swl, I can agree with what you say. There are many who are D'd that offer support without judgement. There are also many that are critical of a LBS waiting out an MLC or so called standing. Perception is so different for each of us, and how or when we deal with protecting ourselves. Even to protect ourselves physically or financially we may have to do something that hurts us emotionally and weighing the options takes time to sort out. I know it's taken me a long time to get all my pieces lined up for protection but I'm feeling more like a fine wine or aged cheese... should be worth the time invested.
