I disagree Fledgling. Look if someone tells me, you are nothing but an Old Mother Hubbard, that is degrading. No one has a right to say anything bad to you and to describe you with those terms is derogeratory. But my question to you, is what is the answer you want. You are going to several boards with the same question. Apparently this person is important. So I suggest you look inside your heart for the right answer and just don't care. You know who you are and forget everyone else. We all have opinions but in the end, yours is all that matters.
I find people are so cruel and it is up to us to say enough is enough. I don't care and go on. If this is bothering you so much you have a problem. Cause this is nothing compared to many things they could of said. I guess if someone was going to insult me I prefer to hear this than some of the things I have heard. Just my opinion.
God bless you and may you find peace and just let this go.
