[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 95337, member: 1967"] Janet, I hope you find what you are looking for and that Tony finally sees the light in prison. I do appreciate your replies to my threads over the years and your insight. I do have to take exception to the remark about the troll(s). I read all of standswithcourages threads and I do not think anyone was out of line. Part of being part of a board like this is that there will always be differences of opinions. I dont think being supportive necessarily equates with only saying what the person wants to hear or just trying to make them feel better. Sometimes it means a kick in the pants. When I first came to the board, kris and witzend often pointed out things that my difficult child was doing that were manipulative and deceitful. Sometimes their posts stung but they were right every time. Suz and Fran have always been straightforward and often provided a swift kick in the pants. Sometimes it was hard to read but it was what I needed when it came to finding the strength to use tough love. Other times they listened to me pour my heart out and provided a cyber shoulder to lean on. I think that Suz does a great job as moderator. Some of the threads in PE did become cumbersome and needed direction. Suz never told stands that she shouldnt post ~ just that a thread comes to a natural end and that stands should start a new one instead of going around in circles. I truly wish both you and Tony the best. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
