Monkey Musings Daily Open Discussion #14 2/2 -2/5/09

Ok I am buckled up !!  But if I do not post this - then I will lack the same integrity and character as I did a few months ago!!

I am a Caylee poster!!  I was invited to GM - not really knowing what is was all about.  I thought it would be fun to join another chat!!  That simple!!  I had never even seen the forum!!

Shortly after I joined GM, I was banned from CnG!!  Even before that point, my eyes started to be come open.  In all honesty, at some point, I started to drink the Koolaid  - then decided I did not like the taste of it anymore!!  Some of my friends that got banned and where upset.  Merely, because they did not know why or what they had done wrong!  It was the just the principle of it!! So I did attempt to contact Mrsk and find out why!  I honestly could have cared less!!  However, she chose to ignore our requests for an explanation!! 

Anyway, I am certain there were certain members of GM that did not like me there and felt I could not be trusted!!  Of course, they were reading the posts at CnG!!

BT was very kind and sweet to me and she made me feel welcome!! That is my only experience that I can go off!!  And for that, I am thankful.  And I feel bad that her feelings are getting hurt!!  BTW, at this point, I would defend anybody that has treated me with kindness and respect!! 

So, if like BT, am I a bad person??  I don't understand the rules!!    Am I allowed to like all of you?? 

Just as you like BT there are others that don't feel the same as you.  You are all welcome to your own opinions.  In the case of CnG however, there really isn't anything BTgirl can say that will change my mind.

I am curious of those who continue to post or chat along side of Yapperz in particular as she has made it clear how she feels about me, Red and SM.  So if in chat she's not talking about it, she is fishing for information.

Klaas, I really don't want to try to change your mind about CnG. Hey! They banned me, LOL. 

Seriously, though, I think everyone should be free to think what they want to. As far as Yap, when she's in chat, she's like the rest of us. We've been talking about snow, recipes, music, and dogs, and that's about as sinister as it gets.

[SunnyinTX]

Very well stated SunnyInTexas.

Kermit....I seldom post in Nat's thread because after 3 years I had to step back and get back into my life. However I read and I wanted you to know I believe in you and thank you for all you do

[always 1]

FYI - I just got an email from SAN from work.  She just wanted to say this 

     

[BTgirl]

Is GM the Gold Monkeys site?  And is that site also full of back-stabbers or am I reading things wrong???

Leroy, I don't feel like I'm a back stabber, but I guess it all depends on your point of view.

[Tamikosmom]

If you lay down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.  JMHO 

 

Not my Brandi!!  No fleas!!


Hey MuffyBEE ... I have deciphered the hidden truth.  Can I call you Shango?  CAPS?

I dont think every poster at the CnG site are back-stabbers....just from the slideshow you can see for yourself who is.  As for GM I just never heard of it so was wondering.

[texasmom]

Casa,
I didn't mean to imply that you'd said anything at all about me.  Not saying you didn't, maybe I just haven't seen it YET...there's always hope for another episode.

However, I did mean to make a point.

Who's forum are you in?  

Clue:  The name is also a color....

Next clue....English teacher

Is there anyone else that you just MIGHT owe an apology.  Frankly, considering some of your posts that I've read I was very surprised at your occupation.

Jen, I think it is more with me a difference in beliefs. I never believed Natalee was in the trap.  As much as I looked and tried to see what others saw I could not see it.  Also, I always wondered how Kyle had so much time to blog, email, post on forums while he was on this expedition.  I always wondered if he was enjoying the attention he was getting from the several places he posted and embellished his postings.  I have not doubted the quotes that are attributed to Kyle and I remember reading much of that when he orginally posted some here.  I was also told by my daughter's boyfriend who lives near the town that Silvetti is from and he assured me that he was a good guy.  As you can see I don't have proof.  This is what I was told and in the case of the cage what I did not see.  Therefore, after all is said and done and it is all true I will aplogize for having misgivings about it.

Leroy, GM is another forum, but not a lot of posting takes place there. We're mainly there for the chat room. Some of the people in chat are still posting at SM, some are former SM posters, and some don't even know what SM is. We generally get together in the chat room in the evenings and talk about the stuff that old people talk about - recipes, aches & pains, pets, weather, TV, etc. It's all pretty ordinary really.

let me step up to state that having been to that chat, that it isn't all about puppies, rainbows, or polishing your halo BT.

I just cannot understand why you feel compelled to tell everyone over and over you don't choose sides. To a degree that is determined by the company you keep. Exactly why I have made some of the decisions that I have.

Let's at least be mature and reasonable for a change, I think there's been more than enough stress from people having to read that slideshow - I just keep asking you again and again to please not make it worse.

But you  will not stop.

I'm a bit confused but I assume you are talking about GM since that is a color, and I am a member there.  I'm not sure how being there makes me owe someone an apology if that is indeed what you are talking about.

Thank you for your response, casa.

From my personal perspective, there was no need for embellishment or enjoying attention at Freebirds for Kyle.  The first place the information was supposed to go, was to Beth.

It's not as if "Kyle" were some anonymous blogger as most are, so his embellishments (if they were such) could have been easily proved or disproven.

However ... they must adhere to the back-stabbing.  Why else would any poster who upheld Klaas and the Scared Monkey site remain a member of CnG while being fully aware of the back-stabbing.

Leroy ... am I making sense?
