To some of you, nobody asked you to give money or even for 1 minute of your time. But in the time you spent publicly bashā¦excuse me, āquestioning,ā you could have simply offered ideas or suggestions. No cost to you, no additional harm to the victim. Those who want to help more arenāt forced to take anything face value ā she posted her phone and they could do their own private verification without the public bashiā¦er, inquest. Believe it or not, most people in a position to help are grownups and donāt need your āprotectionā from possible scam artistsā¦[/QUOTE]
Hear, here!
I kept wondering how would I feel, if I was in desperate straights, opening up an incredibly vulnerable spot, finally managing to get to a library to get online, andā¦those callous, hurtful messages were waiting. What would it have done to my stomach? My heart?
Iād say Chanter was pretty much justified in her all caps message.
Yes, there was some good stuff posted, and I donāt know about anybody else, but a single harsh comment always seems to outweigh any good ones. Hands down.
So those of you that asked, for altruistic reasons, maybe you should spare a thought about how your posts could be perceived, and change your wording so thereās no room for misinterpretation in the future. And those of you that felt it necessary to tear away, or boast about the great situation you have in life, or how qualified you are to judge, go take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you needed to do that.
To all the COTHers that rose to the occasion. MWAH! I salute you. You make my heart feel good.
And to Chanter-- Hereās hoping your situation is better than it was, and things will work out for the best. ((((HUG)))) sending white light and prayers your way
