Two posts from the thread in question:
"MJ, I understand where you come from. I can see the mistake in making a quick judgement about someone who had to make a difficult decision. I feel sad for him, for her family, for her children, but I am just uncomfortable with the way it all went down.
Thanks everyone for letting me talk about this.
It is over now, and she has died. Her funeral is late this week. I probably will not go, I don't think it is my place to be there."

http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,193710,193732#msg-193732"I am not saying you are being deceitful, but it is obvious to me that you have strong negative feelings toward the man, this is a very emotionally charged time and perhaps old feelings are clouding your judgment."
Just a word of caution, MJ. That word (but) has a tendency to negate every word that comes before it. Here's how your statement actually reads:
"I am not saying you are being deceitful, BUT you are being deceitful so I'm now going to be judgemental towards you."
If one considers his or her point is not getting across, then one should likewise consider that perhaps he or she doesn't have a point to get across.
Beating it to death is usually a dead giveaway.
