26. I want to say I'm sorry too

Mon Mar 11, 2013, 03:16 PM

Mar 2013

We are all on the same side really, and I have felt uncomfortable with the division between all of us. I hope it can be healed and learned from.

I don't want a man to tell me what to think, do, or say, but I will not tolerate being told what to think, do, or say, by a woman, who considers herself my better because she believes her personal philosophy is superior to mine.

I'm going to think what I think and believe what I'm going to believe. I'm still cautions about saying what I'm going to say because I don't like feeling castigated from a group I have identified with for the last 30 years.

I would like to have an agree to disagree policy and stay friendly even though there may be differences on some fundamental issues. Sometimes it feels as if there has been an effort to drum dissenters out of the groups or see them driven from the site entirely.
