    It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

    Having given it some thought-

    Having given it some thought I have 2 questions.

    1. How do we know its a she??(I feel that it
    is too because she is afraid of a whispering campaign but I didn't find point of reference in the post.

    2. Who could it be......and why? Thats 3 questions....sorry!

    Question You know

    It's easy to criticize behind a mask. I freely have my name, location and information available to any of those who view Optiboard. If people don't like our discussion group they don't have to participate. The fact that we have an international group that discusses all kinds of issues makes this forum interesting and informative. How we use that information is up to each of us as individuals. No one forces any idea on the next person. We freely discuss and disagree and get angry at times but we don't take any person's rights away. My comments are the same as if you were standing face to face with me. If you want to legitimize your greivances, reveal your identy. Otherwise your vandalism of this forum is viewed just that way and has little merit in my view.

    ??????????

    All Problems can be solved if ..
    1. It can be described precisely and to the point.
    2. No prejudice should be allowed to hold roots.
    3.The complaining person has to be willing to solve understanding
    that it might be his/ her own problem rather than anybody elses.
    4. All those who are blamed ( or think so taht they are are being) should be ready to give another chance to let the complaintant explain rather than saying go away if you do not like.

    I am an Indian half an earth away from US ,I many a times fall short of undertsnding and explaining what I want to say. Some times things are super aliens to me. But I am happy over here. I do not feel that it's a lobby or cacus working together for some vested or undisclosed benifits.
    The optiboard is simply Greatest if not Great for me.

    Snicker...

    ROFLMAO!!!

    "blepharosphincterectomy" is this a word"

    Yes. It is the same as optirectitis or rectal cranial inversion. Both require abdominal plexoplasti as a fix! LMAO!

    Take care to all,

    blepharosphincterectomy Surgery. removal of part of the skin and muscle of the eyelid to relieve pressure on the cornea.

    My guess is this whole tirade was a cut and paste job, with "Optiboard" and a few other words and phrases used to substitute the original.

    "We must overcome the fear that Optiboard will start wars, ruin the environment, invent diseases, and routinely do a hundred other things that kill people."

    Was that Darris' secret plan for world domination? :p

    ...we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but Optiboard has, at times, called me "opportunism-prone" or "catty". Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to elevate what I call disorganized smart alecks to the sublime...

    Ok, first if he/she can't take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. Secondly, this mailing angers me because he/she addressed the Optiboard annonymously. Never has the Optiboard promised to me a "Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land" in which to fall back on. Get real. Get over it. Get out.

    Big Smile

    Hello all,
    As I sit here I wonder who is this nut? We have customers that are like "it" and we acknowledge that we can not please everyone,,just what is the true complaint? I wonder how much time this person has on their hands to be writibg such a post on "OUR" board......to who ever you really are I am sorry that you feel we are all against the comman decency that we seem to share on a daily basis. Unplug yourself and enjoy what life has to offer. Life is to short and you need to expand you thoughts. If not well I am sorry for how much effort you have put into your phantom letter.........in short get a LIFE

    living a happy life for you

    I've been around long enough to realize that there are few too many idiots in the world and if you spend your time worrying about them all, particularly the anonymous ones, then you won't have time for anything else.

    I have to agree with Steve here. I could only make it through half the post and was too confused to go on any further.
    I do have a question for this person though. If this board bothers you so much, why hang around it??? That's thing I don't get.

    Normally, I would say something but even I am left speachless by this person.
    ...Optiboard's vassals might have ended up as unscrupulous pop psychologists drifting the streets
    I wouldn't exactly place us on the psychologists end, the patient end maybe.

    If this person weren't so angry and bitter I would say that they have spent too much time reading Darris' posts. ;)

    Confused idiots

    One must always remember the old saying, "Never argue with an idiot, because in order to do so, the first thing you have to do is bring your self down to their level, and as soon as you do they will beat you every time.":hammer:

    I'll have one of whatever she's had....

    I thought I could go on a bit, but the insane ramblings of an over thesuarused mad bint make not only difficult reading, but I dare say a gag, a blow to the back of the head and a shallow buriel would solve her problem double quick.

    In fact I have some spare room in the trunk of my car if you need a hand, John...
