Perhaps as a Buddhist you are here to bring peace. I am not.

Did their attacks help me? No. In fact I *still* don't know which post was
the post that was supposed to be helpful to me. That is how this all
started. Robert Miles left me a vague message and pinged me about it. He
didn't tell me specifically which one it was. And when I said I couldn't
find a post that was helpful to me, instead of someone pointing out where or
what this post was, they just started attacking me and telling me I was
ungrateful!
