You know, I thought to myself last night, I bet someone mentions that thread with Eliot......it really irritates me when people say I was bickering with him...I tried and succeeded in actually avoiding the argument by saying I wasn't interested.......how is that bickering?...

Forgive me if I sound rude but the last week has been a living hell, I just found out my grandmother has almost certainly got cancer and could die within a couple of weeks. I have tears in my eyes as I write this post so I think I did pretty damn well to avoid arguing because I was almost tipped over the edge with that thread yesterday.

I'm not looking for the sympathy vote, I just don't want to be tarred with a brush that doesn't suit me. Maybe I deserve it, but I really hate being known as the one who always argues and bickers. In real life I am one of the most quiet people around, I just never learn about not replying to certain people.

After recent events I am certainly beginning to realise how important life is and the people around you and it has taught me that a forum post that irritates me is about as important as......nothing....hence my outlook and attitude in the forum will hopefully be changing for the better for the long term.
