I'll certainly take your suggestion under advisement however the purpose of starting this thread was to point out that one posting, on this forum SPs, merely reflects a fraction of the SPs person as a whole. It's highly doubtful an SP discusses politics and the like while in CG position. How does one engage in politically charged, highly opinionated sex?Curious why you would even continue this by starting this thread? Maybe you were looking for a reason to vent. No harm in that. We're all guilty of it.
Obviously it's still bothering you, but posting private text messages and stuff is a little excessive? Seems like you're seeking drama, purrrhaps. (Something I know a little bit about, myself...)
Take some advice (why can't I take my own?????), let it go and just enjoy your life. If the big kids don't want to let you play in their sandbox, go and make your own.
Admittedly it was in the back of my mind..and saved on Word, for it to be properly referenced at a later date, but I was waiting for the appropriate opportunity to use it. And the partial quote was the perfect segue. The invitation was given because of the heated posts and your're only getting a marginal view of what the person is made of while reading their posts.
A text message, or whatever mode of communication, posted without any identifying details isn't confidential at all since anyone other than who was directly involved wouldn't know who was being implicated. Things like this happen everyday to protect the source. Just who did I harm in publishing my experience without any names or hints of who the source was? I did just that, protect the source, which brings me to my next point, gossip.
One minor point came to light was the hypocrisy (however you spell it) on what prompted another quick verdict. I'm of the belief and ethic that if you are to make claims, no matter how outrageous or trivial, that there is evidence to support it. I'm still waiting for the grounds of which I'm a "gossip" in their eyes. Nothing, nada, zip. Completely baseless. If one is to grow and learn from their mistake no matter what it is, they need to know what/how they did wrong.
The hypocracy came when being branded a "gossip" when again, no one knew who I was alluding to other than the key people present. The subject posted publically implicating themself and other people. Call me a gossip but only doing it oneself by posting. Much worse because it's an SP and a high profile one at that.
I can't imagine one subject is any more dramatic over another if it provokes enough to garner replies and additional pages. Isn't that the true testiment of all things exciting? Replies and additional pages? Replying only perpetuating the theme of the thread even if the intention was to offer an opinion?
Yeah, Avarice, it does suck but I'm not losing, or have lost, sleep over it. I just figured that with age comes wisdom and maturity, I'm not getting any younger but it surprising to come across adults behaving like children.
