My bad.

2long, I made no assumptions about Orchid, I only go by what I see, and that is that is that her post was incendiary. And I suspect is why it was edited.

I assume it was edited because of the link 2 a locked thread.

And Orchid posted her clarification. THAT is what I'm referring 2.

Assumption engine OFF.

Here, here 2long, starfish and orchid!

I may be a "newbie" to this board, but I have certainly done my share of reading on relationships, visited a counselor or two to learn more about myself and spent plenty of time on my edumacation.

*Some* of you seriously act like your need to be right overshadows anything else, including the delusionment, pain and panic a newly betrayed spouse feels. The focus of this board is to help and encourage. Not all thoughts of disagreement need to be shared...it's called self-control and tact.

Orchids post had good intentions. Why can't it be left at that?

Grow up people.

Mel:

- Observation.

- Interpretation.

- Conclusion.

Parts of an objective process. One hopes that the observations one makes are correct. That way, even if the interpretations and conclusions one draws based on the observations is later demonstrated 2 be in error, the observations still have value and can be re-examined. Rather than having 2 start over from scratch.

That's cool with me, 2Long. I think her post was incendiary, and so did the others who responded. We have no idea why Justuss edited it, nor does it matter to me. But we can safely assume there was a problem or it wouldn't have been edited.

"Its all over and we can move on. "
~quote from Melody Lane

The most obvious choice would be"the forum".

Did you have something else in mind when you used the term?

Do you speak for starfish?

So did *some* of the others who responded.
There were others who did not see it that way.

Given enough heat and flames, you can make just about anything burn.

That doesn't prove that that which was burned was actually incendiary.

It does prove that if you can gather up enough flame-throwers and add enough heat and fire, that you can make anything look like a kindling.

And the flames that result have little to do with the initial post's combustibility. It does seem to be a well oiled plan to shout down and shut down opinions some don't care for.

Did I miss the election that made you the arbiter of who could respond?

In all seriousness,

It's best not to take one's own replies to seriously.

It usually turns out to be a serious misstake.

Seriously.

BTW Mel,
Rehash is as sacred to an Irishman as refried beans to a Texan. Sa Dere!

That sounds pretty dramatic, graplin. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> However, I think that common sense dictates that linking to a thread that WAS LOCKED because it was incendiary is also incendiary. Nor was Orchid "shouted down" with a "well oiled plan." All the posts I saw were very polite. Good grief, get a grip on yourself.. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

To all,

I apologize in advance for this response not keeping in context with the original subject of this thread. However the statements that will be discussed below is something I need to do. I realize I may or may not get edited. It is my hope this ends the misunderstandings and disrespectful assertions.

Below are my responses to Mel’s posts primarily directed to what I originally posted.


Orchid: Mel, It is obvious the posters deleted their own posts. Sorry if I wasn't clear that I realized it. 7 out of 18 had their responses removed meant they were removed. I didn't mean edited, I said removed..... minor detail. You chose to bring this to my attention in a blunt manner that’s your choice. Ok. Point taken.

I never disputed the fact that my post was edited. I posted a locked thread and referenced comments about it. Let’s move on to the next point.



Orchid: Mel, Now as to your statement regarding me making an incendiary remarks and your subsequent hi-lited definition. You actually believe that word describes what I posted?

REALLY? Hm………….

That is a serious charge. The definition suggests malicious intent.

As a result of using the ‘perfect word, have you asked the mods and admin to have ‘Orchid’ removed from MB as a result? Because if you really believe you have correctly defined my post as such, you may have obligated yourself to make that request for the sake of keeping MB a safe place for all.

This is not a threat. If you honestly believe I post ‘incendiary remarks’, then you have the right to take the corrective action you have at your disposal.

I hope this ends this discussion. For those who wish to continue it, please send your comments to the mods. It is important this get back to the original intended subject.

Orchid.

I sort of doubt you can speak for her, can you? Can you read her mind?

When I said "we" I just meant those folks who showed up late (like me) and were confused about what was "left" of the thread....you know....everyone who wasn't simultaneously editting themselves (?) because they're really the peace keepers.

This is flat out weird.

Orchid, yes I do very much think your remarks and your link to the locked thread was INCENDIARY and I was quite surprised that you did it. I don't know if you intended it that way, but it WAS that way, IN FACT. If the previous thread was so incendiary that it had to be locked, then simple common sense dicates that pointing it out and linking to it would only achieve the same end. I was AMAZED that you did that, especially when you complain quite often about board controversy. Your actions don't quite line up with your WORDS.

And yes, the other posters remarks were removed, but not by a MOD. They were removed by the posters in an effort to keep the peace. But as we can see here, the goal of MANY on this thread is NOT to keep peace, but to INCITE. As they do OFTEN.

Nor do I need to notify a mod, Orchid,because apparently, the MOD saw it on his own and felt there was something WRONG with it and removed it himself.

My favorite rehash is done in a frying pan with a dropped egg on top with ketchup. Ummmm....

Most children as young as grade school are able to determine the object of a pronoun in context.

Are you having trouble following the word "we" which you just used yourself as evidenced in your quotes above?

Or are you of the belief that it must mean something nefarious when anyone other than you uses it? If you didn't mean "the forum" when you used the word "we" - then I ask you:

"WE?" Who is the "WE"?

Why are you asking ME when you imagine you speak for others? Maybe you should get your own show as a psychic medium? yikes .. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
