Holy Shit!
Barb, I did not mean to hurt you or your feelings.
I love you.
I'm on Eastern Standard time...it's 5:35 PM Saturday January 7, 2012. I swear to god that I have not been to this thread since I tossed-up that GIF.
I was just goofing around.
Honestly,
artisticsolution stated above better than I could,
I hope you don't leave the forum,
Barbara. I really think
Bill posted that innocently and that he would have probably never posted such a thing if he really knew what it meant. I think the pic just meant to imply that some things which may have been said before....don't need to be said again. I don't think he meant to show cruelty toward animals. But now that you brought it up , I can see that those types of picture are horrible. I would not have even see it that way before you mentioned it...so ty you for opening my eyes. Perhaps
Bill didn't see it that way either?
...and yet, just as my first read, your exchange with
AMod may lend you insight into yourself.
I think
AMod is spot-on in his assessment of you. Not to be mean but I think he is speaking the truth in an articulate and useful way.
This an example of your, "Philosophy is harmoniously constituted, not mean, or boisterous, or unjust." and "philosophy insists that the philosopher should have a naturally well-proportioned and gracious mind"?
So much for your message from the 'greats' as your words belie them.
If you'd bothered to note I said I'd ask but I think I'll not bother now.
Next time start a webblog as that is where your stuff should be. Just an opinion I agree with.
Happy editing!
AMod.
p.s.
So you are just a drama-queen then? As if you have all your words, which is pretty obvious from your cut-paste approach, what need to declare your intention to leave nor your request for help nor your mercantile offer.
I don't think I can sound or act more like a dick in what I have caused here but I think you could grow by listening to what
AMod has told you.
I'm sorry about my crassness...eggs/omelets.
Perhaps some good can come out of this...
