Ditto on Violaine.
She's always been very kind to me.

{{{{{{{{{{{{Kathlene, Misha}}}}}}}}}}} Thank you both so very much! I don't know what made me come and read this thread but I'm so glad I did!

I hold a mirror up for both of you---you also are articulate and intelligent, and highly thoughtful! Each in your own way, you also build community here. I'm so glad you're in my life!

i'm holding up a mirror for any and all BFPlanteers i've offended, pissed off, wronged, skeeved, slighted, annoyed, hurt, mystified, and/or otherwise maligned.

thank you for being honest about the way my words and/or actions make/made you feel. i like it when people are straight with me in an honest and non-humiliating way. i know it's not easy to sit with the discomfort that discussions about hurt feelings and offensive words generate. i appreciate the effort it takes to have such conversations. looking back over the last 10 years gives me comfort because i've had to be smacked upside the head less and less, thank the Universe. i feel some of those smacks keenly still, but i know they were appropriate to the circumstances at the time and i'm glad i remember them if for no other reason than they sometimes make me hesitate before i engage in my own special brand of asshatery.

thank you to those who mentor me through my attempts to embrace my humanity, for witnessing my struggle to be less of a jerk and acknowledging same, and for being gentle with me while i flounder around like an idiot trying to avoid the unavoidable journey.
