> I truly do not get your advise to "try to accept things that you cannot change" in this context, finding it incredibly demeaning and disturbing that any negative feedback distresses you so. It reveals a determination to be totally closed-minded.
I apologize (especially to IsoM), I did put that too strongly. Sorry if I disappointed.
> I don't understand how a man compassionate enough to set up a board to support people with depression, can lack such simple courtesy as to tell people basically to "shut up" regarding decisions they think you have handled badly. I also find it sort of tackless than when someone praises you for your administrative skills or your generousity, you write a thank you post back to them. I find it offensive because, and only because, you so discourage negative feedback and yet you shamelessly acknowledge positive feedback only.

I don't mean to discourage all negative feedback. I do, however, think that repeated negative feedback from the same people about the same issues not only takes us away from the primary goals of this site, but, realistically, is unlikely to change my mind (of stone :-).

I agree; that's why I also snuck in "or an exegesis". :-)
