Would you stop being such a nit and just be a nice person for once? I'm sure you're not like this offline, right? That can wear a person down.

Hello Everyone-

I must apologize as well. I may have overstepped my bounds. It is not and was not my intension to offend anyone. Now I'll tell you why I apologized. I fostered Whilhelm's decision to post a general apology on this thread. Whilhelm's post took courage I'm sure. We all make mistakes. There should be no continued blame or side taking for what happened. To do so would only fuel the fire, not put it out. What's done is done....it's the past. The intent was to salvage what's left and move forward with peace restored in our forum. There was no intent for this to escalate into anything negative. Still, there are things that need to be expressed and received. Surely if we were willing to forgive GentileBen and Hotdogg....then forgiving Whilhelm should be possible as well. With that being said, we should all be mindful of our words and tone with eachother. When we are expressing a distaste for something or offering a constructive criticism it should always be respectful, even when we disagree or we are upset! Agree to disagree on an issue and move on, this is always a viable option. No harm - no foul.

At times our words have less value than the toxic environment they create on an ongoing basis.

I love this forum. It has helped me through a very ugly time in my life. A time when I didn't confide in my family or my friends....but I could come here with you guys and it was okay.

Wilhelm, you threatened me on some thread. I can't remember which one. You did it twice. Now want to hear something. I thought you were a child and playing around. That is why I told you to go ahead and tell the Administrator. You did not scare me. You were threatening to tell the teacher. Children play games like this, not adults. If I had to worry about someone telling the Administrator on me for everything that I say then I would be looking over my shoulder with every word that I said. My words would have no meaning. I would be a puppet. I would be worried about the warden and maybe the trustee who would tell on me.... But dam, I don't live that way.....Whatever will be, will be......you dig......Honey, this is just who I am......Take Care, Caroline

Hello CarolineWH-
I just have to clarify this with you. I know we were having some very silly moments as well as a little miscommunication. It was way to funny to me and I thought you were amused too! Are you speaking of a different incident? Is this why you reacted the way you did that night and removed your posts with me, because of some previous incidents with someone else? I am confused because when I first read this post it was addressed to Whilhelm but it had my quote. I thought we were cool.

No, I am sorry. At first I addressed it to you by mistake and deleted it and referred to Wilhelm. No, I am not sure what post I refer to when he threatened me. BUT you did get me too. I thought you were chewing me out for being a dirty old lady or something and telling me your story of your "hot life". Just a misunderstanding....I guess I am still in the baby stage of life here... a bit "naive".....

Caroline-
It was not my intention to get you. If only you would have just read all of my post first you would have known....and to be honest that was funny as well. I think it was the "doggy style hurts" post. When I read your "hot" post....WOW! At that point I was invested to share my "hot life" too. When you said you wanted to die that way....I laughed so hard it was criminal. I am a graphic person so that image in my mind was just way too much.

unbelievable.
