BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Self Development festive Spirit

I haven't visited the forums since back in September, yet I feel as if I never left. The first one I choose to read and there it is again! CD preaching and spreading hate for Alexandra. She has a legitimate question. Why will you never answer it directly? Have you ever heard the old saying, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all!"? As I felt before and again is confirmed, it's you, CD, looking for a fight. Not only that, but you're also a bully, trying to get everyone to gang up on her! Give it a rest. I personally don't want to have to deal with it. Keep it private if you can't let it go.

She was not picking a fight as you always seem to try to make her out to be. I know Alexandra upset you awhile back over something she said, yet you continue to berate her and attack her continuously with your many screen names that you use in this forum. It is time to stop. It is time to move on. Every time she posts something you have to attack it. Be done with it and posting under several different names in this forum to make someone look bad.

A LOT of people hide behind their computers and post things to forums because they know in real life, they could never have the guts to talk to people they way they do on the internet.

Here we go again, I thought this thread was named "festive spirit".

Why don't you guys fight through the pm's and leave the rest of us out of it? Thanks.

Jeanette thanks for your insightful posts.

You are right. It is called "festive spirit" and I believe doing random acts of kindness, such as defending someone who is being unjustly attacked, is totally what this season is about. If one child was unjustly attacking another, would you send them elsewhere so you didn't have to listen? I'd like to believe you would intervene and put an end to it.

I TOTALLY agree with Sue. If you have a problem with something someone said, be an adult and talk about it in PMs. If you don't accept PMs, then leave it alone. It is getting really old when the same certain people are attacking Alexandra. No one wants to read it and it is clogging up what should be good discussions.

We aren't talking about children here, are we?

No, true, not in essence, we're not. But unfortunately this issue has been festering for some time, and I have been trying to honestly rise above it and not pay attention to the frankly venomous things that have been said. It's been going on a while, and I'm not entirely sure exactly where it originates from. Frankly, I doubt they do either.
to have prolonged it this far, has been child-ish of them (in my own poor view......) and whilst to date I have studiously refrained from rising to the bait, I'm afraid they caught me 'on a bad day'.
I apologise.
I can't go back in and edit/delete my post, or trust me, I would.

I shall for my part say no more, and try harder in future.
Sorry.

And for the original meaning of this thread here is a quote of the day that arrived in my mailbox....

Today's Inspirational Quote:

"Three things in human life are important. The first is to be
kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind."

-- Henry James

Oh, I like that, yes I do....

It reminds me of the Dalai Lama's own take upon it.
("My Religion is Kindness....")

I should have known better.

Timely, Jeanette, and for this I thank you.
