Oh I know.. and I wasn't trying to single your post out or you.. it just seemed like a good time to mention that Greenlover and I were talking. I really think she's trying to understand us. That's a heck of a lot more than those others will do. I cannot expect her to embrace our views 100% and there will be disagreements sure but I think we have all come a long way. I apologize if it seemed like I was picking on you.

and before anyone takes my above comment wrong I am not talking about anyone here. Just to clarify.

Completely understand and respect your point!!! :D
I guess each person handles thier situations differently. I can't say for sure of course why she does this, but maybe she's hoping for complete acceptance within her group and she feels that if she's throwing punches at us, it will earn her acceptance with them. (Kind of like how sororities make you do weird crap just to be one of "them".) Now, you might ask why she wants to be accepted by the same people who have abused her....well that all has to do with that abused mentality. I'm no shrink, but I speak from my own personal experience. It's a sickness really...siding with the abuser. I guess I was just lucky to finally wake up one day and go "What the he!! was I thinking?"
I don't mean to be argumentative... it's just in my nature ;-) Thing is, she's doing the same thing to the "e-cig" people as the rest of them - and recently. So if she's so affronted over the way they treat or have treated her, why is she engaging in the same behavior? My only point was... I don't really need to be preached to about "being nice" by someone who cannot practice what sjhe preaches. There's a lot of that going on over there :rollyeyes: ;)

I thought I knew who flaming was, but I just searched and I don't think it was who I thought it was. :D
Well Nate I don't know there's a few of us over there that I don't know who they are there yet. I know Snoopy, and Fonedude, Curvy, Trbo, Deadcat2, Kristin ,John... I still don't know who flaming is for one.

Of course I cannot forget that. You may be right but I'm trying to do the right thing here.

My humble opinion on this. Consider the source. Hot - cold - hot - cold - friendly etc etc etc

I posted many many pages ago that my feelings have gone from anger to happiness to sadness over the last week. That may apply to her also. And many other people. That's how I'm trying to look at all this. And for some there may be no hope. So be it. Not my problem.

CurvyChick. I agree. I think the world of all of you and believe I have made some friends here. I consider you all part of my extended family. I could not have accidentally found a better bunch of folks than you crazy guys and I don't regret a minute of that.

I don't think any of this will divide us. We are not like that core group that loves to spit venom at people. I am grateful for you all and look forward to know all of you better as time passes.
