i know i don't fit it...but it's not just here. i don't really fit in anywhere. i haven't been here as long as a few of you have, but i have been here almost 8months and i don't see a lot of forgiveness. i stay off all the other boards because i find the tension intolerable sometimes.
i see people "get over it" maybe? pretend it never happened? or maybe there is more of that stuff beind the scenes?
i don't recall anyone apologizing to me for hurtful things said. That is ok, i don't expect it, like i said to you in chat once, i don't see everyone here as being friends or family. Sure i made some online friends here, but i post here for input/feedback and sharing... i give support and i get support most of the time. i try not to think of it as anything else or it would be very stressful. i don't want any of my energy poured into an "issue" with a stranger.
i like to call horseshit by it's real name but for the sake of civility i don't... which means i don't say anything sometimes. Sometimes i can't be supportive for my own reasons, or have nothing to add.
i think you're a great community member Muffled. But not everyone is or can be all the time... it's always going to be a mixed bag. People who are arogant, people who are submissive, people who are angry, people who are sad... sshit, it's a wonder we can get along at all IMO.
(oh, and btw - F-A-R-T!)
