Re: David C, IS this the post you meant???? I see you still need forgiving. This was a reply to David's

Do you know,Marlene, I could have given you such a smart remark, but I'm not going to. You've read this forum long enough that you know who I am, and what I believe. I don't think that I could convince you that I was right, and I'm sure that you can't convince me. I have a lot of friends on this board and others, and they are on both sides of the debate. I'm a people person, too, and I care about helping people as well. Now your friend feels that my kind of teasing and friendliness is wrong, and he attacked me for it. I defend my friends, no matter what. If they are friends of mine, I will always be there for them, and I get attacked for that as well, by another of your friends. That's OK though , because I'm a strong person, and I don't let things get me down. So when I need information from either side, it's there for me. My strength is in people, Marlene. Each and every time I've been attacked on this board, I haven't had to defend myself, my friends were there for me. So I have a full life, so many wonderful friends, and all the help that I need. It's nice of you to offer, but my plate is full. The one thing that I've learned in life that is important, and has stood me in good stead is this. I am no better than, or worse than anyone else. I'm the same. And when you respond to people that way, they respond back positively. I don't see myself as someone that has all the answers and the way to help others. Sometimes the best way to help others is to simply be quiet and listen.
