WOW Janet. Talk about needing to calm down. (Are YOU okay?)janetupnorth said:My goodness guys! Knock it off and quit telling people to get over it. That just adds fuel to the fire. The comments above were a direct result of some rude comments last night. Then people came on after those comments were deleted or changed and said, "I don't see where they are being negative." ...and negated the fact that someone was called a racist. I'm sorry, but being called a racist WAS A NEGATIVE PERSONAL ATTACK.
I've haven't heard anyone "dissing" Obama today. I've heard, I'm not happy, BUT I will support and pray for him and his family and things like that. People are trying to move on but keep getting told not to say ANYTHING else in any, way, shape or form that can be construed as negative.
Right when I think it's done and we are moving on...the same comments come up again. Are people even reading dates/times on comments and knowing what they were in response to?
I already put in a request this a.m. to create a 2008 election sub-category and archive these threads. I hope it happens now.
Steph asked me a question, I answered, Sandy agreed - going back further brings us to your post. You and others have no problem inserting your opinions in your posts but boy if we do we're being personal or taking something personal and when anyone disagrees you are so quick to point out how we're wrong and how we're over reacting - I think that's what's happening here too.
We can't help what someone chose to delete (and it sounds like it was good they did delete). We are commenting on what we see (I did not see the offending posts) and on what we've been hearing all these months over and over again. Every time we say something that you all don't agree with we are wrong. WOW
Personal? Yes it's personal. And offensive. I have stated several times that I do listen to both sides (Limbough, etc as well as the "MSM") but I heard you all say that you won't even listen to Obama - well, if you won't listen there's no use in trying to appease you or whatever it is you want. On this forum we have often been able to have discussions and disagreements without pain to each other but it's not so in this case. Please take a break and let it heal. I know you're disappointed but the world isn't ending.
I agree that we ALL need to get over it and move on.
