Any DUers I have ever fought with, now or ever, I apologize

[Taverner]

Life is too short to hold grudges

Make nice?

[valerief]

1. Are you trying to be a dick now? nt

[Taverner]

3. No. I'm not.

Trying to make nice

[valerief]

6. I didn't think the sarcasm tag was necessary, hehehehe. nt

[rufus dog]

2. Bite ME!

sorry had a bad day and never had a fight with you.

[Taverner]

4. Go have some BBQ

If you're a vegetarian have some smoked mushrooms and eggplant

Food is love

[Renew Deal]

5. Me too

:pals:

[NNN0LHI]

7. Fuck off

Just kidding around. :)

Never been a grudge holder either.

:hi:

[HFCanMan]

8. I've never fought with you but...

There is a first for everything lol.

I've seen many of your posts while lurking and I agree with a lot of what you say.

[WhiteTara]

9. Hey, Tavener

you be a friend. Life is very short. I miss Blondeatlast. Life is short. May you live long and prosper.

[Scuba]

31. +1

[calimary]

53. That says it for me rather expertly!

Life is short. I miss Blondeatlast too. You be a friend. May we ALL live long (and HEALTHY) and prosper.

And I don't hold grudges, either - except against republi-CONS, teabaggers, and bush defenders. :evilgrin:

[socialist_n_TN]

10. I don't think I've had any big fights with you Tav

So I guess that means if I did, I didn't hold a grudge. :)

[provis99]

11. From what I've seen, I agree with your posts.

Probably the same people you fought with are the same DLC drones who attack me on a regular basis here.

[Ohio Joe]

12. See... I never remember who I disagree with

I sometimes wonder if I ever confuse anyone by agreeing with them on one thread and disagreeing with them on another. heh, I really just don't pay attention to names like I should :D

[pipi_k]

16. Hahahahahaha!!!! See, that's one of the things

about getting older.

I can't remember that shit either.

Unless the fight was really memorable because the other person got nasty. In which case I just put them on ignore. But I try not to unless necessary.

In general, though, I can disagree with people and not hold grudges. And the same as you, I can disagree in one thread and agree in another. Sometimes I wonder if people think I have an evil twin or something....

:7

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. LOL

I'm always reminded who doesn't like me when a post below mine says something about The Poster Known as Ignored.

I try to agree with everyone at east once though.

[gateley]

26. I know! In a snit I'll put someone on ignore, discover sometime later when

get the "you have this person on ignore" message and have absolutely no idea why I was ever pissed at them! When all is said and done, I think we're all pretty nice and caring people who get riled at times. That tends to happen when discussing politics. : 7

I LOVE YOU ALL! : grouphug:

[pipi_k]

41. I've done that too

I had a couple of people on ignore for so long I couldn't remember why. So I thought, OK...I'll take them off.

Well. It didn't take long for me to be reminded why they were there.

But at least I can feel OK about trying...



PS...I actually don't mind getting riled. It's sort of stimulating, you know? What I won't tolerate is outright nasty from anybody. Oh, and people who threaten to put me on ignore simply because we don't agree...I do it right back. Not going to waste my time discussing with someone who doesn't even see me.

:+

[SoCalDem]

27. same here.. I never keep score

:)

[hfojvt]

28. I don't know why that would be confusing

It's not like I can be wrong ALL of the time, and a disagreement ought to be based on WHAT was said rather than on WHO said it. It you keep score or pay attention, you might question sincerity, like if a consistent Nader-basher suddenly posts something nice about Nader, or a Kucinich-basher about Kucinich , or a Hillary-basher about Hillary, but then again, it is not like Nader, Kucinich or Hillary can be wrong all the time either.

[valerief]

34. Me either. Takes too much brain power for me. nt

[FLPanhandle]

44. +1

I never pay attention to the names, just the message. Even if I did pay attention to the names, I wouldn't remember them for long.

[snooper2]

51. I don't pay attention to any names really, maybe 4 or 5 total

the rest are just random comments on a random messageboard on the intertubes..

I imagine some posters have a spreadsheet on the wall with names, dates, associates :rofl:

[Orrex]

13. I AM TOTALLY GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS FOR POSTING THAT!!!!!!1!

[Maru Kitteh]

18. What? You taking over for Skittles?

[Hutzpa]

37. What happened to Skittles? n/t

[DainBramaged]

14. Yes it is, make nice

:hug:

[hlthe2b]

15. Oh, my... I thought you were announcing the

Apocalypse.....!



whew ;)

[RoccoR5955]

17. Not me... I love a good fight.

Not that I have ever minced words with you, but we should be proud of our differences of opinions. It's what makes horse races. We are all different, and if we don't stick up for beliefs, what are we, any more than sheep?

[Joe the Revelator]

19. I'm with this guy

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Nice made. This post made me chuckle.

When I post things like this they invariably result in comments about my drinking habits.

Life IS too short and fleeting. I'm as astounded by how fragile human life is nearly as often as I am astounded by how resilient it is.

[petronius]

22. Nice try, but I will never forgive you for posting about

all those great-sounding beers I've never heard of, which causes me to go out and buy beer, which is directly responsible for my expanding beer belly. :grr:

[SoDesuKa]

[seabeyond]

24. i may disagree today, and agree on something else tomorrow. doesnt stop me from appreciating people

and their individual posts. time is too short to hold a grudge. meh, who cares about too short. too much work to hold a grudge, lol

[eppur_se_muova]

25. Yom Kippur already ?!? It can't be !

Where does the year go?

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Life is too short for grudges, I agree. I always try to remember not to take things personally on

a message board. DU is an addictive pastime, but it really means very little to my real life.

