>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. 60570
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." 60559
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).
