First of all, I'm not a lawyer. I have a bachelor degree in Singing. Therefore, I'm a receptionist. I answer a phone. I simply have an opinion and I know how to back it up. Discussion boards are for discussion. Make points, back them up - isn't that what a discussion is?

I'm not against internet viewing, I'm again Rachel's know-it-all attitude. This opinion of her has was not formed today, it's a culmination of many, many of her posts. And yeah, when I saw you stroking her over inflated ego, perhaps I went a little too far. But I'm not sorry.
I'm a know it all, am I, for sticking up for my friend when you accused her of stealing? You've retracted it now, but when I posted, you hadn't. OK. Cool by me.

Continue to complain about inconsequential things over which you have control. I'm done here.
Am I crazy? Because I thought that was what the point of this thread was. "Complain here and we'll never call you a whiner"
Now, if this is about our earlier conversation re: Christmas, I apologize for not stroking your ego and saying "poor baby, yes, you should go tell your boss that his Christmas Cheer makes you cry". I said OVER AND OVER that I sympathized with your situation. Lots of us would prefer that Christmas be contained to one month. But don't expect the Cheered to care, because they won't. You posted a question - "should I tell my boss...", not a statement - "I'm sad because I've got no family to spend Christmas with". So I answered your question. Next time I'll just ignore you, which I'm fairly certain would be preferable.
I'm sorry, it's just that I expected that level of arrogance out of a lawyer, I did not expect it out of a receptionist. It caught me off guard and amused me.
And if you really want to rehash the Christmas thing then fine. My complaint was that I don't have a loving family to spend Christmas with. Honestly I was offended that my abusive parents were compared to your Jewish angst. However, I didn't bring this up because as misguided as you were, I figured you probably meant well.
But from the same conversation I was astounded with your "War on Christmas." You seem to demand respect for your religious beliefs, while not granting others the same respect. This from the same woman who proclaimed that she was annoyed when people took no interest in learning about religions other than their own. So one should learn about other people's religion, but not tolerate them? That's totally mature. Way to go.

do you do anything else then coming onto message boards to just stir up trouble? in the last few months there has been a number of arguments, what have all of them had in commen? they have involved you
this forum used to be a nice place...wonder why lots of people dont post anymore?
you need to either get the hell over what did the damage to you in life, or stop taking it out on people on the internets.
People stop posting here because I call people on their bullshit??
Sure. Ok.
people stop posting on here because you launch unnecessary personal attacks on people, like this argument that just happend, you lost on your points so launched a personal attack to try and save face.
it's this kind of stuff that forces me to leave boards... i was a part of several, and now this is the only one i'm active on... so yes. people who start problems DO drive people away. old fans and new ones alike... because who wants to come to their "sanctuary" and read this kind of stuff? no one i know.
Does this board have an ignore feature? Feel free to use it if it does. It won't hurt my feelings. If not you could always do it manually.
And HFoC, I'm surprised you brought up people not posting anymore. I seem to remember sticking up for someone who said she was going to stop posting because YOU asked her to.
Yes... I'm sorry that this is one site I usually come to to sort of escape and get caught up in a band I completely adore... I'm not saying you shouldn't voice your opinion... it's an open forum, that's what it's here for. But when you start attacking people and their character, I think that's when it's taken a step too far.
So I should be able to voice my opinion only when it agrees with everyone elses, and is nice and happy and rainbows and shit? Gotcha.
Yeah, I lost that argument. But that's not why I launched the attack. It had been building for weeks. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
There's really not an ignore feature is there. Odd.
Sanctuary? Wow! Does this board have an ignore feature? Feel free to use it if it does. It won't hurt my feelings. If not you could always do it manually.
And HFoC, I'm surprised you brought up people not posting anymore. I seem to remember sticking up for someone who said she was going to stop posting because YOU asked her to.
people not posting because they hate the atmosphere someone has created by launching personal attacks on people, and asking someone who had been posting lots of one word and emoticon replys to multiple threads are two diffrent things
theres always someone like you on message forums, trying to stir up trouble every so often. i look forward to the day when you get bored of it and fade away..

No, I didn't say that at all. Attacking someone and their character is completely different than voicing an opposing opinion. That's all I was saying, but if you want to take it that way. Fine by me.
My opinion is that Rose is a know-it-all. I can't believe no one else sees that.
I don't want to get involved or anything, I was just wondering what it was that made you think that? I thought she was just sticking up for Sally, but I'd be interested to know what makes you think she's a know-it-all.
I explained the most recent example if you scroll up. But I will not spend any time pouring through posts I find annoying. If you like I'll point out any future examples.
I wasn't trying to perpetuate it - you asked how we couldn't see that Rachel is a know-it-all, so I wanted to know what it was that you were seeing. That was all. No need to get angry at me, thanks.
Don't worry about pointing anything out to me. I can't be bothered anymore.

You notice how I'm not arguing with Rose anymore? She stopped responding to me. See how easy that is?
Good job, Rose!!!!
