Celebrating the Freedom!

There's an old saying: "Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining."

This is exactly what the nicBitch does.
While nonQuitters cruise along thinking everything is hunky dory the nicBitch is screwing them to death!

Refuse to be a victim!!!

'usflag'
Independence Day now has a double meaning.
Never again, nicBitch; I've tasted the freedom!

From Proverbs 9

Whoever corrects a cynic invites insult.
Whoever rebukes a mocker incurs abuse.

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still.
Rebuke a wise man and he will respect you.

Good morning folks.

After losing several nights of sleep over the events of the past several days here at KTC and after reading and listening to the posts here and in other contexts, I'd like to post this for your consideration:

I've come to the conclusion that the ONLY victor in this entire debauch is the nicBitch. It's a bit of an analogy but it is no understatement that the bitch has divided and is now attempting to conquer. While she has people "in house" at each other's throats there are many preHOF quitters slipping through the cracks back to their poison and their deaths. Just imagine if all of this energy could have been focused on helping them! That is not a "pipe dream;" it could have happened -- to cordially and simply discuss our differences while turning our big guns to the big problems.

When we've "won" - and no one really does - this here battle and placed our flag on the hill what will we really have accomplished? If we haven't saved a life, it means nothing! Nothing!

Let's face it, this is not our vocation; it is our avocation. Each of us has only a limited amount of time and resources to give to KTC. You can spend yours beating up Admins, Mods, authority, the system, those who disagree with you and the like. That's your decision. As for me, I'm going to turn that energy back to what, in my opinion, matters most. Helping those who want to quit to succeed and those who have quit to continue. KTC saved my life and I'm going to help her save the lives of others.

At the end of the day that is what really matters.

Well said Keddy!
Thought provoking, inspirational, and motivational. I expected nothing less from ya, Keddy!
It is so true my friend.

I know for myself I lost the sleep as well, but I discovered something that out of what seems to be that low point, I found if you go back to basics to look at what really matters, things start to get so much clearer.
I Always find your post inspirational. This one is no less!!!!! Thank you Keddy.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.
