Aug 2014

Some of us are more knowledgeable about this subject matter and, others are just beginning their journey to self awareness. Sitll others are completely happy where they are and, see no need to change.

I understand insults and, when I fly off there is no telling what may pop out of my mouth.

However, I have found that on DU3, out of respect for others and, to avoid getting a hide, it is best if I stick to non-gender insults.

Interesting thing is happening, in that I am finding less and less need to call on those words and am becoming more inventive and creative on how I insult.

Also, of note, I find that as I become more comfortable in my own skin I feel less and less the need to insult at all.

Peace.

i perused, and i perused only half. more an exercise for you, i think. BUT... seabeyond Aug 2014 #1
