Confused and bewildered.

I am so confused and bewildered and it stems from you WHOKNEW several timesI have started what seemed like a very interesting post written by you. I must also add that I have found your entries on aidpage facinating and have used them to help make me and my writings better. I have looked up to you almost as a mentor and you have my respect not only for your mind but your unique writing skills as well why have you deemed it necessary to block at least 3 of your fellow aidmates from reading your posts and access to your page? I am one of those blocked and I do not know why. You and I were (I thought) good friends, we shared alot and supported each other. I would just like an explanation as to why I fell into the "blocked" section of aidpage as far as your posts and site is concerned. I still think your a good and kind person but so far the count of people blocked from your site is 3 and counting and we are not new comers, we all have been here for quite a while. Is it right for some to read your posts and others not or do you pick and chose the unlucky ones. I still think your a wonderful person and will continue to honor and respect you but if your going to make informative posts for all to read don't you think that using your power of veto should be fair. All I want to know is why you blackballed me after going out of your way to be my friend. I am still your friend and will stand up for you no matter what, i just thought that aidpage was a democracy thats all. Your friend Sheila   sheshe030

Hello Miss S! How are you today! Fine I hope and your family! I appreciate your kindly and well spoken words which were profoundly sympathetic by the way, ultimately showing a deep awareness and much sympathy for other peoples suffering.

  I am all over the place online and in my work. I never see to much that stands out as the few words did. Simple and to the point, impressive yet very sympathetic. Life is pandemonium, success measured only by our wants. Having said all that i can only say, focus what ever potential you have on the positive. Never give one second's thought to any negitive electrons that get pushed at you and never let them see you sweat.

  Smile,It is a great and wonderful day OUR LORD hath made. Rejoice and be glad in it. And i still say it is a BEAUTIFUL day, and i am sure you are beautiful. May be in the future you can be a wize and trusted guide and advisor to any lost soul that happens your way. GOD Bless!

 in response to W H O K N E W...   I can understand you wanting to be less personal in private messages and more informational on the outside. But I do not understand why you blocked several people from accessing your home page? Where as you could have just blocked them from doing a private message with you instead. My opinion..You aren't a bad peson for doing it but it just doesn't make sense to me...

Thank you for your kind words, Sheshe.

I have chosen to block several people due to some recent events behind the scenes on Aidpage. While the people involved will remain nameless, they are not completely at fault. I chose to become involved by allowing situations to continue, rather than referring them to the Aidteam to resolve the issue at hand.

Moving forward, I will continue a presence here on Aidpage, however, it will be less personal and more informational. If I cannot practice what I preach, then, who am I to suggest solutions? It would be like me, telling a smoker to quit - not gonna happen! I have never been a hypocrite, and I don’t plan to start now. I would not begin to tell someone to do something, I would not personally do myself, first.

I do want to correct you on one item. I am hardly a mentor. While I have many around me, I fail to see myself in that light. Aidpage has taught me many things; the most important is: I am continually learning from everyone around me. Be it here, on site, or out in society. I notice things and people more than I have before. And I learn where I can improve myself. To me, I am just a messenger – a work in progress.

Thank you again.
