    Assume you are very opinionated in general or have at least one issue on which you have a very strong opinion. Would you be interested in knowing what the other side is thinking not through a shouting match but through an adult level/civil conversation?

    @fishlet...that's not the type who wants to listen to logic nor have "conversations" I don't think...no loss.

    A fishlet- and who will feed all of the pets??? That is an important Q for Mr Wilcoe too!
    My theory as to why he doesn't like Johnny Cash....Because Johnny wouldn't go out the "fema" way he alreay went down a burning ring of fire..:)
    doolittle

    You are not being unreasonable! And I will not board a Fema train without knowing that all of the pets will be loved and well cared for! Hmmm...maybe they could leave a few of us behind to take care of them- sing it Johnny!
    doolittle

    I might go on the Fema train if they have warm chocolate lava cake, diet coke, and bugles.

    Doo thinks it is always best to avoid un-identifiable meat. Especially is pink and iky!
    figtree3

    I'm afraid you broke my brain this time.

    I'll have to take it 'one piece at a time'. Will it cost me a dime? Ouch, not again!

    I am always interested what the other person has to say and I like it as civil as possible.  That does not happen all the time. A few unguarded words can create a Firestorm and I dont like to participate in this kind of exchange..

    Sure, as long as I can quietly dispute them...............

    I am a Conflict Avoidance Specialist ...expert avoidance tactics seminars being held soon at a location near you...duck,roll, and cover is covered completely by your local health provider...unless you get hurt in which case you will not be re-imbursed...so,don't register now to avoid a brush with conflict!!!

    doolittle

    Maybe that can be my next career...holding seminars that never happen- LOL
    doolittle

    LOL- I think it's an excellent career path for me. Oh, and the check I owe you- it's in the mail :)
    doolittle

    Lets see...Once a year they swim Wild Horses From Chincoteague Island to the mainland to be sold...the check will be with Misty the X!!
    Dollybird

    doolittle, forget your career with the seminars, that will never happen, how about a career, wheeling light into dark corners.?
    lindilou

    Aha! Doolittle, Dollybird has found your calling!!! ;)
    doolittle

    dolly- Hmmm I did that in court and my spouse was not pleased that I lit his dark corners-
    lindilou

    ...the dark are never pleased...about anything....sucks to be them. 8(

    Um..here's the deal- I am willing to talk to anyone who admits there is a problem and there may be a  better way of dealing with it!!  If they think my "passion" isn't an issue- there is no sense in talking about it...I've already heard every reason why "it's not an issue" and I don't agree.

    ROMOS

    Yep?
    lindilou

    Hey! You're a quick study!.....that'll be seventy-five bucks please!!!LOL!
    lindilou

    Now some poor little pony's gonna have to swim across the strait!!...you were talking pony express weren't you?heehee!
    lindilou

    She'll be the one most willing to avoid me then???Wild Horses...(music seeping in from the cosmos... :)

    Civility goes out the window with certain subjects. Emotions take hold and the BS begins. With very few exceptions do people opt out of a conversation. I was guilty as well. However, I'm not wasting anymore time with those who have an agenda, that I have previously made my thoughts clear on a given topic. Click, poof  I'm gone. Drag someone else's head.

    valR

    are you lambs brother? :)

    Absolutely, sometimes looking through "new" eyes are not only thought provoking but beneficial, I have a dislike for people that come into our workplace with their own agenda, I do however appreciate lateral thinking and practical suggestions, I dislike criticism unless the person that is doing this also has a suggestion  that may prove to be  beneficial or at least worth trying,however on a personal level I do have very strong feelings on things I will never be persuaded to change, they are my basic morals and values and are non negotiable

    valR

    are you ed's brother? :)
    lambshank

    val, wise man our ed!!...lol

    yes.

    valR

    my kind of answer, thanks!

    lambshank

    love all that detail fjoel

    A civil discourse is always the best thing, IMO


    I have found the person making the most noise is generally the least informed on the subject..  ;)


     


     

    valR

    the noisy minorities?

    I like to think that I would be receptive to hear the other sides argument. People make mistakes in judgement all the time.  How could you learn form a narrow frame of reference. Goodness knows that I've made many a mistake from not listening.

    The written words is always a matter of interpretation. People have accused me of angrily putting words out and I was not the least bit angry. I think akaQA should have been left as a help forum.


    *Shrugs*. Personally, I'm tired of what it has turned into.

    valR

    Actually, writing should give one the opportunity to review repeatedly until completely satisfied as opposed to live conversation...

    Only if one takes the time to do that and not just cherry pick and ignore the rest.
    lambshank

    guess I'm a cherry picker,some things I personally find offensive or intrusive, just don't bother with them, you are doing us a service and doing it well, take time to pat yourself on the back now and then,

    Always

    Of course after ive proved im right,

    Hector, you would make this easier on yourself if you would stop coming back until your suspension is over.

    i thought it was over Colleen,

    You've not left long enough for it to be over hector, you just keep opening new accounts and posting under them. It can be over if you agree to just be a member here helping others without trying to stir things up and without smearing members or the admin. If you remember back, you used a Hitler reference against a member and the admin. This was no fair and you need to know that one of our members actually lived through all that. Please for her sake, do not use it to try and harm others. Can you agree to just settle down here?

    Yes i guess Colleen ,members of my family went through quite a lot in the 1st and 2end world wars,

    Use only this one account to post from. Do not create anymore as they will be suspended. Please "play" nice from now on.

    YES. WHEN DOES THE TRIAL BEGIN?

    Permission to crawl to the bench? :)

    gracelost

    all hail!! XD :D :)

    Prehaps,arrogent,and self opinunated people,do not like  a fisnet answer,?????

    FISH-O

    The one person who was ticked off at me was a complete lunatic... who has been suspended. :)
    hector5559

    I dont remeber saying that Fishy,might have been my mate muking about,

    All opinions are opinions. Right and wrong are fantasies. True and false are relative. Choice is substantial and conclusions temporary. Death is a safe experience worth waiting for as long as you can and Love is all there is.

    There are issues that I do not care to hear what the other side has to say. If they started to give me their opinion, I’d be out of there real quick. No sense in wasting my time.
