If I began a thread about a substance that is constantly used to abuse, perhaps not by you, but started this thread and mentioned how it affected my brain when typing....someone posted that when they read them the next day, they cannot believe they said that......anyway, started this thread and the substance they were all giggling about the mind altering affects took the life of a loved one.....and someone else found the jokes offensive...would you support them as I did ? Would you expected to have ridicule as a result ?
As opinionated as I am, I never ridiculed anyone for disagreeing with me... not made fun of them. And again, for the record, I simply agreed with a poster who found it a bit uncomfortable.....the entire and total posting would have been avoided save the sarcastic, the belittling attitude expressed in the posts....nothing more would have been said.
Again, not my intent to rain on a parade, but it is also not to allow my attitude and sensitivity to be mocked as someone who does not like fun or whatever else there is to come.
Would you expect to be referred to as someone who needed a soapbox ?
I simply supported two other posters and am glad I did.
I ask you to think about my questions and put someone who you love in the cross hairs of the joking about the mind altering affects..typing, remembering, etc...how booze is the centerpiece of having fun.
I did not start the back and forth but I will not back off as long as the ridicule continues.....obviously as the "scorekeeper" mentioned there were a few who have problems with the giggles and laughs associated with the mind altering affect.......I certainly would respect that and not ridicule it.
Sorry to be such a wet blanket....death to a loved one does that to you ! BUt only when folks find it funny what killed them !
