LOL wasblind... loves you to.. (i know when i'm beaten)
@doubting... I had the same thought... that some may benefit from knowing that even elders are trying to leave and not drinking the koolaid..I also appreciate your wise words and council.. as I say, this started as a petty gonna prove my point thread.... typically not my thing but that attacks felt personal, even though as you say not all were.. it was also a bad moment when I was beating myself up and the feelings linger a bit.. reread the thread and it all comes back.. book gets released that I know the same people who mocked will run to read.. not really my thing but this one just felt deeply personal.. I'm glad that others were kind and aware enough to bring the thread (and me) back to a more centered place...
Perhaps we could stop posting on this one and let it die..
