I think he said supressed not frustrated.

Many harmful advice is given with good intentions.

You are talking about the responses here??? I didn't even read them before i replied. I'm speaking from personal experience and what i see in general not taking swipes at the responses here. Often i'll read the OP and respond just to that. Then later read the rest as i often respond in a rush.

What is right there in front of me.

A lot when you think about it.

Or whatever? It all seems pretty ridiculous and quite a stretch to make any assumptions whatsoever about you personally, it doesn't it? I'd say that I was being out of line hahaha ;) ...and especially because I don't know you or "some people" personally ;)

And what about those "spiritual" people?... Whoever they are, it sounds like they may have gotten the short end of the stick there as well, in your opinion. : Tongue:

What are you talking about??? Sexually frustrated for disagreeing??? And who cares what end of a stick someone gets. Long end, short end, after all its just a stick. lol

That's the only good question you asked. Something worth pondering.

To whom?

Does it have to make sense? Who says anything needs to make sense? And how do you know if i know the people i'm speaking of or not?

Absolutely. If anyone has judgments and opinions, negative or positive, about me. Whether true or untrue, they should share it with me.

Congratulations.
