enzo,
the 'poetry' response in the other thread was with no acknowledgement to military or other such content...it was purely about the posters dry wit and writing talent...im sorry that this was interpreted wrongly...i have an appreciation for this talent and that was the intent behind my statement..nothing to do with degrading of anyone or group of people...
i apologise if you thought differently..
like brett says above, 'as long as you speak your truth with the right intent'
sometimes things are misconstrued and sometimes intent is misinterpreted..
and the buttons...ive had my buttons pushed to fight and defend a few times in here, and totally lost it...
become ensconced in battle and ended up taking things personally..
like the me being a woman thing...new riders on liter bikes...the dealership thing..
i took things waaay too personally...and ended up all knotted up inside..
would seem that a few people in the spoiler thread's buttons where pushed, i watched things in there unravel with dismay..
everybody's truths and intents where challenged, and everybody being strongly individual,
-no-one was prepared to back down from their own truths and intents..
i had a bad feeling that this years race season would offer a few challenges , with the fact that our ducati camp was divided in a different way...stoner=aussie, hayden=american
a more convaluted season than normal, with more than just the usual rossi vs stoner fans
arguments where bound to come to the fore..
aussies generally call a spade a spade, shoot straight and swearing is a normal part of our everyday communication.....im not overly offended by this, because im used to it...
and used to our speech patterns and sense of humour..i dont mean to make excuses....but i feel that if we where all put together in a real room, real time, we would all get on famously...
the spoken word has expression and tone inflected, the written word is flat and loses out in context..
i sincerely hope that all involved have a break from all that has occured, and calm down....and things return to normal...pains me when favourite players in here butt heads so hard they hurt each other..
i mean no controversy, take no sides, kiss no butt,
these are my personal feelings
regards
karen
