[QUOTE="Steely, post: 248721, member: 3301"] Esther.......... I have responded before about feeling like we were bashing Stands. However, it just dawned on me today why we feel increasingly agitated over the requests for help - it is because we rarely see her respond to any of us when we need help. in my opinion, this board is about [I]giving[/I] - and then some taking. In my mind there is a ratio - I would not dream of single handedly posting over and over about my problems, if I did not respond to others. Truly that is friendship. And even though we are cyber pals - we are still friends. And friends cannot function in a healthy way without give and take. I just responded to Stands about my little revelation. [I] Perhaps you would feel the true spirit of the board and our soul - and we would see who you really are and your true spirit and soul - if you responded to others more often. [/I] Although I can empathize with her - and I agree with you we need to be loving and a soft place to land - we also have to understand that we are not just a dumping ground. We have to have some reciprocity in order to know who she truly is, and for us to know who she truly is. And by the way Witz.......... I have missed you......... And Esther don't stop posting!!!!
