    I have no intention of re-reading the posts of someone who considers me to be blinkered, and to have lost objectivity and the ability to comprehend what I read. Assumptions made by you just because I do not share your point of view.

    Ok, but my posts are out there for others to see what I wrote, and from there, to decide whether what you took from it was fair.

    As Errata said, I didn't say you were blinkered.....

    And I certainly wasn't rude.;)

    I think you are in danger of being very blinkered here. Point me to a post where anyone has said the above?

    Yes your posts are out there for everyone to see what you wrote. This post should help them see that you contradict yourself.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    I read it as her saying she wasn't sure if your abuse had occurred when you were an adult, ( therefore, it was different from Jojo) not that she was questioning whether the abuse had occurred at all.

    Sorry marisco, but this subject seems to have made you lose your usual objectivity and comprehension of posts. Have you re read my posts because I really wasn't saying what you thought I was.

    Exactly this. I don't question your abuse for one second, Marisco xx
    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    You were quite obviously questioning whether the abuse I suffered actually occurred. Yet you have the gall to say that I have been disrespectful and made disparaging remarks to someone who has suffered abuse. There is nothing worse than to raise doubts that someone has been a victim of abuse. With all the experience you claim to have you should be well aware of that.
    The meaning of the adjective 'apparently' in the context in which it appeared is 'evidently' or 'obviously', and that's how I read it, as others may have done, but clearly not you.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    Nor did I. I read your post exactly opposite to how it was portrayed by Skitler, I think she has misunderstood what you were saying.

    theres a good reason why you don't understand, you read what you want to and make assumptions, based on who knows what.

    for example, who is she?

    some folk eh!!

    If you really think those posts say the same thing your comprehension skills are sadly lacking.


    you challenged, it was accepted, and you where found wanting.

    Not the case in the slightest! I love how some people have the ability to pick and choose what they see and ignore anything which doesn't "fit" with what they ae tryng to prove/say.

    In other words .... :p
