If so, thanks very much. It’s okay with me, it really is, but could y’all let me know how I messed up, so I can at least TRY to avoid the same mistake again?
The ones heretofore, (GOD, I LOVE that word!) I know about, but I’d appreciate it, if our mods/admins could send me a pm, so I could at least TRY to avoid pissing people off?
I have so many misguided intentions. I have this “Chivalric” state of mind sometimes, and it just doesn’t fit here, I know.
I sometimes go to bed just worrying which of my kind friends I have gotten into one of my STUPID rants with, and it keeps me up, trying to remember who it was that helped me and my D out of a tough time a few years ago, and I hang my head, because everyone here knows I can hang some very vicious words together to hurt.
If that has already happened and I know it has, I am so sorry and I ask forgiveness.
Thanks

Quasi, nobody is reviewing your posts before they show up in the thread. I know you think you’re saying things that might hurt someone’s feelings, but I can tell you that you’re NOT hurting anyone. I think you just worry about it so much that your mind deceives you into believing you’re being harsh.
I’m wondering if maybe you could have Dondra review your posts before hitting the submit button. I assume that you trust her judgment and I also assume that she knows you way better than anyone else. She can tell you if you’ve crossed a line, and she can also reassure you that you’ve said nothing offensive.
Would that be a feasible solution?
Quasi, no one is reviewing your posts before you make them. The staff, like all your friends here, are aware that you’re having some struggles, and we’re all trying to help steer you away from getting into too much trouble.
That doesn’t mean you’re above the rules, of course, and you and I have had a couple of conflicts about this rule or that. (Though I think we’re cool with each other now, I’m certainly cool with you.)
Know that mostly people are sympathetic, and if people – mods or otherwise – start suggesting that you stop and take a deep breath when you get going on something, it’s probably a good idea to stop posting on that particular topic till you can calm down and gather your thoughts.
But, in general, we’re continuing to treat you like every other poster – which is what you want, right?
Best,
twicks
I’ve been examining your posts before they appear. That’s how I know you always know I’m just joking. Also, I’m not going to stop you when you start ranting, it’s too much fun to watch 
Twicks and everyone,
Thanks very much. I can’t explain my behavior any better than I already have, except to say I’m “projecting” what’s going on here with us, and how I’m trying to help it not to project onto y’all, and that’s not fair. The answer doesn’t lie with you, it lies within me, and I need to try to remember that.
You guys and ladies have been MORE than patient with me, and sometimes I can’t help but think we’ll all rest a lot easier when I “turn that corner”.
But hopefully that will be a “Long Time Comin’”.
I love y’all. I really do.
Dude! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind! I’ve often wondered if I’m more fun than Dennis Miller!

We are definitely not doing that, and even if we can, it’s hard to imagine a situation where we would. If you want some advice or feedback, we’re happy to help. But for whatever it’s worth I don’t think you need anywhere near that much help.
Why would anyone care enough to pre-censor a poster? This ain’t Stormfront.
We don’t censor them. We just quickly post a bunch of stuff ahead of theirs that makes them look stupid. I steal all my best jokes by examining other Dopers posts while they’re still editing. That’s why you see all those posts that just have ‘nm’ in them. They post, see I made the same joke right before them, and then they edit it out. Isn’t everybody doing this?
Thanks very much. I hate to admit it, but I let myself get off my meds a lot, because one of them is a patch, I have to put on after I take a shower. One day I ran out, meant to tell D I needed a refill, and, of course forgot for a few days.
The patch is the only med she doesn’t “set up” for me, and she trusted me to handle it myself.
Now there’s a reminder over the mirror which reads,PATCH???.
I am now kinda sorry I started the thread, because it makes it sound like I’m trying to get the mods/admins to take something off my shoulder and make life easier for me, and that’s not what I’m about. I’ve faced many challenges in my life and I can handle this one as well.
Besides, I now have an incentive!
Thanks!
Quasi
You did bring up a good idea though- can we start a list of posters who we can nominate to have their posts reviewed before submitting???
I kid, I kid!!! 
I think we’d have to start paying our mods/admins a salary, ITD. Maybe pay them a quarter for everyone they warn us about before it goes live?
I’m kidding as well, but Jesus, why do they do it all?
I’d like to see all of them contribute to a thread called “Why I Do This At All”.
Goddam, SO much abuse! I can only liken it to being in a Marine boot camp which never ends.
Thanks
