  Junction-Guy,

  If nothing else, can you not at least give him some validation that he indeed was trying to befriend you. I am not sure that many posters have ever given me the time and attention that nvr has offered you.

  You may not like one thing about him but its quite evident, in his way, he cared about you and your welfare. Right or wrong, he did do that.

  To keep peace, I am going to take it that you are spreading your wings, but there is no sense in alienating and making enemies in doing so.

  Purplesofa, I believe you are right to a point. But calling people names, insinuating they are naive, gullible, and what have you, does not do well to win brownie points, especially since he does not know me personally and has no clue about my personality and how I think. I try to reserve those kind of judgement call to people I know and have met in person.
  
  
  By the way, you have received alot of attention on here.

  No kidding. That's why when I do something to help someone else, I decide up front that I'm considering it a loss. I don't expect to receive anything for it.

  I did send one person here at JWD, someone who everyone here knows and loves, a bit of dough when I thought she was suffering. And you know what, she sent it back with a letter explaining that I had misunderstood her situation. She's a real class act. The cool part about this is that it happened at the same time I had my bank account seized by the hospital I owe for that suicide attempt I had a couple years ago. I couldn't afford it, but I did it because I thought it was the right thing to do and the money came back to me.

  So, while it's frustrating to me when I do something kind to someone, whether online or in person, and they don't seem to really care, I do know that both here and in my real life, there are many, many people who do notice when you do something for them and do take the time to show appreciation.

  J-G,

  Naive and gullible are not names, they are descriptions. You are very sensitive for a boorish individual.
