Apparalyzed

Hi folks,

I just wanted to say that bullying is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, I want to say hi, that I am 67 and a high lesion para for the last 40 years (if I am fortunate enough to survive till July 1st), and THEN I want to say : Bullying is in the eye of the beholder.

I used to post a lot on the A site, during a period of two or three years. I often said things that were pretty rough, but that was because I felt passionately about the subject at hand. There were others that had that attitude too. One of them, whose name I have forgotten, eventually succumbed to his own demons and blew his brains out. But I am sure that there are people who are alive today, in large part thanks to his special brand of "tough love". And not participants necessarily, but also the more retired lurker type who reads more than they post. Such people watch the arguments that develop and identify with strong characters. As I believe, the man referenced made a great role model (right up until he lost it).

So... Bullying no. But disagreement. And very vigorous disagreement, is good for the soul.

Hope everybody is doing great tonight. It is a miracle being alive. Feel the Love !
