I am learning for the first time that a negative can be applied to a topic/discussion. Ouch. Maybe I should find another community to share these kinds of feelings. Honestly, what do you think? Sometimes I just need to express myself. it is certainly possible that I chose the wrong place.

On second thought, you could have just left this post be. If no one responds, it would quickly be forgotten and fall to the end of the line up. Instead, someone took the time to put me down for my words. i will say this once and put it behind me. I have the rights to express myself. If you don't like it, ignore it. You have deliberately gone out of your way to express that you did not like what I wrote. What did you accomplish by doing so. I am upset, did it work for you? That is all. For the rest, thank you for reading, and I can humbly watch my post descend to the back of the discussions list. I will still be happy.

@ewhiskey You are absolutely right. Whoever gave you a thumbs down is simply petty. No, your comment had just about nothing to do with whisky, but this is referred to a "whisky lover's social network." I think we could all use a place to vent like that.
I applaud your courage for making yourself vulnerable on this website like that. You shouldn't be made to feel embarrassed or ashamed of that post.

@ewhiskey, since one of the last places one would ever find me is inside a church (unless sightseeing!), I can't say that I relate very well to the thoughts you expressed. But I completely support your right to post any kind of thread you choose. Never feel that you need to censor yourself.

Hey guys, it's morning now and the whiskey is out of my system. I woke up wondering if I had been irrational in my post. After reading it, I like what I wrote. I definitely think I over reacted to a thumbs down. It was more the whiskey speaking. I notice that it has been removed. Thank you again for taking the time to read, I do love this community. I just need to stop whining about certain topics. I can recognize that. @CanadianNinja The funny thing about your comment is that I am actually not that religious. At least not in a catholic sense. I started going to church for my son, I am not Catholic. I discovered a community there with amazing people who have welcomed me and my son with open arms. Nobody passes judgement when I stay seated as everyone else passes for Eucharist. And the priest is a wealth of wisdom regardless off the the Bible he reads from. All this to say, my post is written about what I listen to. Ultimately what I choose to believe from what I've heard in church is that God is Love. It keeps it simple and I am surrounded by it. I don't need to question past that.
I'll bring it back to Whiskey now, last nights post were brought to you by the influence of Highland Park 12 and Kilchoman Machir Bay.
Cheers! and sorry for the over reaction!

@ewhiskey My friend I dont think you over reacted honestly. Sometimes it's really sad and interesting to see what people rate down on Connosr. It doesn't always happen and sometimes there is a legitimate reason for something to be rated down, but as your topic says "My topic aside my whiskey". If people don't want to read a topic about something other then whisky, then they shouldn't open the topic. simple as that.

I began writing this over Facebook but felt that I would have more support on this site. Cut/Paste. I am slightly under the influence of whiskey and my poetic juices are flowing. At worst, thank you for reading. Please do not pass negative judgement, I am just searching for listening souls. I may regret this when I wake to soberness. Here is my paste
It was when I stood in the back of the church. The choir was singing, my wife's voice prominent over the rest, but even more, the light through the stained glass. I stared expecting a grassy field. Instead, I received love and warmth. Was it god who stood on the other side of the glass? Logic would tell me no, and experience who ask who god is anyway. Was it part of his plan for my mother's life to be taken by another man? I probably would not have met my wife if it hadn't happened. I would not have my beautiful son Simon. If all is written by one hand, then I am contempt with where I stand. I am good. I influence good. I lead. I love. Do I need to be baptized to go to heaven? Does heaven exist? I will continue to strive, change bad to good. I will continue to love. I will continue to help. This is my vow and these are my words. Simple and true.
