Ace: People are getting the wrong idea about Australia and what it means 2 me. It's more like the over-the-rainbow Oz, or Never - never - land, than an ac2al place. One thing "my" Australia has, though (like James Garner's Australia in Support Your Local Sheriff), is NO INTERNET ACCESS, thus enabling me 2 wean my sorry beautox off these nutjob boards! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> -ol' 2long exit, stage left (Snagglepuss, personal communication)

atleast over a hundred of my posts are about what a crack house I think Texas is... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> No wonder you were edited! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> You were trash talkin TEXAS!! Flat headed yankee gal! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I also strongly dislike the term "oldtimers" and "vets." One's longevity, # of posts, etc., etc, on this board is irrelevant, IMO. What matters is the CONTENT. I know some who have been here for 3 months who know more about MB than someone who has been here for 5 years. There is no seniority, IMO, and I cringe at this glorification of oldtimers and vets. To me, that does nothing to guage the merit of someones post. Sure, someone who has been here for 5 years is likely to know more than someone who been here 2 days, but that is no guarantee of anything.

I used 2 enjoy helping others, when I ac2ally believed it mattered 2 them what I said. But worse, I recognize my own rubbernecking tendency 2 post on those counterproductive argument threads. -ol' 2long

Labels aren't needed. Reputation will separate the wheat from the chaff. Time spent here really means nothing, it's the quality of what's said that is important.
FH mentioned a situation where K was being attacked(I did read that thread). My first response(successfully throttled) was to leap into the fray, but I realized that K could defend himself when, and more importantly, if, it was needed.
I saw another situation where a more contemporary "vet" wanted to make sure a poster knew that she/he was offering an approach that was contrary to advice given by K and JL, who were offering help right out of the MB handbook, and that both opinions should be given equal weight. What a crock! Again, rather than fan any flames, I chose to bite my tongue.
I personally believe that the straight-up MB cookbook will not work for many couples unless it's tweaked in some way. However, I will not advise someone to deviate from MB directions from any position of authority. I am no authority on curing the ills brought on by infidelity and I won't portray myself as such. There are trained professionals who do this as a vocation and I will leave it in their capable hands.
JL, K, Mel and others give advice right out of the MB playbook. On the few occasions where they deviate, they say so and why. None of these people I refer to have "white knight syndrome" and are modest when praised.
The only label that truly applies to them is "caring, knowledgeable, quality people".

Ark, Please provide links to the above mentioned posts. I'm sure Arkie will be happy to provide that, as soon as you provide an enthusiatically signed POJA from your wife. ETA: I'm sorry if you're divorced Chrisner, I wasn't sure. So instead, it needs to be a note from your mom. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Jo

Next question, How do we successfully eradicate the use of labels, period? I vote that we change OUR OWN behavior as we see fit. That is all we have control over. We don't have the power to eradicate anything in others.

And the funniest thing in the whole world was Ark's 10 subsequent posts on the pro's and con's of scotch tape vs super glue to hold the pasties in place while dancing the hubbalua. Where are you people from any way? Way too funny!
