Frank - with apologies to BA for any dredging. This is not in resonse to this post, but your previous ones
Actually I suggested a thread for LIssie - not to put her on any pedestal, but because I knew for a whole raft of reasons that she was finding it difficult to post, but could still visit the boards.
I just wanted to tell her publicly how much she had meant to so many people at a time when, due to cirucmstances beyond her control, her self esteem was not always good.
It was never meant to go overboard or 'gush', Just an act of friendship and tribute to someone very special, who was being really slammed by life.
I hope this doesn't sound overly defensive. The Amy Fig thing is something else, as we now know [and I am NOT going down that cheeseless tunnel].
Do I regret making the suggestion - no. Would I suggest it again, probably not. I am not sure it has done Lissie much good, which was my only intention.
Sorry Lissie for being the cause of any unintentional pain.
Nearly all of the people who post here are well intentioned, if at times a little hot headed [and I count myself in here!] Most of us are still a little crazy and in recovery. Most of us probably wouldn't be posting if we had finally sorted things.
OK there are some exceptions to this, who genuinely come here, like SNodderly, to help and support. But you guys know what I mean.
So, another plea for kindness and circumspection towards each other. We are hurting to some extent still. Let's disagree, but not beat each other up, please!
