Well, my dear Miss P - it's a give and take forum. In each forum you have those nice talkies, those busybodies, those nosey parkers, those that would insult other peeps, those who dont practice what they preach, etc., etc.
The fact is - no one is perfect. I'm WAY far from perfect. Look at me...on this forum alone, I've been called a busybody, a buttisky, a person who cant keep her nose out of other peeps businesses, a homewrecker, a wonderful, caring person, a best friend, and I could go on and on... but who gives a heck? I don't. You know why?
I am ME. I am DreamDeaf. I am who I am. I am what people see outside and inside. Those who want to know me better, go further inside, ignoring the outside.
Many of them know me as very sarcastic towards those who pontificate and preach, but do not do what they say other people shoudl be doing, in other words, they think they're perfect as they are, and don't have to follow the rules they set for other people.
Yet, those very same people that know me, know me as a very caring person, always checking on my family and friends, making sure they're all right and all is good and right in the world.
You, my dear Miss P, is completely correct. There are mean people here in this forum, but that's how it works. A forum is like a melting pot - people of all ages, disabilities, races, emotions, etc., etc., and that's how a forum works.
I do know of a LOT of nice people here in the forum.
I know that you see a lot of people here insulting you, cussing you out, slapping you around literally on this forum - but I do admire you.
Why? You keep coming back, no matter how much punishment you take, you keep coming back for more.
Miss P - don't give up. Those "meanies" (yes, I'm including you, Steel!) already do admire you for your persistence. And then there are those rare moments that you do hit it right on the head!
BTW, this is what you should have done...

AND FYI... I LOVE THOSE FREAKIN' DARN THREE STOOGES!!!
