nella, I am sorry to see this post here. I for one, have enjoyed your input on the boards and would hate to see you go. Sometimes it can be very difficult to interact in this type of forum as there are so many different personalities here. I try very hard to take what I can use and throw away the rest. There are many times that others views don't coincide with mine, but that is ok. If we were all alike it would be a very boring place. I just try to keep in mind that there is a very fine line between assertion and aggression and I try very hard not to cross into the latter, regardless of how others conduct themselves. They are responsible for their actions....but I am responsible for my reactions. I hate to see when a thread disintegrates in the way yours did, as it derails the focus onto the exchange rather than the original topic. Sometimes the only real way to come out of it is to just say, "You know what, I respect your right to have that opinion....but I disagree". Then just leave it at that for sometimes all of the best intentions to try to make it "right", just tend to make things worse. I do really hope that you change your mind about leaving the forum, I will miss your perspective, your humor, your honesty and the thought provoking topics you seem to have a knack for bringing up.
