I've been experiencing cyber-bullying by stealth and innuendo. It helped to find this, via WIKI.."Further studies have shown that envy and resentment may be motives for bullying. Research on the self-esteem of bullies has produced equivocal results. While some bullies are arrogant and narcissistic, others can use bullying as a tool to conceal shame or anxiety or to boost self esteem: by demeaning others, the abuser him/herself feels empowered."I will ignore,it works.

And here's to POSITIVITY, in the form of a thought on toxicity.....best to ignore toxicity obviously.!!!...the quote:::"When you do not know how to focus your thoughts effectively, they can become scattered, miscellaneous, and fixated on "stuff"-negative notions, toxic relationships, and situations from the past. Darren L. Johnson " FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE, yes! Focus your thoughts on the positive, yes..! Avoid toxicity, yes !!!

My test for fairness in faa contests has proven two things...having f/b friends vote in faa/only contests does influence wins and is unfair to non-f/b members, and, much to my surprise, one contest afforded me the trifecta of win,place,show...which I announced, to the consternation of "many" , I am told, so now we can only announce in the new thread for one and all..

A Graceful Margin : A damage done to the Soul, even if that injury is a malicious and willful one, need not be permanent; yes, the scar is there, but all wounds, all scars, respond to the balm of love, but only if that love embraces the damage, and does not seek to deny its very real place in the experience of another, because to deny and look away is itself a kind of theft. .
