Open To Interpretation

I was following links around on the site, bored waiting for my son to wake up and I came across something I found pretty... amusing. And well... I'm bored again so I thought I'd point it out.



I have removed names - I'm sure everyone can figure out who said what as we read.



Awhile ago, there was a homosexuality thread and in that thread - someone said that they felt that people were bashing Christians. So I posted this......



What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You call it Christian bashing, I call it standing up against intolerance. Sucks being on the other side of a group of people OPENLY STATING that they dislike the way you live your life, doesn't it? Take that "Christian bashing" feeling and amplify it by like a bajillion and that's how people who are scared to be who they are feel EVERY DAY because of those Christians and other extremists, that are so intolerant they go beyond just gay bashing with words, they beat and kill gay people.




Now in my trolling - the person that I said that too - posted THIS on another forum;



They have no problem Christian bashing, but when I say homosexuality is a sin I'm called all sorts of names. When I called them on their hypocrasy one of the women actually told me to take how I felt by them bashing christians and mulitply it by a billions because that is how I treats gays. That's when I left. I'm not going to talk to women like that.




I guess what I said is open to interpretation - and I gotta wonder if when people read statements such as that one - if they are able to interpret it in such a personal fashion, internalize it and end up applying it to themselves -- how true it must be to their lives? Should we wonder if this woman would be capable of going beyond words (calling homosexuality a sin) and actually putting into action her hatred? Because that is the interpretation I would then get by her applying my statement to herself so personally.



Is everything we say on here so open to personal interpretation that it doesn't matter what we actually say, since people are going to just take whatever they want from it and turn it into meaning whatever they please? Even if it is wrong?



I also gotta wonder, do these people actually figure that we don't know they're trolling this forum and talking amongst themselves about people on this forum, on walls and in open forums, do these women think that no one can read what they are saying? Why aren't these people talking to us instead of about us?

I agree with you Christa...the problem with debate forums is that it's hard not to take some things personally and feel attacked, when in actuality it's a debate. Something I would venture most of us need to work on!

Instead of renaming anything. We could just respect eachother beliefs and leave it at that. Without throwing any attacks at eachother.

Maybe the whole forum should be renamed Christian Ideals versus Non-Christian Ideals and see how far those debates go @@



Quoting Christa Lammers: Third.....the whole christian vs. homesexuality thing.....Any christian passing judgement on a homosexual.....is a hypocrite! There is not a christian in this world that is without sin....therefore who are they to pass judgement on someone else. Sin is sin!



I gotta agree with you on this one-it's refreshing to see a strong Christian accept homosexuality. But the reality is that people DO JUDGE all the time. And die-hard Bible thumpers will quote the bible proving the sins of homosexuality to demonstrate their belief is right 'cause the big book says so'. That's not cool in my book.

I just noticed some thing that proved my last post to be exactly correct. Has anyone noticed how they put those things next to our names now saying how many convo's we started and how many mom's are in our circles. I want you to all look at how many mom's are in your circles in this group....POINT PROVED!



Nichole,  I missed your point here!  Please PM and explain what you are trying to prove?

I really like the debating mums forum.....but sometimes I really don't understand how the topic gets so far off track here. I think there are like three debates in this one post. I can hardly figure out what to debate about. So here goes my attempt...since I love a good debate.



First....the original topic: I think we all are guilty of misreading posts here on COM or anywhere for that matter. When you use text as conversation instead of your voice box....the meaning of your words are subject being misunderstood. People can't see your facial expression or hear how you change your voice to make your point. We also each have our own beliefs and opinions on things. Our morals and manners are all different as well. Everytime we post someone is going to be offended....because they will have taking our words the wrong way. No one on here should be taking anything personal......we don't even know eachother......you will probably never meet most of these people ever.......move on when you are offended and drop it!



Second......in every forum there are a group (group mean 3 or more) of moms who have been posting back and forth together that they form a friendship. Watch eachother's back, stand up for eachother, etc.......I believe that is one reason why we are all here.....we are looking for moms to connect with. Yes, it is obvious that there is a group of moms on Debating Mums like this. They band together and stand up for each and support eachother and sometimes do come across as mean to others....BUT.....is that wrong.....Hell No! They came here to find that kind of friendship....lucky for them they found it. If you dont' fit in here with them and can't handle the posts (meaning you take them very personally)....then go find a group of moms that you can relate to and post there.....you even have the option to start your own community so you can find exactly what you want.



