There are many wonderful posters who NEVER attend gatherings, MANY. In fact MOST. I will never, ever meet Bogie Shooter in person, he wants always to remain anonymous. I have even asked if he would show up at my funeral. He never answered, but... well hope springs eternal.
Somehow the meaning of saying that the cruel posters and the bullying posters and those who give anonymous jabs and seem to never have anything to say that is supportive or kind never show up at gatherings got to be misunderstood. Some, any, all, frequently, never, most, a few....all qualifiers.
I think people who read this forum a lot can pretty much figure people out.
There are many times that brand new posters come on with a rant. That always makes me suspicious as to who they used to be. People can and do change or add screen names even though the moderators keep close watch.
Trouble makers WANT to cause trouble and the oil on troubled waters folks are always out in force.
This is an interesting forum to say the least, every day. I think it is better than a novel or a TV show or a movie or a book on human behavior..........., and I can read better than I can HEAR in gatherings.. My excuse.
