Excellent advice. Where might have moonlightress been offered similar advice?

Moonlightress, you can ignore my public opinions, you can choose not to respond to my opinions, and If my opinions are truly frightening, then there is even an option to “foe” me as to not be able to see whatever advice I might have to offer in a public forum. These are all reasonable options without trying to censor another person’s participation.
Instead of using the options readily available, moonlightress went down the path of manipulation, trying to use shame, trying to use social guilt, even going so far as to create a thread that opens with this attempt being made front and center.
Why? Because as already stated in my previous responses, but worth reinforcing for anyone that is interested in a better life philosophy, it is a tool that unfortunately works all too often. It has probably been used successfully against moonlightress as much as she has used it against others. My advice, NEVER allow someone to use this tool against you. If my opinions are too unsavory or out of line, if my tone or my delivery are not to your liking, fair enough...then listen to the advice of CANDID! Ignore me!
