I think what he is saying is that maybe you should get in here and help others who need your insight. Cause you do have sooo much to give. For your time here, you understand the principals really well. And remember what I said about thanking me? reach your hand back.......

I know- it hasn't been far from my mind, actually. I tried to respond to stillloveshim last night.

I kinda took that as a message from the Universe that maybe I need to take a step back...
I feel like my posts get too preachy. I've been accused of being a "know-it-all" in the past, and I just don't want to come off like that and turn people off. I do feel like I have something to offer, and I remember all too well what it was like being a newbie here- freaking out, alone and scared. I don't want to verbally blitz people, but at the same time there's so much that I could say that I feel would really help them to come down off of "red alert" a lot quicker, and maybe save them wear and tear on their feelings/psyches. It's a fine balance I have yet to achieve......

No probs- we're all in this thing together, right?
Actually, I did it out of self protection. To see how you were taking it out on poor 'ol Trapt brought a tear to my eye....
I'd never treat you the way I treat Trapt. He enjoys it so don't let him fool you into thinking otherwise.

You are worth a million bucks in my book. You keep being long winded or preachy...whatever you want, it works. If you hadn't put everything out there on the table for me, I would still be standing behind the fog. Now I am standing in front of it.
I consider your posts far from being a know-it-all. Next time someone makes you feel that way...send them my way. I'll sic Trapt on them.
Alot of people are very impressed with your insight and advice.
That being said, don't worry what people might think, you have great advice, it would be a crying shame if you didn't post it because you, stupidly, thought you shouldn't or were too preachy, or long winded.
Mach is right, this is how you pay back.
