Mrs Doug, my thoughts are with you and your husband during this time. I "got out of the house" this week to have lunch at Bonefish with three wonderful women, all of us are caretakers for four incredible men.

Hi Madelaine Aimee,
You said it to “them” so much kinder than I did yesterday.
Yesterday, I had finally had it and went after one of these “types” in no uncertain terms. I was direct and perfectly clear. I took a targeted hit on one poster in particular because the name is always the same and is connected, almost always, to miserable posts — time after time after time.
Well, I got in trouble. I knew I would. The moderator had no choice but to delete my post. I had quoted and told one of the usuals exactly what I thought of the predictable, mean “contributions” I had been seeing for a long time — from that poster.
Yeah, I got into trouble, but it sure felt good — while it lasted — which was not very long. I just wish said poster would have seen it, but it was a fast delete. (sigh)
I never do things like that, but this thread just kept getting meaner and meaner.
I know there are people who seem to have a need to try to make themselves feel better by trying to make others feel worse. It’s their problem. I know. But there are so many now.
Maybe I should cut them some slack and figure they could not possibly be reading the entire thread to see the whole story. I think we have posters who must just lurk around waiting to pounce because we never see much else from them. I think they probably read the first post and then go for it — trying to make themselves feel better, I guess. But they sure are looking even more like arses as this thread evolves to tell the whole story. And if they did read it all— well, that’s a different page in the DSM.
(And, jebartle, you have no reason to apologize. You are plenty classy in many ways. I can tell from your words.)
