This is my last post on this thread. I'm hiding it after this, not because I'm having a tantrum or am angry or over sensitive or any of the other accusations levelled against me; rather that I really don't want to keep bumping this thread into Active.
I'd firstly like to refute the claims that I am "projecting" some kind of hatred towards those who have affairs. It's simply not true. In fact I was very kind to a poster in OTBT who had posted there as someone who was married and having an affair with a married man. So...
Secondly - maybe you could set up a thread in OTBT where you can discuss this subject without being "jumped on" by those who have been at the sharp end of affairs. You can chat away then to your hearts content without it appearing in Active Conversations and without it showing in Google. This is a friendly suggestion, I hope it is taken as such.
Thirdly - If you want this thread to stand as a support thread, I strongly suggest you pack it in with the personal attacks and questioning of WWIFN. She has the respect of many posters on this board, and you do yourselves no favours with the way you have behaved. Maybe if you read back you will come to that realisation. Maybe not.
Finally, "as I said, if the poster in question had had the guts to come and meet her critics" Why should she? As you say in your next sentence "We live in a free democratic society"
Indeed we do. However there are sanctions here at MNHQ, some of you have fallen foul of these (hence the deletions) and you would do well to remember that much as you feel entitled to your point of view; as do others, like me, who have felt that some of you have overstepped the mark and wandered into a territory that is at best bullying, at worse...well.
I understand that it is the default position for some to shout and scream and be abusive when confronted with something they find uncomfortable. That doesn't mean that you should give vent to those feelings.
