I'd Like to Get Something off of my Chest Please
I always figured you were a sock puppet.

That means you're part of the club.

I love me some Bdubs!This concept was described in a book I recently read as "the polishing of one's glass" and how it is more about your own perception of the world that effects the world's perception of you. The polishing of your own glass can result in the realization that your idea of the world is less clear than you originally had thought.
Sorry. I am not as eloquent as Bdubs.
I am also forever polishing my own glass.
I didn't know you then. All I'll know is the person who posts as of now. You got a clean slate with this guy. Also, it sounds like you have a fresh start with the others that were here during your "infantile babbling" time.Hopefully that's what you were looking for. Good luck.
Dear LethalLovely,Don't take stuff on the internets so seriously.
Or listen to BunWat.
You pick.
Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate both the supportive and critical ones. I created this post for simple reasons. It was something I did for myself & it has brought me closure. I ran away from this group when I got sick of fighting this fight, trying to prove that I was worth giving two shits about. That's my fault. My insecurities pushed me to try to find validation in other people and that was not a healthy or wise thing to do.So with this post I have closed a bad chapter in my life. THANK YOU. I hope you all have a good day/afternoon/night/life. I wish you the best. ^_^
We'll leave the light on in case you want to stop by sometime. Adieu.
LL, whenever someone attacks you, belittles or insults you, it is inevitably more of a reflection of their own unhappiness and the void in their life than any kind of reflection of you.

I have to admit though, I'm just repeating what I read off a bathroom wall in a redneck bar outside of Peoria, Illinois while fighting the side effects of bad taco...which incidentally is how the dalai lama came upon most of his wisdom as well.

Thank you sir.I recognize your profile avatar, but I can't remember who that cartoon characters is. Is it the villian from Polly Purebread?

Its Professor Hinkle from the old Frosty the Snowman CBS special :D
Messy messy messy....
Ahh, I knew I had seen that character somewhere before. Funny.
You are not the only member on TerminalCoffee who has been discriminated against because of their color LL. There are some real snobs on TC who don't like anyone who is black because we aren't as educated as they are. Yet these phonies put on pretenses of latte liberal political correctness. But their brand of racism cloaked in grammar snobbery hasn't fooled me and it hasn't fooled you. That is why you don't see any black people in this group.The scary thing is they will deny that they are racists. And what is even more scary, they most likely don't even think of themselves as racist. But it is obvious to anyone who isnt pearly white that they are the worst kind of racists. The kind that don't know it or won't admit it.

People here are not racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever....I didn't even know that the Topic Creator was African American, and I doubt that the color of one's skin matters a whit to anyone here.
I've gotten into tiffs with members here, quite recently as a matter of fact. It was stupid and got blown up bigger than it should of. I happen to be gay....not once did I throw down the homophobe card when I was being challenged by other members in the argument. I acted like something of an ass true...but I didn't accuse anyone of bigotry or prejudice either.
Point being...if you have to play the race card, or the gay card or the man/woman card to back up your argument WITHOUT CONCRETE PROOF....you don't have much of one to begin with.
Again, though I have only been here a short while, I have seen NO EVIDENCE of bigotry from anyone...and its a sick thing to accuse someone of without actual evidence.

Your conversation would probably be more real if you had it with a mannequin in the window of your local department store.

That was great, Christopher!

Misha! Don't insult Theodor like that. Unless you mean we are being attacked by East Beast and West Beast.

For the record, I was wrong about LL's identity.

As I was browsing through these comments I noticed a lot of animosity aimed towards me. At that time in my life, I was just starting my adult life, dealing with the struggles of being a Uni student & I was going through a lot in my personal life. Yes, I wasn't the most articulate of people. Yes, I said a lot of random, off the wall shit. And because of that I was called everything from retard to dumbass to whorish. I tried to roll with the punches & not judge anybody for their hurtful comments & yet a lot of people judged me (although there were a few who didn't & I'm appreciative of that).
I guess what I'm trying to get at is, you don't really know people. You don't know what people are going through in their lives. You just know what they tell you. I look back at those comments & I realize how lost & confused I really was. How much I wanted to fit in somewhere. I tried & failed to achieve that goal time & again. One outrageous comment & I was written off as an idiotic, immature bitch by those who thought they were better than me & I wasn't worth the time it took to say something nice. I like who I am today but looking back at how much I contend with in this group, the feelings are bittersweet.
Thank you to those who took the time to read my post. You don't need to worry; I don't plan on subjecting this group to any more of my infantile babble. I just wanted to get this off my chest. ^_^
