An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.

No no, you got it all wrong. If we all disagree with her, we are a clique. If we agree with her, we are individuals.

I wasn't looking for agreement, I was looking for dialogue. I got mockery.

Were you really looking for dialogue? Whenever any opposing opinion was presented to you, your answer was that we are in denial. How does one and why should one continue the "dialogue" when anything said will be shot down with "you're in denial"?

What exactly do you want people to say here?

Practicing what is preached would be a good start.

That she is right and we are all wrong. That's what this is all about. We have seen it many many times before, with many members, in many threads. That is one thing some of the newer members don't know about.

you still waiting to be shouted down by the peanut gallery, sis?

I wonder if there is any whine to go with that cheese?

This may be a popular sentiment, but it is false. Why is it ok for you to label me and explain me, but you're repulsed by any perceived effort to label you and explain you by others?

If the newbies aren't seeing this, they only know that this never happens.

What I'm waitng for is the mature and reasoned exchange of diversity of thought I've been told can happen. It must only happen on the phone . . .

If any "newbies" have been swayed to "your side" by this pathetic exchange, then good riddance. Great way to unite the board - kudos!

Sorry bash if u want-- but i posted this in OT

Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

“A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.” The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associate will change

Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb, will want you to craw. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dreams. Those that don’t increase you, will eventually decrease you.

Consider this: Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.

With some people you spend and evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.

Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

So labeling you as "right" is now an insult? You're streatching here. You labeled cabal, clique, popular girls, denial. No one has said anything of the sort to you.

There has been quite a bit.

The only person that thinks its false is you, there are many people who have publicly stated this sentiment and similar ones only to be told they are in denial or a troll. I am not repulsed by anyone saying anything about me. You just keep making the same statements over and over, no one is agreeing with you. We have heard what you have to say and we disagree but you won't quit. You have to get the last word in. You don't even understand the concept of agreeing to disagree. You think we are a clique, fine. You can keep moaning and groaning about it here and not contributing anything else as we go about the forum and talk to others. If you want to be included in conversation then move on to the next subject. You keep trying to make yourself a victim here and NO ONE is buying it.

Alright then. Can we agree to just ignore each other then please? I'll be up front here. I don't like you. I will refrain from commenting on your comments. I would like something in exchange though - that you refrain from posting snide remarks about the cabal every chance you get. Deal?

Let's say there are no "sides" since no one wants to admit to a cabal. No cabal, no "unpopular" posters. Simple as that. But it should be so simple as right or wrong. I'm saying let's use some of that individual thinking to sort it out. So far, there has been insufficent amounts of reason, lots of piling on.
