I think Trish has answered very well to Alexandra's query. I quote Trish-


Alexandria, you should remember this when wanting us to be your friend.... Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
Henry David Thoreau

You always say you wish someone would tell you why nobody seems friendly to you... You just can't jump in the middle of friends and MAKE them your friends. Your original posts, many months ago used words and meanings to slam many people and their illnesses. Stop and reflect on that and quit acting as though you don't understand why it is hard for people to trust you. and want your friendship.

Let us come back to the topic of quotes. Trish is very quick in quotes that are relevant.

Here is one-

A man is called selfish, not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting the neighbor's.
- Whately, Richard

There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.

- Dante

Theres nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, perpetually wearing their "discomfort" like a favorite shirt.

- Jhonen Vasquez

Alexandra, please bury the past and move ahead. Accept your mistakes and forgive others for theirs.

I assure you that everybody here is looking for making a positive difference in others' lives.

How can I do that for you?

You could start by being friendly to people outside the click. Being friendly does not mean you have to be actual friends. I have heard claim that Alexandra was abusive to CD, warranting the treatment she has been receiving, but I can't find evidence of this. However, this is not the first time I've had to step in on behalf of Alexandra. This latest attack comes from her stating the jokes in another thread were getting out of hand and they were. The sexual nature of the jokes was stepping outside the rules. You would be wise to take your own advice. Bury the hatchet and move on. I'm tired of this interferring with my right to enjoy Bella. If it is a legitimate complaint, take it to the forum moderator or the webmaster as the rules state. Otherwise, start giving Alexandra the respect she deserves as a human being and a Bella member. Like you said, get over it!

Sue, please bury this and move on in life. Good luck.

Sue, I have found most of your posts very intelligent. You can help all of us bury this. Mistakes were done by Alexandra and I agree with Trish about that. Pratibha left the forum because of all this. Pl. be of help. I request. We are all friends.

Not until everyone is treated with respect and welcomed. You had no problem putting your two cents in. Why didn't you bury it and move on before following Alexandra to the Buddhist forum? I don't appreciate having to defend someone I don't even know, but I've never been one to sit quiet while a whole group picks on one person.

First of all, Alexandra is not the only one to have made mistakes. I, personally, do not know what she is accused of and have found nothing going back and reading posts. I did find more than once, people intentionally be rude to her. Secondly, nobody can make another person do anything they choose not to do. Pratibha left because she chose to leave. Personally, I wish she hadn't and don't understand why she did. And now, thirdly, let's get back on topic.........

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"-The Golden Rule.
