hello Am,
i think that you can be happy again, because i truly believe you are
mistaken that the folks who seemed to "tore you to shreds for their
own --intellectual-- amusement and showmanship" had the motives that you
ascribe to them... my impression is that some folks felt that they were
helping El by trying to make their viewpoints clear, and others may have
felt a need to express their own emotions which vary, but include
frustration and anger...
like all humans (myself included), some of the various posters may have been
self-absorbed and even a bit full of themselves every once in a while... but
i can't recall seeing a single instance where i felt that a poster's
motivation was intellectual amusement and showmanship... while the result
may have been not so pretty, i do not feel that folks motives' were so
shallow and negative...
usually if someone shows up ripping someone "for their own --intellectual--
amusement and showmanship", they become the next focus for what has become a
regular pattern of the person on the "hot seat" for massive comments from
the group... in most of the recent situations, i do feel that the folks who
have been in this seat have placed themselves there in one way or another...
quite often, members of the group are struggling to get them to see
something that folks feel a strong need to point out (whether it is correct
or not, and whether it is appreciated or not).
if you end up in the seat yourself, perhaps some people would try to suggest
(or ask) why you may have seen folks motivation in a way that made you so
sad... (and i say this someone who is sad about El feeling hurt and leaving
the list... i love her very much, and we have both recently supported each
other in difficult situations here on the list)... but i will not presume
that such commentary is wanted by you, so i will stop here...
warmly,
percyval
