Emily, I doubt that anyone here is posting 100% of themselves, which is neither possible nor valuable imo. Nor do I seek the respect of those who don't enjoy my postings. Though I wish them enjoyment here and in their offline lives.

It is impossible for some of us to take you seriously when you do this because it comes across strangely sterile in a certain way. Why don't you try to just be yourself - all of yourself - the good, bad, and the ugly and take credit for it all. You are a human being, on the path to enlightenment or not, you are still a human being. What could happen? You might get the respect you so desire. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Emily, I didn't and don't deny having any emotion. I questioned the value of expressing it here. I also disagree withvarious opinions and assessments of me. That is not denial either. On Friday, June 13, 2014 10:46 AM, "emilymaenot@...

It's a simple case of someone saying to someone who is yelling...."You sound angry." The person responds...."I AM NOT ANGRY." lol ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : you know, I think you have to give someone a little wiggle room in expressing themself. I would not call Share's comment expressing a "negative emotion". I would call it defending oneself in as positive a way a possible. Not that shehas to defend herself, but if she cared to respond, then I think she expressed herself clearly. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymaenot@...> wrote : I don't think she does! [Note: Share, do you get how what you said demonstrated Fleetfoot's point?] She would have to acknowledge that she might be engaging in a negative feeling. Oh no...that is not O.K.! Particularly here on FFL (smile)! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : Bingo.

I was noticing your passive aggressive nature, on here, Share, and wanted you to know, as a helpful hint, that your repressed anger leaks out, even when you think you are hiding it. Makes no difference to me, what you do about it, if anything. I won't be holding my breath. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Fleetwood, again, if someone doesn't enjoy my posts, for whatever reason, then why are they even reading them?!

Passive aggressively. Repression, or rationalization, doesn't work with that shit. Invariably, the negativity leaks out, and like many who have been admonished for expressing such things, it can be quite an internal battle. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Fleetwood, I don't see the value of expressing negative emotions here. If that means others think I'm dishonest and avoid me, that's their choice. <snip>
