180. I agree with what you are saying
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 05:39 AM by AnIndependentTexan
What turned me off is that I'm one of the people that was attacked. I admitted I might have made a mistake and had stopped looking into it because I was giving myself a change of prospective. By peaceful means that is what I've been trying to point out. When Bonzo was trying to assume just because someone posted on Cybernet or talked about CyberNet they were a freeper it isn't always so. That is also what caused many people to feel that they were preaching censorship.

I've been trying to point that out to Geo in pm's what you just said tonight. I still don't know myself what to trust. More then anything I just wanted to know the truth of what was happening. I also believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt because that is the only way we are ever going to solve anything. I've felt with everything that has happen the media is to blame. Parts of me also feels what put us all on the edge was Bev Harris statement that the media was on lock-down.

To me that created the distrust within the system. With all the information that was coming out after the election many of us have been on the edge. I tried to be rational when I posted here about looking into things not because I was spreading information, but because I wanted to know if I was being lied to or if there was something I wasn't seeing.

I've learned even with being rational people are still going to make mistakes because were are only human. Part of being human is learning and if we can learn from the mistakes that happen we will be able to grow from them as well. I claim I'm no expert. I will point out though a passion or hobby of mine is writing novels. I have two that I'm working on. I am not a published writer because I'm still learning.

The reason why I'm posting this information is because when I research character development you must first learn about what the character will be. That means if you are going to apply a job title you have to research background from that. I'm not going to say that I'm the best of researchers because I'm only 23, but that is were I learned to research.

This along with being 23 might have been bad for me. I've also mentioned that I'm transgender. When I found out I was TG I researched it to know more. I'm trying to learn as I go because I would like to be a trangender therapist. It is a life long goal I have even though I finished college.

I tried to be careful, but even I will admit that is were I made my mistake. Being careful might have lured me into looking, but it was only because I wanted to know the truth. I felt that it was a interesting mystery. That is were my passion or enthusiasm might have been lead astray.

It is because of the therapist that I stopped and took a break. The break helped me think and try to find a peaceful solution instead of assuming anything. It is also because of this part that I'm open to listening and I'm willing to learn from it.

I'm also willing to step away on it and focus on other things. If you are honest with me I will be honest with you. I have nothing to hide. If people feel I have done something wrong I'll listen to what advise they have so that I can correct my mistake. When people are willing to listen and they are accused then that only makes it harder to trust both ways.

I won't claim to know what is right or wrong. I also won't claim what should and shouldn't be done from this. I think we all have to decide for ourselves what is right or wrong. If I'm judged badly because I made a mistake then all I can do is ask to be forgiven.
