The record holder for comments on a blog here in 2012 is a blog on March 3; it had 558 comments. The topic was about all the trolls on this site, specifically naming two people. People that merely shared different views from what this site preaches. As such, they were targeted and gleefully hated on.
Second biggest in 2012? May 15, it was a very negative anti-A.A. blog. Again, hate mongers gathered in glee. Anybody opposing that view . . . targeted and hated on. Totaled 555 comments.
3rd was a blog I posted, July 7. Basically pointing out the fallacious anti filled arguments people had against A.A. I had just heard about this site a couple of days prior. Again, people gathered with gleeful hate. 446 comments. Since then the largest commented blog (209 comments) is about how I deleted my comments; much name calling, hate spewing, etc. towards me. I quickly realized that there is no logic here, merely A.A. hate.
I came here because I was hoping to receive positive alternative view(s). I understand A.A. is not perfect nor, is it for everybody. I say to each their own, whatever can keep you happy and sober. However, the major view here is not so open. It is merely negative anti-A.A. Anything which supports any anti-A.A. view keeps the cogs on this site greased and going. Anything in contradiction is viewed as cancer with blinded and unquestioned prejudice, regardless of the logic; and then there's the childish name calling: steppers, Wilsonites, the cult, etc.
Most have vowed to ignore me now. Which has made my visits here much more pleasant. I was seriously considering not even visiting; but it does contain an occasional good alternative view and much entertainment from the senseless logic, more than anything.
Just a little informative. Have a nice day : )

I suppose I was referring to
I suppose I was referring to him and the fact that he's in AA, not how many divorces he's had since in the program, but such specificity does seem a bit silly. Apologies, I took the day off. Where were we? Oh yes, the ex has a restraining order (or just eviction notice?) against her most recent ex, and that seems to make you a bit gleeful. Dating must be absolute hell over in Myrtle Beach, from what I'm gathering....

How am I gleeful, PIE? I
How am I gleeful, PIE? I didn't bring any of this here and I asked for prayers for her when Conan thought he was taunting me with her photo. She's an ill woman. I find all of this board behavior sad... but not personal. If anything, it just demonstrates the volatility my husband went through.
I hope you aren't suggesting that people in AA cannot divorce. Of course they can.

Of course they can! I realize
Of course they can! I realize it's customary in some circles to insist that the problems in now defunct relationships were due to the other person having a mental illness, but I doubt these problems are severe enough in the population to just keep affecting everyone you know. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you say your ex is mentally ill, you say his ex is mentally ill; were they perhaps just going through a bad time? Or still are? Again, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it just is a reaction I associate with younger, less mature people. This notion that any relationship that melted down and involved emotions was due to some mental problem on the part of the other person. It is certainly part of a pattern with you here, though. It's never you, it's always some horrific fault (that is also conveniently pitiable) on the part of someone else. The only thing you've really proven here in months is that you love attention, even if it's extremely negative. OK, not the only thing, you've also proven that you have LOADS of free time.
Just out of curiosity, you used to claim that your husband saw this forum and could block certain users' posts. Those posts, up to that point, were just about AA. Why hasn't he managed to block almost everyone at this point? I mean, if posts about AA and Myrtle Beach bothered him before, surely he'd want to be chivalrous again under these circumstances, right? I suppose this blew another Clara lie right out of the water then.

Great observation, PIE!
Great observation, PIE! This is EXACTLY what Bill Wilson teaches steppers to do:
"This was our course: We realized that the people who wronged us were perhaps spiritually sick." BB pg 66
"Let's remember that alcoholics are not the only ones bedeviled by sick emotions." 12&12 pg 78
We have begun to learn tolerance, patience and good will toward all men, even our enemies, for we look on them as sick people. BB pg 70
He is just another very sick, unreasonable person. BB pg 108
Though we did not like their symptoms and the way these disturbed us, they, like ourselves, were sick too. BB pg 67
When a person offended we said to ourselves, "This is a sick man. BB pg 67
I could probably find others...

It was very helpful, Penny,
It was very helpful, Penny, because it would have been so easy to just be angry at the antics and garbage. But we realized that she was a sick person and it was much easier. We can now see that yet another is going through the business, and it was wonderful of the forum members to affirm we had been right.

Clara, this has more to do
Clara, this has more to do with me and my experiences than you, but to call someone mentally sick is one of the cruelest, most condescending ways I can think of to devalue that person. It feels absolutely horrible to be on the receiving end of such a "diagnosis."

Penny, if you've read the
Penny, if you've read the thread, you know it isn't just something a woman is saying about another to be petty or a bitch. There have been several diagnoses from qualified doctors and many treatments, and many monthly scripts. It's a serious lifetime issue with no reprieve. It wasn't just a matter of being able to detach because one conveniently wants to think someone was ill, but I surely understand your point.

As for having LOADS of time,
As for having LOADS of time, that isn't me running around the net researching not only a woman you DON'T like... but people on the very peripheal edges of her life. That, of course, generated how many additional posts to her? That's not on me, PIE. , I asked for prayers for a woman that has a very hard time.
The person you are referencing is not an ex, but was a good friend and it became unmanageable. The woman in question is an ex-wfe, but he didn't leave because she was mentally ill. There would certainly be times of goodness, and he wouldn't have walked away simply because someone was ill or had a disease. She was unfaithful.
As for the posts being about AA, that wasn't true. JR was doing his usual stalk as he does most women in AA that come to the board. It happened within the first two weeks and had been tolerated for long enough. But now it doesn't matter. No one expected anyone to behave as the members of this forum did, but as my sponsor said, all it showed is that I told the truth.

Perhaps I should copy and paste some childish ditty, then delete all my posts when I eventually get inundated with logic and reasoning? Then go away for a bit, come back again and repeat the cycle?

First off, Orange didn’t set
First off, Orange didn’t set this site up to be an anti-aa advocate site. Ask him? Second even if he did, he said in a post a few months past (from what I hear) that everybody is welcome here, no matter how you come down on AA.
It has been only said by anti aa members here, that this is an anti site. Instead of acting like you created this site or assuming you know why the owner created this site, ask the owner again for maybe the ka-zillionth time why he started this site.
We come here because we can, we say the things we do because we can and we put up with your abuse because we are trying very hard to show you the right way of behaving. Obviously you did not learn manners growing up. Typical untreated drug addict and or drunk behavior. In JR Harris’s case, I have no explanation for his atrocious behavior.

Vicky, what the heck happened
Vicky, what the heck happened since Aug 1st till now. That is when you introduced yourself to everyone, hon. I understand you can get caught up in the euphoria of meeting a new group of people who make you feel all warm and cuddly. But please be smart.
Be careful now and I mean it. Ben(Conan) and Gunthar both come from the same cloth, they are not emotionally healthy and can not be trusted to help you at a time when you need it most.
I would suggest you hang around members on RFR that are looking for more out of life then abusing people and causing trouble on other sites.
