Great post, Steve! You are always such a positive presence here and bring a lot of optimism and enthusiasm. The input I have received from you on my own thread has been incredibly encouraging and, though I don't know you in real life, I really think you have a gift for seeing the bright side and bringing positive energy.
Not everyone has that style, but it certainly doesn't mean that they aren't posting with great wisdom and the best of intentions. Personally, I love receiving a balance of input from everyone in this community. The 2x4s are 100% necessary for getting rid of the tunnel vision and waking us up to reality. They are vital for looking at the situation objectively and being able to grow from it. They might sting, but like you said, they should be getting you to really think about your own faults and how to improve. If you can't do that, this board probably won't be able to help much and you probably won't be able to do what you need to save your M, which is the reason we are all here!
I hope anyone who feels they have been attacked here, or got offended because they got hit with a 2x4, reads your post and benefits.
