Sammi, dear friend, you have been a wonderful 'coach' during all these discussions. I had no idea it was going on and actually glad I did not at the time. Now, I can post with a more clear observation. Your forum is much too good for some of these posts. You have done a wonderful job of presenting Articles of Virtue. Something in a more challenging attitude is beginning to happen here at ALP and I pray it will cease. It is okay for people to voice their opinion but to be deliberately 'cruel & judgmental' should be taken to another place. The best is tied hands and fingers or biting your tongue and turning off the computer and screaming to the world. This presentation has been a very good one and an article we could all learn from.
Leslye, dear, about the same time your article was being attacked, there were other issues going on. Pay attention to those wonderful things that have been said to you and for the commendation for the article you wrote so well. It is much worthy of being read and taken to heart. Some of us here in this community do take things to heart more so than others. There are some I wonder if their heart is made of stone. Just be proud of what you have accomplished and forget the bitter criticism. Do not let words cause you to leave Adlandpro. Yes, it is a community as was put to me AD Land PRO, but it is also a social networking community. Friends, whether offline or online are very important in any business.
This will be challenged and I will most probably be attacked again. However, I wanted both you, Sammi & Leslye, that I support you and this fine forum. There are many good friends who have posted some wonderful things here and for that you can be more encouraged.
Have a blessed weekend,
