Unless your name is Steve Harley you have NO RIGHT to tell anyone where they're allowed to post or what thread they're allowed to answer.

To be honest, what has been happening lately on the board has chilled me to the bone. In all my time on MB I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER seen such nastiness as I've seen lately.

Back when I joined MB, if you didn't like a poster or you didn't like what they said, you JUST DIDN'T GO NEAR THEIR POSTS.

This constant badgering and harrassment is just tiring and upsetting.

I can't support JJ so I just DON'T GO THERE. I concentrate on those I can help.

Anyway, THIS, as Bob said in his overly dramatic way, is the hill I die on.

This is the genuine one and I've left in a huff I don't know how many times.

No huff this time, just genuine sadness.

Kiwi,

I hope that you don't go. I have been helped by you and learned from you.

In general, I agree to what you said above... but in this case, I think Mr. W is right... not because MM is the only one that can help JJ... but to keep the insanity off of that thread and give the chance for JJ to be helped. I have supported helping JJ up to now... I'm not entirely sure anymore if that is right for this forum... but that is besides the point.

Mr. W. has seen what we have all seen going on the last few days. He recognizes the only reason that many who are sick and upset over JJ being here are not posting their feelings on the thread is out of respect for MM. I see this as JJ's chance to stay and receive some much needed help. Without this respect of that particular thread, it will probably get ugly and noone is helped...

I'm not happy with everything going on here either. But this is a very difficult situation. I see Mr. W's advice as being the best scenario for JJ to get any help.

I hope you stay there is a lot of good here. We will get past this and back to helping. So many marriages are saved here and you can help.

Look Jen...

You may not like it, but what Mr. W said to Jilly he knows to be true...That if not for respect for MM, that thread would have already been toast...Many of us are honoring MM's request to allow him the opportunity to help JJ...I'm sorry that you were not privy to that request, but that doesn't change that it occured and is being honored...

Further, Mr. W said that he understands that this is a public forum...He advised Jilly to practice restraint...Truly the best advice that he could give her knowing what he knows..I haven't seen you helping in that situation at all...Are you one of those people Jen that doesn't vote and then complains about the outcome of the election, etc.?

Mrs. W

Jen,

I know it's been bad in here the last month. I am trying to restore some peace in here. I am sorry to you and any/everyone else that doesn't agree or like the way I went about it. I will leave it at that.

Mr. Wondering
