For the boy locked out on the porch, I am sorry, so sorry that any child should have to endure abuse.  Nothing pisses me off quite like child abuse of any kind.  Lots of (((hugs))). 

  

For the man that is really ticked off (don't blame you), here is what I say to myself often when I am faced with a situation that makes me want to scream, kick, etc., "can't change them only the way I deal with it".  Sometimes this works, sometimes not but worth a try. 

  

Now this talk of leaving...well I am sure that Tap will take you to task on that.  But the deal is this, I enjoy reading your posts, they are almost always entertaining and usually make me think a great deal.  The thinking part helps to remind me that I do still have a brain and I get to ponder ideas/topics that are more in depth than finger painting!  Please take this into consideration when making your decision. 

  

You write well but I think you know that.  I have always wanted to but have not been willing to put effort into becoming any good.  Just not my thing.  It appears that it is yours, remember that and that a gift is best when shared.

I cry rarely but found tears clouding my vision as I was reading your post. When I saw the kitten, I had to leave my computer for a bit.

You have to know that you are one of my treasures. I love your mind and your heart.

There are times when I think that the very best people in this world are those who have suffered the most.

Loretta echos my thoughts when she speaks of your gift.

I'm being a tad cryptic, I know. I'm just too emotional right now to be more expansive.

My understanding is that one of the rules is that the rules are never explained. Great policy for a pop psych site.

All it would take for your post to be deleted is the site going down at the wrong time or for you to say something innocuous (to almost everyone) that offended a really petty lurker or regular who thought you'd disparaged their deity and who then clicked the Report to Staff button.

Please stay. Don't let the bastards win.

 for not replying but I can not write presently as I am  still outraged, incensed, and POed to no end by the inconsistent and punitive governance of these boards.

I find the conduct of the controller to be malicious and spiteful.

I feel the striking of thought is done in an abusive fashion and can't bring myself to accept what was done because I judge it as unfair and find it creates an that is atmosphere stifiling.

I am not a person who has a tremendous amount of voice and don't tend repeat myself, speak idly or force my speech on those who don't display intrest in my thoughts.

I can count on two fingers the number of posts I lost under the old format and understood the flaw of each.

Donna, I thought was an outstanding moderator. She was helpful, consistent and given the task she had in seeing to us ... came accross as a caring soul.

I don't understand the "new" rules, can find no logic to the random nature of removal and don't feel like puting work into composition where it is subject to one clueless persons power of arbitrary oversight.

I know abuse. This IS what is happening.

I included no live links and believe I know how to walk the edge of innuendo. I can push hard but ponder and self censor to maintain a level of decourum appropriate to my held esteem for Dr.Phil. The vindictive erradication is beyond me.

I fully understand this is not my forum and comprehend it is a priviledge to post here and not a right. I believe I have shown respect for both the provided forum as well as all posters who frequent the site, regardless of my agreement or disagreement with any voiced position.

I have always tried to bring both insight and originality to the boards and my current discontent over punishment and having being locked out without explaination has raised my ire to a boiling point. I  sucked up the first blows but now am so furious it is taking everything in my power not to simply post a violent expletive filled slug at the mindnumbing exercise of power by the current overseerer.

I do not write with ease and second guess much that I do, know I probably shouldn't, but do. I pretty much stopped writing when I was twelve. My mother confronted me with my diary and tore a strip off me for my thoughts ... there was a girl I liked ... she didn't like it. At that point I saw writing as dangerous and wouldn't put anything on paper of even minute personnal nature. I wrote next to nothing aside a few letters until I began posting here and am often surprised and shocked at what I do write.

When I was younger I used to frequently get locked out of the house as punishment  ... especially in winter.

Sent to the backporch.

 It was an unheated, uninsulated enclosure where we keep wood and where the dogs slept. I would be kicked outwithout benefit of mittans, jacket or shoes and left there until my mother had chilled and I was completely frozen.

Oh, it was effective. I was calm upon being let back in, as I was often so cold I could only hunker down and shiver warmth back into my bones while my extremities  burned from the temperature change.

Sometimes I wondered if I hadn't been completely forgotten and would huddle with the dogs sharing their warmth. Although if caught garnering comfort from the dogs  ... let's just say this did not go over well.

Anyway, when I was frozen out of the site I felt like that kid again, huddled in the corner with the dogs, knowing I was close to the heat but unable to access it until the ogre relented.  This was abusive and I didn't much like it.

I am working on a letter to Dr.Phil to bring to his attention the bullying by this staff person, will be asking for clarification and pending a reply will likely be rather subdued.

That is how I feel. I'm sorry.

I don't believe Dr.Phil wishes perpertrate abuse on anyone ... and there  is a large risk I will find no solice from him on this matter ... in which case ... who knows ... when I left home I vowed to never go back and have maintained my promise to myself. 

Guess I'm pure evil

Don't you dare leave.  Just so you know that most of us here can get a posse together at a moments notice.  Well mind you JP is heading off to Hawaii so she might not want to ride her pony. 

  

So....this is just a warning...this time.  Don't you dare leave.   

  

Not sure why your post got deleted....oh well....re post it if you can.  As far as I can remember you had clothes on in the photo....maybe you could post a naked photo for us....who knows that may just make the cut and be posted forever...lol. 

  

P.S. 

Love your pussy....cat!!!!!

Ok, this thing is driving me crazy, meaning my internet connection.  In the past two days I’ve written two fairly long posts, only to lose them, when I lose my connection.  So, I’m going to resort to the cut ‘n paste procedure.  

As for the GG’s, I thought that Gwynneth was being very clever, actually.  I figure she’ll make that dress do double duty, by cutting off about a foot after the baby is born (do you suppose she might name it Banana?) and using it as a christening gown. 

I can’t even imagine what Pamela Anderson was thinking.  It sure looks like she draped a Hefty bag over her shoulders.  I just plain don’t like Mariah Carey, hated her dress, but most of all, I hate that she is posing every minute, and never actually looks like a real human. 

And Drew, Drew, do you not have friends who will tell you the truth before you walk out the door?  I’ve been trying to find a full-length picture of that dress, because I only saw the close up when she was presenting.  And, God help me, I couldn’t take my eyes off her chest.  It was a train wreck, can’t even tell you what her hair or face looked like.  I have a feeling that the media as a whole feels sorry for her, and have decided to pretend that green dress never existed.  Awful, awful. 

I did think that most of the women looked fantastic, especially Virginia Madsen, even though she was on the Worst list.  And I was so glad that Hugh Laurie won.  I loved hearing his British accent, and the “random” thank you’s were great.  Believe it or not, I saw someone post on a message board that an American actor dubs his lines on House – can you believe someone would be so idiotic? 

Ok, enough cattiness for one day.  I’ve got some more stuff I want to post, but I need to get some work done.

Now I'm wishing I would have watched the awards.... 

  

I guess I just get tired of the B.S. that most of the stars put forth.  Mind you not all of them, especially the hot ones.....lol. 

  

Soooooo what do you have to add to your post....do tell.

Don't let something like this spoil this wonderful relationship you have with all these poster. Granted, I don't blame you for writing a letter to the Dr. I think it may have been a combination of the picture and the link together that prompted a deletion. Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with the rest of the post if I recall. 

  

I wonder if you had posted your picture as your 'avatar' like I did, and then the link in your article, if it would have made a difference. After all, it's up to an individual how much they want to divulge about their personal lives on these boards, isn't it? 

  

Anyway, we miss your whit, your creativity, your intelligence!
