[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 96974, member: 3579"] Deb/DDD: I can't speak for others, but I do know that my writing style is intentionally cultivated to invite discourse. I've blogged and posted on other message boards for many years, and I think that when I post the experience of having on-line dialogs shows, and it's easy to respond. I've intentionally NOT posted for many weeks because of this, because I don't want to detract from the others here who have the same (or more) amount of need as I do. Frankly, until McWeedy loaded up the double-aught and took out his right foot two weeks ago, there wasn't much left I could do anyway, so posting wouldn't have helped other than as an outlet for my frustration. I could have related the wonderful birthday I had with him (NOT), that he's being expelled from the entire district two months before graduation, or the fact that he has to have a CAT scan of his lungs because the radiologist working on his pneumonia diagnosis found something "disturbing", or many other things. But I didn't, precisely because of the topic of this thread. Why? There's nothing for me to do about it, and posting about it doesn't help much any more. I'm not trying to be sarcastically humble, but I've realized that "blogging" about McWeedy here used to be cathartic for me, and maybe better than Luke and Laura for others to read, but in many ways it detracts and distracts from the overall board. So I've backed off. Maybe it's just me and a few others, but that's the best I can offer as an explanation. Humbly yours, Mikey [/QUOTE]
