Why I Have Deleted Posts and Threads

In life, the only true opinions you take to heart are those of people you respect. The words of anyone other than those select few are just that, words.

I'm not digging, posturing, trolling or any of that.

I disagree with this idea. The greatest lessons in life are learned as a result of a failure/being proven wrong/losing, etc... If you discount what somebody has to say, just because you don't like them, well... You are possibly missing an opportunity to learn.

Just sayin'

And I completely agree with that. However, that was not what my comment was about. It's not to do with learning lessons, becoming a more educated person or whatever, but more about taking on board and considering what someone has to say.

i.e. Someone I don't particularly like tells me to shuttup. I keep talking.

Someone I respect tells me to shuttup on the same matter. I shuttup and think about what I've done. I may or may not have been proven wrong. I may or may not learn from it. But I don't instantly hate that person for going against my judgement. In fact I probably will respect that the person stuck by their own judgement rather than supporting me because they felt they had to so I would 'like' them.

No difference in the subject or the request, just a different set of people. That was my point.

I am proud to be the original Dragon lady. I take the cake. I confess, I'm tried and true. Go ahead, call me a Dragon Lady, because I was born in 1952 - the year of the Dragon.

"let sleeping dogs lie".... well, not to start yet another argument BUT.. dogs don't know how to lie, sleeping or otherwise they, as opposed to some other species, only know what they love, feel and respect. That, I believe, is something we all can learn from dawgs
