i'm not offended by anyone. sometimes my words seem harsh. but in those cases, i am not irritated, nor am i upset with anyone.
someone wise once said:
Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.

believe me when i say, you did not offend me with the truth.
if i were to be offended by your truth, which is the truth, then that would be my fault and my downfall, not yours.
in some cases i may seem harsh with my words. in some cases it is neccesary to do so, to battle someone's ego which is blocking a person's true
mind within.
in fact, that is why a moderator has given me a warning. in a thread in the Alien's forum entitled "Who the greys are", i called someone an
"idiot", and then in the next sentence recanted, and apologized to that person for calling them an idiot.
but, a certain mod (who was probably right for doing so) gave me warning, and deducted 500 points (i think??) from me for having done so.
but that mod and i have had a rather heated debate of words in a different forum, and a different thread. i may have hurt his ego slightly, but only
because my words were a truth that he/she may feel made them look bad.
if 500 points is a price to pay for bringing their truth to the surface, so i could here it, then it was worth it. sure, i may have ruffled some
feathers, however, i did teach a thing, and more importantly:
the mod taught me something new through their actions and behaviors. and, i love to learn new things. but sometimes i have to push them into a
corner to hear their truths, which is what i want to hear in the first place, but unfortunatly some people hide their truths from me, behind masks and
the like.
i know it seems i am rambling, my point is that no one offends me, ever.
my other point is, when i offend someone, it more than likely is because they are holding back their own thoughts, and i am trying to set their own
thoughts free.
so, crowpruitt, you did not offend me at all by sharing truth with us.
i thank you whole heartedly for your time and your contribution.
thanks,
john paul peter
