I'm Sorry

Next time I'll post child pornography fantasies instead. Sheesh. Maybe I
need a break from most of you.

What's this about, Pam? Is it because of the "no news from the Mouser"
thing?
My heart goes out to you and your family, what you are potentially facing
and I am surprised you feel up to posting at all. I do have some experience
with the "c-thing" and yes, it makes you angry. Osama Bin-Laden deserves
it, not ordinary people like us who have done nothing wrong. Unfortunately
it seems it doesn't work that way.
((more hugs))

Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about. As a person who
appreciates wicked satire it was clear (to me, anyway) that what you
posted was a huge dig at AMERICAN attitudes and the psychology of fear
the current government dispenses to us on a daily basis. I didn't see
it as intending to be offensive to muslims, but definitely intended as
a big pointy jab to those stupid citizens of the gold old USA that
continue to buy into that sort of crap. No matter. There will always
be someone somewhere that will take something the wrong way and find
followers to go down the same path, regardless of what the reality
is.

Anyone care to let the uninitiated know what the hell you're all talking
about? When someone starts a thread like this out of the blue, with no
indication what it refers to, it leaves some of us floundering!

See thread "Received In My Inbox Today OT, Political, and funny" for a
full
background. But here's a brief synopsis.
Pam posted a joke. Some people thought it was offensive. Some people
didn't.
Kyla posted a letter. Some people thought it was offensive. Some
didn't.
Just to prove we're all so open-minded our brains practically fall out
every time we post, Matthew posted some jokes about "Indians" and
"Mexicans." But Dan
said that was okay. He said we can post any joke we want to, so long
as it's just "mildly" offensive, and advised the ones who didn't like
it "get over it."
This is all my personal interpretation of course. YMMV.

Yep, that pretty well covers it, Sherry.

I could really murk up the waters and post my response to Pam concerning
this email but, won't go there. Best to let sleeping Dogs/cats lay, lie,
whatever.

Pam I get the reference (it took me a minute, though)....and it IS
just plain weird, isn't it??
I know you have a wonderfully irreverant sense of humor, and I also
get that you wouldn't ever offend anybody on purpose.
I remember when I got spanked but good just for using the word
"lifestyle" in blessed ignorance that it might be an offensive word.
Hell. I didn't know.
Oops. Can I say "hell?"
Maybe you offended some people, now you know. Kick yourself around for
2 seconds then forget about it. But keep your sense of humor. That's
what keeps us sane.

I'm sorry. I got an email from a friend to warn me about this and sent one
back saying I could handle it. And I did. Then I saw that email from Kyla
to Susan about Grandma Shirley's death and lost it. That email was in as
poor of taste or more as my stupid joke, but not one person said anything to
her about it. Some of the very people who jumped on the politically correct
bandwagon probably thought it was marvelous. I'll tell you, if Kyla sends
something so disgusting to us when Rob is fighting his last battle, I'll do
something violent.

Pam, I certainly agree with what you have written here. I thought Kyla's
message was dreadful but did not respond to that one because she writes so
many where her thoughts seem to get confused that I ignored it. My mother
died last year at the age of 91, and I would have been horrified if a
message like that had been delivered to her. I put your message in a
completely different context. You write beautifully, and none of your own
stories have the slightest tinge of unpleasantness. They are delightful and
should be published. So, I may have overreacted to the joke, but I have
seen that same joke circulating on email, and it seems to be picked up by
people who want to see all Muslims as terrorists. I was reacting to what I
see in that joke and certainly not to you personally. I have grown to
appreciate what you and your family have been facing for so long, and I wish
you only the best.
