[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737563, member: 13542"] You're exactly right Copa. I don't think we need to respond to words meant to harm, we all get enough of that. There's a difference in constructive criticism or caring observations meant to support....... and an attack on one's persona. Don't take it on Copa. Just to offer a different perspective, the following quote is how I see the folks who show up here.....who are beaten down and devastated and yet find the courage to reach out to others [U]for[/U] help..... and the compassion to reach out to others [U]to[/U] help. Theodore Roosevelt, Paris, France, 1910...... [I]The man in the arena[/I] [I]"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." You dare greatly Copa. As we all do here. Warriors of the heart. My kind of peeps.[/I] [/QUOTE]
