respect!

Hats off to you for sticking to your principles through periods of great adversity and you deserve kudos for the hard boiled experience you have earned by cooperating with other MAPs in mixed environments including, sadly, the unprincipled and law enforcement agents both above board and undercover. Hopefully you keep on sharing your life experience with faith that others will be inspired to work in positive ways to improve their own lives and maybe along the way help and inspire each other as you have helped others along your way. But we all have our roles to play here, including the trolls, antis, catphishers and government agents. You only get the luxury of focusing on the higher principles thanks to others holding down the low ground. Please don't take it as a personal insult when your feelings are described as warm and fuzzy. When you visit BC you are like an elder school administrator poking your head into a classroom for people who aren't yet blessed with your years of wisdom. BC's unofficial Official Ham-Handed Historian reserves the right to incorporate all class visitors into a history lecture. Adversity does not build character,it reveals it -James Lane Allen
