>Mental illness and drug fiend thing? I have been out and offline so I don't know
what your reference is, but I shall make it my business to check it out before going
to sleep.< YOU neglected to mention the "drunk" think as well.

I want to be helpful so let me start you on your quest- of course there are MANY MANY more and these aren't even the worst ones, but it will get you started. Fanning out in time forward or backward you will run into many more. I am just too tired to fetch any more.

I think I remember CB's mentioning at one point that she was drinking, which
may be
where CH got the impression that she might have had too much. I honestly
don't want to
go back and look! It was all unfortunate and shouldn't be dredged up,
especially when CB
is not yet back with us.

Mike, that outburst was not typical of CB, who is a treasured friend. Her
walloping
me was not typical either, so I am not taking it to heart and feel foolish
for letting it get to
me at all.
If something is wrong, then we should be cutting slack--as we have in the
past for other
thread members who have been under stress or have encountered "hot buttons."

JLA, the intrusion and, indeed, the whole tone of the argument was so very
unlike
CB's normal persona that I think she must be under some serious stress that
we don't
know. I miss her very much.

What I meant is that I put it in the context (oh, I am really overusing this
word) of
being snapped at by a good friend who is under stress

Let's let the whole thing re CB drop, O.K.? I'm all right and don't wish to
stir any
more embers. We all have our own peeves and irritable moments and it would be
unproductive to be reminded of them afterward

Mike, I am not disappointed in you and I know perfectly well that your
comments were
not specific to her attacking me--that was only incidental to the outburst.
What I meant
was that the whole tone of her postings of late has suggested to me that she
is under some
stress and, for whatever reason, not her usual self. I am sure that some of
the thread
members who have known her longer than I will bear me out.
Since she has been terminated, she can't possibly read our postings unless
she has
managed to lurk. I don't know what is going on or why, but I know that CB is
a very
warm and thoughtful person ordinarily. Actually, her wee hours postings had
a depressive
"feel" to them--the lashing out all of a sudden when "under the influence."
It is one of the
reasons I am so concerned for her.

60593 (from Mike to Edw) Thanks for your kind words and understanding,
Edwarda. I
too feel CB was filled with some kind of dark motivation the other night. My
decision
not to work for her return has nothing to do with her being here, or
bothering me. It has
everything to do with the same concerns you have. I don't think she's a
healthy woman
and I don't think this thread is the best medicine for her.
You really are quite admirable.

I can get lots of savage attack posts but I assume you don't want those. And this and the previous post are not and were not intended as attacks of any kind- except attacks upon the obfuscation of history and truth (as I see it, limited though my vision may be)

I can get lots more posts about Cobalt drunk though, or drinking or mentally unbalanced (and wouldn't it be better for HER if she was off SI said SOMEONE rather chillingly).
