I think Michele herself should take a trip to her own website because it is a crisis right now within itself.
MrsH, I agree with you. I want her to know that some wonderful people's voices have been silenced, people who had been here for years, shared their own pain and personal war stories, yet reached out to give support and insight to others. There were spirited conversations, and sometimes other self help resources were mentioned, but no one, in all my time here, ever said anything negative about Divorcebusting and the material; in fact, I remember many times it was said how helpful Michele had been, and after all, she trusted us enough with our opinions to gather information from us for her most recent book, The Sex Starved Wife.
Michele, what is happening here? Beyond the bannings and post deletions, something else happened that baffles me, something on MrsH's thread. The moderator came along and suggested coaching to MrsH, yet had she been following along at all, she would realize that MrsH is a SAHM who is up against a very difficult H, one who is so wrapped up in his fantasy life with OW that he can't even give her money for preschool for her boy. She's struggling and may have to move, among other things. Is this really the person you want to suggest $150 for a phone session to? It looked as though the moderator had no knowledge of the situation and was simply hawking services.
Michele, I have a very high regard for you, yet I feel the perception of who you are and what you are about will change if this kind of moderating continues. My concern is for you, the moderators, and this board, and what it represents, and of course, for the people who post here. The ones who have had to leave, fortunately, used their resourcefulness to continue to help each other.
