But the sad fact is that if a Troll follows me from another blog back to my own and gets rude or abusive, or is rude or abusive to my guests here, I have to protect myself and my guests here. They come here to Rest and and Read and Think and sometime for talk and sometimes for respite amoung like souls, and I appreciate that. So I DELETE ALL trolls- period , they are not allowed to come here and pick on anyone, or pretend to have discussions, It also means that no one is allowed to hijack the comments or the discussion. I am smarter than that. But that is how I run my humble little blog. We all have to make choices, and decide what we want. But if I go somewhere and women are being hurt or targeted and then that trouble follows me here , yes I will speak up- that is what I have to do.Silence is a very dangerous Weapon is this era. Voices matter.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1140121454888133622006-02-16T15:24:00.000-05:002006-02-16T15:24:00.000-05:00Enigma,Ironically though, I think this troll issue...Enigma,<BR/><BR/>Ironically though, I think this troll issue ties into your thread here about bullies and whether we hide or whether we get right back up in their face. As I've stated, we always have the option to ignore a comment. Just like we have the choice to walk away if somebody is abusive. I can only speak for me, but I think a 'peaceful' life necessitates that I remain aware of my own control and how much I am willing to give up to some creep trying to bug me. I don't give them the power to bug me if I can help it.<BR/><BR/>They do not call the shots, they do not dictate how I respond. They might upset me or maybe even hurt me, but they will not shut me up.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689786323490572915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1140111293320964712006-02-16T12:34:00.000-05:002006-02-16T12:34:00.000-05:00Lilly's question about the deleted comments- I rem...Lilly's question about the deleted comments- I remove on the edited page and for some reason the part about "deleted by Blog administrator" have been removed and don't show now- this is new- it used to always show up- i have no idea what happened- I do know that 2 weeks ago the Blogger was down and they said they were working on Comments...so I don't know?enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1140107747747861602006-02-16T11:35:00.000-05:002006-02-16T11:35:00.000-05:00Thanks Tina - for coming by- nad I have no idea wh...Thanks Tina - for coming by- nad I have no idea where they come from- and yes I have been DELETING the problem- we gals have to look out for each other- man nothing makes them feel like a BIG man like picking on a woman- kind of like Unca Dick shooting an old man in the face....enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1140106992065837742006-02-16T11:23:00.000-05:002006-02-16T11:23:00.000-05:00Enigma: OMFG... where do these troll freaks of nat...Enigma: OMFG... where do these troll freaks of nature come from?

If we choose to be Angry and Fight Back- that is OUR RIGHT. None of us need small minded people take away that Right. in 1770's the First Americans- the Real Americans- the Real Patriots fought back, they had newspapers, and underground middle of the night newspapers, and they spread the word and Fought back.As Americans- we should be ashamed of an Administration that acts as Criminals-bullying people- even women and children, and engaging in rendition,torture and imprisonment, and Abu Gahrib and Gitmo are just pieces of a Sadistic Puzzle- nothing to be proud of. Katrina alone should be a source of shame to ALL Americans.And now an old man has been shot in the face by one of our leaders, more Shame. <BR/><BR/>Mr.Troll- your insincere little messeges about my health and wellbeing have been forwarded to the Authorities- we will let them decide your motives and sincerity. You have been warned to leave my Blog and blog posse alone. I have done you no harm- I reccomend that you leave this Blog alone.Cowards should know better than to harrass strong women.I have a good Heart and a strong spirit- it is WHY I have survived and lived so long.Shame on you.<BR/>You remain deleted.enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1140072671818786692006-02-16T01:51:00.000-05:002006-02-16T01:51:00.000-05:00Watergate Summer Bloghits= 1,490,000 today wed.

I beat up a BOY bully in the 4th grade, and I earned instant respect from many of my peers. But, he asked for it and he sought it out with me repeatedly. I finally gave him what he asked for.<BR/>That's how we're raising BabyGirl to be, also. You don't look for it. You don't seek it out. But you do defend yourself when push comes to shove.<BR/>And Grover kicks ass... remember the 1 skit from Sesame Street where he dances like John Travolta in a white suit w/a wide collar with his naked blue furry feet?

I'm talking about the record deficits BushCo continues to fuel. Wait until our children catch those payoffs on the chin...<BR/><BR/>And speaking of fuel, Bush's oil buds are wallowing in off-the-chart profits. And one wonders how students who had their finacial aid slashed and senior citizens who had the Medicaid strangled feel about making those tax cuts permanent.<BR/><BR/>As for Cheney's "accident," I think this week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots at Democratic Underground had the best description: "Sources close to the vice president say that just before the incident Cheney was giving off sparks and shouting 'EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! ALL HUMANS MUST DIE!'

Studies show most leaders were somewhat aggresive children, so do we want to teach our kids not to be aggresive and thus religate them to be worker bees. Personally I teach mine to always look people in the eye, and not get in over their heads. If you can get away from trouble then do so, if you can't, then fight like hell. If you have to fight, then fight to win. Be the hero, not the bully. Better to die standing than on your knees. Finally, that brains solve more problems than fists.Yukkionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390144712253455513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1139845820391062282006-02-13T10:50:00.000-05:002006-02-13T10:50:00.000-05:00We've really tried to instill in our son the notio...We've really tried to instill in our son the notion that one should never allow one's self to be bullied. That sort of behavior only promotes fear and detachment in children. However, what worries me is that maybe one day some kid will pick a fight with him at school and Chris will get suspended for fighting back. The fact is a bully will not respect you if you siply go "tell" on him. That just perpetuates his behavior. He has to be confronted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103050059949105443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-1139843313063725762006-02-13T10:08:00.000-05:002006-02-13T10:08:00.000-05:00Stephen, guy after my own heart.

The commercial and ideological world which currently rules and in which they are growing up is their enemy. The only thing that stands in its way is parents who are speaking the truth.
