Many of you have voiced opinions in posts to me that you value my transparency, others think I let my feelings fly too much, and others think I have issues with men and authority figures.

Now is your chance to tell me what you really think...go for it. I am listening.

Blessings, Rhoni
Rhoni,

Since you asked, I'll respond.

Regardless of what you may think, I do not dislike you. I don't agree with you all the time, and I"m not shy to voice my disagreement, but don't confuse disagreement with dislike.

If I could offer one suggestion, it would be this - when people disagree with you, you often respond very harshly and in an insulting manner.

For instance, when I agreed with Rico on another thread, you managed to insult and alienate us both by saying something to the effect of "Have a thought of your own instead of patting idiots on the head".

You're a counselor, you realize that this statement completely shuts down all meaningful dialogue from that point forward.

And, then when people decide to no longer discuss the issue, you assume that you have intimidated them. Not the case.

I think you are a very transparemt woman (not a bad thing!), and I also believe, by your own admission, you are searching for something, and sometimes the combination of restlessness and transparency create the illusion of narcissism.

When people point that out, especially more than one, it might be a good thing to do some soul searching.

And that advice applies to me too, lest you think I"m picking on you!!!!!!!!!!
