i've made my point on your blog tex, and i assure you, unless you or your lil cronies start more bs with me... i have no problem steerin clear of your blogwell, i guess whip couldn't "respect" that. but that's no surprise, as she is incapable of any genuine respect anyway. i guess i shouldn't expect more from an out of work telemarketer sub.
Tex, write to Karma about Seans refusal to honor your request and stay the hell off your blog. Admins are well aware of the glitch, and warnings have been issued...i know because I got one when i dared remark on that evil troll trudy's thread.
i am not refusing, i stated i would stay off unless you did what you did. you are the cause with your actions. and about that glitch, as you can see, it works fine, your hi-jacking butt is b/l'ed.
you insinuated that those who deliver the occasional quick spank as an immediate correction are out-of-control child abusers,
the hell i did...i did say " but a smack is much closer to a beating than is a controlled and explained form of discipline that have nothing to do with a lack of emotional control by the parent."
but i also said..."does that mean that parents don't occasionally lose their temper or have a knee jerk reaction? of course it doesn't. but make no mistake, i am not equating that to a pattern of abuse by any means. but a bad human reaction is just that, human. it's not bad parenting."
i in no way equated the 2. i did say that a knee jerk reaction in a smack is closer to a beating than a controlled form of discipline, and it is.
Prior to your appearance on that thread, it was a good discussion, everyone was being civil in their disagreement, even though most felt strongly about their respective positions.
how was this response so "vile?"
gid's quote...
As a rule, our kids are RARELY spanked (read: I honestly can't remember the last time they were spanked). It is a punishment we reserve for completely the last resort, when there is no other way to get their attention (which, again, I can't think of an instance to cite, so you'll have to excuse me on that one). That being said, I tend to agree you are being unnecessarily harsh.me...i agree with gid, and take the same approach with my own kids. i have all boys, and i was a boy once too. my parents rarely and prudently spanked me...sometimes it "left a mark" and sometimes it didn't. but it was usually done in a controlled manner and not a fit of rage or a knee jerk reaction and i have tried to do the same. and it was a last resort usually as well.
like ay form of discipline, spanking isn't 100% effective by any means, but in my own life, as a kid, when i knew the consequences of some actions could potentially result in a spank, it kept me fom trouble more often than not. i never, as an adult, ever resented my parents for spanking me for one moment. most of it did me some good. and now as a parent, on those rare times where they may have just simply lost patience with me, i understand now how human that was.
(
maybe this is it, maybe my assuring her if she ever "stumbles" not to be too hard on herself because of her views was just so mean and vile...)and equating spanking with beating is a stretch at best imho. i hope you you never have to lay a single hand on your children tex. but if you do, i hope you won't feel that you are a bad parent for it. you aren't. you are just a parent like the rest of us. you do the best you can, play the hand you are dealt and do your best to make sure they have all the tools necessary to succeed in life.
i dunno,,,i think i'm pretty civil there.
... (et al)...Disgusting.
yes, you certainly are being that. i spoke about MM and his troubles in relation to the national events and how they reflected here in a mirror image. i was impressed. and elie knows that i haven't spoken a disingenuous word about him. but i didn't speak on that to "blow my own horn" . in fact lil girl, if you actually read it, i don't mention myself AT ALL! i point out the niceness of the JOEUSER COMMUNITY, not myself in anyway, shape or form. i only comment saying i liked what i saw FROM OTHERS, like you (and yes, i mean that).
Btw, it seems you're the only one who feels Brandie 'abandoned her position.
tell that to gid and udigit, who also commented on her "abandonment."
