Man. what's going on here. I didn't look at Feelings for 2 days and it's on fire again. Anyone got Christine's phone number. Maybe she can put it out. Y'all need to cool off. I think that this is still one of the best places to post and sometimes just lurk.

Even if you leave CB, I bet you'll peek once in a while. Why not just stay. It builds character. I'm sure that what you perceived is not what Lather intended.

Coby, I am posting this to LRR as well as to you, so don't be surprised to see it twice.

Now hear this, thread! I just messed up dreadfully on what promised to be a warm and enjoyable friendship through a morass of misunderstandings. It pains me to see it happen again so soon between people whom I like so very much.

It appears perfectly obvious that LRR meant his posting to be a source of amusement to Coby. There was no desire to hurt, I am quite sure.

It also appears that Coby did not hear LRR's apology with attempt at explanation as a proper apology.

That you both feel hurt should tell each of you that you care about each other, even in the amorphous world of cyberspace--otherwise, you would simply click past each other and ignore.

I am a relative newcomer to this thread, yet I have learned to cherish both of you and should miss both of you dreadfully if either of you were to leave the thread--or even to stop posting to each other. Your exchanges are often delightful to all of us. Little digs from idiots are as inevitable as invasions from the Ask God aliens; they are worthy of a click past.

I think that Lather is upset because he felt as though you were pointing a howitzer at him for posting what he thought would amuse you; I suspect he thought that, at worst, you'd respond with, "Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to find these quotes humorous." I think he feels hurt because he meant no harm. I think he is deeply hurt that you could ascribe malice to him about you.

So please don't go. Your thoughts are worth sharing and if you go off the DAR thread as well because of this Neocon person, you will be sorely missed.

Both you and LRR have fine minds that inspire the rest of us and give us joy. Who you are as a person is a joy. When there is ugly static, ignore it, as I do.

Do stay on "feelies" and if the topics of discussion pall, start a new one of interest to you.
