I have read your responses to Kyellow's thread and was curious...

How's that approach/attitude working for ya? How's that recovery going?

Perhaps I will indulge your unbelievably patronizing tone if you would care to make your question more specific?

Thos of course will answer for himself or not as he likes.

Noodle

No thanks.

As you wish

P.S.

I apologize....my tone was very disrespectful.

I accept, no harm no foul.

Noodle

Thank you.

NOW,

Just so you know, my other post was not aimed at you directly.

It is in response to a growing trend on the board in general..which I believe is polarizing it to such an extent that communication has come to a near halt as a result of the proffered "opposing teams" processing all thoughts offered through a filter of their own dogma and responding ONLY to where that post or poster stands in regard to it.

I come here not to be uniformly supported..or pacified..or agreed with, but to be questioned, engaged, and introduced to thoughts and positions I perhaps have not considered myself..or have dismissed too quickly.

I hate to see breakdown at this level..so I posted. Don't take it too personally.

Noodle

Noodle,

I do agree with you here....(not that it matters <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

I have no idea what to do about it, though. So much of it is just a vicious circle, that the only thing you can do is get off...
I can see everyone's point, most of the time, whether I admit that or oppose them. What that does to me, though, is just drive me crazy! I mean, are we ever going to be able to discover the "truth"? Whose way of thinking is the "correct" way?
I have been told I "think too much", I "over-analyze" things, etc. Yes, I do this....and it has not gotten me anywhere EXCEPT to the conclusion that we are all pretty much the same, and that we are all really in this (life) together. That is a very humbling position to be in, but I'm afraid that is exactly where I need to be in order to look beyond my sins and the sins of my fellow humans . Yet I resist that at every turn. The only thing that keeps everything from falling completely apart, is love.

NOW

NOW/noodle:
I think we should all take notice in this thread--how something that could have turned volatile, ended up in communicating, understanding, and respect. Not even necessarily an agreement. Thank you both. Both of your insights are invaluable to this site.

Are you familiar with the Think Too Much Quotient

[TTMQ] This is a condition in which you go round and round until you are dizzy and have a brain fart and the only cure is to eat food that is bad for you while watching crass banal sitcoms.

Noodle,

Hmmm....reminds me of another thread on this forum!

(See NOW running back to idiotville for some of that cure!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

LMAO! You forgot...with a beer in hand!

(i deleted the sitcom part because i do not do that.)

Lobotomy? High speed collision?

Of course..if that only affected your ability to communicate or to act on your wishes..maybe you'd be stuck with TTMQ full time with NO relief <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> .
