Hello dear ones,

I am in much fear and trembling. Too many painful memories on this thread. Too many dear ones who never came back. :verysad:

I do not blame anybody in particular - not the author of the opening post nor anyone else who participated. I myself posted on this thread numerous times. It just happened - it brought out the worst in us, collectively.

As one who lurked for years and who was literally saved from LSM and the LC by the posts on "the other forum", I would humbly ask everyone to remember that we do live "in a fishbowl". This forum is very public and many whom we never hear from are influenced by the discussions here, one way or the other.

One of the biggest areas where I take WL and the BB's to task is in the area of evil speaking. When we start exhibiting the same kind of unrestricted speaking here, I believe it is a real shame to us.

Ultimately, the main reason why I would like this thread to never be resurrected again is because something appeared to happen here which never should have happened - we appeared to forget the fact that, when all is said and done, we are still brothers and sisters in Christ.

I love you in Christ, dear bookworm and OBW. Much grace, peace, and love to all.
