Time for darkness.... (thread number 3)ears open

[Gardener]

Hi, all,
I have been lurking and sitting this one out.

But I have to say that as many times as I have praised the brave, compassionate, selfless, wronged, kind people on this board who look beyond their own very real pain and reach out to help - and bond with - total strangers, I have never seen such an outpouring of genuine -though for the most part completely unheeded - care and concern as I have on this frustrating thread.

A good, honest, paying-it-forward, amazingly determined and concerted effort to help that is met by little more than "yeah, buts," denials, excuses, poor-me-isms and rudeness directed at the very people who are giving their time, their effort, their hard -won experience to help yet another total stranger...who doesn't seem to want it or to appreciate it at all: just refute, refute, refute.

I say "God Bless You" to Serenity, puppy, robx, citygirl, daddyl, pearl, et al, for a valiant effort!
Perhaps it will all sink in and register eventually, if not immediately.
You should all be proud of yourselves
I am.
