&lt;P&gt;It's pretty sad that the troublemakers, seem to spend all their time, stirring a pot, that is much overdone.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And there IS real life outside the boards...so that lately I've not been posting as much.  Today is a rare exception, as I have to thank all those who have the kind words, that really help.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the future, the Fray will be like giving up gambling...for there are things to do, that are far more important, and those deserve far more time and attention.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You are a very good poster, and I've missed seeing your posts....very much.  I wish you all the luck one needs these days to survive, and hopefully, there IS a better day coming for all of us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;And yes, I have even let slip a time or two that I think jealousy has much to do with it.  Not to take away the 'talent' from another one who hates me, for she has written some really great free verse, and I used to tell her so.  A gift that I cannot do myself.  Except that instead of expanding as much on those as she could have, she channeled her talents into an entirely different direction...one that has gotten us from point A years ago, to the divided road where we are today.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have a ton of friends through my poetry site, and those along with certain ones of you, will get my attention from now on:-)  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Gee!  I remind myself of Sarah Pain in a way...people either like me or they hate me.  Except that I can't see Russia from Kansas, darn it, so I don't even have that to crow about:-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your support Wulk...and you will hear from me now and then...and who knows?  I may be like so many others...so addicted to this, that a month off will give me a whole new lease on it?  Just imagine the flak I'd catch were that the case:-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Until next time our paths cross, take care Wulk.&lt;/P&gt;

I'd be sad to see your name vanish from KFS. Did you ever think that the arseholes who shove out all the poison about you are just jealous? People with no talent of their own, slagging off someone who has it in abundance.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, you've got my E-mail addy, so, drop me a line from time to time, or even better drop a line in here. Have a rest, from the Fray, and, then, pick your moments.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Don't let the bastards grind you down, they're just a bunch of idiots, with the IQ of the average boiled cabbage, who can't argue politics, so, gang up in a vendetta against certain posters.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Regardless, I wish you well, with lots of love and laughter in your life.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: It's Time To Move On</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387516.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Feb 2009 01:20:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2387516</guid><dc:creator>Loree</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387516.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36702&amp;PostID=2387516</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;My dear Sea....you will always be one of those that I never forget, nor forsake.  We are miles apart, both in real miles and in our opinions often, yet you and I have always been able to converse.  You showed respect when I had something to say, and I sure hope that I retaliated in kind:-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You've been a great teacher, of getting me interested in 'green' issues, and you've cheered me up, and you've made me laugh.  Just as important is the laughter.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I will be gone from here, but not from giving you a 'call' now and then, on e-mail.  It's been a fun trip with you and the other people from the War Stories board especially, for all of you seem to have that 'something special' that contributes to leadership and intelligence, that far surpasses some of the rest of us.  Life's experiences have much to do with that....I think that two years ago, I did a lot of growing up in a hurry, as I tried to deal with life when it shattered around me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That is why I don't need this petty stuff now, don't have to endure it, and so no longer will.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'll leave the 'little ones' in the sandbox, where they can throw all the sand in each other's eyes that makes them happy:-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hey...adopt an under-privileged...a redhead:-)&lt;/P&gt;

I've always enjoyed reading the posts from you and the other outstanding posters here...all containing so much wisdom and sincereity.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It sure isn't hard to seperate athe adults from the kids on here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Did you ever take the Emode IQ test just for the fun of it online?  Some of us used to do it every year...and I invariably ended up a 'Libeterian...and hey, that was good.  I vote democrat, because the Republicans have been overrun by the Neo-Cons.  It's good though, that by so that, it has opened people's eyes to the need for damage control, working together when something is REALLY screwed up and out of whatck, to make it right...even across party lines.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; I'm just tired of the hassle of turning the other cheek, for I seem to be the target of choice, though Denny runs me a close race.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's sad when adults, who are old enough to know better, still have not found the capacity for acting, thinking, and coming across as adults.  But that is their loss.  The one thing they have in common, though, is a total lack of compassion, and have not the ability to put themselves in another's shoes, lashing out...with their soul goal to 'hurt' their victim.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I still believe that what goes round, comes round, and a person had better be prepared for that, even if they don't believe in the Golden Rule.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've always believed that God created all mankind EQUAL...with the only difference being the pretty colors they come in.The difference manifdests itself later...as they mature, in the way they conduct themselves, and the way they treat others.  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, I just do not need the stress, but I'm not a quitter either...I have some plans for keeping busy, and things I have to do while I still have the time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just don't let the contamination change you ever...for you are one more of the 'good guys'.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope you own a white hat:-)&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;But you know something?  It isn't the majority of the posters on here...it's that select few in that one little clique.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That is why I never like BOTF...they did the same thing over there, and STILL do.  It is almost like they are possessed...and they just do it wherever they poast...on each and every board they post on.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Who needs that?  I don't.  I have too many things to do, other than waste my time putting up with the stuff they throw, and their methods.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Nope!  I've had it with all of that.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Don't let the screen door hit ya LoreeLIES!</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387225.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:46:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2387225</guid><dc:creator>Loree</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387225.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36702&amp;PostID=2387225</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;You have no idea of what you are trying to talk about, poor thing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Of course Cat e-mailed you....of course she 'convinced you' that I was wrong.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I only use my 'Loree (Mason) O'neil on my website, as that was my maiden name.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've never used the 'Mason' on the Boards....ever.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now, I know the Fray has a cache of my posts, your posts, all posts.  But GOOGLE itself, (WWW) doesn't.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And when One can click on a GOOGLE LINK (from the GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE), that has my name on it (last count, she had posted four or five of them), and then click on the word 'cache, in that link, and it will take you right straight to Catnapping and posts by HER, then you know something is wrong.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But hey, that's okay....I'm fixing to have 'my day' right away...and it won't be on here, with the likes of you.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>I'll miss you Loree</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387131.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 23:19:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2387131</guid><dc:creator>mom</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2387131.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36702&amp;PostID=2387131</wfw:commentRss><description>I'm not sure if anyone has even noticed my absence, but I've found the Fray to be a much less enjoyable place lately as well. I don't know if it's the sock-puppets of old posters or "new" people from other boards coming onto the ones I frequent, but the dialog has become repetitive and quite boring, not to mention unpalatable in some cases.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure I'll continue to lurk on occasion, but my participation has been much less in the last couple of months.
