As somewhat of a newbie, one of the things that drew me to this website was the amount of comradeship and support that we all offered each other.
The majority of us are going about our daily lives, dealing with continuous stress and conflict. Serious legal battles involving children and property. Most of us have already been greatly humiliated, rejected, and betrayed. Many of us have been abused, gas lighted, and are on plenty of anti depressants, and I have read of some who admit to having been suicidal.
What I'm trying to say, is that there really is no need to add conflict to a posters life by insulting the way someone offers advise. We are all trying to help in our own way and we are all having a hard enough time as it is. If someone made fun of my postings I would feel embarrassed and would be reluctant to post freely.
Georgia Bulldogs, your advice is so good that it stands alone. It is honest and different, and Very straight forward. Advise that many of us need. There is no need to put down another's advice or way of expressions for your advise to stand out. Vanilla has great advise too. Some like the writing of Toni Morrison, others like Cormac Mccarthy. Most appreciate both, despite how different.
As someone who was raised without any type of religion or spirituality when someone says something to me like "Jesus loves you" I know they are saying it from a good place and acknowledge the Christian Religion's emphasis on family values. But imagine if I said that a comment like that was goodly gook? Even if I was thinking it? Maybe in some situations and on some boards, but not one like this.
Just my 2 cents. I want everyone to feel like there input is important even if it's different
