"Withholding potentially transformative information (including opinions) from people is a form of abuse" Only if they ask or want that information. Otherwise, it becomes stuffing it down women's throats. And we've both been here long enough to know the difference. Let's not kid ourselves.
What you have to offer is indeed a benefit of this board and you and I both know I've always supported your contributions. I think you are feeling bruised because you are making huge efforts to take a different approach, and have become more respectful of the process, I've always championed your voice, so not going to hash it out with you. If you're not guilty, you shouldn't feel burdened by my post. You in fact, were the better person yesterday, fully admit it.
Me? I am guilty of not adding to the board yesterday only taking away from it. Right or wrongly.
I apologize for quoting you in my post it has been noted.
10-7 Have a good weekend folks. My hands have been restricted to my entertainment chores...ask my GF. LOL!
