What I find fascinating about RCR's writings is that each time I return to them, I see something new or extra validation.
It's almost like the eyes in a portrait; when you visit a stately home and the eyes in a portrait seem to be looking at you from every direction. 

I have never wavered from thinking that RCR has done a cracking job in informing us all of this devastating life challenge that we face.
Yes stats change and develop as more and more information comes our way  and yes the concept of MLCers, their actions etc broadens as we discover increasingly different ways that MLCers behave but the reality is that they do follow a script, the LBS has much to learn and to grow and thanks to RCR and her articles all of us can benefit to suit us at that specific moment in time.

I have always found HB's writings to be generally more pertinent to my situation. RCR has a few good pieces that are relevant to me, but the one I returned to over and over on a daily basis was HB.

That said, I find RCR's forum to be far more useful than HB's.

I really don't see why forum membership is being linked to how useful we find RCR's writings. The forum is not about RCR's wisdom. It's about the collective wisdom of all members.

I dont think that we tend to stop believing in MLC after a time. I do believe that many LBS reach a Point where it is just too much, too much has happened or a boundry hasnt been respected.

We are all different and all have our boundrys, everybody is capable of dropping their stand once that boundry is crossed. Then we flip our own little swich I guess.

I think this is a very important point. No one comes to this website intending to NOT stand, or to convince others not to. There just comes a point when you have to choose...yourself or your MLCer. While they are in MLC you can not have both.

What I find fascinating about RCR's writings is that each time I return to them, I see something new or extra validation. 

I think this really reiterates what I said previously. No matter how many times you (in general, not you specifically song  read something, it will always resonate and highlight with the parts you CURRENTLY want it to. Your brain will focus and pick out the things you find relevant. Then you bend the information in your mind to suit your wants. The things that don't apply you mentally ignore or throw away...or notice later when you are more self aware.

I really don't see why forum membership is being linked to how useful we find RCR's writings. The forum is not about RCR's wisdom. It's about the collective wisdom of all members.

This.
