  Having been the subject of one of those vicious threads over there recently, I know how you feel. And I've seen many of my dear friends trashed over there as well lately, along with many attempts to discredit decent people with anything they can think of -including outright lies.

  And Phantom is right and Hillary Step said something similar last week. A few weeks ago you could have shot a cannon through that place. There was noone there for them to talk to. So, go on the attack and they will come. Either the person being attacked will come or someone on their behalf and viola !-people to talk to or fight with. After all, just like small children with behavioral problems- bad attention is better than no attention at all.

  You are a kind and caring woman and one of the most respected on this board. And you enjoy things they cannot - true friendships and good family relationships. And it pisses them off -not about you but about them. It's their own self-hatred being projected outward- not anything real about anyone being attacked.

  For some, they are so obsessed with JWD and Simon because they can't post here anymore. It's their own doing caused by their own behavior but they choose not to see that. They say they don't care but then day and night reading the posts over here and cutting and pasting posts and commenting. No one would invest that kind of time on something they "don't care about"

  (((((((((hugs))))))))) to all of those who have been trashed over there. And ((Valis))-thank you!

  "this too shall pass" --- thing is, they'll end up having only each other to trash.

  Just when I think I have a handle on myself, something like this happens to gnaw away at the old self esteem. I am trying to not let them get to me and wish I didn't care what they think. I am not going to post there again.

  Please don't let it Mulan. While JWO seems mostly negative right now, realize that the attacks on you came from a couple of people who are truly clinically insane. I mean c'mon, I met you, I met Simon, and while you're both great people, anyone who actually fixates negatively on you (and that without even having met you), is wacked in the head; you're both "just folks". How silly would it be then, for you Mulan, to give any credence to their words? You simply must not take them seriously.

  Folks, this point is perhaps the most often missed thing online: The ability to type and convey thoughts, and even to do it well, is no indication of sanity.

  I PM'd you since I don't want my words fodder at some other board. Know that you are a beautiful person.

  Something I do about situations like that...I don't even go there and read what they have to say. I take away their POWER by refusing to read or hear it. If someone tries to email me or pm me with it, I tell them I'm not interested in hearing it.

  Considering what they're saying about you right now Tracy, I feel that is for the best. Stay away until you're healthier .

  Wonderful advice, Tracy. I am doing that now. I wish I had never seen it though.

  I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. If anyone gets it into their heads to try and test that by sending me anything....it will be returned unread....I promise you.

  I just don't get it...life is too short to waste with such things. Let's all go have some fun!

  I don't know what or where "the other board" is, and from the sounds of it, I won't go there. We're practically neighbors, and I still hope that I will be able to get together with you, Princess and your families. I can't imagine why any one would want to attack you.

  My own MO in situations like this is to refuse to be drawn into fights with my social inferiors. If you fight with them, or let them under your skin, you have elevated them to your level. Act like they're invisible and they "lose." (That's in quotes because they are the only ones that would care).

  I think that if you look at this a different way - posting something as negative as was said about you gave you the opportunity to see just how beautiful most people find you.

  Like most people, I learned those hard won lessons with many bumps and bruises. After trading bitter letters and phone calls with Doug's ex-wife who had made it her mission in life to harass us to the ends of the earth...I learned that all I was doing was feeding HER addiction. And guess what? After I started returning her mail un-opened....and blocking her phone calls...my life became peaceful and serene...and I no longer thought about her. THAT is what she hates more than anything...so I still win!
