Goodbye

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Okay, I am not so far removed from being obnoxious. But more to the point - you're not, and your posting benefits me.

Stick around.

Thank you, jasd--for being you, for being kind, for being honest, for saying just the right things at just the right times.

See Aubrey, there's a positive reason for you to stay. Your posting benefits other people.

If you feel that negativity and combativeness are rubbing off on you from the forum, maybe you could just avoid the forums where that is the worst. I do. I also drop out of threads on Townhall if they turn nasty.

[phkrause]

Good one Lazarus.

The only board where one might find any spritz. How refreshing! Where else might one be called a “crazy woman” for outpointing the competition? Hoo-ah!

Are you allowed to make a quote such as "crazy woman" here in TownHall? Well ... I guess it was done and not deleted. Hmmm.

[Bravus]

Fake quote

[Woody]

Nothing fake at all.

[Bravus]

Meh, let's not fight about it. I could object to 'out-pointed' above as well, and suggest that opening old wounds is perhaps the least appropriate thing of all in this thread, but what's the point?

[Woody]

Whatever. But it would be refreshing if someone just admitted to what they did instead of trying to sidestep.

[Bravus]

OK. I used the words 'crazy' and 'woman' in the same sentence, but not together. I've admitted it, and I've apologised for it already, and withdrawn the statement. Not sure what more I can do before people will be willing to let it go. Now if I had a time machine...

[Dr. Shane]

what sailor guy? I don't remember him...hmmmm.

The captain of some ship or someone like that. Pretty ugly dude. I respect the black thing but lets put up some good looking black guys like Cosby, Jordon or Woods.

[Bravus]

Are people confusing the little kid from that cartoon with a captain/sailor? Not sure...

[Outta Here]

Thank you, everyone for taking time out to wish me well in this thread. I have a lot of things to think about right now and am uncertain whether or not I'll be staying. I am reading threads; I do have opinions on many things; I will share when I feel I can do it in a positive, uplifting manner.

Whatever. But it would be refreshing if someone just admitted to what they did instead of trying to sidestep.

Redwood,

I do appreciate the fact that you did not condone certain behaviors and felt some things were out of line. It is not worth you being called to account if this continues. Aubrey was the focus of this thread and should remain so

Maybe I am getting mellow in my old age but I really am not upset over what was said.

If I would have have considered the ones doing so as friends or if I held respect for their opinion it probably would have bothered me.

That is not the case concerning the participants.

In fact I am quite content at the place I am in life,I have more than most to be thankful for.

Bonnie

[Bravus]

Guess I'm on topic now too.

Goodbye.

Shane. I don't know about ugly.

This is why we need Black History Month.

Is that Whoopi's great granddad?

Is that Whoopi's great granddad?

Hey mister! I think your dropped your hat!

[Dr. Shane]

Shane. I don't know about ugly.

It's the hair, not the face. But the hair might be a wig.

This is the same guy that was in Amazing Grace, right? Great movie.

[Key Guy]

Oh Laz... It was a joke!!! (sigh)

I know he couldn't be Vanessa Williams' granddad. They just don't have the same resemblance.
