I can't remember her name, but I believe she was one of the people from AFF who was too sensitive to be here.

Seems like you need to straddle a fine line of sensitivity to belong here.  

I don't think you need to straddle a fine line of sensitivity to know that attacking someone's young child is going to piss them off.

I didn't think so either.

The initial (and absolutely immediate) abandonment of my attempted "friendship"  with another poster from a couple of yeas ago, was begun at the start of her telling me that I did not deserve to have my children.

Had she even had a clue about how horrid it was to lose six infants in various stages of pregnancy, trying to start a family, and completely given up on the notion after about nine years, she might have considered further before offering such an opinion of me. The odds which my wife and I beat in bringing forth two "perfect"  children are astounding to imagine.

It is for this reason, her thinking that she could freely dis' my children that I had no qualms about calling her a drywell.


Incidentally,  I agree with the both of you.   No one has a free license to attack another ones children!

The end.

I think I remember this person and I also had a similar opinion of them after that particular outburst.  The stupid thing is that the person was probably just trying to wound someone and said the words that they thought would hurt most.  To me, that says something about them.  Obviously, they were just too sensitive to be here, but I think that there was a lot of mean-spiritedness in saying something like that to autistic parents.  

Who are "they?"    

I was making a single reference to a single incident involving a single person who I had tried to "befriend"  on this site, early in my stay.

I carefully used "they" to try to avoid using the person's gender, but I'm pretty sure we are thinking about the same person.

Graelwyn, right?

Wow!

Why did you feel it necessary to protect or hide  or "avoid using" her gender, or worse yet, consider that her gender was in any way relevant?


I was purposefully being a little vague in order avoid using her name (an effort which you have negated) while dropping sufficient crumbs for a search engine to choke on for those truly interested in finding out more of her ways.

[DirtDawg]

Never mind. No need to answer.

[Callaway]

I thought maybe I should have PMed you with her name instead of posting it.  I was being vague with the gender to avoid identifying her, but looking back at your post, you used her gender so my not using it was pointless.  I could delete her name from my post and you can delete it from yours if you want to go back to being vague.

Hey Callaway. Big hugs. You tap dancing yet?

[Callaway]

Hey Callaway. Big hugs. You tap dancing yet?

Thanks, but no, I'm still not tap dancing yet.

We went to the Boston area and to New York City for our daughter's break from school and we saw some sights in both places, though.

Talking shit about peoples children is easier online because it involves fewer asskickings.

He'd never dared to say anything like what he did to my face. I'm not a violent person but I would have floored him.

People have limits.

I very much doubt that odeon. You could prove me wrong and post a picture of yourself posing with shirt off and judo medals.
Of course, you're gonna stay in hiding.

What would a picture prove, vodzy? Believe what you want; I suspect most fathers here know about this sort of thing.

... and some of us have actually had to put down an attacker or two.  He may not understand how it is with the protective instinct that comes with parenthood.









Vodz, I wish you at least one child that you never have to protect beyond keeping "it "  from killing "itself!!"

Dude,   

[odeon]

It's a very strong instinct and one that I was very surprised to learn that I had.

[P7PSP]

Have you been to Paris Callaway? If not, has odeon's trip caused you to consider going?

[Callaway]

No, I have never been to Paris, but I would love to go there.

[skyblue1]

do you live near any of the gas wells?

[Osensitive1]

What inspired that question?
