I was waiting for someone else to say it but it does not look like anyone else had.
Maybe they did not think they should but I felt it important for my other friends to know this as well. All fences are mended between Texastar (chi wah wah lover{I write it like this because I cannot spell it}) Elkhound and I.
All of this happened because of stupid debates. While the debates themselves were not stupid everyone involved, including the people not mentioned here are all guilty of taking things way to personally and I am not exempt from that.
Remember folks you can say to someone, “That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.†And not say you are the,â€stupidest person I ever met.â€
Likewise the phrase does not mean they think you are stupid just whatever you said was.
Everyone has something valuable to offer not matter what their beliefs, biases, affiliations, orientation, profession etc.
So far here at mybloggers the only time I have seen anyone attack someone was me and I apologized for it immediately. I believe it was justmyopinion. I am still sorry for that.
Remember even when you disagree with someone you can still state your case without name calling or personal attacks. In fact, say you are a Christian (I am just using this as an example no one person is in this thought) and you want someone who is gay to find Christ. You will never get that outcome if you focus on him or her being gay but instead introduce him to Christ and leave his sexuality between he and God. You can insert any thing there instead of gay….pagan….Muslim….transvestite…conspiracy nut :p amerigobard) what have you. You can still debate with him with out calling names and when you feel the word faggot or “why would you care you are gay†ready to slide off your tongue. Take 24 hours to wait before you reply. Then you have had time to rationalize and you hot blood time to cool. This is a lesson I learned long ago but often times I ignore because those foolish things I have said seem so much more important at the time then you wake up having lost a friend or maybe more.
Sometimes people will disagree with you and there is nothing you will ever be able to say to change their mind and that is when you have to decide to I accept this one thing about him to still have all the things I love? Or is this one thing so bad that I cannot enjoy the things that make him wonderful. Keeping in mind acceptance does not mean approval.
The bickering that was going on between we three was never worth a very good friendship being torn apart.
