I won't dwell on the negative for long but the subject did come up re: enemies.It isn't a matter of time and energy. Some people don't hate another person quite personally but hate what another person seems to stand for.

An example may help.

I posted on a certain BB about Jako prolly being a pedophile. Also, said that he is a mutant. Shrotly after that I got an email from Artist Launch Admn. with an Attach. I opened it and it destroyed my HD.

It was told to me that this email did not come from AL and I believed it did not. It came from someone that hated what I posted. The timing of it was too damn close to not believe that notion.

I also believe that a few others in the past few years have been sabotoged in this way and other ways by "enemies". I am not a paranoid person but I do believe that I have enemies. Now over time the list has probably gotten smaller,since I am not seen as an enemey by most But there was a time when the list was large.

I have also made a few friends on the Net and have met some in person.

than saying 'i'll always be there for you"... its being able to give and take without expectations on either side. Its also nice to know you can ask without looking like a fool - and its not often that I can do that. I have one very very good friend that I know I can approach with anything and know he'll be there - he's gay. I've come across a fair bit of envy with women, and I've also had the "you dont phone or write or come out" pressure, which has annoyed me. Straight men usually want something, so I'm careful with such friendships ;) - been burned enough!

So if I need to talk, who would I pick up the phone and talk to?

I have some great friends at work, but because of my profession and confidentiality issues (HR) I cannot always vent to them.

I believe that I'm a good friend to many, but am very very selective about my own friends. I know people like to talk things out with me knowing it will not go farther than me, or know that if its in my power to do so, I will help out, and I love that feeling. If thats what makes us friends, then I'm happy.

I get into a lot of trouble for my bluntness, so Phil, I can relate. I'm not into game playing - even if I risk being hated/unpopular. So I get on well with straight talking folks. Sigh. :dunno

Phil - BTW, are you talking about Michael Jackson being a pedophile? I dont believe that. I think he's re-inventing his childhood vicariously through the children he's befriending. I really feel sorry for the guy.

Yeah, I am. I have it on reliable authority. I am confident that this person knows. She wrote an expose' on him in Vanity Fair. No law suit followed. I believe he is 100%.

Your more in depth description is quite good about friendship.

no it was a joke. i married an older eyetalian lady and for a long time she thought "volcano" corrupted me. for those of you who missed what i edited i wrote " as long as my mother thinks i am innocent as a lamb that is all that matters". gotta keep up appearences for your mom. now we laugh because we all know i was like this before i met her. :yeah

I'd find it impossible to name someone on the basis of his net persona to call an 'enemy'. That would be stupid.

I don't think I have any "enemies" in rl either. That would also be stupid.
