Good points, Mouse...

Jme, but my trust issues change the older I get; more mature in my recovery simply because every day, or whatever length of time, there are more Aha! moments. Moments when I understand where another person may be coming from within their own recovery. Hopefully I will "allow" myself to ponder before making any assumption.

That said...
I still have a problem with those who misrepresent themselves on any public forum, most especially a forum designed to help/guide someone experiencing distress.
It's my problem, though. The longer I am here then the more I will become aware of those with whom I am not comfortable with...and that would happen for many reasons.

All part of life in a large community, IRL or online.
