Hi Merv,

I think you misunderstood what I mean by open. I don't have Roy in mind when I say this. It is open for anyone to read that subscribes and anyone to reply. If a person doesn't want criticism or help for what they write, WHY are they writing? It is implied consent to a reply. Either people want honest replies, or they have wrong motive. Therefore, we all have not only the right, but a responsibility to reply with what the person honestly needs to hear, maybe even if not what they want to hear.

We don't have to "be Roy" to share tough love. I assure you, Roy isn't the first person I have met that knows how to give it. Surely you know others, too. If the boards are not for the betterment, and growth of people, then they are there for entertainment and socializing. We know better, we know what their intent is. I do agree with you that tough love is tough to discern in the written word, sometimes. Those that have a problem with this don't belong on forums that utilize the written word for serious discourse.
