Here is how I see it. You can focus on what you think of as the negative aspects of this or the funny ones or, of course, ignore the whole thing completely. All of these ways of dealing with the dormouse sentence are possible. I actually found myself laughing out loud at that description and I can say with all truthfulness I would have laughed just as much if it had been directed at me, which it may have been since Judy said it was not directed at you. What does focusing on the 'nasty parts of the metaphor' achieve anyway? Surely, you have the best answer to that, I know you do. So, when I read that descriptive my first impulse was to find a picture of a dormouse and look how fantastic that little creature was.  And so of course not the ones you mentioned. Your ignoring that does not do you justice. I IGNORE nothing but I FOCUS on what is important, to me. This is how I live my life and it is the best way I know to do myself justice. > > > Plus your ignoring Judy's part in this ie her response to my apology, does > not do you justice either. Share, my post to you was written with good intentions. If you, like Curtis, think it was not then I failed in what I was trying to achieve, which was to encourage you to stay true to who you think you are, a positive and sensitive and thoughtful person, and not fall into the trap of lashing out in a way that goes against who you want to be, or what you work so hard on developing in your character in your relationship with others. But, in reality, it is none of my business so I will, as you are so much better than I am at doing, apologize if I wither misread you or overstepped my boundaries. > > > > ________________________________ > From: awoelflebater <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2012 10:33 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re:to everyone -- writing for the Church of > $cientology > > >  > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@> wrote: > > > > Supplying some mental floss for this exchange and just in case Judy's use > > of quotation marks is obfuscating, I'm sure it's not me she is quoting as I > > did not write those words.àOr even think them.àMaybe herself?à> > Or someone from another decade?à> > > > > > PSàI'd rather be a supposed "pompous, reality-avoiding dormouse" than a > > rageful, reality-obfuscating dirty fighter.à> > Here is the thing, dear Share, although you have obviously taken exception to > the metaphor of the dormouse as pertaining to you, it was a rather charming, > in an interesting way, image and not one to get overly excited about.
