Why so militant?

I agree with you that calling someone immature, irrelevent or weak is an attack on said person. But that's not what I said. I said attacking the person is immature, irrelevent and weak.
The Main Board should be safe for all kinds of opinions without personal attack- and that includes yours.
I am sorry if you feel that I am attacking you. Perhaps you could point out where I have fostered any personal attacks.
Therapist heal thyself quote is a personal opinion and in no way an attack on you or any other therapist.
Everything I have posted is just my opinion.

OH moderators do the deciding.
I have never said you attacked me. I am speaking in general about the personal attacks often used on this board, and actually used in this thread, which I generally choose not to respond to because they are in my opinion irrelevant, immature, and weak.

Attacking someone and calling them names and assuming negative attributes about them when you don't even know them, and violating TOS- that's something else again. Talk about school children...

The years of experience do not seem to lend much credibility except to the select few who are in agreement anyway.
My character is a boring topic by now, and irrelevant. If forum nannies weren't needed, they wouldn't show up.
Please consider, though I know it is an impossible request, making the Main Board a safe place to be. Not rainbows and roses, just plain old safe. Please consider the impact of your postings.

For the most part, you can go along fine and forget it is there, and then suddenly, you bump it, put something cold/hot/whatever on it and WOW the pain!
You, Anne, are my blister. I go along comfortably, reading this board, learning, enjoying the varied personalities. Sharing some laughs, some tears, shaking my head on occasion, growing a little indignant but by and large, enjoying the experience.
And then an otherwise bland post shows up and you chime in. WOW the pain! You instigate dissension. You antagonize. You bait. All the while holding yourself up as some kind of Mother Theresa of this board. Unlike that lady, however, you are smug and condescending. You insist we play by your rules and you have somehow managed to find a way to punish those who do not.
I may not post a great deal but i pay attention. You are after making this Board over in your image and, Sweetie, you just aren't all that. I don't want to be you. I don't want Twyla, Chad, Caprice, Diana or anyone else to be you. Quite frankly, there are times when I read a thread you play a part in and I would like you not to be you but that isn't my choice.
You are you and you may have a great deal to contribute to this board, IF and ONLY IF, you can climb down off your self-constructed pedastal and be a member of this place not the Lord and Master.
I don't need or want your 'protection', your censorship or your sanctimonious nattering. We are adults here.
Thank you. That is all I needed to say.
I remain naught but a
Ragamuffin.
Did you ever hear of the defense mechanism called projection? I suggest you all look it up.
If you don't like what I have to say, please stay on your DS board with your friends or block me. That is the invitation you all extend to people who don't agree with you. I extend the same to you.
