Too bad! Don't read my articles. I'm not here to agree with everyone. I'm not here to please the so called politically correct. This is Gather, a site for all opinions. I'm not here to justify my life or your lifestyle. I'm here to vent, make friends, and make frienemies. If you don't like what I write as I don't like what you write, simply stay away, or more simply, get irritated. Get irritable bowel syndrome for all I care.
I will write what I want, say what I want, and believe what I want. I'm not here to change your lifestyle so don't try to change mine.
I'm straight, I'm married to a man for 38 years, and I'm a conservative Christian, if you find that irritating, well, that's too bad for your intestines.

Okay Carol mind if I don't hate ya ? LOL
ROFLMBO. I LOVE IT.
but I don't want intestinal problems! I think I will skip the hating.
Wow ok what happened??
Perhaps the person who complained is much more irritating than you, Carol! Good grief, the person needs to get some kind of a life....LOL! If he/she doesn't like your articles, it's easy enough just to ignore them.....DUH!!!
Amen!
Now, you want to tell us how you really feel? lol
LOL, You tell em! I like your articles.
Awwww shucks. I don't want to stay away so I will just say I like your articles even though I don't always comment.
To many here think they have the right to tell others what to think. It gets so annoying. I could name names, but because of who they are, I would get in trouble again. And yes, most of them are pets to the head honchos of Gather.
You know Dan, what gets to me, is if someone didn't like my stuff, why would they comment? Do they really think I'm easily intimidated? Not!
You're right, Dan. It certainly appears that there are some who are immune to the TOS. Others will deleted without discussion.
Carol, Some like just to cause trouble. SOme of them are protected too by Gather's staff.
Marilyn, I have gotten to the point of deleting some trouble makers, because they can never come in with an intelligent debate, but can only attack.
Someone complained to you??? That is so tacky!!! Why not just stop reading stuff that bugs them! ?! Gather has a spot to BLOCK people you don't like !! Sheesh what is wrong with people!
I always wondered how to spell, Sheesh,
I know! whenever I voice MY opinion, one person whines that I'm judging her w/o knowing her....WAH!!!!! first off, the body of ones posts can tell you volumes about people, AND, that's who I am.....if I can tell from your posts something about you, I'm gonna voice my opinion!!! (no not you:)
Voicing opinions about an article is one thing, telling a person they are irritating is another. This is a case of, if you don't like it then don't read it.
Just think, you got a point just for them looking and complaining!
Well that's just dang irritatin' isn't it?!?
Hm....Carol, I'm afraid that wasn't very clear.....;)
I've told people the same things about my articles. If you don't like them, well don't read them !!!
it's like music-if you don't like it, don't listen to it
and tv
and movies
and books
and ______
i agree
i can't help but find the humor in the fact
that it's mostly americans
who would try to stifle your voice
what ever happened to "freedom of speech"?
I think you're awesome, and I don't always agree with you, but you're intelligent, and that's what I look for in comments and friends.
LOL. Keep on truckin'.....
I find it humorous that some people think that they have the only opinion that matters.
I don't know what happened, but this one had me LMAO.
I agree! If you don't like it, don't look! If you're going to go on a personal rant and not answer the question at hand, don't answer at all!
People on here say that you can "know" someone by their content without knowing them in real life! Then the same thing can be said for those who make idiotic comments! Those comments show what kind of person they are.
I don't see why this person is irritated, but it sure makes me happy.
You are partisan to the extreme on purpose. And you are shocked and indignant that that might be called "irritating" ???
Or is this just another cry baby article for points, since you dish it out but can't take it.
(Here's another point for you and for me)
ha ha.
You gotta love the VIEWS they are giving you!
LOL!!!! You're fiesty!! I like that!!
At least some of us are here because we write literary works, not how much you made on some deal!
Your driving me batty with that blasted icon...go switch clothes or something, will ya.
Uh oh! Someone's a little flustered. Just ignore them Carol. You're not new to any of the garbage that goes on around here. If you ignore them, they will go away and find another person who gives a damn to bother. That simple.
