They can't take her place.

Alice and I were once in the same sale barn and I didn't get to meet her in person.

Even tho Alice was a Molly Ivins fan, I have to respect what she does for the good of her community. Lots of us don't make the sacrafices she does. Actions speak louder than words. I sincerely appreciate her actions.

Thanks for letting us know a little more about Alice.

That's the hard part about the internet and discussion groups, we judge on "written word", and not the reality of everyday life. The same as email, it's hard to sometimes gauge the emotion/message being sent.

I'll take your word "backhoe", and also commend Alice for her service towards the community.

But her tolerance of others on PB is anything but pure! Anonymity should not be an excuse.

Gets back to my question on another thread. Why do people deny their beliefs?

Only Sandhusker has answered so far, if everybody takes a look at the question, it has the potential to be a very informative thread, in my opinion.

I answered your question on that other thread. I have no idea why. It doesn't make sense. Maybe they don't like who they really are and they can be in some kind of fantasy land here. Some of them change their names but it doesn't work. Truth comes out eventually. Anyway, I have no idea why people do such things.

She isn't making anonymity an excuse. Maybe she just trusts me. She is ALMOST as stubborn as I am. Seems like it anyway. She posted her pic for all to see who she is.

Alice and I will likely always be across the fence from one another, but that's okay. Molly Ivins would get your blood pressure up. I had to quit reading her column. Alice liked her.
:shock:

Alice and I can debate without taking it personal it seems. We have some common ground too.

I missed your answer, I'll go back, I may have been to busy with those pecking tweety birds.

We're all stubborn, I choose to try not to attack the individual, but the message (that reminds me, we should have a discussion sometime on PB about message/receiver and marketing.)

Maybe Alice and I will always be across the fence too. I will always try not to intentionally offend her, or question her intelligence.

My answer was/is 'I have no idea." All I can do is postulate assumptions. Only the person living in fantasy can tell you why they want to be there.

Most personality tests put people into 4 groups. Others divide those further into 16 groups.

Any group will be roughly the same % of the 16 sections.

Only those truly in la la (fantasy) land are outside the 16.

If a person is skilled and disciplined they will direct their message in a manner that resonates with the majority, or those that he/she needs to "get on side"

Obama or his speech writers are very skilled. They resonate to those living in "la la land", besides the majority.

But....

As people have the time and experience to analyze what is being said, and how reality affects them, their emotional reaction and their intellectual reaction do not coincide as much. Thus raising doubt, and lowering the trust level.

They will get the message eventually, and Obama will not be re-elected.

I think I just high jacked the thread, sorry!

Many of is if not most have known Alice, online at least for long enough to have given her a chance. We have mentioned it before but many on PB have been over at Cattletoday for years.

Mrs G, in my defense, I'm pretty sure you will not find anywhere I have ever attacked Alice, except for her deceptions, and what she posts.

I try to stay out of the personal attack mode. I will attack what someone posts, I feel that is fair game.

And feel free to attack my written word also.
