Andie, you're lovely! Why on earth do you think I was offended? Obviously I've never heard of Henderson but Gladstone is well known as the Grand Old Man so I only anticipated him as the answer! Big Lin , I just thought that maybe I had stepped over the line with this quiz. Sometimes I can get obsessed with the silliest things. More than anything I abhor offending anyone on the forums. And esp. people I like and respect. I am so very glad you are not offended. I feel so much better. Would rather apologize and find that really everything was alright than the opposite. This is being posted I believe at the end of your weekend so have a lovely Monday. Andie xx Andie, I've got a terrible temper; you know that by now! If I WAS offended believe me you'd know it! Hey, you're great!

Big Lin , Maybe this is what I will do if I ever trigger that "terrible temper" of yours. May not be enough...but it is a start...

Hey, you're great! Haven't you come to grips with your emotions yet? Perhaps Yoga and meditation might help. They are both good for changing your metabolism so that your frame of mind is completely changed for the better. It is no fun being around anyone who can't control their temper. I would skedaddle even when someone with a Sergeant Major voice would come into the room. I'm afraid you and I could never associate with one another except on the Internet. I wouldn't survive for long. LOL.

We are both beings interacting in cyberspace. We can only form our impressions of each other through that. And on that basis I agree we're poles apart. But then again it takes two to tango and perhaps you need to ask yourself why it is that you come across in such an unfavourable light to some of us. Maybe it's the result of sins you committed in some past life?

We were obviously just fine with this. I made sure she was okay with something I had posted...ans she was. I have nothing but respect for Big Lin as well as the fact I like her very much. I believe the reverse is true. Perhaps it would be better if you thought twice about giving unsolicited advice to another poster about how you feel they should behave...and esp. when it has nothing at all to do with you?

Most people are just trying to be helpful and not meaning to be condescending as is what some people seemingly would rather think. I believe people can modify their behaviour once they realise that it is not so good for others. I personally couldn't bear to be around anyone who loses their cool. It causes stress to both participants and ruins their health.

But it does have something to do with me. We all read the posts, so we can if we wish comment on what was said. Biglin and I go back a long way and we have differed in our thoughts on a few topics, such as the holocaust and religion. In my belief people who 'die' are reborn again. We are Soul so never really die. When we weep for too long over their so-called deaths it does no one any good, so I will make a comment about that. We all have different experiences and react to them. You yourself have intervened in my conversation with Biglin so are really repeating what you think I did to you. Just thought I would mention it.

To me, Scottish Lassie, you come across as patronising, smug and insensitive to the suffering of others. I'd say having a relative who was an Auschwitz survivor and who lost his parents, his brother and sister to the Nazis gave me the right to grieve (as if simply being human wasn't enough of a reason to feel empathy for the pain of others.) I don't believe in reincarnation or in karma which IMO are just cop-outs by people who don't want to feel empathy for other people and want to find excuses for being indifferent to human suffering. Now I'm under strict orders at the moment NOT to get into stressful situations which is why I've not posted much lately and when I have done it's been mainly on non-controversial subjects. I'd appreciate it if you moved on because my health is still a little fragile at the moment.

I don't know why it is that you think I have no empathy for the suffering of people. When that is exactly what I have. People cause their own suffering by their deeds from away back in time. They are karmic in nature, so stay with a person until they are able to resolve them. I apologise if my beliefs upset you and so will do as you say and log off for good. Das is a great poster, you are fortunate to have him on your forum, I love what he has to say.!!! Aurevoir.

I think it is terribly inconsiderate of you not to abide by these wishes and just move on Scottish Lassie . IMO the health of a poster is more important than anything else you may want to say on this matter. I was remiss in not saying I am sorry to hear you have been ill Big Lin . I hope you have a speedy recovery of your health.

When it comes to the holocaust, the only word you have to use is EVIL. Just pure evil. It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about the nazis.

Since this is the sport section, I guess I will talk about what happened wednesday night. Im from north carolina, so of course I like duke basketball. Well, zion williamson the number one college player in the country, was making a cut to the basket and his nike shoe exploded. He sprained his knee. Duke was playing their rival unc. So duke went on to lose. I just feel horrible for that kid. I hope he recovers. A lot of people are pissed off at nike for making such a weak shoe. Nike stock has dropped because of it. A lot of people are pissed off at college basketball for not paying these kids to play, since they are risking their health. I just thought Id drop a few lines.

Just one more thing related to sports. As of late I have become obsessed with collecting sports cards. I collect cards of all athletes in every sport there is pretty much. I just absolutely love it. I love to find rare and vintage sports cards. I go to ebay to find them. The thrill of finding a good card is just overwhelming. Man I just love finding a good card. I just found a babe ruth card today as a matter of fact. I have benn looking for this particular card for a while and bam! Finally it turned up on ebay. What a rush! Collecting sports cards has become my obsession. I practically live on ebay these days. Well Im off again. Have a great night everybody.

My day has started off great. I found a jerry west basketball card on ebay. Only 10 copies of this card exist. So I pounced on it pretty fast. Jerry west was one bad dude on a basketball court. Man what a rush.

You're old enough to be my Mum (older than her in fact) so how come you still haven't learned humility?
