I read Trouble's last post as an apology, a realization that people are delicate and one must tread lightly. And Dinah seemed to actually be agreeing with alot of Trouble's points - they were coming from different places and crashed at the intersection of each of their own personal issues. It happens. Game, complication, PB addicition, whatever you want to call it, people over focus on this board and need/expect too much from it and then get let down. Learn from it and move on.Krazy Kat, as a trouble/Dinah fan I hate to see anyone taking sides and giving orders. I think that Dinah and trouble have both found a way to hurt each other and also a way to apologize and hopefully learn from their interactions. Trouble DOES have a strong personality around these here boards, but why not enjoy it? Why does everyone get so threatened by someone in love with this community? Trouble even admitted that it was kinda absorbing, and I am sure was working through it. And, Dinah has her own things to work out, and while trouble may exacerbate them, she didn't cause them and she can't be held responsible for their existence.
I think I have said this before, and BearedLady ala Ani, also pointed this out: we're an online community, and this type of relationship has limitations, no point in wanting, or needing more than "we" can give. I mean look at Lou - he's waiting for us in Tennessee for christ sakes!! So, let's just all relax and enjoy what we can give each other here, and find real live people for the things we can't.
