What's wrong with some of you people??

[Whistler]

You know, I just read a post from "IZZY" where she said Whistler is gone since I called him a T.

I do work full time. I have tried to come here for support- I have tried to correct my "not responding back" enough-

You're right- I'm gone.  I hope you feel good IZZY.  Do you by chance know my wife???

Bye!!

Meow.... Hiss.. Hiss..

You must feel so smug to have run off a newbie poster.

Amused amuses me as I am not amused about someone leaving. Smug? I have never been smug in my lfe! I've had a life of hell and I don't need phony people thinking I was born with Narcissism 101 clutched in my little hand.

Whistler,
  Don't let ANYONE run you off, Friend. Take it from me.If you read my past posts, you will see that I can say it '"with authority"(lol)
  Whistler, you need us and we need you. You will find that the Board has good and bad aspects ,like all groups and all people.
  You are in for the fight of your life, Friend.
  Come back and ley bygones be bygones. Izzy wants you back, too(lol)        Warmly,    Ami

Izzy - I have utmost respect and admiration for you and so I find myself quite surprised, perhaps shocked at your reaction to Whistler.  I see no evidence that he is other than what he has presented himself to be.  Do you have other evidence or has his presence triggered you somehow?  Have I missed something that you gleaned?

I am surprised and a little disappointed that you would take it on yourself to belittle a poster and rejoice in a post about their departure - a departure pushed by unkind reception.  From his descriptions his wife clearly appears to fit the category of N.   I am always refreshed to find men posting here.  There are far too few and I welcome their presence as a tilt towards balance.

Perhaps I have missed something and my opinion is based on incomplete information, but it seems to me the correct way to deal with someone who seems insincere or inappropriate would be through conversation with Dr. Grossman and allow him to determine that someone is here inappropriately.

I found your post to be quite jarring and it seemed so out of character for you.

Heavens! T gave up after just 18 posts?
Never even thanked me for apologizing
Ah well Easy come. Easy go!

I plan to PM Whistler to express my regret over the treatment he received here.  Perhaps I am blind to something or am naive.  If so please set me straight.  I am sending a PM because he states that he is gone and a PM will be sent to his registered e-mail address.  I am putting this in my post because I simply want to be above board and straight forward.

Thank you.

Hi GS

I don't know how the talk of trolls began but suddenly there was a lot and Dr. G. verified that there was one on board.

I overreacted with the new and or anonymous posts takiing place and became somewhat paranoid. I wouldn't  like to be humiliated by one.

Whistler appeared suddenly and had 3 separate posts that just felt strange to me.

I posted to him with an off-hand mention of T.

He posted back asking if I was accusing him and I then apologized.

He didn't respond to the apology and didn't post for a while.

Then he suddenly started this post, which was in a tone that he never read my apology.

No it is is not like me to do what I did, but when he quit I expected it was an easy way out for him--then this thread kept getting longer

I did post to amused

Amused amuses me as I am not amused about someone leaving.

Hey, Izzy...
you don't have to be perfect.

love you,

Whistler, everybody has tried to help you here.
Have you considered the possibility that you like to use any opportunity to pose as a victim?
Have you consider the possibility that you did something similar to your wife?
Just food for thought. I am not saying that that is the case, just something to think about.
God bless you. You are in my prayers.

[Gaining Strength]

Izzy, I think I understand your explanation. 

I don't think he fully understood the most effective way to participate.  But many newbies could use a little help figuring out the ropes.  I see how your response was triggered by paranoia.  It is unfortunate.  I still think that reporting the problem to Grossman might be the most appropriate way to react.

Thanks for your response. - GS

[Whistler]

I appreciate all of your responses- Maybe this is just too soon for me to be  part of this type of forum.  For now, best wishes to all of you.

I am sad, Whistler, that you are not staying. The decision does not have to be in "stone", you know. People come and go all the time ,and there is nothing to feel 'funny" about if you come back.
  I am heartsick that you were hurt . I know when I was new, I was very sensitive. My heart used to beat fast , when I wrote a thread .
  After you stay for a while, you naigate your way . .This group is like life.. Maybe,all groups are. There is much good ,but painful things happen to many  of us here.However, they would happen in "any "setting with people. All settings have people(lol)
 Consider coming back.! I thought that you had so much to offer  and vice---versa.Many, many people say goodbye and are back shortly after. There is NOTHING  to be ashamed of. The board has a combined intelligence and wisdom that can't be found anywhere(IMO).           Warmly   Ami
