Internet Love

[Ban Hammer 13,349]

Now that we are back on topic, can we find this hairy man an internet love ? He looks so lonely.

bonus points if she's a barber.

Idocare, this is about internet love , not German soldier ramblings. Unless you want an internet romance with a German soldier perhaps ?

cheers !

What AOS drama ?

what german soldiers? we have some in here?

My apologies to engage in off topic talk to the OP ..........and Boaz, you are making a fool of yourself with your last post in front of the entire

forum. Did you forget my apology and has the bitterness rubbed off on you now ? Some people sure hold grudges. If you consider me a leader

have at it but I am merely being carried away in fun by the flow of the thread with other posters. Go ahead, single me out I don't care

Peace !

Hey guys lets move the party to the cyber cafe...............

Just making sure ...... are you calling me a fool? Omoba are simply bitter because some one finally has the guts to not 'go with the flow with you' (jump on your bandwago?). By the way, I have reread the postings, and I don't recall you ever apologizing to me for implying that I am jumping on the bandwagon or anything else directed to me. Did I overlook your apology? If so, please direct me to it, and I will graciously acknowledge your apology.

Oh - to answer your question .. No, I am not bitter.

Take care!

OK ... for all you folks who are sending the PM's, and burning the phone lines .... stop hiding! You may be bullied, and psyched to believe that things may/may not be what they are but speak up! It's OK .......

Why are you encouraging people who want anonymity to post? What are you trying to prove? It seems you are trying to perpetuate and continue this stupid and childish "he said, she said" . If other VJ'rs are benefiting from pm'ing idocare or you or anyone else...then good for them! They are grown folk and can do whatever they want. This whole issue started because MANY of us (who were not afraid to speak up) felt idocare was not telling the whole story, and doing so with hateful undertones.

So...unless these so-called "silent" VJ'ers are wanting to share their stories in a real and honest way..then I don't see how that has anything to do with your defense of idocare. If I was one of those people I wouldnt share publicly either, for fear people like idocare would resort to "I told u so's" and continued negativity instead of support and encouragement.

Peace, Love and Happiness

Ebonyqueen,

By no means am I trying to perpetuate and continue anything...... The purpose of encouraging others to speak out is to share the challenges they are facing. By speaking out others on this board would know better than to refer to others as having mental issues, wearing a mask, jumping on a bandwagon, etc. These hurtful comments are often made based on what people know. Obviously others do not know the entire story of many members on this board. Which explains why we have so many "silent VJ'ers", and why (based on some of these comments) people are afraid to talk about what is true to them.

As for the claiming that I am defending Idocare. Please take the time to re-read my comments. I have simply stated that we should respect individuals right to express an opinion. Not label them because their viewpoint may be different. I've said in the past, and I will say again - the timing of some of Idocare's post may not be the best. But in this particular topic (of whom she is the author) things are certainly in line with regards to her original comments.

Idocare,

Thanks again for starting this post. I feel so liberated. This evening I have received several phone calls and PM's. During one of the conversations I was referred to as 'the sleeping giant'. LOL. Yes, I do have a voice and a passion for others. Even when I may not agree, I believe in being respectful to others. But oh well, to me that's nothing in comparison to implications stating that although you are part of the minority you are 'jumping on a bandwagon', and 'need to do your research.' Or being questioned as to whether or not you've read the entire post; or implications that you have a mental problem; or "If nothing else, this thread has revealed some heavy duty realities and exposed people for what they really are behind their smug masks.". LOL .... what mask are you wearing? if you (or anyone else it applies to) can get through all of that then need I say again .... tell YOUR STORY.

Oh - have you noticed how the strict, always right, no one elses opinion matters Leader has yet to say or chastize anyone regarding ?? But it's all good, I enjoyed seeing the hairy photos, and having my husband who studied in Germany for several years translate some of the jokes. Again - thank you so much!

OK ... for all you folks who are sending the PM's, and burning the phone lines .... stop hiding! You may be bullied, and psyched to believe that things may/may not be what they are but speak up! It's OK .......

