Juni....I've known you for awhile now, and I think an awful lot of you...So please listen to what I have to say...
I sincerely believe that you have enough character and understanding to listen to me, and be fair in your evaluation.
The only thing I've done here is to defend myself, from some very false charges...and as the dialogue got heavier and hotter (in the later posts on this thread),I found myself shouting back with passionate indignation, and the same kind of drivil, which has been thrown at me from the very start. And I'll admit that it was probably immature of me for having resorted to that, but only shows that I am human.
I came to this forum, with the impression that I'd be allowed to post my views the same as everyone else here (..and Randall, who has the FINAL say in this has NOT yet told me to go away and not come back, for which I am thankful [since I know he leans to the right, too. Bless his heart])
So - since Randall has not chased me away, I've managed to sustain my knowflake status, and hang in.....in spite of some very concerted efforts by certain individuals to get me out of here via "brow beating." (and I attribute it all to being bold enough to express my views of Mr. Bush and his gang, since these are things they did not want to hear, or for anyone else here, to hear)
Their trick was to accuse ME of doing what THEY were doing...i.e. calling me everything under the sun.
....but I came to this forum, and posted nothing any differently than any other person here...there were opinions to the right and opinons to the left...
....and if you check all the threads on this forum carefully, you'll find that never once did I call anybody any names here (which I've been accused of).
THAT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!
...particularly when my accusers are the only ones calling names and I'm the one they are calling names...CHECK THE FORUMS...
It would take some time, admittedly, but if ALL MY POSTS were looked at (not just on this thread, but on THIS WHOLE GU FORUM, starting with the Michael Moore comments) in chronological order (just the way I posted them), what you'll find is: articles I've posted which I've found interesting, if they reveal something I think we should all know (same as lots of other do here), and my opinions about George Bush, the war, Michael Moore etc. Nothing more. Why would I call anyone names here?
I had no reason to call anyone names or belittle them...I think you know me, better than that, and you know that's NOT MY STYLE!
I will however, leave this forum for the sake of peace....
If I stay, I know I will continue to defend myself.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death, your right to say it..."
said so long ago...
Thanks for listening, juni....
Love,
Rainbow
