Thank you once again, Lee. I've done a lot of thinking about what happened here, and I know most of those who posted responses didn't mean to be mean spirited but were defending their ways of life. Had I been in their shoes, I might have done the same thing. That said, some
were mean spirited, claiming I was trying to get attention because of some psychological problem, vilifying me as someone who would scare people away. I've been a member of forums since the early 90s and have been a forum leader for a couple of popular forums, but I've never seen anything like what I experienced here. I may come back, but right now, because of the general close mindedness, unwillingness to accept that some people aren't like all people, and the personal "needs attention because of a psychological problem" attack from those acting as forum experts/leaders, I'll stay away for now. I'm only here, now, because of your sweet posts...because I wanted to thank you for your kindness and humanity.
