Shannon-
I just wanted to say for the record that I dont hate you at all, dont dislike you, and youve always been very nice to me. I dont hold the same opinion that some share in the room- in which I dont hold against them, they too are my friends. The conversations and all between you and them, dont involve me and I hold each individual as that, they are strictly accounted for by their own actions, yourself included.
As I sit back here and read some of these things that have been written, it brings back a very unhappy time in my life that some of the other people in the room share with me. There was a time, that because of ME, many people couldnt stand a certain female in the room b/c she seemed to take a certain man from NE away from me. I lowered MYSELF to the point where I told everyone what had happened and as a result, had many people so mad at her that she refused to come to MLB for she knew that she would be bashed all to hell for even coming in. YES, she hurt me, yes, he hurt me, but in the end, what had happened was not at anyones fault, it just happened and I felt horrible (To that CERTAIN FEMALE: I am STILL VERY, VERY sorry). The point of that story.....all people have feelings and I know, in my heart, that the person who said those terrible things about you, it will come back to haunt them, if they are a truly 'good' person.
Another fast story....geez, I have Miditis too (lol)...not so long ago, I was the butt of so many peoples notsoniceness(beat that one Tribey), I was the slut, the whore, the cyberslut of MLB...I had a bunch of people who hated me, and for what reason? They hated me because of what they heard from this person who heard it from another person. The real situation had nothing to deal with but 2 people in whom I cared deeply for but couldnt commit to either one of them. Yes, again, I hurt some people but let me tell you, I can fully relate to what you must be feeling now as you read some of these as I had read a copied conversation taking place between two people and had it emailed to me. To this day, I can recall all of the negative, mean, short words of being called the 'c' word and it hurts me to see someone else, still having to endure what is being said about them (OK, so maybe this doesnt make total sense but I just got up and havent had a cup of coffee yet so try to enlighten me some). My point to this one is that through all of that....all of the pain that was thrown my way, there were some really great people who DIDNT share the same attitude that so many felt towards me, some people who actually cared and emailed me on a consistent basis, THOSE PEOPLE are true, real friends.
I think so many of us have been hurt through chat at some point or another or in my case, a few more times than I would like to admit. I unfortunately, have been at both sides of that spectrum and no matter which side you are on, it still hurts.
Just remember that even though many seem not to care, they have to live with what has been said, as do you, but not everyone shares that same opinion. We dig our own beds and a time comes where we have to lie in that bed.
PS Coffee run so I can actually make some sense of what the heck I just typed.
