You underestimate my capacity :lol:

I am only sensitive about issues that matter.

I can rise above slings and arrows, and outrageous fortunes .... but stop me from a line of enquiry (as you did last night) ... and I am not so sweet.

Besides ... you managed to get the thread locked and since it was pure "TRNC" promotional material ... some good has come from it. :lol:

Golden Rule of Confucius:
"What one does not wish for oneself, one ought not to do to anyone else; what one recognises as desirable for oneself, one ought to be willing to grant to others."

My take is this: Forget trying to see the other side ... just think about how you would feel should this be done to you ... and go with that.

Simple .... effortless! 8)



A recipe for harmony!

... were that one's goal in life :wink:


I think you are :confused by confucius my dear, :roll: Try comprehending this instead:

The Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773) is quoted as having written.
'Do as you would be done by is the surest method that I know of pleasing.'

A negative modern view of this is 'If you don't like it, don't do it yourself.' :wink


That is a later (inferior) version of precisely the same message given by Confucius.

You will find many versions no doubt ...

"He who does it first, does it best!" ..... :D

I did not notice the thread locked what on earth did you post to warrant closure of the thread. !!!!
I think Admin must have foreseen a battle of words between you and Bubbles !!
I have actually noticed that you are very touchy also I'm not certain of your sense of humour , well I shall have to find out when I meet you later on this month . I'm thinking of inviting GR along with a couple of Blackwater body guards , just in case I underestimated your ferociousness !!!
ps. Don't withdraw your invitation just because I refuse to fall under your spell !!!!

Failing to notice seems to be a common affliction with some posters :lol:

You were the one that flew off the handle ..... I was in the midst of a sensible exchange.

I ignored you calling me a "tart" .... and you just got madder.

However, "I do not necessarily agree with everything I say" ... because in order to get to the root of something, I play devil's advocate ...

As I said, I am only touchy when you deliberately set out to stop my lines of enquiry with your over-protective paternal instincts for the "compatriots" .....

Now ... do you have anything to say regarding the thread ...... otherwise start your own to get to the bottom of "sensitivities" :lol:

I did not leave out the "old" through sensitivity ... but through its relative truth :lol:

Let's have an exercise in loosening your rigidity....

Words are the tools we use, since body language is unavailable to us on the forum ... if they were used as part of our conveyance of a message ... I have no problem with that.

No apology is necessary.

If we were face to face and your body language conveyed to me something of the disgust you felt ... how could you then take that signal back ... You could not!

That is fine. I respect your right to convey whatever sentiments you wish ... just be big enough to accept any back.

We are here, exchanging words in relative free-flow ... if all we did was apologise or agree in order to avoid realism ... I would not be here.

Besides I did not directly call you a "senile old fool" ..... it was a general comment to the supporters of "you-know-what" (daren't use the acronym as it seems to be like an alarm bell that gets halil posting :lol: ).

But do let's not go on about it ... :roll:

Regarding the locking .... it had been moved to Cyprus Problem ... and so much worse has gone on before ..... that it is a mystery, like "Bitter Lemons" ... Perhaps the same sensitive Moderator ... :lol:
