This is very cool of you. I've found posting the most innocuous things can cause such hateful comments, I've found myself not posting about any really serious issues anymore. It's good to know we can come to you if it becomes too much. Thanks!

I found the responses disappointing. Who cares about her writing? The opinions about her husband were unnecessary. Do you think she doesn't know those things?

Thanks Jeff!

Obviously it's up to Jeff but nothing anyone wrote on that thread is remotely unusual for DCUM. Some of the responders wrote things about your DH that you might not want to hear, but that's life. Why post if you don't want honest opinions? A few responders maligned your writing skills, but again that's a pretty mild (and extremely frequent) insult in DCUM-land. I don't see the problem. If you let the post stand and just ignore the posts about your writing, you may still get some valuable opinions.

I should have known better than to post on DCUM.

Thanks.
