ORIGINAL: subtee I've posted nothing but logic. Why do you have such an emotional investment? Why do you need her to answer to you? She was asking for help and she got it. Why isn't that enough for you? Why do you have to have an answer? What does it mean to you? Many folks have come here for help. And they've gotten it, in large part. When they've been given such good, great advice and have decided to humbly go on from there, what do you get out of continuing to harass her? Not surprisingly, you see it as harassment, emotional involvement and any other number of negatives. However, if you were as open minded and logical you claim to be, you would see there is a lot more to it. Many times, others have posted with REAL problems, and they have come here for advice, and gotten good, sensible advice from the "peanut gallery" (some of whom actually have a background in counseling and therapy). Sometimes they have come back months later with an "update" of how things turned out, good or bad. It isn't because anyone was "calling them out," trying to "berate them further," or find enjoyment from their suffering. People like to hear those updates, especially the good ones (which goes against your view of reasoning) so that we can offer them congratulations, and some modicum of emotional support on dealing with what can sometimes be some pretty big fall out from the tough decisions that they made. Perhaps if you find so many of us here to be such horrible people, you should avoid threads where we post against your beliefs. Because right now, your continual comments here are becoming more amusing than the childish tantrum of the OP. It's true that the OP may never come back and update us with what happened (although based on previous posts, she is quite the attention seeker). But the reality is that the next time she posts with one of her childish issues, she isn't likely to get much advice. Most people around here are more than happy to try to help. However, when someone shows that they are never going to listen to what is usually common sense, they make themselves the butt of the joke, not the people who answer. You might do well to learn that lesson.
