855.0. "Apology" by NECSC::BARBER_MINGO () Mon Jun 03 1991 19:35

    
    This note is designed to stand as a public record for apologies.
    
    This is the note for after you realize you may have made a mistake,
    a misquote, or inadvertantly pushed a hot button.
    
    Moderators: I searched for logy- and came up with nothing.  If this
    is better suited elsewhere... please move it there.
    Thank you.

855.1Forest and TreesNECSC::BARBER_MINGOMon Jun 03 1991 19:5033
    Well, I myself was guilty of my own analogy of not seeing the forest
    for the trees.
    
    I have seen negative energy released in this file, female and male
    alike. However, I have also seen people who are having a really rough time
    be able to work it through in here.  I have watched some of the tougher
    issues be fought through, explored, and finally resolved, for whatever
    ends.
    
    A while ago, I wrote some notes that accentuated, the negative
    or unsupportive sections I had gleaned.  It has taken me time to 
    realize that most of that may have come from one person.  It has
    also taken time for me to realize that one person does not make
    the file.  I was badly misfocused, and used the few written
    skills (without spelling) I have to painfully expload those negatives...
    
    I am repentant.  Not a Denis Rodman kind of shove them into the
    basket, then write- oops I'm sorry, but a really contrite
    apologetic.
    
    I have said it before.
    
    But the recent help I have gotten, some by reading other's questions,
    some by inquiring about my own, have forced me to want to say it
    again.
    
    With respect and more understanding-  
    Cindi
    
    P.S.- How could I have missed all the Doonesbury, Elfquest people the
    first time through?  All that, and you know what to do at a cocktail
    party two.  A full, well rounded community.

    I was thinking how nice this is.  We have SPLASHES for when we feel
    harmed, and now this note for when we feel we may have harmed another.
    
    Good idea, Cindi.  I know there are times I type without thinking.  I
    just hope I remember the location of this note!

855.5See ComicNECSC::BARBER_MINGOWed Jun 05 1991 16:5912
    It is a beautiful comic series.
    I hung on the 4 large color collections comming out.
    
    Usually, the people who I have known with a taste for it have been-
       Unicorn lovers,
        Teddy bear huggers,
          and willing to give Dragons the benefit of the doubt.
    
    For the most part, real good people, with an appreciation for the
    same aesthetics.

    The benefit of the doubt? Cindy, dragons hold the most honored place in
    my heart. One sits on top of my VCR in my bedroom. She proudly guards
    my room. Her name is Kellee. She is white, with amber eyes and is
    absolutely gorgeous. Unicorns and Teddy Bears are also special. I have
    a teenage daughter who loves unicorns and realy collects Teddy Bears.
