It is neither my practice nor my desire to call a member out on a post, but I feel compelled to do so here.

Erica, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for posting this worthless, unproductive, offensive drivel.

In this, you have exhibited such a complete lack of sympathy, understanding, compassion, and just plain basic human decency that I cannot begin to even fathom where you are coming from, nor do I desire to do so.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding Marla's current issues, she is in a time of need. If you take even a quick, cursory glance at the other posts within this thread, you will notice that other members here have accomplished what you have so completely and utterly failed to do - they are here for her. They are not kicking her while she is down like you have.

I do not understand why you have responded in such a mean, repugnant, and detestable manner, Erica. Perhaps you should change your screen name from "Erica2Sweet" to "Erica2Rude." Seriously.

And another thing, Erica - you apparently do not know Marla.

Marla is my friend. Marla is the friend of many here. Marla is a kind, decent, wonderful, amazing person that has tried hard to make her life work in the face of adversity. This is not easy for her. It is not easy for many of us.

But Marla is a special person. She is there for others when they have been down. She has been there for me when I have needed support. And God knows I have needed a lot of support throughout my membership on the forum. As such, I believe myself to be quite blessed and fortunate that I have wonderful friends such as Marla.

She is just a good person, period. She deserves better than your spite, and the contempt that you have offered her.

As many here have proclaimed, I, too, proclaim my love for Marla . . . .

So please just go away, Erica. You have nothing to offer Marla. And quite frankly, based upon your post, and the one that preceded it, if you are really that person, I don't know that you have anything of value to offer the forum, either.

Whether you do so by private message or in the public forum, you should apologize to Marla.
