Mostly because of the edit button and not letting us say things they don't want to hear/read. Gee I remember when you couldn't have a thread go more than 100 posts and it would be closed.

The reason they disabled the edit button, is because people would use it to get around the prohibition on people contacting each other (posting private email addresses etc). Although I don't necessarily like that (I have several good friends from the board that I met in real life from the old days when you could do that), I understand that they consider it a liability issue for them.
Well, I went to the therapist today and reviewed with her my little Facebook surprise from MM on Friday. She said "Whatis, I don't think she's messing with your head anymore, she's went straight for your balls this time!" She said that MM posting that photo was a "horribly vengeful and angry act" and that she knew exactly what she was doing. She said that I, Whatis, had been trying to end things in a civil and caring manner and MM wanted to go ugly. Therapist said "she told you she could be mean and she showed you, didn't she". I told her that I don't believe MM was seeing anyone else and she agreed. She said "this woman didn't have the time and with the time and communication you two had together, it seems unlikely" she said "she knew exactly what would hurt you the most and did it" She also said "now all the good memories of the fun you had was wiped out by that act" Very true, it tainted everything. Anyway, I'm OK today. I felt pretty sad at the therapists, it was so hard to talk about that photo. Therapist said this brought back all the feelings from the betrayal in my marriage. So, she said to let myself grieve and when it's done, I'll know it. It comes and goes. Therapist said "give yourself time, Whatis. This wasn't just a dinner or two, you two had a relationship together. You cared about each other" Yeah, we did.