Perservance - thank you for your PM's. Sorry I did not have a chance to respond.

Boaz,

Dont thank me yet, I PMed you for a private discussion between you and I, you continued to correspond with me through the thread, you have made it perfectly clear how you feel about my opinions. I am not going to get back on the crazy train, I got that train today for a very good reason... you have your opinions I have mine, obviously they differ, I am a strong believer of agree to disagree.

Peace

Thank you.

The only third world country I have been to is Africa, so that's the only country that I can speak on, and while there I found the people to be really nice, actually some of the younger Nigerian couples here in Seattle that I know already have houses built back home.

Africa is a continent not a country Africa is made up of 53 countries

Sorry, its one of my pet peeves.

Peace

No I am not calling you a fool but I think your behavior is provocative and foolish and others will not look at that favorably.

I don't get your not going with the flow comment( bandwagon ) It is very fragmented in sentence structuring therfore the core of meaning got lost somewhere.

I said ,before jumping on a bandwagon you should do some research. You want an apology for that ?

Wow, if that is offensive to you then you must be very sensitive. I am not apologizing for speaking my mind but I am willing to apologize to having offended you. I meant what I said and sorry you took offense to that but it is the truth as I see it.

There is stuff in my box you have no clue about and if you did you wouldn't feel compelled to defend someone so quickly and that what I meant by that comment.

I said I apologized to Idocare for mentioning

mental issues and the apology was not directed at you because the remark wasn't.

Now you are derailing the thread and are not staying on topic of the OP , therefore my suggestion to do so. That was your

request now can you abide by it ?

Stop acting like a disgruntled postal worker perpetuating an old issue from yesterday. This is a new day. Let it go.

Does that make you feel important to focus on me in your every post ?

i know how to find them....i'll hide and sound like a beer!

[Ta Ta 1]

Omoba,

Still I won't report you. I'm gonna report you ....I'm gonna report you whaaa whaaa whaaa

We Destiny, welcome back, it's good to know that all is well in your relationship, some are not as fortunate as you. Welcome back !

I believe that certain folks are being very disrespectful to those who husbands are here and they are on the brink of divorce. ( Yes there are some currently evaluating their options and no that a divorce is necessary )

But hey that's only my oppinon, I know I have no control over you and I'm not gonna report you!!!

Act out little person, throw your tantrum, hey, all eyes on you..........lol

Ok Idocare whatever you say but I feel like I am in Kindergarten now. I leave the tantrum throwing to you.

You do it so well. I have no problem with you calling me a little person , fire away. Here is some more rope........

The correct word in your above sentence is Know , not no. I do wish spell check was utilized more here so people can understand

what you are trying so hard to convey. I still didn't get the soldier remark.

Anyway have a better day today than you had yesterday !

they would all come running then.

Peace, I am out of here ! Boaz and Idocare the entire sub-saharan forum would appreciate it if you would let this old issue go.

You are trying to make this a power play between you and I and it is no longer a discussion.

Now you two can go back on topic about internet love as you requested. if you have further issues with me pm me, as this

arguing is not good for this forum. This is a new day !

Omoba,

Idontcare sounds like she is confused whether to report you or not report you, O little person.

Boaz wants an appology. That is my take on their posts. As to the soldiers, I have no clue and maybe that is intended to be a mystery.

Idontcare, if you feel the need to hit the report button at any given moment, you can report me as well. Im Nagishkaw. I don't move.

This thread is now closed pending review.

Edited after reviewed.

I will be honest here, in being that very few incidents are brough to mod's attention here, I am unfamiliar with the backstory. What I can see, is a whole lot of arguing : suggestion where to post, what is generalizing, accusations of mental illness, accusations of being ignorant of facts, allegations that some might have wool pulled over their eyes, PMs discussed as a way of character assassinations and used as weapons, on and on.

Let's all try to be a little kinder as many many posts on this thread are antagonistic and we could really get on quite well without them. My best suggesiton would be to agree to disagree and be done with it.
