Oh no.....I didn't find you offensive at all!!! Sorry. I was reading and then I clicked on someone's profile and then from there I found another thread.....and you know how it is, one continuous thing. So, so, sorry, but maybe it's cause I know you, but you never seem offensive to me! I even replied to your "Ugly" thread last night and apologized before I knew what it meant!!
What you said in that particular thread didn't seem all that offensive to me. Of course, I'm a guy so...I know how you feel. That said, I've disagreed with plenty of stuff you've said on other threads and it never occured to me to attack you for it. There are members of this site who go from thread to thread looking for posts to criticize. When there's no more Pussy11, they find blood elsewhere. Try not to let them get to you - it's the responses to flaming that get people zotted.
I know I'm newer here than you (I am 8 years older, however ) and I'm not trying to patronize you. Just saying, don't let those members ruin your enjoyment of this site. And know that there are members here who don't nitpik about ever damn thing.
Did you ask the person that bothered you why they had a problem with you? (That's usually what I do) It's only happened to me once though and I always go through the journals so it's not a public thing on the boards.
*continued from that Church thread... read my response there first*
I knew it wasn't right for me when I realized how much intolerance took place in the Homily. I was raised to treat everyone equally, yet my parents brought me to a place that preached against homosexuality and birth control? Forget it.
I also took major issue when our diocese changed the Confirmation age from 16 to 14. (Confirmation is where you give yourself to the church). Fourteen-year olds are still under the pressure of their parents. I almost LOST IT when the diocese then thought it would be a wise idea to have Confirmation shortly after First Communion. (First Communion is generally performed around age seven or eight). Get 'em young, I suppose.
Oh...hah... I knew you knew what those things were. I had originally typed that for that thread, so I explained for everyone who didn't know the Sacraments. I just forgot to edit them out when I pasted it.
Oh, I re-read what you wrote and my journal, and we have very similar views. I always figured that as long as I was a good person and tried to help people, I was doing okay.
Even though I'm not very religious anymore, I still pray a rosary if I can't fall asleep. The rhythm and meditation of it calms my brain, and I'm usually drowsy before I'm finished. Also, Busia (my grandmother), gave me the rosary for my First Communion, so it's dear to me.
I actually respect you from the wings FOR "shooting your mouth off" in a respectable and intelligent manner.
The way some others phrase things, which ultimately are not meant to be hurtful or rude for the most part, put me in a somber, if not full-blown heated, mood.
I'd just like to show the world there is such a book as a thesaurus.
