Let me at least be clear about something...I am/was NOT SMB's OM or tst's OW. As matter of fact, I am not and was not ANYONE's OM or OW. If any of you had any type of fear that I was your OM/OW, you can relax.

This place has literally been a life line for me, and I hate the thought of not being able to post here. But, yes, I have considered, and still consider it.

I am so sorry you felt that way. I have apologized before, but I will apologize again for constantly posting to you and tst even when you did not like it. I will respect your wishes and I won't post to you or tst any more, unless it's necessary (as they say, never say never), which I don't see the need anytime in the near future, if ever. So, I hope you can continue to post to get the help you need and to help/educate others who are in need of your and tst's assistance.

I believe that marriages are the foundation of a community, a society, a nation, and maybe even the advancing of human race. So, my purpose on MB is to learn, grow, assist, support, etc. as evident by my posts.

If I ever post an opinion, comment, or advice that's completely irrational, unreasonable, or unsound, please say so and state why you think so, instead of screaming "troll." Let's be civil and kind to each other.

Happy new year everyone!

p.s. This is meant to be a positive thread. Please don't post on this thread if you don't have anything positive or constructive to add.

JustUss is very kind and reasonable and we have resolved our issues. JustUss asked me some questions and I answered them all.

This thread has been unlocked. I will probably ignore any attack posted on this thread, so, let's keep this thread positive and productive.

I certainly trust Justuss' instincts. I am disappointed that you have not offered an apology to SMB and TST for your harassment of them(telling her that you are sorry she felt a certain way is not really an apology now is it?). But that is for you guys to work out. (apology noted)

So, BA..now that you are obviously going to continue being a part of our little community here, do you care to share your story about what brought you to MB?

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.

Let the mods do their job and don't tell others who and where and what to post with their style.

BA, let me explain something to you, pal. People come here in the DEPTHS OF DESPAIR. This is the REAL DEAL. This is not some playground for you to exercise your ego and get your jollies at the expense of vulnerable people.

If you have a shred of DECENCY, you will leave these people alone. Phoenix is so distraught and so depressed that she can barely get out of bed. She does not need your interference on her thread.

Thank you, Ozdreamer, for responding. It's okay, I'll be the bigger person and I won't respond to it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Why not show that you are first a HUMAN BEING and leave these people ALONE. That will be a demonstration of a "bigger person." That might even show you are HUMAN. In fact, I think a REAL demonstration of a "bigger person" would be to LEAVE after all the harm and dissension you have caused to some very vulnerable people.

Let's see if you really ARE the "bigger person" and leave this board alone.

As soon as I saw the ID, I knew.

Justuss, I appreciate you, I admire you, and after seeing you in action so long, I trust you. Wow, I really don't understand though. Hopefully it all will become clear at some point. Really, I trust you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mel, glad to see you all rested up.

So what is "don't tell others who and where and what to post with their style" except telling someone WHAT AND HOW TO POST???? *thud*

Mel's posting style is light years different than mine. I am a bush-beater, and she is not. But whether I agree with what she says (I usually do), or how she says it, I appreciate her willingness to act as a lightning rod to protect some of our vulnerable members as much as possible.

Ozdreamer, what is your story? What brought you to MB?

Okay, BA,

I will be the bigger person.

I apologize for calling you an idiot.

NOW

YOUR TURN.

You owe apologies to every member of this board.

Shall I enumerate the reasons? Or can I count on your morality and ethics and allow you to make the apology here and now, publicly, for all of us to see?

If you need help, please let us know. We ARE willing to extend understanding. This one last time. Like multiple d-days, BA, we only have so much patience.

I'm on my last "d-day" with you. There will be no other olive branch extended to you.

Interesting advice OZ...to bad you had to do the EXACT same thing in the very same post. Mel attacks a troll, you attack (constantly) a helpful advice giving and supportive compassionate veteran poster.

Good work. STIR THE POT SOME MORE.


BTW, OZ, that stupic Alexa chart you posted the other day didn't say ANYTHING near what you proclaimed it to say. It was based upon percentages and not an indication of ANY decline in usage whatsoever. MB traffic/hits likely have QUADRUPLED or more in actuality (seems that way to me) and still the percentage of total web traffic has gone down compared to the ENTIRE INTERNET. Even our new Wii game registers webhits/traffic by connecting to the internet...not to mention MB has to now compete with Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, myspace, facebook and Webkinz.

I apologize for using "schoolbus1." I should have given others more notice in advanced that it was me and my using "schoolbus1" was simply dis-tasteful.

This would be preferable, IMO.
