I have left the list, for the time being. The reasons are many. Recently, the list has not been the same. There have always been debates and strong feelings expressed but it usually fell short of name calling. It seems the ability to have debate without being nasty and personal has been lost, temporarily I am sure. I would be a liar if I said I was not negatively affected by the Colin is fascist thread. Howver, it is over and done with. I waited a while but I let Jim know privately just what i think. Being called a fascist/hate monger was not the issue for me-being lied about was. The matter is over. It was also initmated by someone else that I may have driven Jim over the edge by sending him nasty private emails. This was not the case at all. It was also intimated to me that i was the cause of all the bickering on the list. I have seen in my almost 3 week absense that this is also not the case. Almost evrything I posted was seen by this person as an attack on them. I was also derided for having been so open on this list about my feelings and life.I have only once written an email that was very stronlgy worded, privately, and I told someone exactly what i thought of them and why i didn't like them. In fact i have never before in my life been that blunt to anyone. I believe in lookng for the good in people. Those of you who have been around as long as I have will know I am bipolar. How could you misss it when you rememebr those 20-30 posts a day! I am still med free and have not been away with the fairies or in hell for a long time now. However, I still have my swings, only less severe. This last few months have been difficult and I got to the point where I had begun to think life was not worth the struggle. These feelings, the night terrors back again, the fear, the volatile moods, and finally the list wars made me jump ship. And get myself back into therapy!!! Just when you think the shit is ovver and done with it uups and hits you in the balls. Abuse and its after effects never truly leave you. So my leaving is a combination of persoanl things and not because I was called a fascist/hate monger. I am togethr enough to know that isn't true! Personally, i think the reason for this hiccup is because we have now been here 15mths and I have had time to unwind. Life has calmed down. before the move everything was so tense all the time. Now it isn't and those bastard demons have taken the opportuntiy to surface. Although not pleasant, i am glad for this opportunity to clean house some more and to grow. So please, just let this all drop now. I should think i will be back. I haven't been able to just ignore it-one because people have written to me and two because I can't resist taking a peek at the digests posted on the smoe server! I don't know whetehr to be flattered or embarrassed that you are still talking about me! At least i won't embarrass myself by writing out my inner turmoil this time to the list. Another good reason to leave for now. luv colin ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 02:35:02 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu" Subject: Buy CDs & Help JMDL Help JMDL & buy CDs at the same time! http://www.cdnow.com/from=sr-159240 http://cdu2.cduniverse.com/asp/cdu_main.asp?frm=lk_jmdl Each of these e-stores will refund 5% of sales made from these links to offset the cost of operating the Joni Mitchell Discussion List.
