First off, Love you lissie bean and sorry your thread went in strange directions, I know how much that bothers you.
For all of us who know Lissie, shame on us for allowing a wonderful thread to take that direction rather than taking this stuff offline. How many times will we all make the same mistake.
Figgy, you already know how I feel about you. For the rest of you, adoration and loyalty and you choose to call it freakish? How many of us would absolutely love to have a person in our loves with a heart as big as Figgy has? I know I would, and do.... Reality is we all have our opinions about others, its how we choose to express those opinions that is the problem. We all have email right? Use it.
Amy, you have been a wonderful guide to me many many times on this board. However, you of all people know better and at some point have to take the accountability for that. I personally love your ability to speak your mind, as you know I am big on that, but do it the right way.
Jack my boy, you to know better. You knew when you posted the pedestal comment it would spark controversy, do not deny that. You are very intelligent when you write and sometimes write to lead....tsk tsk tsk. Not for nothing, but of all people on this board, and I do mean all, you know how Lissie feels about keeping her threads loving and caring.
So to end this post in the manner in which I believe this thread to be intended. Lissi, it is a privilege to have you in my life, and for you to allow me to be part of yours. Friendship is a beautiful thing and what gets us through the insanity that our lives can be. You my dear are not perfect, you are not a god, but for a mere mortal, you are one very amazing and special woman who is so obviously admired and adored by many many people....and I am one of them.
So lets all play nice and not get into any more pissing contests and try and be happy adults together, or at least respectful one's.
