If you had been saving your own posts and reading them after the fact, you would discover what is self evident. Do your own search just by entering your name. I guarantee you, if you are really interested in trying to do better in the future, and keep an open heart, it won't take long for you to know why I'm taking the time on this matter.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">If I have put myself in a bad light with others, I certainly would like to make it right, if possible. This current thingee, was misinterpreted by most. I did not mean to be a bully. Only to point out protocol and courtesy.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>The problem with your intense reasons to point out so called protocol and courtesy violations is that it's only aimed in specific directions. If that were truly your objection, why don't you go after all the others like Ron Nossaman who never signs his complete name, or Avery, who likewise doesn't comply to your demands for courtesy.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Let's face it, whether you know it or not, you're discriminating on some level who to go after and who to leave alone. And that's something you are going to have to figure for yourself why you're doing that, and figure out the measures that you will have to take to wean yourself out of allowing such behavior to reside in your being.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I apologize, if I was out of line.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>I'm believing in you, Joe, to start waking to these self evident truths, that you are, and can be, so much more for your own self, and for others as well, if you'll let the Holy Spirit speak to you on these matters.</div> <div><br></div> <div>It's a glorious place when one leaves behind the old ways, and allows new things to be created in them.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Take care, Joe.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Keith</div> </body> </html>
