My Formal Apology...

minks · Post by **minks** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 8:24 am

I would just like to say, no matter what is dredged up, in FG about Jives and placed in plain view for everyone here to see, how about we just let everyone have their right to make their own choices. Some of us are accused of jumping on the "defence" band wagon while others are trying to encourage others to hate Jives, maybe some are jumping on the hate bandwagon. It's about choice so perhaps now we can see we are all allowed that freedom, the choice of what to believe. Please people we are all humans, we all are capable of making our own choices.... lets let it be just that our individual choosings.

This is huge mess, it's causing a huge rift in FG among people who generally all get along well. And as Peg stated a couple days back when members left .... Jives won. NO Jives did not win a thing, the winners are those who can deal with this whole debacle in a way that makes themselves happy, again... choice. I sincerely hope those members who have left because of Jives will find their way back when the healing is done, if not I hope they are happy where they have gone.

Just a thought, is it not wrong to promote hatred? Please I am not poking sticks at anyone at all. We just need to work harder at getting our harmony back in FG.

What minks said!

Remember, there's always the "Ignore specific poster function", that does not seem to be taken advantage of!

I "dug" this up from April...:wah: , SO WHAT????????????????????????????????

NO I wasn't looking for it....!

You who posted here thinking ulterior motives, have incredible preconceived ideas...Please, for the benefit of YOUR peace...get over it.

I am reading everything on Jives. Period. I said before I make up my own mind about a person. Anostopheles wrote in another thread to do exactly that to learn about him. I was doing that before his recommendation, because that is the kind of person I am. I LEARN. I LISTEN...I DETERMINE..I MAKE UP MY OWN MIND, BUT I MAY NOT PUBLISH MY FINDINGS....

I've received PM's telling me about Jives. I've have received nice pms apologizing to me re: the Jives fiasco.

I received a very nice PM from Minks, as well...last night.

I don't want to insult anyone, but your witchhunt regarding me, really has to stop.

I'm starting to get the impression, some of you like to provoke, just to see what I'm going to write.

Now...to answer Nomad's monosyllabic tonal questioning under the Gestapo Hotlamp in the basement of the bunker..... I referenced the post up above simply because it was creative and funny and my way of giving credit to the individual who thought it up.

This forum doesn't have a rep system here for clever writing and good commentary so I do the next best thing, and "bump" it and highlight it for recognition.

Now, if you all think something else was intended, you are all entirely mislead by your own imaginations.

Nothing deleterious going on here folks. You can move along, now....nothing to see...

and please..put me on ignore if you like...please do.

...except for Uncle Kram...he's funny.

Elouise was following advice from one of the founding members of the forum. If anyone has a problem with her motives, look to that post. Suggesting that she be limited to only looking at one particular thread is rather silly and controlling...hence, my guess, the gestapo references.

Hi Jives, I missed all of the trouble, but its good that you are back and that you stepped up to the plate on your indiscretions. I am also glad that the landing the plane thing is true as that was a great story.
