Homophobia has reared it's foul head yet again on that same list it did before. The excuse this time is because I shared my opinion that some people give in order to receive.
The up herself shrink woman has deliberately misinterpreted it and fanned the flames whilst she sits back and lest others fire the arrows. Others have taken it as an opportunity to attack me for being gay whilst at the same time making up lies about me! To say I make constant references to it on that list is a lie and designed to gather the bullies around for a little flame throwing.
It would seem that my observation about giving to receive hit some where it hurt and they went on the attack.
People!

People don't want to hear the truth. The truth is much too frightening for fundamentalist beliefs, whether the listener is a tramp or a doctor. Fear is a mighty motivator, especially irrational fear.
Yes, I've seen her comments too, and I just tend to ignore her. Too much energy to even take any notice of her, so she is gone.
It is true what you said about people wanting to get something for what they give. When you choose to give, that is the end of that. It is gone, you gave, it is finished. Whether you get any recognition of the gift or not matters little. You gave. End of discussion.
Yet many do expect to get something in return, and are royally miffed when they don't get anything. Well, they will get what they deserve -- one day -- but not quite what they expected!
colin - wish I could join that list if only just to give 'em something back:)
I was horrified! And I hate to say it, but it is often Christians who act like this. I just have never understood why "they" are so threatened by a person's sexuality, by the way a person lives their lives, or by the religion they choose.
I do think you hit a nerve about gift giving and she wrongly interpreted your mother teresa comment as well. Then the other jackals swooped in.
Giving should be done in a kind of 'universal circle' way, not asking fro anything in return, but trusting, what goes round comes round and that you will be on both ends, the giving and the receiving.
It saddens me to read again and again how flame wars erupt out of a childish kind of mindsets, and that people on the net dont tend to think before they write.
So much thoughtlessness and so little reflecting your beliefs and accepting others besides the one they prefer.
I hope this does not hit too bad and the 'people' comment at the end of your entry is the *shaking his head, wandering off* variety :-)
That comment did seem to come out of left field and it seemed to really turn what was (in my opinion) a very interesting discussion about gift giving into a flame war.
Sigh, it too often happens when all the good threads happen.
I agree about gift giving, it should be done in the spirit of true giving, for the receiver.
I have this strong emotional attachment to my knitting - and therefore am ill-qualified to give my knitting as a gift to anyone who doesn't think that it is an incredible gift to receive and practically line up hehe. They get other gifts that are just as special to them.
Luckily my family does, so it motivates me to keep knitting for them.
Listen sweetie, you are who you are. It is not for me or anyone else for that matter to Judge you! In my eyes only God can do that. I for one know you are a loving sweet gentle man. What do you behind closed doors is no ones business except yours. Some days I am ashamed to say I belong to these groups where they act like Vultures ready to attack. I can say that I feel I know you and I for one Love you and want your opinion even if I don't agree all the time I read to see and learn others outlook on life that is how we learn!!! God Bless you and remember there are those of us who love you no matter what. I was always told its better to give then recieve. What ever happened to that? Marion
