Wow, ML, it would be a shame if others thought you typified Christian behavior.

Myrta, thank you for the input. I KNOW I'm flawed and am working on that. Apparently, many others think they're perfect. But Myrta, you are one who comes to mind when thinking about helpful people.

You know I posted to S today in hopes that she would stop attacking Mel and listen...

I also said the same thing to her as Cy...about her becoming a staunch supporter of MB, but the attacking went right on against Mel and others.

So I get a clearly different view of this one and one of the others posting.

When someone comes on and starts saying things like bitter BS's, and turning a plea to stop attacking the people who are posting to her into a joke...well of course the rest are going to get more than a little riled up.

I learned a hard lesson in trolls when a few of the longtime posters started fighting amongst each other over a "troll" and left.

They were no longer around to help those that really wanted and needed their help.

Guess for me, I have changed because of that horrible "troll person's" thread.

And that is exactly who she reminds me of, not of those like Myrta.

Myrta, the difference is that you stayed and listened. I wish that others would do that also instead of arguing constantly they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. Congrats to you and yours for your recovery.

No, on the contrary, ML began attacking me from the very beginning...I'm merely returning the favor. I won't stop posting

Nope. You were not attacked. That is a lie.

Yes, I did stayed and listened to the "mean" posts and the ones that I liked. I learned from both the BS and the FWWs here. Is not that the WS feel they are right, is that we want to defend our "position", not to look too bad to ourselves <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. We know what we did was HORRIBLE wrong, but we dont want to admit it too quickly.

Thank you!

Its clear she is not here to learn. She is too busy passing out bad advice.

Myrta,

BINGO! You have just hit the nail on the head. If only sfjaj could understand this.

Congratulations to you and your DH. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If Mrs. W, Pep and ML are the three blind mice then why are they in happily recovered marriages?

s,

I am not a BS, I came here as an unmarried OW seeking a way back into the light. I was in pain so bad it'd knock the socks right off ya.

I had a part of destroying another womans marriage and my own life, and caused my little girl a home where peace no longer lived, let alone happiness.

I wanted more than life to learn what these people know, and how to get there.

And I found that here...no bitterness, no attacks, no hypocracy, no self-ritiousness.

So why I wonder do we see things so differently here? Through what difference of eyes are we looking?

I wonder.

I don't know...ML, for one, has spouted nothing but hatred since I arrived. Ironic from a christian, isn't it? Of course, she only professes to be one; that doesn't make her one. Her words and actions speak volumes
