    In answer to Pomp’s statement that “no one owns this forum” I would agree. But the way I see it is, Anita has earned the right to be the main authority figure here. if anyone else is prepared to do the hard yards and respond devotedly to every cry for help every day, every post, then I might consider them as well but I haven’t seen it yet.
    So I am prepared to cut Anita more slack than everyone else. If I strongly disagree with her I am going to spend more time communicating with respect. But the way it has turned out recently, I agree with her anyway.
    On the other hand if someone comes on here randomly and expects 100% empathy for their point of view, I’m not going to feel as obliged.
    So you can call this bias if you like but I wouldn’t support someone who I think didn’t deserve it.

    And no one has the right to make others feel less of themselves.

    I think a better quote is:
    “Noone has the ability to make me feel less about myself.”
    That is more empowering.
    We are more able to change the way we react, than what is external.

    I mean the only thing they all do is never take me out anywhere, we are always stuck in the house

    That sounds disrespectful to me and a real red flag. Perhaps you need to be more sensitive to early warning signs like this.
    There are other factors like age. I imagine older guys would be ready for more serious commitment, which is what you are looking for.
    Perhaps take a break form relationships for a while and just try to enjoy life on your own. Discover other passions in life.

    I like the Churchill one best Anita.

    Did you hear about the guy addicted to brake fluid?
    He says he can stop anytime.

    How many Australians does it take to make a vegemite sandwich?
    I don’t know and I don’t care because I hate vegemite!

    Let him come on here to and we can practise our inner critics on him instead of ourselves. 🙂
    But seriously you need to protect yourself by exposing him to authorities whoever they may be.

    I think we older members have learnt to have a thicker skin. One disagreement doesn’t have to be the end. I mean if we are just going to fawn over each other and never have a falling out, that’s not real compassion. That’s just superficial BS, in my view. 🙂 Real maturity is moving on from a dispute, and learning to accept each others’ idiosyncrasies, even they might annoy us.

    A shame really. I don’t think I was offensive.

    Anita

    I see that you have addressed a post to me..I will not force myself to read any of it, I have no curiosity

    um I think snails actually read the post being might curious….but no you’re right I can’t read minds

    Jack I hope that one day you will be able to see that how you spoke to Moon was unkind

    oh god the guilt I suffer now and will forever burn in hell because of my wicked post…. 🙂
    more sneaky manipulations. Anita was right….

    I don’t long for power in relationships as much as I want respect and connection

    I guess that is what we all want, Inky And let’s hope we can do that on here. 🙂

    So it is natural then to talk about power on here, this forum. Are we older members ever using our age and experience as a trump card? Are we ever patronising younger members, “oh you don’t understand, when you get to my age, you’ll see what I’m saying.”
    Or are the younger members thinking” oh god, why do I have to respect these technophobic dinosaurs?” 🙂
    Might be a male/female thing too. Personally I’d like to see another regular male on here. Which makes me think that this kind of forum tends to attract females. Why can’t I have more masculine interests? 🙂