Third.....the whole christian vs. homesexuality thing.....Any christian passing judgement on a homosexual.....is a hypocrite! There is not a christian in this world that is without sin....therefore who are they to pass judgement on someone else. Sin is sin!



Okay...I think I covered all topics in this topic. I hope I did not offend anyone....I wasn't trying to. I love reading the posts from the clique of moms that belong here (you know who you are) and even though there have been times we have not agreed......I have not been offended nor I have tried to convince you to believe like me. I respect your opinions as I believe you do mine. And for the people that get offended and feel left out...maybe debating mums really isn't for you. Maybe you should look for a forum more for your interests and beliefs.

There's nothing wrong with voicing your opinion about something you don't like, but you should thoroughly make sure you're voicing an opinion about what is being discussed BEFORE you post.

You twisted and completely distorted my original post - and I would say it's a safe guess to say that you didn't even fully read the post in it's entirety - just to go off on a tangent about what you feel is right or wrong.

Which is exactly what we were discussing. People on here, take their own personal crap, apply it to any given situation and then destroy a perfectly good and productive thread by making it about something it's not.

It's good to have questions and want to help. It's great that people have their own opinions and they are formed by their own personal experience - that is what life is. We need to be able to accept that just because we want to interpret something one way or another so that it proves something about one thing or another, does not mean that is what the person meant.

It's not that I don't like this group, I enjoy some of the stuff on here some times and some times I do not. If I come across some thing I do not agree with I voice my opinion like the rest of you do. I also come on here to help and answer questions that other mom's have. I also ask a lot of questions myself being a first time mom.

Wow..leave for a day and all this donkey hits the fan!

All I can say is: critisizing Jo as wanting to start drama (which she doesn't) coming from someone who has now demonstrated more than once that they like to start drama is completely and utterly ridiculous. And proves the point of this post to a tee. If you don't like this group, then why don't you leave already?

So, to add to the original post...we know for certain that it is easy to misinterpret a statement, comment or opinion in order to fuel a personal agenda. What I wonder is, how do we reach out the the 'circle of moms' creators to help them understand the importance of free speech and diversity in viewpoints so that we are not bombarded with all the crap-ass tools like "flag this post", "report this post" and the rules...don't even get me started on the friggin' rules. How can we have an open discussion forum, if there are rules and boundaries? Doesn't sound much like free speech to me... And yes, however silly they might be, the emotionally-driven, personally-afflicted comments are a part of that free speech too...but there is a place for them and it's definitely NOT in a debate thread! Just wondered what everyone else thought about that. I recognize a few of the posters on this thread, including Jo that seem to take heat more than others for their strong-willed views, so I wonder what it will take for the realization that the importance of being ernest is the dose of reality that circle of moms needs!

Well I am glad I was of help but everyone takes things differently. :)


This is NOT about taking things differently.



It's about BLATANTLY taking someone's words and twisting them around.  It was obviously done as you can see in both quotes that Jo used.



I really truly do not understand how this concept can be made any clearer.



It is NOT about attacking people.



People (and the media as Cathy pointed out) twist and construe words around ALL the time to fit their own agenda.

At NO point in the original post did Jo attack anyone. She used a post that had shown how her own words had been taken out of context and twisted to suit a personal agenda.

This is a big issue. It happens everyday in the media. People will hear or read what they want. Change a few words here or there and you can make people believe anything!

I wouldn't want to waste a thank you card on someone who would probably interpret it as a threat instead of a kind gesture LOL buuut I have thanked her for proving my point a couple times along the way here :D



THANK YOU NICHOLE.





And Jaime, Jenn, Dana, Cathy, Amie... thank you for strengthening my comment;





I think the rest of the moms on DM have the intelligence, logic and common sense to see just how you have proven my point.

lol...someone misinterpreted a thread about misinterpreting a thread...and what is so silly is the fact that this someone keeps throwing out the word opinion, believing that she has cornered the market on what the proper use of opinion is and when and where it can be applied to conversation. I'm fairly certain---about 99.995% certain---that everyone has given an emotionally-devoid opinion on the original matter except Nichole...and yet the rant continues...it's not even a case of "you're wrong and I'm right"...I thought the whole idea of this thread was to point out how easily people misinterpret comments on circle of moms. What is even more funny is that in all of Nichole's comments she confirmed the very thing that you were seeking to clarify...she turned out to be the perfect example to strengthen your debate...I'd send her a thank you card Jo....or was that secretly your plan all along?

