wstera: Yep ... it's 'virtual hell' to... ...be 'muzzled' on a censored board, ain't it? Operating within 'community standards,' that no one has defined. Never know who might 'disagree' with what you say and how you say it. Because if you don't express yourself in PRECISELY an 'acceptable' way on this board, Uncle Frank will call in his goons ... you know, those 'buddies' of his with 'military connections,' that he has posted here 'really' know what they're doing, that sorta party line ... <g> For 'god's' sake: don't invoke the wrath of Uncle Frank ... he might actually change the 'charter' of Voltaire's Porch to eliminate such 'troublemakers' as you may appear to be. The perception is all that counts, you understand. What 'type of poster' are you? THAT perception. LOL. With your creativity, I'm sure you could find 'acceptable' ways to 'say' what's on your mind.

Some people need more love from us. I think Bonnie has a lot of good stuff trapped inside of her. Everyone does. I think we can help her get it out. With enough love and good feeling, there is no one on earth who can help but become overjoyed and overflow with bubbling goodness. Some people have had it tough. There is a bitter taste in their mouth. Often it causes bitterness to flow out of them. When these people are surrounded by kindness, it acts as a huge Certs Breathmint. The bitterness disappears and smooth fresh air fills the body. Then for a period of time, that person can't help but share the love they have inside. All that cool freshness comes out. Much of it gets shared with others who may need some. It's contagious. Perhaps our Sister Bonnie has had a tough day. Many of us have. I'm passing out free Tic-Tacs and Certs to anyone who wants one. A lot of people may have bad breath after a day like today. He's a tidbit of my day: Approx. 200 yards from where my office/shop is, there was a murder that occurred this morning around 8:00 AM. A woman was shot dead. It was on this evening's news. Probably in tomorrow's newspapers. Last weekend, further down the block in the backyard of a large factory that is one of my accounts, some mischievous kids, broke into a pick up truck and vandalized it. Then they proceeded to take a joy ride on a forklift that was back there because it needed repairs. One kid apparently lifted up some heavy steel panels with it and possibly allowed it to come falling down on his 13 year old brother. The kid was crushed and killed. Made some of the newspapers and evening news. All this crap takes it's toll on me. I really hate it at times. The list goes on and on... Then I come home. It sucks when you see the verbal mistreatment of people on this new frontier of cyber space. Because of anonymity, it is so easy to be rude, mean or angry. So much negative energy is easily displayed. The thing that gets me is that because of anonymity, it is so easy to be a loving warm, kind, and concerned person. It's incredibly easy. The words "I love you" come out so easily. I don't have to look any of you in the eye. I don't have to feel silly, stupid, or embarrassed. It's even easier than saying stuff that annoys people. So many people are afraid to try it... Don't mind me. I just had a tough week... I love you all. -ClappyTheLoveBug P.S. Nite Y'all
