Nikki,
Firstly let me say that I'm sorry to read about your chronic severe pain, I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to live with that. And yes I admit to having been completely ignorant of it until just now - it's rare that I go to 'Health', I'm sorry.
We've never posted much beyond 'Books' and I've always enjoyed those conversations, but I have to admit to being appalled by your posts on this thread.
To me they smack of a deliberate malice which is both inexcusable and unforgivable.
Your use of Estella's name amongst other things, to make as you say 'a point' in the first was bad enough.
But then there are your comments in your reply to Larry. Very specific. Very deliberate.
And I will not dignify your remarks to A_K by repeating them.
But still, you did say; "You *know* it wasn't to hurt you." But surely you *knew* it would. How could it not? And not once, not twice, but three times did you do it. If that was not bad enough, then to have the temerity, gall, hide, I don't know what to call it to say in another post that you knew you'd only get a PBC and not a block for your comments. So what precisely are you saying? That there was premeditation. That you saw the chance to take a free swing and slipped in a kick or two while you were at it, and are now standing over her poking your tongue out. Nice.
I had chosen to remain silent on this thread because I didn't feel I could add anything that hadn't been said more intelligently and eloquently by others. And because the only person who could really help the community and the poster to understand and move forward (Bob) has remained largely silent as well. Apart from a suggested rephrase, that was not a rephrase but an entirely different statement.
Yet you chose to add nothing but insult and injury. To be deliberately uncivil, cruel and needlessly unkind to someone with no real right/way of reply. I can only ask why?
What's becoming of this place? Of all of us? If this is what being a 'Babbler' means, then that is not something I choose to be.
All of this leaves me frustrated, disappointed and deeply saddened.
Please take good care of yourself Estella
