No... I calls it as I sees it. I never sign out, and if I have something to say, I just say it.
I won't attack the poster, because whoever it was seemed to voice concern, not malice. And frankly, attacking someone else for the sake of a perceived attack is kind of bass-ackwards, isnt it? LOL
Oh well.. Live and let live I guess.

In chat Cinema was being singled out for no apparent reason. She was getting blatent insults, and I admit, I'm the first to make posts on the forum joking about it, but not anonymously. If you think for one minute CB posted this, I would have to say I disagree. She is the type to watch and laugh.
Anyways, Crystal, are you ok? I'm surprised you don't remember what was going on in chat. If you need someone to talk to, PT me.
Anyone want to see a horse testicle? The guy forgot to take it after geldeing last night.
Yes, I DO remember BRD. If I didn't I wouldn't have made the above posts now would I? And for the 2nd time, and the last, never did I say that I thought it was CB that made this thread. I don't think it was her. What I said was this thread STEMMED from what I said to CB in chat.
And yes, I'm perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with me. You, of all people should realize that speaking your mind and opinion can get you in hot water with those who don't agree with you. You've done it enough. As have a few others on this board.
You should also realize that many times what you mean and how it is interpreted are usually not the same. It was mentioned about me calling people names on the board? I can assure you that 90 percent of those times was in jest. Indi and I call each other names ALL the time..so do Denise and I, and Doxie and I, and several others. For those who are on the outside looking in, it may seem that I'm being mean, when in fact it's usually an inside joke.
I'm sorry that most of what I say is taken out of context. Some of it is NOT meant as a joke, but much of it is. I'm the first to admit I have a warped sense of humor sometimes.
And I'm sorry if "those times" have been taken as me being drunk or on drugs or whatever is going through people's minds. Actually, I don't really care. I am who I am and for those who don't like that can simply ignore me, but to make the accusations and pot shots that were taken at me on this thread (and a few others) is pretty childish, immature, and downright mean. I'm done with this thread, as it's nothing but a misguided lynchmob.
Guess it was my turn, huh?

Well, in all honestly BRD...I can remember more than once reading a post from you and sitting her thinking, "what the hell is she talking about?". Or, "where did that come from?". Unless you have the inside scoop on some conversations or comments, that can happen a lot around here.
There are a lot of "outside" conversations that go on among the BBC members (pt's, yahoo, msn, etc), and sometimes those conversations and/or emotions spill over into the public forum (or the chat rooms) that can leave a lot of people scratching their heads wondering what's going on.
And unless you know (not you personally, but "you" as in general) where those comments/emotions came from, it's really not fair (for the most part) to judge what anyone says to anyone. There's always a reason behind it. That reason may not be made public to the entire BBC membership, but there's usually a reason for it.
I know I said I was done with this thread, but what I really meant was I was done with the trolls on this thread. I will respond to anyone who wants to comment as themselves.

Exactly my point Denise! Indi and I call each other names in chat almost everytime we are in there. I'm sure to some who don't know the relationship we have, it must sound horrible. I have a habit of calling GP a dumb *** quite a bit...it's all in fun, and she knows it. Same with you and Doxie. LindaK and I call each other names in chat. It's called friendly bantering to those who don't understand.
I know there was a rather new person in chat the other night who was very offended that Indi and I were calling each other names..Indi brought it up to me in messenger. I have a feeling that is also where some of this is coming from. A major misunderstanding by a few who don't realize we are just kidding.
Then when you add to the mix, the times I am NOT kidding, I guess I come across as a pretty rude person.

it still hasn't figured out how to pick up a cherry and put it in a coke bottle...
GP - you can't? You are useless!!!

You bring up very good points Crystal. I just don't think you were joking with Paula that night. I just can't sit there and see my friends get bashed for what I see as no reason.
Your right BRD, in that case, I wasn't joking. And I totally agree with you. I get the *** when my friends are bashed also, which is where my hostility came from. But as I said before, things are said that some are not privvy too, which prompts others to say things that some don't understand. There is usually a reason why things are said as it was in this case. I don't dislike CB, not in the least. But I did mean what I said. If that makes any sense.

Which, btw, brings up another point. I have always thought that you and I were friends as well. Why didn't you come out and ask me why I said what I said? You didn't, and neither did anyone else. I was simply accused of being an alcoholic. How fair is that?

Point of the matter is whomever created this thread did it anonymously, and made an accusation to boot. So even if they thought they were doing someone a favor, it backfired and feelings were hurt.
Just another reason to NOT post anonymously on this board. Fact of the matter is no one takes someone unregistered seriously. As soon as you see the username is not registered the content of that post loses any umph. Like it or not, it is what it is.
