Hey Occulties,

Apparently I’m a big meanie for trying to have what I thought was a fun debate, where the other person, who I believed totally into it since they were keeping it up with what I beleived was some dumbing things down (to exaggerate,) and some rude bright red lettering, and etc (smiley emoticons were totally in play on both sides,) and this person actually had a tantrum, wrote out a long diatribe, and fled my Hoodoo For Everyone group. You know, that scream and run off into the night before I can respond thing! Seriously! No, I wasn’t trying to be mean!

Can y’all tell me when I’m getting mean? Because that’s not me mean. If people think that’s me when I am mean, never get me mad, its going to be a rude awakening should you do so. I was having fun and writing up 2 huge responses for both posts, and DAMN! some people are sensitive!

Seriously…next time you see me get mean (I try to be nice most of the time,) just privately contact me and say I’m being mean… Unless I’m burning someone who deserves it like Fruitbar D or a plagurist or something. 😉

Thanks everyone… So much for a fun heated scholarly debate! As I said, if you can’t stand the heat, don’t light a fire in my kitchen! (Cuz, something’s already alwyays cooking in there.)

Can people who like scholarly debates come to the HFE board? I’d be a happier person, and not feel bad when I apparently inadvertantly offended someone who I guess was actually trying to offend me with the dumbing down and red type that I thought was just for fun.

Note to self: use more smiley emoticons so as to scare off less people you think you’re debating with.

Again, damn!

    Cat, you are hilarious. I understand exactly where you are coming from. Some folks can be overly sensitive.

    I haven’t been around the board lately (overwhelmingly difficult time constraints, not for lack of interest etc.) so I really have no clue what is going on in this particular instance.
    Unfortunately, I’ve had similar experiences on another occult board, often for not covering basic stuff in each post. I assumed that most people that were participating knew their stuff, and it didn’t need to be broken down into the minutia. Or someone misunderstood my tone because I honestly thought that they would understand, and I wasn’t using emoticons >:/
    I have never seen you be rude or harsh with anyone, but on the contrary, patient and giving to a fault. Hope that this experience doesn’t burn you out. If I have learned anything in the past few years, it is that some people go out of their way to be offended, no matter how good your intentions are, or gracious your demeanor. Some people are incredibly hyper sensitive, and take a dissenting opinion as a character judgment. Not sure what to do with these types yet other than ignore them.
