Just a note of encouragement...

While you and I haven't always seen eye to eye on everything, I appreciate (and have appreciated) your candor. You have helped me consider many things that I might not have otherwise.

Thanks, Low

Me, too. Just would like to say that I have always appreciated your comments and support, ML. My impression of you in general is that your "style" is often straight and to the point - you often see through a lot of BS, and when you see something which doesn't ring true, you say so, up front. A lot of posters, especially WS, don't like being called on the carpet like this. A lot of BS don't like their own tendency to "wallow" being exposed, either. Also, on these boards, there are Christians of all denominations (myself included there) and non-Christians. We have all had some interesting religious discussions about what some of these concepts mean to various people.

IMO, it should be possible to discuss things respectfully on these boards without engaging in the kind of LB'ing which Harley frowns upon in intimate relationships - no name-calling, no disrespectful judgements, etc.

I have never found any of your posts offensive - sometimes very blunt, but never offensive.

Take care,
LIR

Melody -

I LOVE your posts, now that I have gotten used to you. You helped me more than you will ever know, getting me back into Plan B, keeping me from letting WH move back in while still with OW.

Your direct, call it like it is style is appreciated very much.
