We LOVE you guys.
I'm sure I don't understand all the dynamics going on here, but one thing I think I do see clearly is that if friction continues to grow and people continue to argue and to leave this board, the real winner is Satan.
Please, do not let that happen.
You guys, and this board, are SO SO valuable. I can't explain how much it has helped to have so many of you as a sounding board, as light through the WS-induced fog. I want you all to continue to feel safe and comfortable being here so that others can benefit as I have; and so that I can continue to grow with your help down these awful paths ahead. I think you have also all been in the place of needing vets on this board as well.
Is it possible to set a new tone today, and take the biggest unresolved issues just directly to the moderators? If certain people are worrisome, to put them on ignore or alert the mods? When I was new and someone posted something inappropriate to me, I was so thankful for the rush of replies I got to just disregard. I felt like people were watching my back in a very respectful way, and I was able to just throw the bad comment out (and some since.).
I don't want to start any kind of debate here; but maybe some people could just post their thanks and experience on this board, as a reminder of why it's so valuable, why YOUR PRESENCE here is so valuable - and why we cannot let Satan get his way by sustaining division.
****
I AM thankful for the support I got in stepping into filing and dark plan B. I am thankful that because of that advice and strength, I am able to not spiral up and down with WH now. That my mind is clearing.
I am thankful that some of your posts make me LAUGH! Sometimes seeing how ridiculous the babble/fog can be takes the sting out of it.
I am thankful for those that stick around who have RECOVERED (marriage OR personally). To people like me, you have walked on water. You are INVALUABLE.

I am thankful for those that stick around who have RECOVERED (marriage OR personally). To people like me, you have walked on water. You are INVALUABLE. I could not agree more. I for one would not be where I'm am now (Still sane) without the help of many of the vets on this board. You show true patience and love with those of us who are still struggling. THANK YOU

I am thankful for those that stick around who have RECOVERED (marriage OR personally). To people like me, you have walked on water. You are INVALUABLE. G-d gave us this website. G-d watches over all of us because we are his warriors and doing his work of his word. This board is a lifeline to me. I wouldn't have made it without you. I have NO ONE in my life that understand what I am going through or supports what I am trying to do. I'mnot strong enough to survive without the vets and their wisdom. My families life is dependent on me fighting my way through this and you are the armory that gives me the chance of coming through this. There is NO word or saying that could EVER truly express the debt of gratitude I feel for those of you on here who hold our hands and encourage us. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

I don't know what I would have done without this place. There are so many that I will be forever grateful to, trying to give a hand to others through such a terrible time is just a way to honor what they have done for me.

I also want to say thank you to everyone who has helped W2S and me. This site- its teachings and the support group within is truly a Godsend!!!
I also want to thank the Harleys for creating such an inspired, easy-to-follow, practical guide to help couples stay together and be happy. I wish everyone was able to read their teachings as a prerequisite to getting married!
Thank you all sooooo much!

Your input and progress is also encouraging. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Keep up the good work! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I wanted to thank those who do appreciate what they have learned here from MB. While we are just posting from our own experiences and POVs, it is nice to know when we are being helpful. U also made my day! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Hugz, L
