I stated and tried to state in your thread twice, that I had no issue with you nor thought you were leaving was the right thing to do. I am not offended in any way. I'm fine.

If you want to judge me on one post over 5 years, have at it. Otherwise, I feel that I have tried very hard to explain my position and concerns in an calm, reasonable, mature way in several threads. I also said that the Community Standards should be for all, including myself.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad WARNING: THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS WILL SEEM LIKE CROW TO MANY. <<<HAHA. If only it was always so easy.>>> It is that easy...but IF and only IF you are sincere from the heart. The secret to love is that you just can't give up, even upon death itself. If you love someone, I mean really really love someone, it may take months, maybe even years, but loving someone makes you treat that person in a certain way...an unconditional way. True love, loves NOT for what someone is, but in spite of what someone is. Eventually, the person you love, will if nothing else, accept that you care about them, and in most cases at least acknowledge your love for them, and now and then maybe even love you back. I have a sister-in-law, who makes it her business in this life to not allow ANYONE (including her own spouse and her own kids) to get too close to her emotionally. It's true. My story is simple. I love her. She hates me. She knows how I act, she thinks me to be a charletan, an idiot, a fraud. She is wrong. I am sincere. We have been at this game for 11 years. I have done everything humanly possible to PROVE to her that my love for her is honest and well set. Eventually she too will realize somehow, some way that I REALLY do love her and care about her. It may be tomorrow, it may be next year, it may be after I am gone. But eventually she will get it, because I am the one who loves her. It is soooo much easier to hate someone, than to love someone. That has a lot to do with the fact that, it is also easier to be angry at someone than to be hurt by that same person. When you love someone, you are open to hurt, but the problems lay with the person doing the hating, not he person doind the loving. The person who is doing the loving can't do anything else nor anything more. Hating is easy, loving unconditionally is very hard. Now please, someone slap me and tell me I am full of crow.
Originally Posted By mele No, I just meant that it would be nice if it was always so easy to see who won and who lost. You were being funny and I was just joking with you in return. Yes, wouldn't it be nice if it was always so easy. I'm glad that you are so positive about love and sure that everything will work out in the end. I disagree, but that is a subject for another thread, another day.

It's about ME, ME, ME -- ROADTRIP!! Is that so hard to understand? These are the reasons: 1) I'm short. No one respects short people. Randy Newman was right. 2) I wear boxer briefs. A lot of people here have problems with a guy in his 50's wearing boxer briefs. 3) I once made a regrettable comment on LP about Katharine McPhee from American Idol. Entirely truthful and honest, but not good for public consumption. 4) I made no strong objection to a New Englander's post or a Southerner's presumed defense of him. Well, 1-3 will have to stand on their own merits. Number four I will probably have to explain. The Cape does strange things to folks... just look at the Kennedy's. So after a couple of early go rounds I tried to pass off everything said as C.R.A.P. (Cape Results in Absolute Poppycock). When our good man DVD dad went to the defense of Massachusetts, he was doing so out of loyalty to a guy he talked about golf with. Guys who play golf are weird about that. They would say Hitler was an OK guy if he had played golf. Which to the best of my understanding he didn't. But added to that was the fact that I don't think VCR dad visited World Events very frequently. Let's face it. A guy making all those babies can't take the chance of losing the mood by reading WE garbage. So... NFL dad was combining a golfer's natural kinship with anyone else swinging the sticks with a profound lack of knowledge as to the things going on over at WE. In other words... he didn't know squat about what he was talking about. But we all love him anyway. At least I do. So... got that? The only person anyone lost respect for was me. But that's OK because there wasn't much there to begin with! (Sorry to go so far off topic kind of but that's just the way I am.)
