Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: An apology
LOL. I had a friend in Steamboat Springs Co. that used to feed the wild animals
around her house, mainly red foxes. Used to give them Iams, a premium brand dog
food. They ran out one day and picked up some Wal-Mart brand dog food and the
foxes turned their noses up at it, wouldn't eat it! Even wild critters get
spoiled.

Don't feel too bad about it. About 40 years ago I once fed a family of
raccoons in the back yard. Eventually they tore up everything and became a real
nuisance. Had to stop feeding them, and eventually turn a water hose on them
for a while to get them to go away. Raccoons like dry dog food in case anyone
wants to experiment. They are smart though, and know what they want.

Dear fellow FFLers.
I feel I should apologise for recent comments of mine that I directed towards
members of The Peak - apparently an ongoing conversation about our journey as
human beings, towards the pinnacle of existence.
As you know I usually try to keep a reasonable and cool head when dealing with
others as I firmly believe we all deserve a fair hearing for our views,
whatever they may be. In fact, I consider the best way to deal with people
whose sole aim appears to be causing trouble is to reason with them and explain
your POV and why they would gain more credibility if they engaged with their
own POV rather than just by trolling and trying to goad people into endless
arguments. The pen is mightier than the sword.
Well, needless to say I failed and told them to fuck off. Big mistake, and a
mistake made out of total frustration with these righteous types who claim to
have left our fine company to start a new site without any negativity. I'm
sure any serious contributors to this place will understand how irritating it
is to have to scroll past endless drivel by these people who consider they are
too good for us but can't leave us alone because they aren't allowed to cause
trouble on their own enlightened site. I honestly thought we were all going to
be happy in the new year with our own chosen company. Turns out I was wrong...
So I apologise for all the crap posts you are going to have to endure until
these people get bored with trying to goad me into a fight - just like they
always do, I guess some people just need to boost their ego at the expense of
others. And now we all know WillyTex has been booted off for being an asshole,
I suspect some of them will be trying to fill his mighty shoes with their own
brand of horse shit. Go figure.
So one last time dear FFLers, I'm sorry I fed the trolls. But you know it was
out of pure anger that they came back here and started digging up shit that was
patiently explained to them ages ago and that any actually intelligent,
reasoning human being wouldn't even have noticed in the first place. I should
know better and I promise to ignore them in future.

Judy, Thank you for being so generous, with me, and with your contributions on FFL. From: authfriend jst...@panix.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 11:50:55 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: An apology Bob-- This was a nice surprise, a very gracious apology that can't have been easy for you to make. Thank you, it's accepted. I couldn't figure out what the hell was up with you, but I'm glad for both our sakes that you've dealt with it. I think one way or another we've all got a sumo wrestler yelling in one ear and a hummingbird murmuring softly in the other, and it's often tough to get the listening balance right. I have heard the opinion vs. fact quote; it's one of my favorites. A political blog I read on a regular basis has it as kind of a motto. And I very much appreciate the comparison to Karen. I must confess, though, I don't bite my lip before I shoot. ;-) That's quite a clip. I should watch the film again; thanks for reminding me of it. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bob Price bobpriced@... wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcVP0uDh0i8feature=related Judy, I want to apologize for my behavior and some posts I made---accusing you of censorship; I was full of s*it and you were right to push back and correct me.

Not because of the way you have expressed yourself, but because of to whom it is addressed. Now I happen to appreciate the clarity and impartiality in most of what Judy writes; and certainly there is no one here on FFL who, in some formal sense at least, is a better writer than she is. But what I wish to draw attention to is what this post reveals about the person that you are. I doubt there are very many readers and posters at FFL who can imagine themselves under any circumstance writing with this kind of humility, sincerity, and intelligence—that is, inside the context of expiating for some self-judged wrong against another person. Did I know nothing about you; did I know nothing about the person to whom you are speaking, I would nevertheless admire—even love—the person who was capable of exhibiting such bright and intelligent feeling. What strikes me most in this post is the disarming boldness and coherence with which you make your appeal. There is not a touch of sentimentality or self-confusion here. I think it quite an extraordinary proof of the depth of personality and powers of self-command that you possess. I should have anticipated the response, which instead of catching at what I am trying to describe, focuses on the object of your apology. Even the fact of how you come across here—in the way in which I have interpreted you—says something positive about Judy. Because had it not been appropriate—or somehow excessive—for you to write in this way to her—then your post would have suffered from its very ambition: namely to do justice to another human being. That Judy could bring this out from within you, is a measure of who she is as a person. But what imperially forces me to speak here is my sense of who the person must be who was capable of putting themselves in the position you have and then finding the grace to write what cannot be misunderstood, what seems to almost perfectly fulfil its very real intention. Judy, I want to apologize for my behavior and some posts I made---accusing you of censorship; I was full of s*it and you were right to push back and correct me. I have no evidence to support such an accusation and you obviously don't behave that way. I also apologize for taking way too long to send this post, and hope it still qualifies as: better late than never.
