Rescuing Private47

Thank you all for your thoughts everyone, but now it is time to put down smoking guns and resume what peace we had before the war began.

Special thanks to those who called for me and sarge to restrain ourselves, I have done it for a couple of you and I am glad that you would do the same!

And again sarge I apologize that I offended you and broke what is your idea of trust, I will definitely keep in mind how you feel about it in the future.

I’m not really sure what you want my opinion on.

Spiritman, the thread on recusing myself was a joke, and I didn't mention your name because the messages had been private. I didn't have your permission just like you didn't have mine to post what you did. Here's the skinny; in any survival situation there has to be trust, you just burned yours with me, which is why, after posting this, I'm hitting the "ignore" button on your name, good day.

Thanks Volwest for saying that, and about mentioning my name, I was actually coming on to point that out. that's why I titled my message To those who are still wondering, in response to his new thread.

At first I admit that i did like the challenge of the debate with sarge, but it got out of hand.

so....

Are we done with this yet? Ya know, like I asked you personally before you went and decided to start that thread?

I don't think you had to mention spiritman's name for us to understand who you were referring too. Trust is not measured by what people do, but by what they never forget to do. The intent of Spiritman behind posting your conversations was not, from my window, malicious, or disrespectful...clumsy yes, but what Spiritman never forgets to do is communicate and express his views to better understand himself and others.
This is why he asked what others thought about the subject, and that in itself negates self importance. I will take clumsiness over self importance any day.

Of course, we all have a different definition of trust.
If we were in a group survival situation, and you pressed that "ignore button" on one of the members, it would become my priority, for ignoring one another is the last thing a group needs to function. Disagreements, fights, discussions, anger... are all signs of trying to deal with "it"...ignoring is shutting down...and that's a big no no.

Posting private messages IS a big deal. Violating a person's privacy is just as much against the law as giving the wrong advice to underage kids like you spoke about earlier. If I can't trust someone on this matter then I won't have anything to do with them. Sorry if you disagree.:mad:

Well spiritman I put what I thought about debates on the company ahh ten chun thread. What I think about what the BW guys should have don, I think they should have tested it out a couple times for a week in the summer so they could make changes to their plan if they found they needed to, then test it out in the fall for a week or 2 so that they have a better understanding of what they need or what they should learn before they take the plunge, but taking the plunge in October without a blanket… I think those too are going to be cuddling. I think they should holed off a year and get more practice instead of saying (omg they only have a couple months to prepare) and using that as a stunt. I admire people who do like primitive/minimalist camping and roughing it and when I have enough experience I plan on doing some myself, but these guys are a bit crazy, and with there attitude I’d say their showing off.

I simply said maybe we should look at his intent for doing so, and not the act in itself.

This does not negate his actions...it explains them, and in this light we learn, we grow, we get stronger and less clumsy. Just like a little wolfy hey ?

What are yu suggestig? The SM is someway imature, or just young? What about some sort of a resoloution?:confused: I don't mind his opinions, but to betray the privacy is the point, however, to show my hearts in the right place, I'm open to your suggestions as long as I feel they are valid.:(

First off, I said I wasn't even gonna talk about those two idiots plans anymore, but owl_girl, those two aren't going to wind up cuddling spending October in the bush of northern Manitoba without blankets, they're going to wind up married lmao...no shots at me and wareagle plz.

Sarge, everyone, I think the privacy issue is a big deal. All I can say is anything that is said to me in private will remain in private and hopefully, you'll all show the same consideration. {Otherwise how can I keep pervin' on owl_girl and nell and all those cutsie little teenagers? j/k}
