Black Relationships : QUIT STARIN' AND JUST SPEAK.....SHOOOOOT

multiple realities too.

i think you would look sexy in restraints

naw, but a change in tune might be nice

i think you gotta be non black to know that

lets see, i have maturity, discipline, control and knowledge, where does that leave me?

i'll show you mine if you show me yours..........

Agreed. But that's not the end of the rules of engagement though. One still has an obligation to the integrity of themselves, along with their perspective, as well as the discussion itself.

This is what I've spoken on several times, in the past: holding oneself accountable for what one says.

You simply cannot expect to wave your "opinion" around like a spiked bat, and not expect some reprocussion to be born from such an act.

That can also what is meant by indirectly "causing offense to other posters", as you said.

To whom is this directed: The so-called "offender" or the offended? Because these designated parties can literally switch hats in the middle of the discussion, as has been repeatedly demonstrated here.

If I think it best to "ignore" or not respond to someone, then I have enough "control" and "discipline" (despite the nay-sayers) to do just that. There are about 3 or 4 people that I'm doing that to on here. No one is making me push the "Post Reply" button.

People respond, simply because they choose to. From what I understand, people whose screen names are highlighted in green, have the option of "ignoring" whomever they choose.

Dear Sister, I implore you to take the time to ask yourself, what's really going on the the minds of others.

True indeed, and they have that right. No complaints whatsoever on that aspect.

I just do not understand from whence all this emotional attachment to people most of us have not even met, nor possibly will nevr meet, comes.

I am perfectly capable of debating with people, be it in a "heated" tone, or totally dispassionate, and not become emotionally attached to that person, or to the discussion. In fact, I'm totally un-emotional right now.

If anything, I'm a little sleepy, from working late last night. I honestly don't have the energy to devote to such an emotional endeavor.

But c'est la vie.

ROTFLMBAO!!!

Not touching that one.

True indeed.

So it's beginning to appear.

Probably the same place that it leaves me, since I have all those things as well......She's just refusing to see it.

And on that note, I think I'll leave the room.

Do you see how I'm not saying much of anything to you now, but you're still not satisfied about something. What do you want?

naw, it's a warm furry thing commonly referred to as a *****.... :grin:
