Lollie, an apology is not what I am looking for from you, although Bill’s apology at best was pathetic. Basically I was stating that sometimes I feel attacked, but the work you all do is interesting to me, therefore I keep coming back. In my post I specifically stated, “I have only posted here a few times, but have been a lurker for awhile, and the main reason why has and still is that I have felt attacked by some responses I have received from the regulars on this board.” I believe the key word is FELT, (yeah I am going to do what you all do in order to be heard, hence the CAPS, which by the way I feel is for emphasis, not screaming, correct me if I am wrong). You do follow up by saying that you believe I was stating how I felt, and that is completely and honestly the TRUTH. However, I feel that your statement of “However, I could say that we were indirectly attacked in your post to Bill.”, was indirectly a slam to what I said and hence the feeling of “attack“. I in no way wanted to attack this board, I felt I was expressing my feelings. Throughout my comments to Bill I wanted to address the name calling incidents, which by the way are not the first from Bill, I remember his board post whereby he did the same thing. Plus I have felt attacked and at times I feel that attacks have gone on with him as well. Do I believe every word out of his mouth or keyboard should I say? Hell no! That is the reason I framed the same questions to Bill as Sol did just to satisfy my curiosity as to whether he flat refuses to answer her except call her names, or have they really been answered. Yes, I feel Newbies to this place have to do all you have done and re-invent the wheel, my only problem with this is that I have a life outside of here whereby I have to earn a living to afford to spend time on this website., not to belittle anything that you all have contributed. I have been “lurking” for several years, and still have not read half of what is on here. Sol--Posting my links to stuff said isn’t what I was trying to convey, I hate that you all do that in light of the fact that nobody interprets things the same way. Feelings are just that, feelings not right or wrong, not fact or fiction, just simply feelings. Mistaken impression regarding re-creating the scene, seriously we can only piece together what we believe happened, and then again sometimes things aren’t what they seem, which I why I believe you stated that. I do not believe I am mistaken in that line of thinking, it is what it is. I have asked myself many of the questions you posted to me, sometimes I do wonder about this stuff, but at times other questions come to mind, I do try and search for answers, but time is again a factor. Searching is how I found this board. Never did I say the words “Far Out”, my wording was "out of the norm", adding to my posts only inflames people and caused discord. I hope this is all a misunderstanding of such, and that I will continue to post here. I just would like things to be civil and not feel attacked or constantly misquoted to incite more angry responses, I tried putting LOL, and smiley faces in my post to convey that character or attitude.
