TamaraJ and others .
Friends, I am requesting that you consider the following if you are going to reply to Tamara's post about what could have IMO the potential to be defaming to me.
You see, defamation has many definiitions. But the overiding meaning is that defamation has the potential to "lower the standing in the community" of the person that the potential defamation is directed to.
The term "hijack" has the potential to mean that I am commiting a crime here. I am not commiting a crime by requesting that others consider what I write before they post to the thread. They can still post what they want, for I am only asking for those that want to post to consider what is not seen that could be seen. After they see what I request them ti see, then they can either write what they were going to write before they read my request, or modify it. It is there choice.
It should also be noted here that the word "hijack" carries with it, to me, a far greater hurt than perhaps the poster intended, but none the less, I feel accused and put down when I read that. A hijacker, to me, is one that holds ,usually a plane, with many people abord, in fear of their lives. The hijacker sometimes want money as ransom for their lives. The hijacker somtimes wants to kill large amounts of innocent people including children to further their political goals. Sometimes the hijacker singles out one person an executes them and throws them out of the plane or boat. Thuis happened to twi jewish hosatages, just because they were jews, in a cruise ship and an airplane that I saw the graphic video of. The killer was somehow found recently in Bagdad and died in prison. I do not want to be associated in any way with the word "hijack", so could you please repect my feelings?
My friends, I am requesting that any of you do not write that I am hijacking this thread.
Lou
