Yes, it's quite amazing. I read about the progress on the other forum and was filled w/such happiness for them. I do hope that everything works out for them.
On that note, I'm going to suggest that we all leave him alone, step back and watch this story unfold. Cld needs a safe place to post and his thread is the best place for him to post whatever is on his mind. Sometimes, we need to step back and allow the poster to post to his/her heart's content w/o us stepping in for a bit. We can learn so much more just by listening and observing in a case such as this.
As for his advice giving on other threads, well...then we will need to correct him, if the advice is not in alignment w/the DB practices of this forum. However, we should be doing this w/any poster that does this and not just Cld.
I want to leave you with something that has been dancing around in the back of my mind for quite some time...Have any of you given any thought that maybe Cld is doing the things he's doing to get a reaction out of us? This may all be part of his study to add to his "book". If he's studying MLC, who is to say that he isn't also doing a study on the LBS? Think about it. He knows exactly what he's doing w/the way he posts. Then again, our reactions may be feeding his ego the kibbles he needs to keep his spirits up. After all, it appears he thrives on debates. Debating/getting reactions could be his way of getting a "high". We just don't know. As I always say, step back, grab a seat on the curb and let's watch this show play out. Eventually all will be revealed.
We have devoted a lot of our time and attention to this poster and unfortunately, he's not interested in anything that we've had to say...so....let's turn our focus back on to those who need our assistance and leave Cld to his journaling here, on his thread for a while.
We can't help everyone and we need to accept that and move forward.
