I am not scared of you Ian. I just think that you come across as an angry person. We all have issues on this board that we are dealing with, and I was just giving you my take on things as an outsider. I get the feeling that you think that you can "do no wrong" and that your opinion is always the correct one. It's ok for people to have differing opinions. This is, after all, a public forum.
As far as sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, well, Scott is one of my friends and I care about him. I follow his sitch and give input from time to time. I am not scared to voice my opinion. Also, I was not getting defensive, just offering my opinion. Your post, however, was very defensive. As far as self esteem, everyone on this board has some sort of self esteem issue from one time or another, so for you to say that you don't have that issue is just you being defensive. Ian, I think that sometimes you should take your own advice.
Oh, and I did read your posts. I REALLY read them. Read them more than once, then thought about it, and posted my opinion on what I thought unconditional love really means.
We may not agree on things, but I am not a bad person, Ian. I am a human being, with thoughts and feelings - just like you. Quite frankly, I am a sensitive person, and I am also very caring. I don't think I deserve to be spoken to in the manner that you communicate to me. I could have responded to you with a lashing, but I choose not to. I do care about other people and don't like to hurt people's feelings. I don't really see the need to argue about things. We are all adults and we can agree to disagree on things.
I hope you have a good time on your trip, Ian. I do care.
Kristy, I won't get deep into this because it is not something we need to do here. I will simply tell you that I had no issue with your initial post or your opinion, I understand and respect it completely. My issue was that you threw in the line at the end where you told me that I was putting my issues off on Scott and should look at my own self esteem. That in my opinion was your stab at me and what sparked the conflict.
I will apologize for my reaction, I do not take well to someone throwing something off on me. I agree you care about Swashy, and respect you have your opinions and offer him advice, that is a good thing.
I will simply ask you to not throw me in the mix with that as you and I have an understanding that we just do not get along and shouldnt get involved with each others sitch's.
So no hard feelings, sorry if you were hurt by my post.
