I have to admit I'm as surprised as Lacy. But then again, in thinking to the "people" of this world and how they behave.....remember the saying "you can't make everyone happy" so I imagine that fits here.

Sherry: DEFINITELY don't let that person get you down. She may say she's like you and doesn't want to be like you anymore....well, YOU aren't like HER! Pity her for her inability to realize SHE is the one to blame not you. YOU are an awesome person and have EXCELLENT advice! You did the right thing in deleting it :) :hug:

Thanks Brenda, and the rest of you. I just guess when I started the board I didn't realize that everyone expected the moderator to be an "example" to everyone else. I figured I was just someone who was struggling and trying the same as other people!

I guess struggling and sometimes failing isn't ok for someone who is supposed to "lead" or something... LOL.

Sherry, don't feel bad, you are human just like the rest of us. :hug:

Sherry,

I always enjoy your posts and was glad when I wandered over to the low carb section recently and you were there. Your posts are positve, real and honest.

I had an immediate reaction when I read you origianl post, much the same as you expressed later on. This is a person who really hates themselves. In fact, I hope you won't hate me! but my immediate sympathies went to your emailer. How horrible it must be to be in that much pain that you have to strike out at others in such a mean and meaningless way.

I really admire how you have handled this situation. I believe an accurate assesment is that you are who your emailer wants to be. Someone who loves, accepts and supports themself.
