Thanks so much Shellie for your defense-I do appreciate it. I agree with you and I did feel offended and hurt by the things you stated(that James wrote). I am a sensitive woman, like you, and that's a good thing if I may say so. Not to be weird but I luv ya for that, sincerely. :-)
Cam,
You are a pharmacist and very intelligent and book-smart, but you need to look at the feelings side of things and get off that soapbox of people saying what they feel when it is hurtful and incorrect. When you were getting email from people saying what they felt and that was offensive, your feelings were hurt because you knew they were g.damn wrong. And I truly felt bad for what you were going through but said nothing [because I was not in the "in group" here and was afraid to say anything at the time.] I have not been supported much at all as you have been here. Shellie has been a breath of fresh air to me today and her words of support made my day as I lost a good friend today-my good buddy died. Sorry to use the example I used regarding your life and again, sorry. But I want you to know I have feelings and hope you feel what I do at this moment. I want you to know how I feel and I know what you felt before.:(I have felt like an outsider here and been thrown aside like my words meant nothing to anyone. I was very supportive and stayed up many nights answering troubled posters because I felt where they were coming from and worried about them, too.
I have a lot of education,too, like you (maybe more)but have been ignored mostly (maybe I'm culturally different). I am assertive and stand up for myself but I don't need to keep knocking someone down over and over. James has not let up on me and could have used different terms toward me. And after he downed me others started. Or so it really seemed and yes, I felt very hurt and alone and frankly, frightened. I think you are adding fuel to the James' fire. I was and am offended and you are wrong if the words you used are describing me-and you don't know me the least bit. Feelings, Cam, think about it good and hard and please don't jump on me right away like you did to Shellie. Think, think, think. I think, Cam, that you could use therapy, too, (like we ALL do)and this is not meant as an insult. I have read many of your posts and I think you could use good help-you are suffering, my man, and so am I.
Get into your feelings and you will see others feelings as well. Not to say that you NEVER are into feelings-there are just some you are ignoring. There is more than one side to the story as in every story.Lastly, I am not coming back here because this place does not make me feel welcome any more. There seems to be a popular clique here and I never fit into them anyhow. Oh well, I'll go elsewhere and no big deal either.
I never asked for thanks nor do I want it but I gave my heart and soul here just like many others.
Dr. Bob, Shellie,
Goodbye and good luck.:@) Thanks for letting me know I matter.
