It's Your Forum

[Kitt]

This is your forum and so it's in your interest to speak up for yourselves when challenged, and also for others who participate on this board, if and when you believe that they have been unfairly attacked by a poster. In the 'Pledge' thread one poster, Jimbo, labeled me a bully to the young people on the board, and a friend to the Ku Klux Klan. I emphatically came to my own defense about the manipulative and atrocious accusation regarding the Ku Klux Klan. But, I was disappointed that I had to go it alone. Some squabbles are not worth entering into but there is a line, and with that accusation it was as completely crossed as is possible to do. If any of you were insulted to such a venemous degree, and I were to read it, I would have come to your defense, as I have on occasion. I would not have let it pass and I would have chastised the offender for the sake of the individual who was attacked, and for the sake of the civility needed to maintain a decorum that we can all be comfortable with.

I helped raise my two daughters. From the time that they were very young I treated them with respect and took them seriously when they voiced their opinons. I challenged them to explain their thoughts and elaborate. With sincerity, I listened and conversed and they inturn challenged me in the same way. They're grown now, and partly because of that respectful upbringing our 'father to daughters' relationship includes being very close friends and confidants. I know they would tell you all that I was in no way a bully to them. And, I'll defend myself once again, I am not a bully to the young people on this board. I simply treat you all like thinking people and challenge you to back up what you express. I'm not posting this only to defend myself, but also to bring to your attention that what goes on here, you all are responsible for. If you don't challenge someone who unfairly and maliciously invokes the Ku Klux Klan into the conversation, and then has the nerve to go on and call the person who he has insulted, a bully, you're allowing lies and manipulation to degrade this forum to what some would feel to be intollerably rancorous. So, you might want to take this opportunity to ... speak up!

thats all he does. he posts these long drawn out things that could be summed up in one sentance. read some of the **** he writes... it's the most crap you've ever heard. watch when he gets bak hes gonna post some long thing calling me like "An uneducated child, oblivious to the world around you" or something like that, and think i give a rats ass as to what his opinion is... Because if i even tried to defend myself, hes get mad, because in his world hes the only one whos right.

I was thinking of replying to the Pledge thread again last night, but I wanted to think of the right thing to say. Instead of putting it over there, I would like to put it here. I don't think it would really matter which topic I posted this in, because I think it could fit in any topic.

Every person on here has a brain and an opinion. I don't know about everybody else on here, but isn't it boring if you have a hundred people and they think the same way as you do? I like to have those topics like the Pledge and the God thread because of the fact that so many people post and we all have different opinions on it.

I really hate it when someone posts a reply to a post hassling the poster because they don't agree with the above opinion. I don't think Kitt is trying to brainwash anybody. I think Kitt posts all the articles because of the fact that most of the members on this board are relatively young, and when it comes to subjects like politics and such- so I think he posts those articles and things to help the people that would like to reply to something but just doesn't know much about the topic.

I can be quite a stubborn person myself. If I know exactly what my opinion is on one certain subject than I don't think anybody could change it. I still like to read the different opinions and thinking, that the person has proven a really good point and that sticks in my mind along with my opinion.

Like I've said before, I see everybody on this board as an adult. Most of the people on this board are fun loving people that usually doesn't get into too many battles. I enjoy chatting with many of you on here, so I would hate to see anybody leave because someone pissed them off in a topic or 3 or 4 topics.

I hope this sounds okay, and doesn't make anybody think I'm trying to put on airs or anything. I think I've said everything I wanted to say, and I hope this wasn't too long.

for hte first time, and probably the last, i agree w/ you..............

Kitty, i usually find all the stuff you say very good,a little serious, but still I look @ it w/ respect... but this was a little over the top

But like always..... i dind't know the meaning of half the words!

[MrsGarrettRocksMySocks]

Well, see, the only thing is, kittflynn, when I do that...it doesn't seem like people understand me...ya know? You should know, because half the people who posted just said they didn't get your post...maybe they just Don't LISTEN to me...who knows...but see, i got into a "discussion" with someone once, i tried to apologize a few times, and I tried to explain myself a few times, but see, that person was just too stubborn to READ what I said...otherwise they would have had the reason for the things that they kept posting over and over and over again.I think, from now on, unless someone badmouths Mrs. G...I'll just keep my mouth shut...and my keyboard quiet...

Well kittflynn, I'm sorry if you felt that no one came to your defense in the "Pledge" thread. I thought you held your end of the argument very well, and therefore didn't need any help. Your opinions were duly noted when we traded posts about the subject, and I thought you argued your points very well.

I do like the fact that there are many threads devoted to miscellaneous subjects other than sitcoms, but perhaps the subject matter becomes a bit too personal for some folks. Feelings can get hurt and people sometimes make unfair accusations or say the wrong things.

Perhaps to avoid any more slanderous remarks, we should stick to the subject matter that this message board was designed for.

It is Televison, right?

I always thought it was for everyday Chit Chat. Anything can be discussed at any time by anyone. Not just TV.

I usually do come to the defense of people being unfairly attacked- when I know of it. I'm afraid I never read what Jimbo said to you.

Well, I do hope that there are more tolerant people on these boards so we don't have to stand up for ourselves often. But you know, Kitt has a point and I found nothing wrong with what he said. No one needs to be made to feel bad just because they have a different opinion. I think the political and religion type topics are healthy for good debate. No slander allowed.
