That's why I find it difficult at times to post in threads like this. I'm torn between my heart and my head on this one. I think everyone here has had some very valid points and I've learned a great deal, too, just lurking in this one.
You are all very good people here. Just because you may not agree with one another, don't forget that you are all still, at the heart of it all, good people.
(I'll go back to lurking now.)

Yes, it can be a long journey to the Land of Self Esteem, can't it, DragonMage? And there is generally a little piece of us, that child part, that even then, after much work, isn't quite convinced that we're worthy. But we all are, just because we are human. Not because we are clever, or pretty, or athletic, just because we are us, because we exist. It's our birthright, to be loved. Unfortunately, some of us (I'm not talking about me now!) have never known that birthright.
Re the comment about people posting here and elsewhere on the forum, yes, I agree in spades! I think it's often not so much a case of being right or wrong, as of bringing who you are and what you feel to a discussion, a communication amongst equals. That way we all get to know and understand each other better, and also are privy to information that may inform and expand our views either now or in the future.
I'd like to sail that comment about good people right back at you, dear DragonMage. You seem a very lovely person, and I'm very glad to know you.
