To Minnie

[Johnny Hess]

Hi Minnie,
I really feel bad about angering you. Please understand that I was dismissed by that lady with a "blah blah blah" -- and I over reacted, writing before thinking. I am sorry for alienating you with my rude post to you-know-who. Even Colonel Sanders occassionaly blurted out things he should not have said. I should have ignored the other lady's post instead of venting. I hope you and the others I offended will overlook my too-quick and too-rash post. I deeply regret it. Again, please understand that I was really offended by someone dismissing my heart-felt post with a "blah blah blah". Give me another chance -- I will live up to my "Southern Gentleman" appellation. I really like you, Minnie. r.

You should really have that looked at.

Hi Denise,
I notice that you are either a working psychologist or at least very interested in psychology. Don't you think everyone has that chatch all aliement now called "bipolar disorder"? In my day it was called "manic depressive disporder".) Anyway, I have always had this bad problem in feeling worthless and having to prove my worth. I was wondering -- don't most people feel like this? Isn't that why most of us write -- to justify our worthless being in so-called real life? Frankly, I feel intensle the fact that I am just one/three-billionth of the population on earth. Very insignificant and virtually worthless in the Big Picture. But you're a psycologist and may give this writer a new insight, if you'd be so kind. You may email me a personal note if you wish at rlfulgham@hotmail.com -- but I don't mind if others see your response. I guess I got angry with Leslee because she dismisses me so quickly and, I think, presumptiously. But really, aren't most of writers like this?

Richard, it's door number two. I am very interested in human nature.

Being bipolar is no excuse for going off the deep end at someone who only said, "blah, blah, blah." Harsh words, I know, but get a grip, man. I have been hanging out in a writing group that makes WN look like kindergarten. "Blah, blah, blah," did not deserve a character assassination.

I have only been on the internet for a year. I think you have probably been online for many years. And you are older too. Both things tell me that you should have learned more restraint by now, to temper your words with wisdom.

You have cried wolf many times in the short time I've been here. Yes, you probably are bipolar. That's why I said you ought to have that looked at. I bet you already have. I think you know exactly what you are doing, and that makes it even more embarassing to watch.

Did I miss something, is this really a new topic or a bunch of people wailing in public ?

Just whining

Johnny, I'm sure we've all said things in anger that we later regret. It's the things you said that bother me.

I'm not the one from whom you should be seeking forgiveness.
