text: Merely pointing out the inconsistency, and using the posters's own words because said poster seems to have difficulty reading what others write.  Shirley the poster realizes the irony of condemning another for "persisting" when the poster is, himself, "persisting."   But what drives one, who claims to find the experience upsetting, to continue to participate?  Is it courage, to withstand the cruelty, nastiness, and bullying?  Is the poster a Hero?  Is that the image that gives the poster the strength to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous postings and to take arms against those who would suggest the poster has ever erred?  Whatever the source of this noble adventure, perhaps the poster would do well to go back and read his posts, and consider that rather than appearing a christian martyr, he is giving the appearance of  one who has issues that need to be addressed?  I ask the question to encourage discussion and the free exchange of idears.
