I didn't misquote you, Michele, and I don't consider quoting several terms
you used to be a violation of anything. If you like, I can post the entire
e-mail and people can judge for themselves. I certainly did not "dump" your
offlist post into a public forum. I merely quoted a few of your terms.
That's considered acceptable. Certainly, after an e-mail like yours, there
is no issue of "trust" involved. Therefore, your accusations are false on
their face.
As far as people on the Internet attacking me, certainly some have done so
because of stances I have taken with regard to religious and other issues,
and some have commented on my appearance -- without of course seeing me or
knowing what I look like. Once I posted a picture that someone thought was
unflattering, and someone made a comment on it that was negative. However, I
know I am not a beauty; I'm average looking. Your attacking me on my looks,
however, even if I were the ugliest person in the world, is a reflection on
you, not me. When I die, God will judge me based on my character and what I
did with what I was given. I'm at peace with who I am and how I look --
today more than ever before.
In short, you cannot hurt me; you can only continue to hurt yourself.
