Gary,
Good morning. If you are new to this site, you may not have the full picture of what we are all about yet.
We are a family. From time to time, feelings get hurt and posts are misinterpreted. There have been people who mistakenly feel they have the right to try to call the shots for me. Super inflated egos can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands and can pack a mean punch.
There have been times when I also felt that the responses to my posts have been less than kind. You have to sit back, consider the source and make a decision to either stand your ground or move on.
If you feel that someone has treated you unfairly, tell them. Almost everyone who posts here makes their personal e-mail address available so take the time to mail them and let them know how you feel.
Although I haven't had the opportunity to meet anyone in person, I have been lucky and found some wonderful friends here. I consider Jonny to be one of those friends.
He is a sweet, kind and loving man with a caring soul. He will come to you with open arms if he knows that you are hurting or are in need of any kind of help or support.
I don't think Jonny has a whimpy bone in his body. He is very passionate in his beliefs and doesn't mince his words. With Jonny, what you see is what you get....a genuine, true-blue friend who will defend you to the end but who will also not be afraid to tell you when you are wrong.
You mentioned that there have been others who have upset you. Have you let them know about this?
