38. My, what a hateful little guppy you are!
I was warned by other members here to watch out for the +1000 post bullies. I really didn't think anyone would be so juvenile- but I stand corrected.

Since you must have read through my journal here on DU to pick up the fact you know I am from Fort Collins you have gone out of your way to be rude, insulting, and petty. Stocking is against the rules in DU, so I doubt you ran my IP address to pinpoint my location. Did you do a google search for my name? I think the pictures on the internet make me look heavy even though my BMI is 20%. Yeah- at my age I do need to loose a few pounds.

I won't apologize for my spelling. I was diagnosed late in life with a rather severe dyslexia. When I was a kid the bullies called me stupid, retarded, loser. They didn't have a name for not being able to spell other than those cruel hateful terms. I did get though High School and during a brief stint in the Navy, I was diagnosed. Since then I've graduated College and have a Masters Degree in Special Education. I now work with kids with problems like mine.

I stay away for the most part from any forums since even with years of treatment, training, counseling I am sensitive about by problem with putting words together correctly. I can read your words and most of the time they make no sense until I try to look at them. Then they fix themselves. Same with my words. Even after spell check, when I remember it, they look right even when they don't. Talking with my therapist he suggested I become a member of a few on line pages in order to practice. I chose DU because the majority of the people here believe in the same things I do. Of course, there are always a few who prey on anyone they think is weak.

Bullies are often lacking in self esteem. If I was a Fruedist I would say your inner anger was a result of sexual abuse from your father. Native Americans would say you just have a bad soul. I have another word for you but rules on DU must be followed by us low post count freshman.

So, what have we learned here? 1) The best way to deal with a bully is to confront them in a calm rational manner. 2) Use the rules of the forum to protect yourself. You have personally attacked me and stocked me. Oh, look! An Alert Button. .
3) Tolerance for others is a keystone in the beliefs of the Liberal. You haven't shown anything other than lockstep hate and talking point spew from the DNC (reference your position on Gibbs in various posts. Hmm. The search function is very handy).

You have a nice day.
