21. My OP is stating exactly what I meant it to.

May 2014

I HAVE seen it happen, over and over and over. Just as I saw the same, relentless bullying that drove a good friend to becoming very ill, just as I saw her illness used against her. You might want to ignore the bullshit ........ I can't, and have never been able to. My Dad used to cringe every time he saw a mouse outside, because he knew I wouldn't let him rest until we caught it and moved it to a safe place away from the cats. That's how I am towards humans ... when I see anyone being mistreated, lied about, having their fears and concerns laughed away - it bothers me, a lot! I really couldn't care less how 'silly' you find it. More the power to you for not being able to see, let alone acknowledge and dredge up a bit of compassion and empathy for those it's directed towards.

I laughed at that "doing great things" comment and saw it as a slip R B Garr May 2014 #138

Who you directed that comment to pintobean May 2014 #160
