    I don't agree with what Anna has done with his life, but its his life. I'd rather not hear about it like John, but I think he has just as much of a right to post (in the soapbox) as anyone else. John does say what he feels, but that can get you into trouble. Sometimes its better to be quiet than to be [EDIT]vocal[/EDIT] about your feelings.

            All I'm saying is, it does you no good to beat a dead horse. You aren't going to change Anna's opinion. You may not agree, but I am of the opinion that sometimes its better to be quiet than to be hurtful.

Also as I am no doubt you are aware I don't believe in idly sitting by when I disagree with something. I do try and be constructively critical though.

You are not the only one and I will now tell you what I think. Even if I did not agree with what Anna has done, I wouldn't be so crass as to proclaim my unwanted opinon on a public messageboard unless she asked for it. If you don't want to offer your congratulations then don't but I believe, it is better to err on the side of caution and not post a negative comment unless you think there is adequate justification. If for example, I post a message saying how much I like cats, I expect to hear from people who also like cats. I guess someone like you (assuming for a sec. that you don't like cats) would feel quite OK about posting a message saying how you hate the mangy things and how you'd shoot them if you could. You'd then proclaim that it is your freedom of speech etc. which means that you should be allowed to say what you like with the defence that "you are only being honest", as if that is some God-given talent. Well, it isn't, and while in most cases I appreciate your input to these forums, your casual condemnation of someone's personal choice just seems deliberately spiteful. I wonder why you feel the need to do this? Incidentally, the reason I replied to you isn't because I believe you personally should be accepting or tolerant, I just believe you should observe a certain etiquette - and that is, to only give a valid opinion if it's asked for, required or constructive. the sad thing is that I actually enjoy reading most of your posts as you do seem reasonably intelligent and informed and best of all, you really do say what you think, but I just don't see the need for humourless spite which is what you always reserve for Anna for some reason...

                                    I don't "reserve" spite for anybody in particular, and believe me - what I posted is severely edited and toned down from what I was originally going to post because even *I* considered it a little over the top. I observed my own etiquette, and I try not to say anything I will regret later. I am of the opinion that Andy doesn't look anything like a female - at all - not even close. Being honest isn't a "talent", but it's mighty damn scarce any more. So scare in fact, that it's considered rude and unacceptable to say anything that might even hint at being an honest statement. It takes a lot more effort to lie or be politically correct (which is a truth wrapped with a lie) than it does to be truthful, and being less than honest doesn't do anyone any good. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                                      Don't worry Jason - I was joking! I'll be pre-op until I've been in year in role...and then I have to find about £15,000 to pay for surgery before I can finally put it all behind me. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

                                        Bah, ignore John, he just doesn't seem able to grasp the concept that someone can be so different to the norm and just how important it is not to suppress who you are (I am all too familiar with the emotional problems and shame that breeds). John, if you do read this, it takes more guts to admit something like this to yourself that I think you've ever had in you, let alone take the extraordinarily hard step to approach those you love and care about with it. If you think you've experienced insecurities, unadulterated fear and a kind of melancholy hopelessness that even Wordsworth couldn't put onto paper, then trust me mate – you haven't even sighted the iceberg, let alone scraped it. And those people who don't care about Anna don't matter – life doesn't work like that; never has and never will do. In your own choice phrases: I doubt Anna could give a shit what you think of her. Now that's over with, welcome back Anna! I hope this year will be a good one - well done! :rose: I'm looking forward to that new version of ResOrg – it's one of the few adding for VS that I actually use. :)

                                        I don't recall coming in stating that I was trying to be everybody's friend, politcally correct, understanding, or to coddle whiners, or humour the sick and twisted, and I didn't see "Support Group" on the door when I walked in, so kiss my ass. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
