Not to mention, nobody can *really* make their bones by debating on a forum. Maybe a constructive debate can teach both parties (and the folks reading along) new things. But to really make our bones, we have to walk the walk. Learn things, practice things, DO things. Writing about things without doing them is a mental exercise, not a life’s work or a path. And picking debates just for the sake of being edgy, well... that’s not a path that leads anywhere useful, lol.

Well said, as always.

OH NO-I am not suggesting to do a spell just to give an excuse not to handle something-only as an aide to help someone handle it properly-so if my post sounds like it suggests that I am sorry, I didn't make it clear enough as to why I am asking! Plus I had seen what hate & bullying can do & sometimes the best way to handle it is to not give in to it!
