    I have a psychiatrist.

    I was honestly only trying to share some coping mechanisms. I'm sorry if I was out of line.

    I'm very sorry for your loss, giddyup.

    And I will apologize for my wording, but I really mean it when I say that every post I've seen in the past few weeks from you seems angry. Very angry.

    I'm not sure if that is on purpose. I'll assume by this post that it isn't.

    Yes, I have read the Debate threads. That was half the reason for the post.

    You know what, I don't give a crap what this cardpire thinks. The point was and still is that I saw someone constantly posting negatively. There was a pattern. I didn't want to get involved with other discussions, but I found it extremely inappropriate here. I hope this may be an eye opener for him.


    We all get angry at times.

    I honestly don't see why his post was angry or bitter, I found it rather beautiful. What's your problem with it?

    It's cool Batman. I was not put off by your comments; I just thought they were 100% Batmanish! I don't think you have a mean bone in your body.... until it comes to politics!

    Ya it's bad. You come off as a douche.

    And chill out, Rasputin. SMH.

    It's funny that you made the thread about me and in doing so called me a narcissist. My posts over the last many weeks have not been angry, except over a thing that will always make me angry and should make us all angry: bigotry. Even on those topics though I have remained excessively calm, especially relative to my former self.

    If anyone is out of line in this thread it's you. One of the most egregious tangents I've ever seen a poster spin off on. This is a thread about giddyup, his friend, prayers and grief. And you made it a platform to slam me when I was pretty clearly only trying to express my sympathy and suggest some coping mechanisms as I am way too practiced in losing loved ones.

    Back to the thread please. If you want to discuss my personality further Rasputin, I suggest you start another one or, better, just flame me through P/M's or rep.

    Again, all my best wishes of healing and fond remembrance go out to giddyup and his family and to John and his. I am deeply sorry you are all going through this.

    There wasn't anything bitter or angry about Batman's post. Going off on that tangent made no sense. Not sure what the point of all that was.



    giddy, really sorry to hear this. Just a sad occurrence and really eye opening to how quickly things can change. Thoughts out to you and your friend's family.

    My condolences, reminded me of my close family friends, family of 5 which used to be 6. They have 3 sons that are older than me, and they had one more son who I've never met that was my age. He choked on a popcorn and the nanny either didn't see it or didn't know what to do. Really tragic.

    Wow. I didn't get that out of Batman's post at all. I think you are reading into his post things that clearly aren't there. Batman was relaying his own experiences with loss to help giddyup deal with his own loss.

    Thoughts and prayers to John's friends and family.

    Well his interests include death on his page, so unless he's a Doctor....
    Anyways I didn't really think what he said there was mean, tho I get
    where you're coming from Rasputin12.

    I'm sorry for the loss of John, to the family, trust in your faith, live everyday and here's a little story I was told yesterday....

    "So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.

    Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

    When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

    Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."-Chief Tecumesh-1768-1813
    (of the Shawnee nation)
