  I am aware, James, that you are going to openly disagree with anything I post. Just as I am aware that you will ignore when your friend is verbally abusive.

  Since you have chosen to ignore my question repeatedly, I'm sure you won't be offended if I ignore your's.

  Actually, EE posted the exact same question at the same time as I did.

  So far, Mrs. J is the only one to answer it.

  she could fairly be said to have an emotional hair trigger, and I think all of us on JWN should respect that and try not to deliberately push buttons.

  I've asked this before many times and it was ignored repeatedly:

  Please explain why the rest of us have to walk on eggshells around NDrew, but she can verbally abuse and we are all just supposed to take it.

  It is rare that anyone "deliberately pushes her buttons".

  She posts in an aggressive style and people defend themselves.

  Please explain why they are not allowed to defend themselves, while her verbal abuse is swept under the rug by your group?

  Physical violence and verbal abuse is a choice a person makes. And they alone are responsible for it.

  The little jibs and jabs, condescensions and assumptions are part of debate amongst imperfect people. If you can't take it, then don't post here.

  But the verbal abuse you have dished out, is far more than what has been dished out to you.

  And I am getting tired of you and your friends blaming your bad behaviour on everyone else.

  Palm - yes, once the PA is identified, they are to be studiously avoided.

  I'm a slow learner.

  Received a tongue lashing from the hubby last night about it, too.

  Think the lesson finally sunk in now!

  I've never been offended by New Chapter's style, either.

  I can't say I've been offended by alot here - I think it's just the give and take of debate and discussion. It's only the last while that suddenly it's an issue on this board. Suddenly everyone is pointing fingers, blaming, taking offense......I know the origin, just not sure how to stop it.

  Passive/Aggressives are the worst kind of people to have to deal with.

  I learned that on Dr. Phil.

  But I'm not sure how I got singled out earlier, kind of out of the blue, but I so appreciate you posting the above.

  Because of the post you made about treating believers like children.

  I don't think that was it.

  Every so often, there must be a meltdown to relieve pressure. Then all is well for a while. Gradually builds to another meltdown....Sweet release!!.....and all is well again.
