Get over VH1.
I got over it quite a while ago.
It took me a while, but I've put it behind me. We've all grown and changed.
I don't really see the evidence of that, ohsherrie, judging from people's posts to each other. It still looks as though PF and Lori are here to cause disharmony as they did on VH1 and other boards. I haven't brought any war back. Apparently, it's been here all along.
...We've become a cohesive group here and you can fit into it. PF and Lori have a right to their opinions and they don't necessarily have anything to do with the past that's between us.
This is what you consider to be cohesive? Okay, if you say so. Interestingly enough, I lurked here for a while before I posted recently and from what I read, this is a strange way to show cohesiveness.
Yes, PF and Properry have a right to their opinion, and so do I.
And what is this "past that's between us" business? Who is "us" that you're referring to? Are you the ohsherrie that gave me nothing but trouble when we were on VH1 and on THIS board when good ol' Journeytroll and his cronies were here, or are you a different ohsherrie?
I notice that you are busy defending PF and Lori, but aren't willing to say that I have a right to my opinion. And of course, this post by me will be seen as terribly argumentative and will serve to ignite a fire. Nonetheless, you've done nothing in your post to me to mitigate the negativity. You've accused and assumed, while defending your pals.
They were legitimately offended by the "retard" thing. It bothers me too, but I know that things aren't always very PC on this board. I generally hate PC, but when it comes to insulting a helpless segment of our society I get a little sensitive too. I've been a substitute teacher and I've worked with those beautiful kids.
Good for you, ohsherrie. You were a substitute teacher. I spent ten years in the public school system and numerous summers teaching learning AND physically disabled kids in high school. Ever change a 13 year-old's diaper?
All kids are beautiful by the way, not just the learning or physically disabled. It's just easier for some to "love" the disabled because as you say they are helpless. Yet, when you talk to them, all they want to be seen and treated as is normal.
Sorry if I sounded preachie. I know you didn't bring the word into the mix.

Right, and once again, even though I did not bring the word into the mix, I notice how many people did not take Free to task for the first use of it, but took me to task instead. What hypocrisy...
It's interesting that you somehow believe that you have my respect enough for you to offer me advice. You don't. If you're the same person that I'm thinking of, that war that you speak of was brought over to this board from VH1 by you, PF, Properry, Heardonthestreet and a few others and most of that was directed at me because my SIN was that I had the temerity to come to believe that Journey has the right to exist separate from Perry and I could wish them BOTH well and harbor no ill will toward either. That wasn't good enough for some though because I should love the one and hate the other. Now, I am accused of not liking Perry when in point of fact it's his narrow-minded followers with their inflammatory attitudes that I detest.
I now notice that YOU have listened to Generations and you LIKE IT? Wow, so it's all of a sudden OKAY as far as you're concerned to be a Perry AND a Journey fan because YOU are one? Interesting, but when it was ME in your position, you had nothing but venom that you spewed in my direction on a daily basis.
And even now, you are accusing me of bringing the war over here from VH1 when in point of fact, YOU and your cronies brought it over here! Un-freakin-believable.
Respectfully,
Right ohsherrie...right.
