Title: My apologies to the community
Post by: Kelley Jo on November 16, 2008, 12:16:18 AM
Last night I became involved in a discussion wherein I made some off-handed and insensitive remarks. The conversation was flowing fast and I did not fully consider the repercussions of what I said. Some were offended and I can certainly understand why. I did not mean to hurt anyone with words but as I am new here I don't yet understand how things work, I invariably cross personal boundaries with some of you. For that I am sorry.

At the same time it seems necessary to defend my right to be here for some reason. That is something I will work out with myself. In the mean time please take what I say with a grain of salt as I work out with myself how I relate to you all. If I didn't value you all...I would just go away...I've spent my life doing that so it wouldn't be much different now.

In the short time I've been here I've received alot of love and support. I don't want to lose that over some minor disagreement of philosophy or semantics.

Love to you all,

Kelley

Everybody's tempers and opinions get going at some time or another Kelley, so I don't think you need to worry too much. If you have offended anybody, I'm sure this apology, which I think is just SO cool, will fix things.

Big Hugs,

~Simone.

Kelley:

I don't hang out on the chats, so I don't know what transpired, but if you are remorseful about your actions, then that should be good.

Regardless, though, as long as you treat people with respect you will be treated with respect.  I have no ill feelings about you and you are welcome here.

*hug*hug*hug*hug*hug*!

Thank you, Simone. I could use a big hug right about now.

{ HUGS } ;)

Yup, things DO get volatile here at times. But I was really enjoying and learning from your viewpoints in that thread too! I was really disappointed when it sounded like you might leave over it all. I'm so glad you're sticking around ;)

Families fight and feud, it is part of being a family.  And you are part of our family.

I was wanting to reply on the other thread but i saw it was closed.

Nov 20th is the day to remember our dead those who have been murdered and killed violently by angry hateful people or by biggots or homophobes etc . 

Please understand why some need to protect themselves even more than say other's. 

Myself if i was young i would not even be posting about those who are older out of self protection that i might insight them to track me down. I know in the past i was tracked down and i had to keep moving so please be safe.

I steer clear of men and have dressed down so as not to attract them. I learned my lesson from the past experiences and i exscaped unscathed.

Please be safe my lil sisters and you will find people your own age if you try dating outside of online sites.

Violence against anyone at anytime for any reason other than self-defense is wrong. Every TS girl should know that toying with a hetero guy is asking for trouble. The wise gals here will tell you honesty is the best policy. If you get smacked around by some dude after you have lied to him you would be right to complain that he was in the wrong.

But is it better to be right, or safe?

These young girls today know this and the other young guys who date them in real life are open minded and don't mind like the older guys of the past.