Again.. if you actually read the post... I wasn't stalking her... I was bored and just goin around COM (which is what it is here for) and happened to come across her post......... but you interpret it the way you want too - just like she did. Why she left is irrelivent.



You're choosing to ignore the actual points behind the original post and all the points that the following discussion presented - points that I will add, everyone up until you - were discussing.



You turned this thread about misinterpretation into something personal - which is exactly what we need to AVOID in order for threads to stay on topic.

Still, even if you think you are right. I still disagree with this and that is my opinion. My opinion is that this girl left because she didnt want to get attacked and then you go and stalk her and find some thing she posted about this group and drag her back into it. That is my opinion of what I see going on here. And Jo, I don't dislike you. I actually do like reading your posts cause I would say probably 80% of them do make sense too me. I am sorry that this one just doesn't. I will say that I do like Jenn for reasons that I will state on a public post.
:)
Enjoy your evening ladies!!!

Getting back on topic, Jo your post was very clearly misinterpreted. I did not participate in the thread that you pulled the comment from, nor did I participate in the thread that you pulled the woman's comment from...but it doesn't take a genius to see that she has taken your comment to an inappropriately personal level, despite the fact that you very clearly state the words "those Christians and other extremists, that are so intolerant they go beyond just gay bashing with words, they beat and kill gay people"...I guess I missed the part where you used personal indicators like "you" to make this woman think that you were directing your comment at her specifically, out of the millions of Christians and extremists in the world.

Nichole, if you would just take 5 minutes and read this entire post - THE ENTIRE THREAD - go back and read it, the whole thing.

Like any logical, sensible person who partakes in a debate - leave your personal attachment to your mindframe aside for a second, go and read it all with a clear mind - an open mind - an intellectual mind.

And DO NOT INTERPRET THE WORDS TO MEAN WHATEVER YOU WANT but take them for what they actually say - you might just see that your whole bitchfest is exactly what I was talking about in this post - PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PERSONAL AFFLICTION WITH ANOTHER MEMBER WILL MISINTERPRET THINGS TO MEAN WHATEVER THEY WANT simply because they make it personal.

Nichole, you made it personal because you don't like me and a few of the other members on DM... and that's fine. But if you want to debate - actually debate - leave your personal shit at the door when you click to enter Debating Mums.

No one wants to listen to your boring poor me two wrongs don't make a right bullshit.

So I will just say, thank you for proving the point of this thread. I think the rest of the moms on DM have the intelligence, logic and common sense to see just how you have proven my point. Maybe one day you will be able to join us in a productive, intellectual debate, but that won't happen if you continue to try and turn every discussion into a personal vendetta.

Wow...this thread took an interesting turn, it went from misinterpreting comments to no one on here is circle friends...wtf? If I wanted to have a debate with my friends I wouldn't need circle of moms. The purpose of a debate is to have a variety of viewpoints to hash out controversial topics, learn new information and move forward in the world of social networking. If we all agreed on every single topic all the time this would be a boring-ass forum! I enjoy the diversity, the tension, the down-and-dirty, back-and-forth banter...at the end of the day, I turn off my computer and go to sleep---I don't toss and turn because someone didn't agree with me or didn't like what I had to say...that's there cross to bare!

You're pickin a bone with the wrong person. She brought it up to start drama. I brought it up (and purposefully removed name) as an example of how people DO interpret anything to mean whatever they want.



Maybe I should PM you HER name so that you can go give her the same speil? Seeing as how she is the one that did what you are bitching about.

If you are amongst the mothers on this site, who do not like any of us, then why continue to post here? Especially after the big song and dance you made about leaving!

There are plenty of people on here, from culturally very diverse backgrounds, who manage to debate from both sides without misinterrupting the other side of the arguement as a personal attack. Some people will always fail to see that the universe does not revolve around them and their beliefs.

