[> Subject: Good bye Mark Author: JeffF [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:41:17 08/19/01 Sun Mark, I don't know what prompted this. Maybe I should have my head examined, but in a bizarre way, I'll miss you at times. I always thought you had some good points on some issues,including the different reactions to men and women who wanted sex, but too often they would get lost in your excited rants and preconceived notions that you couldn't rid yourself of. I have to say that if one person repeats the same lie over and over again(such as stating that you were banned from the hearth for your opinions) that doesn't make it the truth, even if the lie isn't intentional. Nevertheless, I always thought deep down you were a decent person and in your own way cared about people. At any rate, you were impossible to ignore, try as I sometimes would. I'll drop a note in Pietro's inbox at the hearth telling him what you said, in case he doesn't read here. If you remember two things from me, try these: It's easier to convince people you have something to say and get them to consider your opinions when you stay calm. Repeating things in a sarcastic screaming rant over and over again doesn't convert anybody to your viewpoint. The other thing is that the world isn't all black and white. Most people aren't just liberal or conservative. Many of us who didn't like Bill Clinton like Dr. Laura even less, so don't jump to the conclusion that because we don't care for Clinton means we like Dr. Laura or Bush for that matter. Most wars have more than one side to the story. So do most marriages(though granted not all). The world is a complicated place, Mark, and the majority of people can't be classified as "good" or "bad" because they have both in them. Stay calm and listen and really hear what other people have to say and they'll do the same for you. At any rate, I echo Clint's sentiments. I don't know why you're leaving and whether it's just this board or all boards, but as Clint said I hope you find peace. Much as you can drive me out of my mind at times, I don't want you heading to an early grave. Calm down and don't take everbody's opinions so personally and you'll live longer.
