Re:clarity

I had read the previous post and I thought it was good. The poster, however, expressed concern in that post that she was somehow being inappropriate (I never thought so) and noted he/she was debating whether or not to actually send it. It appears that after posting there was continued self-doubt and thus the contact was made with Dr. Paulsen. I think it was handled well, Dr. Paulsen noted the post was appropriate and that it was long and rambling (I felt this also, but it wasn't excessive by any means). She respected the poster's request to have that first post deleted, let him/her know it was appropriate and noted that it had been long and rambling. This respected the poster and probably helped him/her to clarify their own self-doubt around the post. The reposted message is asking the same as the first post, it's a bit shorter, not as repetitive, and somewhat clearer. The Poster did a great job in honoring him/herself, each of us has the right to change our minds and this person did that - decided that he/she was uncomfortable with the first post and took action to deal with it. Dr. Paulsen's response supported that decision in a respectful manner, she honored the poster.
