I am horrified at the treatment you are getting form that anonymous writer.
It never crossed my mind that you were anything other than genuine & I cried
when I read about your distressing situation, imagining that this misfortune
could happen to any one of us.  I am also greatly touched that so many other
subscribers to the group are with you and support you and also abhor this
behaviour.  It has restored my faith in the list.  Being only a fairly new
subscriber to the list, I was shocked that there could be such venom coming
from a list of people who have a common interest in the well-being of our
Berner friends & those who love them.

I will keep you and you beautiful Berners in my prayers & hope for a good
outcome for you all.

Thanks for the horrible private post. I'm not suffering enough for you I
guess. To even respond to your poison sickens me but in case there are
others who may think I posted as a way to get money..you are wrong. I
had already decided on Saturday that I wouldn't even apply to BEHAF because,
even though I am no longer on the board, I didn't want there to be a hint of
impropriety.

Excuse me that I felt the need to vent to the people who have become my
friends over the last 5 years or so. And I did think twice before posting
about my divorce, but thought it could serve as a cautionary tale as well.
How was I to know that my marriage would end after almost 20 years? That my
husband would, as you put it, "finaly [sic] figure out I was a fat, ugly
b."

And as for your suggestion that I get a "real job". Again it disgusts me to
even respond. I have worked since I was a teenager [I am now 47]. Now I
cannot work due to medical reasons.

I hope spewing the vile vomit got it out of your system. I feel sorry for
you. If anyone would like me to forward this curse laden sack of bile to you
privately, please let me know. I won't insult the entire list by doing so.
But it is very eyeopening to think there are people like this out there.

To everyone else that has posted with their kind words and prayersI
thank you. That is all I was hoping for. Just prayers for Ari and Bacchus
and a little moral support for me. Just like so many of us have needed from
time to time.

Just so everyone knows some of the details, this is a person who isn't
civilized enough to sign the post, used an email address that isn't
subscribed to the List, and apparently just enjoys spewing poison to make
other people miserable. 

If anyone has any knowledge of just who A Kessel is, please contact me.
This is not someone who belongs on the Berner-L.

A Kessel, if you have any guts, you'll let me know your Berner-L email
address so I can delete you. But I'm reasonably sure you don't have the
dignity or courage that it takes to be open and honest about what you've
done. I'd love to be proven wrong on this one.
