all.

I have never been anyone other than myself on this forum ... I am intense and direct and honest, in my feelings and in my dealings with people. I apologize when I'm wrong but, when I make a stand, I don't back down. I ALWAYS sign my name or my nickname. I don't engage in gratuitous pandering. I don't belong to cliques and have no desire to do HearMe and I have been called a loner.

Your assessment of my character is: uncharitable, mean, nasty, opinionated, threatening, obnoxious, unpleasant, and annoying ... because I expressed my opinion and anger ... without ever having spent one real life minute with me.

You presume to know from where my anger stems, instead of simply accepting the fact that I am angry. You presume that I am carrying around "baggage," ... and presume to know what the baggage is ... when, in fact, you don't know that all.

But this is the Emerald City and we've all traveled the Yellow Brick Road to get here. And in the Land of Oz there is no deceit or deception ...

my mistake
