LHG yeah i agree with what you are saying! I do know the pattern now... One person who has recently come into my life was always texting and facebooking me. And when i saw her she would keep talking to the point i would lose a couple of hours! I do keep my distance, but i'm always polite and friendly. She makes me uncomfortable and is very intense! She is showing her true colours now though! It just seems to be i keep attracting these people into my life! I do have a lot of friends who are fabulous! Just wish the narcissists would back off and leave me alone! Lol

I won't go as far as saying people love me other than my familiy
but, I love being nice to people, It's good medicine for me mentally
and physically, I think we tend to show our darker sides on the board
because we can hide behind a screen, All in all yes I think people like me

The line I hear all the time is "you're not the person i thought you were" I try to be nice, fair and generous but eventually i disturb people by pushing them into conversations they don't want to have. i can't help it and they wonder why they didn't see this coming. My husband likes my conversation though because he's just as weird if not weirder than i am and so now that the jw's don't have to try to be nice to us anymore we're sort of friendless.

Terry, Over many years on the board you have made a huge and valuable contribution. I like your straight forward no nonsense approach to topics. I get the impression you are much the same in real life.
You are an outstanding example of how a board like this can be used to educate and benefit. I hope you never change.
We all go through changes over the years and at times I have allowed the bitterness I have felt to affect my judgement when debating with people. I like to think I have moved on and try to remember that I am dealing with real people and treat them the same as I would away from the board.

Terry, if people you know personally tend to like you, you're doing well! I think how you're perceived online doesn't much matter in comparison.

Most tend to like me, but not all.

Decent people like me, and the assholes have learned that I'm not to be trifled with...assertive, not aggressive.
