Okay i am gonna give you some free advice, it seems as if you are really in need of it... some general unsaid rules of this forum that i was taught quite early on

1. Never ever insult DD or VD or you will be bashed

2. Dont go making spelling topics you will be bashed

3. Dont insult the episode you will be bashed

4. Dont pick a fight with the regulars their friends will come and attack you for free

5. the peepz here attack first and ask questions later and are mostly driven on their extremely high levels of sentiments so you will be attacked if sentiments are hurt

6. always make a disclaimer at the end of each post and apologize if you have hurt anyone's sentiments or emotions

7. if happy express loud and clear if sad or dissipointed express in a very neutral or suttle mannor or you will be attacked

ps peepz still arnt happy with you cuz of the grammar lesson and now a disappointing episode is not going to make them any happier...

this is me being nice i kind of felt sorry for you being attacked by all of those peepz😳

hey why is your username so damn long i was just wondering???

thank you for your concern, even though it is completely unsolicited. Nonetheless, I will take it in the spirit I hope it is meant.

Now to your points. They all seem to be made to prevent me for getting ' bashed' as that is seen as the big bugbear in forum- land. Please let me make it absolutely clear that as long as comments are posted that are not personal attacks on me or other posters or our right to hold divergent views, I am perfectly fine with it. In fact, I fully encourage people to hold different and inetersting views and to express them, debate them and thus help us all in developing new ways of looking at the world.

Hey i was just trying to prevent you from getting more bashed by the peepz here...i agree that a difference in opinion is good but i feel you are a little to blunt and honest here...i personally feel like its an Oligarchy here and the forum is basically ruled by a few DDians and VDians and if any of their sentiments get hurt then they all attack. its not a democracry and i can most likly bet these peepz have probably scared quite a few peepz with different opinions away.😆

What i, and indeed this forum, does not permit is personal attacks, and i will protest vehemently against such behaviour. I do not need to tell you forum rules and policy; they are prominently displayed on the site. If you have not done so already, I suggest you and your friends who are writing things like ' get well soon' to me refresh yourself on their content.

Hey i never read those rules or polices so i have no idea what your talking about. And about meenu she is a great person and good at heart, its just that she had a strong view against your post and as you said its a free forum and a democracy, so she is just posting what she truly felt from inside. Meenu saw the post and felt you had a problem so she said get well soon what's wrong in expressing her opinion.

The points you have made above, suggest to me, and pray forgive me if I am wrong, an overwhelming need to be one of the popular kids. Even if this means having no personality of your own or never expressing an opinion that differs in any way from that held by the herd and its leaders. Such depressingly regressive views are very unfortunate even for one person to hold, but truly tragic when championed as behaviour for EVERYONE to emulate. I would strongly urge you to reconsider your intellectual position. Life is not a popularity contest, and nor should our presence on this forum be one. It should rather be about the complexity and briliance of the ideas you bring with you.

Thanks so much for your advise but i do very much have my own personality and as for trying to be one of the popular kids, i would like to tell you i am president of my sorority in LA so i guess i am already popular in real so i dont need to try very hard in cyberland. I never change my personality for no one and i will never be herded around either. As for views i do sometimes disagree from the mass but i have been taught by my various speech professors to always give your opinions in a way that where it does not hurt anyone's sentiments and gets my point across. There are other ways to say a disappointing episode where less individuals sentiments are hurt and then you could have a better mixture of ideas. I believe that everyone has the right to their own opinions but no one has the right to hurt or put down anyone's opinions either. Everyone should express in a way where other's sentiments are not hurt, because obviously if someone's sentiments are hurt they will show you their disapproval as well. Just as you are unwilling to somewhat neutralize your posts they are unwilling to neutralize their disapproval for you and your posts. Look i am just telling you ways to avoid fights here because no one likes a fighting atmosphere.

Thank you very much for your time, and hope that we meet again during a more salubrious discussion.

Warmest,

FQ

PS re my name : it is based on one of my favourite books. I could have made an absolutely cutting comment over how my name or its length is none of your business, but i decided to take the query as stemming from curiosity. I am sure you will appreciate my restraint.

yea I was just curious on why it was so long
