It doesn't bother me in the least, Eamon.
If it did not bother you, you would not have made the comment you made in this thread. No one with any sense would believe that the person who wrote such a reply is now completely at peace and detached about the whole matter. Your reply utterly avoided the substance of the post I addressed to you, which was only about what has been said within this thread. You then reply by dragging up other matters, never saying anything germane to the point of my post. Such is not the way of one who is not bothered in the least.
FWIW, recent events should still bother you. Why? Well...
Those words are for you and other people don't have a clue what they are about. The best they could do is guess..
That is actually the point, Mary. You have now mentioned someone twice that needn't have been mentioned at all, and all can see that it was done in a manner designed to touch upon something personal. There could be no other purpose. The first time in connection the the police, of all things -- tell me that does not open myriad doors for speculation -- the second in connection to my thinking her nuts (something that, even if true, has no place here).
The fact that you have been "vague" saves nothing, and is actually more problematic, as it leaves the door open for people to imagine any number of things. Go re-read your comment from the other thread and tell me it is not a problem. You can still find some parts of your original comment quoted within my responses. Frankly, it was shocking to see you stoop so low, despite the fact that I already had a solid, working theory as to why (one you proved with gusto, btw). If the comment was NOT a problem, why did you ask Matthew to delete the content of the first post? Such behavior is passing strange, unless you came to see that the OP was out of line -- something you never actually said or addressed, although your actions told the story.
YOU should have pmed me.
I thought none of it bothered you? :wink: Actually, when I tried I was unable to do so. I am not sure how the program responded, but it basically told me you did not accept PMs.
But since you want all to be transparent, be glad I am keeping it this hidden.
What? There is nothing to tell. You know little to nothing, it is crystal clear at this point anything you say on the matter is heavily influenced by your emotions, etc., and none of it belongs in the public eye anyway (and you probably learned more than half of what you "know" through conversations with a third party -- i.e., not from me). The comments of mine which you did not like pertained entirely to your own comments made here at cathinfo, and they did not get personal (despite your claim that I "stalked" and "attacked" you).
Believe it or not, I don't wish to harm you; only to stop you.
I actually do not care what your goal is, as the manner in which you have pursued it is contrary to what is acceptable, even as you were ceaselessly crying out about kindness, mercy, manners, being ladies and gentlemen, etc.
If we can agree on that, we can have done with this foolishness and get on to the healing.
We are agreed that you believe what you have stated is your goal is, in fact, your goal. For the rest, I have no wounds from this affair that need to be healed. I have rather thick skin at this stage in my life and it matters not to me what people think of me. You may rest assured I am not worried about what one lady in NE does or says or thinks, no matter how far and wide she spreads this or that. My entire hope here is to help you grasp that this entire episode cannot simply be set aside as if it never happened if you are find the peace of heart you desire.
I have nothing more to say to you -- not in this world, anyway. Goodbye, Mary. Godspeed to you and yours.
