I feel its a very pathetic approach when any body who disagrees with a particular situation is made to run away. I see that happening on the betrayed board where God forbid any OW posts an opinion to a question, the spy group will spot her and shoo her out. I see the same thing happening over here. I see most of the people making the comment "don't judge". Do you really not "judge" and "project your situation on somebody else" when one person complains about their marriage and you apply your experiences and tell them that things won't improve or something is definitely wrong in their primary relationship. Sometimes people do need a swift kick in the butt to open their eyes and let them see what really is the truth. Lets be a little more open here and invite others opinions and stay away from the cliches such as "We will support you whatever your decision is" and shooing anybody who doesn't. Try telling that cliche to a person pondering jumping over a cliff.
Let the board remain democratic and not a dictatorship.

Secondly let the original poster respond to the advice that others feel is not right and not jump the gun and be more loyal than the king unless the poster who responded is uttering profanities.

Anyway I got to go and pack for my conjugal weekend visit to my hubby in the other city so won't be able to follow up. Adios Amigos.
As to why we jumped in to defend Karen, that is what people who care do. I didn't feel Karen was in a place emotionally to defend herself from that attack and frankly, the nature of the post offended me. I would prefer to read profanities than vicious personal attacks.
I also find it ironic you want to tell us all how to post and then call that a democracy.

On another note....you have been busy :-) All these lost loves coming up from everywhere. Have a good one.
As far as the definition of a democracy, I would say you need to study government a bit more. What you are describing would be anarchy. A democracy is when the majority of the people decide how we are governed. That being the case, I would say you would lose this argument.
However, this board is not a government. It is simply a community of people who come together to offer one another advice and support (notice I didn't say people who come together to attack one another). So I'm going to keep being supportive of those who need it and rebutting those who are cruel and less than helpful. I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
