Tiki, I don't know if you've read the thread or not, but have a glance through
this one if you have a half hour to spare. It might give you a deeper understanding of what people are trying to tell you.
I'm not trying to jump on you. I understand why you're saying the things you are and I agree with some of it, but honestly, if I were in Clods shoes, I'd find some of the suggestions you've made pretty hurtful. I'm sure you haven't meant it that way, but that's how it looks. Maybe I'm wrong about Clod's feelings, but she has a massive burden to bear at the moment, and I think you're being just a little bit inconsiderate. Of course, you can't be expected to know everything about everyone here because you're fairly new, so I just thought it might be helpful for you to know.
Have a blessed day.
