How could I forget being called a Nazi?? LOLLOL!!
Hey, we don't earn our angel wings as forum managers without successfully completing Boot Camp, now do we?
Every trigger we've got, gets truggered in the Message Board Process. That's the good thing about being called Nazis and PeaBrains and Control Freaks, isn't it?
We learn to get over ourselves.
But you're right Wahela, I wasn't laughing for quite awhile, that's for sure! I have learned something very important though:
Nothing but an honest degree of compassion for the suffering people are going through, could keep us doing what we do every day: Provide a Safe Place for people to connect with one another and heal. We do it for Free. And we do it just because...we care.
I know that's hard for distrusting people to understand. Like the X for example---always looking for an angle. Suspecting anyone who gave their time to others without a financial payback. Figured there had to be a reason even if he couldn't see it....YET. If he never found an ulterior motive no matter how hard he scrutinized someone's actions, he figured they were suckers.
But lordyhavemercy should we ask for compensation for our time. Then we were deemed to be mercenaries. It's the old Catch-22: Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
