Goq, that is NOT mean. That was protection through a difficult part of your life, so that is a whole different story.
Asking someone to share the meanest things they did and egging them on, while not even speaking about their own failings and how mean they themselves were (I checked, he did NOT contribute, only egg others on) is not a normal productive type of post.
Goq you yourself explained that you started a thread to show others how to appreciate their spouse and not take them for granted. Such a post makes sense. Does it make sense for a fairly new poster (did you see him post before) to start such a thread and not discuss his own story?
