I'm so sorry.

Paul:

Just wanted to let you know, that I have beat myself up harder than anyone else ever has.

Took me a while to figure out not to do that so much (even though I still do from time to time).

I'm very glad yoy have decided to stay on. You still have to climb those hills in Scotland you know. Remember?

In this age of anything goes and it really doesn?t matter, why, when an objection is made to the showing of an animated pornographic picture of two cartoon characters having sex and leaving nothing to the imagination is the person who felt disgusted by it made to feel like they are making a fuss over nothing??
It all started on the Monthly Mods board under a thread called Once Upon a Time.. I was looking at the posts when I scrolled down to the last one on the page and saw what I have already described above..
I didn?t even object, all I wrote at the time was ? count me out, I?m getting off the bus?..
Now I am voicing my objection for the following reasons?.
For most of my life I have turned the other cheek, not wanted to make a fuss in case people didn?t like me,
Been to scared to to say what I really felt about something in case I wouldn?t be allowed to stay in the gang?
Well not anymore, since giving up alcohol I have found a new inner strength I didn?t know I possessed, and I?m not frightened to speak out anymore..
At any other time after seeing that picture I would have just gone to another part of the forum and not done anything about it, as a matter of fact, that is just what I did last night, then, I thought no, by doing nothing and ignoring it I was in a way giving permission for it to continue..So what would happen next?? Well why not the odd photo seeing as no one objected..And so it goes on?
Its nothing big which erodes our values and decency in society, rather, it?s a multitude of small, tiny acts which we allow to pass us by without saying anything?.
Gradually the boundaries are tested and pushed further and further afield, and when that happens wherever those boundaries stop is where they stay?Until the next time, when someone pushes them just a little bit again?..And notice, those boundaries never return to their original starting place?
So, for those of you who didn't know what all the fuss was about, well now you do..

I'm so sorry.

Paul - Glad to hear you're staying. You've been an inspiration to me - I always look forward to your honest posts, and you always have a good thing to say to others.

And of course you have friends - look at every one of these posts!

I'm so sorry.

IrishLady - we were posting at the same time.

I'm sorry that you had to experience that, and I understand your not wanting to let it slide - you explained that beautifully. Thanks for letting us know what happened, it's a good reminder to be considerate when posting.

I always enjoy your posts and look forward to more.

I'm so sorry.

Louise,

Thanks so much for your posting,

Paul Doesn't think that you are making a fuss over nothing which is why he offered to leave the site, I am also guilty for starting the flirting which led to his cartoon posting....

I have had PM's from Paul today worried about hurting your feelings ....

Louise, Paul is hurting ..... He only wanted to make people smile .....

I'm hurting too, I never wanted to offend anyone .....

Hi Everyone..just caught up with what all this is about. Irishlady, thank you for stating your position in such a powerful and non-offensive way..and Paul..no biggy, you made a mistake and isn't it wonderful to have friends that are not afraid to set boundaries. I hope to always see this MWO board a safe place for everyone to grow. A place to screw up if we have to, and many of us have and will again..and to have friends call us on it if necessary. I think a part of getting well is testing our new found wings..well, sometimes they'll get burned by the sun for flying too high, or they'll get clipped if they make too much of a mess. It's ALL good folks!
Namaste!

Hello Fan,

Yes , an issue was brought up but as I was involved I felt it couldn't be resolved satisfactorily until people;

1. Knew what that issue was about..
2. Heard my side of things..

[Diana]

I'm so sorry.

Dear Friends,
I have just read all the posts and as a person who had to deal with conflict for many years in my professional life I would like to say that the issue has now been handled to everyone's satisfaction. Please stay Paul, you can't change what happened but you sure can change today and through changing today you have changed tomorrow. Irishlady, you are very brave to make a stand and this is the very thing that I tried to convey in my posting about what Anne Graham had to say about God.

Anyway, I'm glad to be involved with such a great group of people who can admit that they have done something not quite right, apologise and move on. We need each other on this journey of ours. I need you all, you are my inspiration and my support.

Lets move on.

Kind regards
Diana

[betty boop]

I'm so sorry.

Louise,

Like Fan said, I hope that we can all move forward......

I hope that you can forgive Paul & let him come back here without worrying ....

If you feel bad about my postings then thats OK, I appreciate your honesty & I, Like you don't apologise for being me .... but Paul needs your forgiveness ....

Paula xx
