Trusting, I may be wrong, but many of the mlcers are very, very competitive and unfortunately, to them it becomes a pissing contest, whereby they always want to "one up us".
I've noticed it quite a bit on the board and I've experienced it w/my own xh. It's very sad because we aren't in competition w/them...who really would want to be?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
