On "hurtful words":

Imagine lying on your back on sunny beach and having someone massage your back with Shedds Country Spread - kinky, but fun. Actually, all the hydrogenated vegetable oil would be quite soothing.

Now imagine the same scenario, but you had just been dragged from the stake after taking forty lashes. Forget about the soothing oil, think of the salt! Imagine the pain!

Now note - in the first instance the person with slippery fingers is a mensch; in the second instance a heel.

In order to determine what is hurtful, we need to examine both the weapon and the target.

And in order to consider consequences, we need to evaluate both intention and awareness.

Sometimes when we come to the board we are in pain - a relative ill, a dear pet deceased, a job lost, a love forsaken. These wounds are usually open and evident. Other times we are in pain because the abuse we have taken from family, friends, and/or co-workers - these wounds are often hidden or disguised. One disadvantage of internet communication is that we can not assess another's pain through visual inspection. Nor, can we always determine how another will react to our words. Many can take offense when none is intended.

When you announce a personal decision with which you have grappled for months only to find much of your support group turn openly hostile - the wounds, though hidden,  are deep and slow to heal. (See Jane's post of the other day!)

Another problem with the internet - it's hard to have make-up sex when neither party is posting. So, Cilla and David, please come home - your family needs you.

The actress playing the mother of Rita Hayworth in STORY ON PAGE ONE, is Katherine Squires - a performer who irritates me to no END in everything I have ever seen her in.

DRs might remember her as the teacher that the rich man brought to a bomb shelter in an episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE....and she played Franz Liszt's mother in SONG WITHOUT END.....anyway....

I have had a response from DR Cillaliz to my email.

Her decision is based on many factors, and posts by many DRs.  My post was apparently just the last straw for her.  And she did feel that it was a personal attack.  I certainly did not intend it that way, but I understand from her perspective how it was received.

I truly regret that intemperate words on my part were hurtful.  I have apologized to DR Cillaliz, and I apologize to all of you.

DR Cillaliz is not returning to HHW.  For now.  She may perhaps, one day.

And I guess I feel that, having been a factor in all of this, I should do the same.  I do not want to be a negative force in any community.  

So I regretfully bid you all adieu.  For now.  And I hope that any I have offended can find it in their hearts to forgive me.

Thanks for listening-
-David



I have to say this is one of the craziest things i've read here. You are one of the kindest people on the board. and you hurt someone's feelings unintentionally. And you apologized. Oy.

There are so many more important things. DR Danise lost her bear.  My sister's dear friend's 2 month old baby has pneumonia and is in the hospital very ill.

People's feelings get hurt. I guess i can understand why DR Cilla wanted to leave. But in the grand scheme of things i think we should support each other.

Yes, but Martin Denny proved to be a little too old for the young buck and a sticky divorce followed.

I am sorry to see people leave. I have left myself before after getting my feelings hurt, but I can tell you that I missed this palce horribly when I was gone. I would be very surprised if others who have left don't feel the same.

I do hope decisions will be reconsidered, but, in the end, they are their decisions to make.

Good morning!

An overcast morning has given way to bright sunshine and blue skies. Looks like it's going to be a nice early fall day. (High 79).

Can't wait to see the new season of DEXTER and TRUE BLOOD has rapidly become a real favorite.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BROTHERS & SISTERS seems almost like afterthoughts, though I'll likely watch them and save the pay cable shows for tomorrow.

Considering the unhappiness many have expressed with the choices, perhaps we should re-run the Primaries :D

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe that TCB is also exiling himself, if I understood his email to me last night correctly.

I would just like to say to everyone, whom I love and/or tolerate dearly (that's a joke, folks):  don't take it so personally.  Lord knows people have been "rude" or "insensitive" or "completely braindead" ;) with me, and after creating my little voodoo dolls and sticking them with pins, I let bygones be bygones.

I am not so happy to awake to the news that three of our beloved posters may have departed this site over POLITICS!  In fact, I am livid about it.  I guess I'll write some e-mails right now.

I just rustled up three eggs that were not too pooped to poach - so, with some buttered rye, they were eagerly devoured.
