BAD BLOOD

[RCMerchant]

 There's has been a lot of bad blood on this board.

With Me and ER-Zombie and ER- just bad blood.

I been trying off line to mend wounds.

Things have been said in the heat of the moment-some are thought to be unforgivible.

I don't think so. Were all on this s**t mudball planet earth.

We HAVE to get along-we have no choice.

We have to stop this in-fighting. I am so anti-myself-the last thing I need is hate from others.

We gotta stick together!

Man-it  wont' if we don't.

f**king man- lets be cool-love one another-sound hippie- I don't give a flying f**k.

PLEASE.

Sounds like a good plan to me, Ronny. No grudges on my part. Peace among non-enemies makes for a happier online hangout and I hope we can have that again. As far as I'm concerned everyone has a clean slate with me and I hope others feel that way too.

If It keeps up with the hate-I'm gone. I can't-and won't do it no more. I didn't sign up for this. What really f**ks me up- I instigated it. It was my fault.
If others look into themselves and realize the same-we will be ok. I can see how I started it-And if others can see how others feel-maybe-JUST maybe-we can all be cool. Just understand the others life. On both sides. We can't change who we are-but we can TRY to understand each other. And instead of being critical-be understanding.
And aint that what life is all about?

Just look and try to see you in others-thats the key.

I really love every one here-good or bad.

All families have their quarrels from time to time, this one is no different.
And most families make up when they are done.
Free root beer on me!

Next time you're mad, get active. I believe the Chinese have it right when they claim emotions are stored in the muscles, since after a hard five-set tennis match, win or lose, I feel glowing harmony with all God's chilluns. A long run does the same thing. Or a long swim. Or.... Well I'll stop there.

I'm not sure I believe you, E.  What is a grudge?  Might it be something that one's own self perceives is borne against yourself?  And maybe the grudge is only in one's own mind, not in the other party's... (Please forgive my grammar.  I'm a rebel.)  You had mentioned a grudge you perceived I had against you, which I didn't.  You apologized repeatedly.  I was perplexed.  Now I am perplexed again.  And perhaps now, bearing a grudge.  It's not personal, on the board and in PM I believe we are both respectful.  If I bear you a grudge, it's completely intellectual.

Damn, am I like the only person here quite capable of holding a minor grudge for over 30 years, and then taking revenge at the end of it?

I can no longer relate to the desire for revenge.  I have felt it, but haven't for many years.  
Keeping a scorecard, however, I can certainly relate to.

Because I know you're probably reading this....

Revenge, no, but proactive violence, sure. There is strange joy in hurting the deserving, in overcoming enemies, even in undertaking acts of justified violence. The twin highs of danger and triumph make sex seems tame. Anyone who doesn't think so is innocent or self-deluding. T.E. Lawrence found it out. In fact I am trying to convince some former co-workers of mine to make a particularly awful man's life living hell for threats he's made against us all, threats he's backed up very tangibly, and I'm not getting a lot of support for the idea. I went off on one of them today telling him to think back to when he used to have actual balls and people were afraid of him. Weren't we Death From Within? Words now or does it still apply? Now we skulk and hide in our lives of comfort and respectability and for what? Because we're older? Because we have children and so much to lose? They won't even help us. Time to be feared again. Time to remember what we are. But no, they're timid. No, they're scared. No, it's not right. Right? Right? Jesus in a handbasket man, I told him to think back to the things we've done and talk about right? We were ever right, and were they wrong? Does it matter? You pick your side and you follow through to Hell itself but you don't waiver. Hint, men everywhere, when it's the chick among you who wants to go for blood and you don't, you've hit male menopause, so crawl off and give up. God I am sick of weakness in this world. Strike hard, die fighting, go to Valhalla and perish slashing giants at Ragnarok. Beats wasting away in a retirement community wearing Depends and watching Jerry Springer while you drool applesauce down your chest. Seriously, if I cannot die on my own terms old and happy, I'd rather die nobly and still in possession of strength, asserting myself in the face of the lazy apathy that governs most people's lives. Revenge, grudges, bah, two wrongs don't ever make a right. Better to forgive and forget. Better to live and let live. Best to turn the other cheek no matter how deep the insult. Pick your battles and never harm the undeserving. But to be feared by those who choose to threaten your loved ones, absolutely. Hurt them. Torment them. Remove every instant of peace they once took for granted. Make them remember who defeated them in the first place. Let them know who authors their suffering. Remind them as often as it takes. No mercy til victory. Ever.

Performance art concluded.

ron, i love you better than my brother, you know that. and ANY argument here isn't your fault, please understand that, okay? it may LOOK that way to you, or others,but it isn't. sometimes it's just a case of having had it" up to here" with others, and it just happens to be your thread that it comes out in,you know? but that doesn't make it YOUR FAULT. we ARE grownups here, but we aren't perfect, so maybe the timing can be bad sometimes.
