Posts that attempt to direct the forum NEVER fly.
Let's move on and let this thread go in peace.

So, Magnolia, can we "lock it"?Seems it's not quite ready to be locked yet... I have to wonder about this thread... how long do people have to beat dead horses... before it occurs to them... "Wow, the horse is dead! Why am I wearing myself out here?", she said as she beat the horse, long since dead. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Ever notice how sometimes people skip right over an apology... wanting BLOOD!! Focussing on the negative... needing to keep hitting the horse!!I guess I don't quite get the above statement. Is this somehow a poke at me? You asked for the thread to be locked and you seem to be the only one "needing to keep hitting the horse!!! You have five (actually now seven & counting...) posts AFTER you asked for the thread to be locked. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <small>[ June 01, 2004, 05:04 PM: Message edited by: Chris -CA123 ]</small>

I just remember the ones who particularly insulted or hurt me. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often...and that makes it easier to remember the few who have. Your communication style, IMO, is very abrasive in many instances. And not very empathetic or compassionate if a subject conflicts with your code of living. But.... I have seen small glimpses here and there of a change occurring...in you. I think you're trying, and seeking. That's a good thing. I don't like your new thread though. It kinda negates the good intentions I saw emerging. Oh well. Keep trying, I think you were on the right track with self-reflection. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Actually, the definition of hypocrisy is (from Merriam-Webster's, at www.m-w.com) "a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion"
