Resilient -


Careful what you ask for, as my mom used to tell me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will assume the last couple of posts were an inside joke.

Anyhooo, I hope my point is clear. I am not bashing MB, just keep in mind it's not what you say but how you say it.

guilty

Agreed, JM. But understand, I apply (as do many here) the principle of SW-SW-SW. What is that? it is:

"Some will - Some wont - So what"

The issue is to help those that can be and will be helped. I dont post to many threads because I know that they either arent serious or are just plain stuck and dont want to do what is required. I triage! I look for those that are willing, that can be helped.

Again, I think we agree. I have posted to this thread because I am concerned that some people (newbies) may see something like this and think that they wont be received.

Here is an analogy. Have you ever noticed the difference between, let's say, a pediatric nurse and an emergency room nurse? Ever notice the difference in their bedside manner?

For the ER nurse, the "niceties" go out the window. She isnt dealing with strep throat or a broken arm. She is most often dealing with life and death.

So, she isnt going to calmly and nicely talk you thryu what is going on and what you need. She is going to look you straight in the eye and say "the doctor believes that leg needs to be amputated right now."

Same thing goes here. For those that are stuck in an ongoing affair, it is an EMERGENCY! For many BSs, they are free falling. They dont need to politely sit in the waiting room, as they bleed to death! They need to be put on that gurney and that nurse and doctor get busy. so what they have a $60 pair of pants? The "nice" thign to do would be to remove it before repairing the open gash in a leg that is causing a guy to bleed to death. Instead, she grabs a pair of scissors and rips those pants off.

I think this is why the vets here come off the way they do. it is like the ER nurse. They care...they really do. but they are in a battle to save lives...and there is little time for the niceties of life.

Same goes, many times, with those that come here.

Yes, Neak. I remember CinSug.

CinSug was a troll poster a while back who had several aliases that admitted she had no reason for being on MB other than for her own Info-tainment.

She'd have one alias defend her other aliases so it appeared there was some kind of majority consensus on any one of her many originated inflamatory troll-type posts.

This is an issue of TONE...You cannot decide for others how they should post, that is up to them, just as how you post is up to you...Wouldn't you agree?

Uh oh...Mrs. W is here!

That was a very confusing and dark time here on MB. Luckily the mods <cough> <cough> can compare IPs.

Oh, I know about that!!

what I wasnt gonna touch was the Whack-a-doodle-doo.

Maybe Pep can help with that?!?!

Awestruck: I think her name, and she appears!

Hi Mrs. W! *waving*



It is worthy of note that even CS was welcomed, at first, in spite of the inflammatory nature of her posts right from the beginning.

*****This is an issue of TONE...You cannot decide for others how they should post, that is up to them, just as how you post is up to you...Wouldn't you agree?

I agree that I cannot decide how people post. Actually after this thread I have a better understanding of how some people take their "tone" they way they do.

However, I am just offering a suggestion to some. They have free will to take it under consideration or think I am full of it or implement it.

Again since I am not a regular on this board or depend on it for my marriage, it is not going to impact me.

I did not post to offend or stir up a mess of hornets. It is just something that I felt when reading the posts over the past few months, and it bothered me enough to post today. My point may or may not be valid. That is not up to me to decide.

I understand your point too. It would be sadly ironic if my post ran posters off.
Hopefully your points and balance will not let that happen.

I have to say that I am new here also and I have appreciated ALL the advice I have received. Like was said earlier I feel like my marriage is bleeding to death and I need to know how to stop it before its too late. Even after all my husband has said -which I have felt so much better knowing that he's not the only one that says these things-I still love him and want my marriage to survive.

The advice may not be the easiest thing to take but these people have been through this and survived which some days I dont think I am going to.

I am thankful for everything I have learned and am continuing to learn here.