What on earth does being friends with the people I (or others in this group) have to do with ANY of this?



 



We became friends because of this forum and the fact that we think a like in many ways. That has NO bearing on anything else. We even disagree from time to time too but that hasn't disolved us to the point where we rant and rave at each other. We can and do debate like adults and actually listen to the other sides argument WITHOUT getting upset by it. I don't understand WHY other people can not do this.

.....can you show us-- in this entire thread-- who else is agreeing with you....or BETTER YET....let them stand up for  themselves.  I don't see anyone else complaining about it but you, and this topic has been up for what?  3-4 days?  Again, people have the option to say something, leave the group  or stay, and I don't see member numbers going down, nor do I see active members complaining about the group. If the person that jacked the topic from this community to take to another wants to respond....guess what....they CAN! How COOL is that??? (I mean, OBVIOUSLY, they're reading the topics......) 



 I've seen a couple of people who feel that they've been slighted because they had a post deleted or a thread locked, (one is)  going off the deep end b/c they don't know how to just say "shouldn't have said that, got deleted, no big deal"  (a.k.a.- being adult enough to adimt that you should have gotten your shit deleted and MOVING_ON)

Wasn't going to post to this argument but ...



Jo has not broken any of the guidelines. She has not used a single person's name in her OP. Doing that would have been a violation but she hasn't.



 



You on the other hand, you posted multiple times the EXACT same post even after the admin & mods deleted them. You were warned, didn't listen and THEN were blocked.

She interpreted what was said to her own liking.

She didn't actually take what I said and take it at face value.

She took it to mean whatever she wanted.

Exactly what you AND MANY OTHERS DO A LOT AROUND HERE.



MY POINT = ASK A QUESTION INSTEAD OF ASSUMING.



MY POINT = TAKE WHO IS SAYING IT AND TAKE IT FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW.



MY POINT = DO NOT MISCONSTRUE WHATEVER SOMEONE SAYS SO THAT IT FITS INTO YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD AND MAKES WHO EVER SEEM EVIL WHEN IT'S CLEARLY NOT THE CASE.



MY POINT = JUST BECAUSE THINGS ARE OPEN TO INTERPRETATION DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD JUST INTERPRET IT TO MEAN WHATEVER YOU WANT.



You... you managed to miss every single point.

And all the other points that the other ladies have also posted.



I'm not even sure where the flying donkey you're gettin this two wrongs make a right... seeing as how... well you couldn't even comprehend the ORIGINAL discussion instead of interpretting it to your own lil bitchfest. So if you would like to start your own discussion/debate/bitchfest about two wrongs making a right I would appreciate it if you took it out of this thread about interpreting information and people's posts for what they mean instead of whatever you want them to mean and put it into your own thread.

It's not about two wrongs making a right. It's NOT about one person in general. It's about the fact that people (in general) only hear what they want to hear. They take something someone said and twist it to mean something else because they aren't taking the time to actually listen. Exactly what you are doing right now.

Quoting dana:

I love it that people argue when they don't know what they're talking about,then delcare that the convo should be locked AFTER they THINK they've made their point.





Dana, this convo should of been deleted or locked when it was started. One of the guidelines of the site is to not use other people in your posts.






Quoting Nichole's other post:   So Jo, if you remember correctly that's what my posts were originally stating. Don't you remember I even added emails from other mothers of this group agreeing with me?
It is fine to debate an ISSUE but when you go on other groups and copy and paste stuff that other mothers have said and then debate that, you are trying to start problems and I find it quite rude. Personally, I think this post should be locked for no further discussion.



 



 



 



...................hypocritical, much?



Do you even KNOW what you say from one post to the next?

I didn't make your post right. I still find it wrong and that is my opinion. You basically did exactly what you thought the other person did too you guys. She obviously doesn't like this group for whatever reason and left it. She posts stuff about you or who ever on another group and then you go and find it and post it here. I don't think it makes it right at all. You did the same thing you are saying is wrong. That is how I am taking what you posted, is that wrong?

So I guess two wrongs make a right???? I think I will teach my son that today.



.......well, I guess that if you're already done teaching him that 'final' and 'farewell' mean "once more" and "be back soon", then I'd say you might as well go with the new lesson plan today. :)
