Sir,

Maybe you should make sure to publish all your answers to the abuse and violence questions right up front and let others see just how you answers questions.

I realize that you don't feel that you have enough knowledge about domestic violence and abuse and want to know more. But, when you classify yourself as an expert in an area, you should be able to answer the questions yourself and not depend on someone else to give you advice about the subject. If you want to learn more about the subject, you read what other people are saying in their responses.

My wife and I both have answered your question and, therefore, maybe everyone should read all the messages between you and us.

I never said that I was upset at everyone's answers. In fact, I feel that most of the people in this area, as well as most of the areas I am associated with are good honest, upfront people who know what they are dealing with and do a good job of it.

I spend part of my time on this site reading and rating other people's answers. In that way, I gain insight into areas that I may not have had before.

I invited any one and every one to go to my pages and read my answers and rate them as they see fit. I would appreciate any input I can get into how I am doing, positive or negative. I would welcome it.

Capntom, you started making this a public and personal confrontation.

I was trying to get my point across too.

I hope everyone reads the entire conversation that you and my wife and I had.

Blessings to all.

Here we go again. I did answer his second question and I told him specific exaples of why women stay in abusive relationships. This is what I am upset about: people come on this site and ask questions in any given category. Some of the time I find out they are "xperts" I am really getting tired of people trying to get the real experts to give them the answers. I am not going to answer these question any further( not talking about your post) I am an expert who actually helps people and i will continue to do so. Thanks for the post, I will go and read the answers right now. keep up the good work.
