First, I want to say to Windy that her open letter was AWESOME. What happened to such a beautiful and useful letter is sickening to say the least. But it was our member's own fault, IMO. We had to engage that bully. Some people were really trying to just get him to leave but others were simply trying to prove him wrong. That is a battle that always ends the same way here ~ a closed thread. And sometimes, those threads are extremely important for us boozers. There is one poster here that is obviously very passionate about the bac issue, but sometimes causes much more harm than good by constantly trying to prove himself right and the bully wrong. I have seen others tell him "to just leave it alone" more than once.
Anyone here ever heard of the "Love and Logic" parenting approach by Jim Fay? It works on adults too, who are trying to "hook" you into an argument, every time. One liners like "I know", "Nice try","Thanks for sharing", or "I bet it feels that way" are the responses you give them. But you have have to be consistent and repeat the same one liner for every response they give you. Use it in the "broken record "form". Try it sometime. But, better yet, on this forum, you have a great option if you can't resist engaging the poster...... the ignore button.
Please everybody, let's not let what happened to Windy's beautiful, therapeutic letter ever happen again. Choose peace and love and peace and love will choose you. (corny, I know, but true!)
