The issue is the sheer repetitive nature of those posts. They are practically carbon copies of one another. I for one don't know and don't care who she's addressing the comment to -- the point is that they are some kind of backhanded attack. She's out attributing motives to otheers' (unspecified) posts. If someone is talking about being kind, how about at least being consistent?

What about not being a dick?

In what way am I being a dick? I am simply saying how about the OP just stay consistent with her message. State her piece as many others have here, without the snide commentary?

Being repetitive and beligerent yourself. You said your piece, rest. You keep going and going and going.

Is that clear now?

Snide is a matter of opinion. I don't read it that way. Perhaps because I'm not approaching the topic from a defensive stance to begin with.

I got my laptop just so that I can reply properly (I hate typing on smartphones).

 

As @gehenna said, if you recognise yourself in a nameless description then you know it's on you. I gave all the information you need now and I will not continue - I think you have enough for self-reflection.

Sad to see a member go due to attacks.

 

In this instance have the attackers themselves been banned?

Mike - sorry to hear about you feeling it necessary to step back. Hopefully all you're currently facing resolves well and we see you back sooner rather than later. Take care.

Well I totally missed all this.

 

 

 

I hope @mikeB4 is well again soon; those of us who have dealt with significant health issues will have an insight into how much they can interfere with life in all sorts of unexpected and unforeseen ways.

 

 

 

Mike and I often did not agree, but we are all family of a sort here (at least, I think we are) and what family exists in a state of permanent harmony? Hope to see you back Mike - hang in there.
