And if it offended somebody else, I'm sure they would've either said something or let me know somehow. At which point I would've said, Huh? because nothing you've said has been offensive!!!! please continue to comment, I've found your comments to be really profound, and they sparked really powerful discussions. P.s. if you're worried because I haven't commented regarding them--please know, I take a long time to get to comments, and many/most times even then I don't get to them. Just got a busy life and then other times I'm just too tired etc. and some times, like on the other thread you were commenting on, I sometimes just back out of the conversation, even though I am reading, because the thoughts are something I need to grapple with before I talk or because it's just not my place to comment--sometimes the pain and hurt is something that needs to be shared with others who feel that--not critiqued by somebody who can only imagine what it must feel like, you know? anyway, I hope you keep commenting! :-) Oh, OB, nothing you said offended me in the least!

P.s. if you’re worried because I haven’t commented regarding them–please know, I take a long time to get to comments, and many/most times even then I don’t get to them. Just got a busy life and then other times I’m just too tired etc. and some times, like on the other thread you were commenting on, I sometimes just back out of the conversation, even though I am reading, because the thoughts are something I need to grapple with before I talk or because it’s just not my place to comment–sometimes the pain and hurt is something that needs to be shared with others who feel that–not critiqued by somebody who can only imagine what it must feel like, you know?

anyway, I hope you keep commenting! :-)

I am very every sorry If anything I wrote was offensive, the last I want is to make anyone that runs and visits the site to feel uncomfortable. I'll keep visiting the site but refrain about commenting. Thanks for the opportunity.
