Ayko Madder! lol

[Ayko]

I am reading the page turner´Rose Madder, all filled with suspense, sympathizing with Rosie. Then, towards the end, comes the scenario with the tree and replanting of the evil, if you read it that way, and I did and I was so P-ed off. The whole story I am routing for someone who is also on the edge, and I am feeling sorry for her. How could I have fallen for it? Perhaps she was evil in a previous life and that is why ended up with such a brutal killer husband. A lesson of life, I would dare to say. But who knows? WHERE IS THE SEQUEL Mr King?

Seriously though, an amazing novel. That twist of evil losing at the end but not defeated is a typical horror story ending that comes so totally unexpected...Super novel!

...no sequel my friend...he made his point, and it's a linchpin of many of his writings...the indestructibility of evil...

The story would make a good Creepshow short, in my opinion. One complaint I do have with the novel is the ease at with Rosie was able to find a homeless shelter run by good folks. Imagine a runaway teen that is a Stephen King fan would believe it to be that easy and got mixed up with the corruption and sleaze that often accompanies such places. That bothered me a little.

Read it again. It might sound better.

Your statement is a paradox so before I read it again deparadox your statement. By the way, how is bleavis?

What I know is my statement is not a paradox. What I don't know is what my statement is. I'm not saying I don't know what I'm saying nor what my statement was.

I think what I wrote was a metaphor.

How can it sound better when I am giving friendly advise to protect innocence and young ladies while you try and ridicule that? It is a paradox because I could never find a good sound in something that is corrupt and abusive to the innocent. Perhaps you didn't know that but, now you do!

It was definitely not a metaphor. You want to know what a metaphor is? A blunt is a leftover part of a drug that someone saves for desperate times. That is a metaphor.

I just read that part. I must say it did bother me too.

I hope you understood my reasons for not accepting your friend request as I explained in my Ayko Madder thread. Let me add a few points.

Message Board friendships, regardless of which board, are totally overrated. To be honest, I think it is a waste of time. I do not need to advertise who is my friend and who is not. That just makes it a show and lessens the meaning of friendship. In addition, what ever happened to becoming acquaintences before friends. Making a new acquaintance to your friend right away leaves one open to infiltration of an enemy. I am not saying you are an enemy but, principles are meant to be practiced, and not just once in a while. Anyone here ever served in the military???

Since blunthead promised not to ever respond again on my Ayko Madder thread, perhaps to prove him or herself a true friend, I have no clue what that is supposed to mean. I am glad that I did not immediately accept his or her 'friend request'. And what is this 'friend request'? My message board has a PM mailbox but no friend request from people I cannot look in the eye or perhaps has two or three people using one account which many do, even here. Get real! Friends are born through acts and experiences with one another over the course of time. I do not throw around the word friend just to make a point.

I am not being judgemental, but if you had been through what I have been through you would be more than sceptic.

Also, I realize that Rose Madder is a story, and we understand that is how you all would picture the scene with a female hostile all fine and well, no damage done. The message was a 'neutral' piece of information for your knowledge and was in no way judgemental. How is the statement judgemental. Sometimes I feel a mobbing attack coming on. Wouldn't you? Why make a problem where there is no problem? Luckily, I am not so huffy and puffy like others here.

And to GNTLGNT, we are not being huffy and puffy, but we are being macho just as many (of the ladies) are here. It is our style and you all do not have a monopoly on the art of being macho. I said I would give blunthead the benefit of the doubt and ´see how the board contact continues. No kisses please.

Less trying to provoke me and more action please.

[Ayko]

I am glad you have offered me your explanation. Considering the Tommyknockers message you posted on the thread I started there I find it somewhat difficult to accept the sincerity of your explanation especially after the messages I posted on my message board today. However, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, this time, and leave it at that. As for accepting your friendship offer I must decline, at least for now. I belong to what you might call a club or brotherhood and we do not declare friendships with people we do not know very well. How can you build a friendship on a lousy introduction, regardless if one or the other or both are to blame? Let us say, for now, that we are acquaintances on this message board and we will see how the contact between us continues from there. I do take back what I said about your profile name, blunthead. For us, names are divine and, in my opinion, there are too many internet users that abuse the art of choosing names. I also have no problem with you being a smartass, as you call yourself, as long as you are respectful. Later...