[TBF]

32. I actually think we sometimes have some interesting discussions on this board -

and you can't beat it for learning the news. But I completely agree about not taking anything personally, we're supposed to be talking about ideas as opposed to people. :D

[HopeHoops]

30. Oh yeah? Well FUCK YOU!

:hi:

Actually, I don't remember ever fighting with you, but if we did, things are cool. :hug:

Sorry about the subject line. It was just WAY too obvious and I couldn't resist.

[TBF]

33. You're not sick or something are you?

:P

[ChiciB1]

35. As A TRUE Liberal I Have To Agree For The Most Part... My Sister Just

died and with five of us left a certain vulnerability has seeped into our "reality of life!" Still, with all that seems to by DYING here in America there certainly are times I wish I was no longer here!

No, I'm NOT suicidal, but most certainly in a deep state of depression not only because of my sister, but also because of what I FEAR about the future for "we the people" of America! My sister had been suffering and we knew it was coming and I'm glad she is suffering no more, still it has a different affect on you. When my parents died I grieved greatly, but a sister definitely hits closer in some ways. At least it has for us.

:shrug:

[Taverner]

39. That sucks - I, for one, am glad you're still here

:hug:

[ChiciB1]

45. Thank You... Didn't Mean To Get "Soppy" About My Sister... Just Wanted

to reply regarding the subject, but having just had the experience it seemed relevant.

In many ways we here may have to go through so much more, before THINGS "might" take a turn for the better. Right now, not so optimistic from where I'm sitting. Certainly I only have an historical reference regarding the depression, but back then it seemed people had nothing and were more willing to help their fellow man. Today there is too much wealth of others and we've kind of lost sympathy for those who are slipping down a slope where they may never recover.

I know I feel helpless even when I so desperately want to help those in need. We don't have money to spare, no way for many extras in our life, but we still have our heads above water. And I AM blessed that both of my children live close by and we spend a lot of time together. Thankful that we ALL get along and are there to give each other a hand. Sure, there are dust ups, but that IS normal. And of course, my other sisters and I are close even if we live in other states.

I know I have "family" and that means a great deal and even if our safety net gets tattered we can hold onto the threads and find a way to mend holes as we can.

But, oh so many others have so little and it truly worries me, but shames me at the same time! This country WAS so much better even 30 years ago. Patriotism is something people "wear" today, NOT something they do!

And for you... a :hug: too!

[AsahinaKimi]

36. You have always

been nice to me, I appreciate it.

[Peacetrain]

38. I can never remember who I had words with by the next day except one

:)..

Life is too short to hold on to grudges for more than 24 hours..

[Hutzpa]

40. I think back in the day, a true Liberal/Progressive

saw DU as a place to vent out our anger, until conservative ideas and thoughts start creeping
within whereas words such as trolls, bots, trollops etc became taboo.

These where words we used to express anger and disdain and it used to help ease the frustration
one felt toward BushCo et al. With the influx of different perspective we as a community became
engulf with the wrong agenda, instead of promoting new ideas, we spend our time attacking each
other, we use metaphor and psyops to discredit each other while at the same time restrictions on
using specific words became the norm, we are confronted with self aggrandizing and innuendos
followed by ginormous amount of egos that follows.

Threads after threads start calling for restrictions on what we say and how we say it, back then
it was fun, someone says something you don't like you take it as a grain of salt and move on with
your ego intact, you see the lighter side of things and focus on whats more important.

I have been here long enough to know that the internet does not control my ego.

[valerief]

42. There are so many "not real" people posting here (RNCers, Rushbots, for example) that

I just tell myself this post or that post is "not a real person". I see them as being paid to support the fascists and they're just doing their job. Not worth getting worked up over a "not real" person. Maybe they're real people when they're not doing their job, but while they are, they're "not real" to me.

[ChiciB1]

49. Hutzpa & valerief... You Both Knew DU The Way I Did... It Has Changed

BUT I most certainly know EXACTLY what you're talking about! That HOPE & CHANGE thing has become a facade!

Words matter, but it's ACTION that's the REAL reality. The action I thought would be just never manifested itself. At least not for me. I WORRY!
:loveya:

[Hutzpa]

55. There are times when I do feel as if we have lost our mojo

too much alerting and moderating, not enough substance.

Everything is simmer done to a pathetic ideologue, the very same thing
we fought hard against. Misdirections has become the order of the day.

I remember when DU used to ban members for providing links to websites
that are not substantives enough until the day google search was added
as an engine to search DU then everything started going down hill from
there.

[PeaceNikki]

43. The bulk of DUers can vehemently disagree on topic A and then fight together on topic B

And that's cool.

There are a few who hold grudges and get stalky and to them I say:

[Iggo]

46. No way, Dude.

The Beatles are waaaaaaay better than The Stones.

:P

[Taverner]

47. What makes you think I disagree with you? :)

For me, the Stones' best work is on par with the Beatles' best work

Their early years, however, The Beatles were better

:P

[Iggo]

52. Damn! There goes my fallback.

I was just gonna switch teams. (Stones are waaaay better than Beatles).

[Taverner]

54. The Stones did give us every album from "Between the Buttons" to "Emotional Rescue"

And yes, I admit it, I like Mick's falsetto voice on that song!!!

[LynneSin]

48. I know I can be a real bee-yotch

To be honest, it's easier to 'get into someone's face' when you have never met that person.

If I have been a bee-yotch to anyone I am sorry.

[immoderate]

50. I never fought with you that I recall. What am I missing?

:shrug:
