Why is it necessary to attack the way I live my life

and did one treat others as one would like others to treat oneself despite of others mistreating one?

Can you look up the definition of "Man Up"? and also Gandhi for me please?

To be honest, you are the one who started it by calling him smug and you were personally attacking him with different comments. And he never criticized how you live. I suggest to just leave it alone.

You are very comfortable in your own skin, we respect that completely, but we'd appreciate it if you don't start a new thread and start pointing out people for "attacking" you. What you are doing is very passive aggressive.

I see that happen a lot around here. People seem to be more proficient at pointing the finger than at looking at their own actions. You get back what you put out.:cool2:

In the short time I have been back to AD, after being away for 3 years, I was surprised to find that there are still some people that can not have a discussion in forum without making it an attack. I recently replied with a qq and comment regarding a forum on our National Debt. I knew it would be a topic that touched each of us. But when i asked a qq in a comment I was Laughed at, accused of misrepresenting who i was and how i lived my life and
labeled a term by someone who does not even know me. I must have struck a nerve with my qq and comments. I try to be open minded and always wish
Peace to whoever I am speaking with . it IS who I am and I am very comfortable in my own skin. I am a well educated, articulate individual who may not be able to keep up with some due to my recovery from my Traumatic brain Injury. I assure you, I have seen this same person and others like them go off on anyone who disagrees with them and they are just plain mean!
I offered a wish for peace to the person and asked that perhaps they work on tolerance. I forgive them and hold no bad feelings. There is no place in my heart for that kind of negativity. I hope I did not make a mistake returning to AD. I have made so many wonderful friends, old and new. I respect each persons opinion. I want everyone to know I do fill my heart each day with Love and Peace and take that with me out into the World, that is my Path...how others react to me is theirs. Smile..so Peace to All thanks for listening..M♥♥♥

Midnight - I understand. But you know that if you may not be able to keep up due to your recovery from brain damage... it's best to not participate in some threads that can lead to debate.

just a suggestion.

Yes, it was very nice of him to insult people's intelligence and assume if they stick up for decency and logic, they are just mindlessly repeating what I tell them.

you can man up and walk away without resorting to their level but no - you felt the need to insult back.

Aggressor? Passive Aggressive? Manipulative?

well who is the culprit then? Let me answer this question for you - both of you are not a victim.

Since you won't look it up on your own, I'll do so for you since you need to know the definition and apply it to yourself as well.

Urban Dictionary: man up Particularly number 7.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
Mohandas Gandhi

No Good. Just a 2 cents.
I think there is more behind this discussion than it meets the eye. We do not know all the details.

This thread is inflammatory. The posts in the other thread are inflammatory. My question to you: why are they not removed? If I had the "delete post" option, or the "delete thread" option, the problems would have been flushed down the toilet. This particular thread would not have lasted 5 minutes.

You have the power; use it. :wave:
 
If the original discussion is about the "state of the National debt" it is impossible to have a rational discussion WITHOUT BEING AN ECONOMIST/PROFESSOR. Depending of one's view how it applies to countries- Capitalist VS Marxist VS Free Traders ETC.
I am not sure how -"forgiveness of ourselves & others" applies to such an intellectual "exercise"?

Even more pertinent: how germane is the "national debt" to a discussion of hearing/deaf/Deaf?

Some people have opinions on topics other than their own health/person. The world of AD may be a home for d/Deaf and HOH issues, but there are other topics of interest.

Wow it seems you used a lot of colors to highlight some points...I have no need to argue with you about what happened.

I lived with passive-aggressive people all of my life. I copied them, learned from them and sometimes employ them when I really want to shove someone out of my life permanently. Quite frankly, I am sick of experiencing it from my friends and family-- and I would like to stop doing it myself.

The reason why I highlighted in three different colours is to show the nature of someone who is attacking then subduing the issue.

Sorry to anyone who gets seizures though. Just realized red and green are not the best colour.

Again, you just don't get it. AllDeaf.com is a place for deaf people to meet, talk, etc. Not just about deafness, but about everything that's going on in the world. THAT is what DEAF CULTURE is about.

Deaf individuals are quite capable of discussing the National Debt, and many other topics that require a large degree of learning and intelligence.:cool2: Why should they not discuss current events that affect their lives?
