BS WS and lets not forget the children.... I can barely read a post without someone calling someone else bitter... and people that use that term on THIS BOARD don't even come close to getting the meaning..of this board... there's tons of boards to wallow in bitterness and toss that term around but it certainly shouldn't be this one. if you find someone that is bitter!!!! [color:"purple"]HELP THEM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD [/color] Put your weapons down and use this board for what it is meant to be.... You can't have it both ways... you can't wah wah wah wah cry this a support board... (which I barely think it is ) and then call someone bitter who is/has going through [email]HE@@[/email] you wanna post here... then help don't harm And no one has yet to show me how calling someone BITTER helps ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time I start to read a post thinking about throwing my PITIFUL two cents....I get stumped by some noxious accusation of bitter this or bitter that gggrrrrhhhh if people want to spend their time here throwing around the term bitter...then lets hang the whole thing up.... CAUSE IT HELPS NO ONE....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some one please press the play button and start Bob Dylans version of THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. ps. NOT from a bitter BS...

MelodyLane Member M Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 92,985 Likes: 1 Texas	I have noticed that the term "bitter BS" is usually used by a person who is told something they don't want to hear in order to dismiss that BS when the facts won't serve them. They can't refute their facts, so figure that a personal attack will suffice. It is a defensive measure that is always very transparent. They couldn't possibly know if the person is "bitter," nor is it even relevant to any given issue.

OP ark^^ Member A Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 5,906	so I guess the concensus is that people are controlled by other people... that people ONLY respond in a certain way because someone MADE them do so..... how awful of me to suggest we quit using the word bitter.. how horribly awful of me... I bet TOW is laughing their asses off at these boards lately... confirms and justifies all that they love to propagandanize... If you post here you should definitely be RESPECTFUL of the beliefs of the author and owner of these boards.. IF your mission here is to debate the fundamentals of this boards components it is crazy to me... Which has nothing to do with not having different ideas...but they should be presented clearly as NOT (if that is the case) what the board fundamentally states.. I'm sure I have hundreds of posts that go against Harley advice...but I hope and am mindful that each time I give such ADVICE I cleary state so and as to why I believe so... We might as well conclude that people have affairs because their spouses MADE and FORCED them to do it.. ARK

That's my perception. I will admit I may not always have psoted it that way and if that is the case, please accept my apologies. ****************edit********** Last edited by Justuss; 03/17/06 12:47 PM.
