For crying out loud people this board is getting pityful. Did you ever hear the word ignore? If you don`t like what some else is doing or saying let the mods take care of it. Its your choice your keyboard. The more you speak to someone YOU THINK is a TROLL the more they like it. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE

Do you mean that she might be someone else's OW and just randomly picked us to "pick on"? I am under the impression that she is an equal opportunity abuser. However, it does seem odd that she asked for your e-mail address. But honestly, I don't think she has any rhyme or reason to who she picks. I think WhoMe is right in that she is probably a bitter BS whose H left her, or an OW. And I believe she uses different names to do this with.
Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.

JustUss, please delete this post. I've learned my lesson not to start a post to seek help again for another, I'll just post on sinkingin's post directly.
Thanks.

My bet is that her agenda is to disrupt things here as much as possible to divert folks from working on recovery. Precisely her agenda and she does it wearing sheep's clothing.

The more you speak to someone YOU THINK is a TROLL the more they like it. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE This is true. But, we cannot put her on ignore because of the damage she may cause with her advice to the newbies. However, I will make a concious effort to ignore her and concentrate on just the damage control.

I have often thought that Best Advisor may be the OW in SMBs story but did not want to say anything to upset SMB because she is already dealing with enough without this added to it but I have thoought that from the beginning (sorry SMB)

"For crying out loud people this board is getting pityful. Did you ever hear the word ignore? If you don`t like what some else is doing or saying let the mods take care of it. Its your choice your keyboard."
Aptiva, IMHO this is exactly what YOU should do in regards to your own dislike of what people post in response to the trolls.
"The more you speak to someone YOU THINK is a TROLL the more they like it. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE"
This is what the vast majority of the posters here do yet the trolls persist. There is no evidence that simply ignoring the trolls will make them go away and/or that their motive is to get attention. What you fail to realize is that they can and do keep posting harmful advice to newcomers even, ESPECIALLY, if they are ignored.
Oh, BTW coddling them and defending them is a way of giving them attention too, if you believe that attention-seeking is ALL they have as an agenda. AND if you believe that feud-starting is ALL they are up to, then choosing to argue with those who have the courage to confront the trolls is giving them what they want too.
So if you truly believe the ONLY harm they can do is to get attention and start feuds, then the only logical course of action for YOU, based on YOUR presumptions of what they're up to, is for you to ignore BOTH the trolls and the troll-discussion theads yourself. Only if you ignore the fact that these trolls pretend to newcomers that their bad advice is the 'best advice', does your presumption that they are just a minor nuisance in seek of some sport or attention, does your choice of how to deal with them make sense.

"I've learned my lesson"
No you haven't. We have been consistently telling you what you need to change in order to be of real help here instead of endangering newwcomers with your bad advice. You haven't made any positive changes.
"not to start a post to seek help again for another,"
You didn't start this post to help anyone. You were just playing the latest version of the troll game - pretending to be the ONLY one responding to a newcomer even though the evidence proves otherwise. The poster you claimed was being ignored has a couple of hundred responses in the short time she's been posting here. She had been absent from here for a month during which time several people posted to her. When she came back this morning most people were at work so you hurried and posted to her several times so you could claim you were the ONLY one helpign her. Guess it's time for you trolls to coem up with another tactic, huh?
"I'll just post on sinkingin's post directly."
This just proves that you haven't learned a thing yet because until you explain to us why you even think you have any knowledge or experience of what people come here to recover from and/or learn from hte info here and actually start advising people consistently with MB principles, it is wrong for you to pretend to newcomers that you can offer the 'best advice'.

Sexymamabear, if you want to find out how much the OW can find out about you, google your various bits of info. And if you put a dash between the words, it will search for that exact combination.
For example, if you did a search for Mary Smith, it would pull up all documents that contained "Mary" and "Smith". But if you put Mary-Smith, then it will only search for those words together, in that order.
You can google your email address(es), Yahoo (or whatever) ID, name, address, whatever. Same for her info. Surprising what can turn up, but you may be able to set your mind at ease as to what OW may or may not know. Probably she would not be able to find you here.
'Our' OW could find me here very easily with that search method, since I have not been incognito for some time. It doesn't bother me, since after all this time the only thing that would happen is I would use the "ignore" feature for the first time. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Just keep on keepin' on. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

And your post aptiva aids in doing that how exactly? Tell you what - you worry about what and how you post and if everyone did that there would be none of these threads. How does that sound?
