Hello, my name is Shlomo mirror, and at the advise of realsimcha, I am trying to be a mirror to what is in Shlomo's mind. Mind you, I am a distorted mirror (in the words of Peloni) and not an x-Ray machine, so I definitely could be wrong, and I hope Shlomo will tell me so. 

Anon came on here offering advice that sounds to me and many others here as something that won't work. If he had tried it himself and had a good experience with it, then I'm all for sharing it. Even if I don't use it, someone else might.
The problem is, is that he never said a word if he struggles with the same issues as others here, and if he actually used this method with success. I should not have made fun of his post, but I do believe that pending conformation of this method actually working, it should be publicly discredited.
I believe I need to do this maybe because like stillgoing wrote, other new posters might get thrown off by his suggestion, or maybe for a different reason.
Maybe it just bothers me, after I spent so much time and energy (and money) working on my sobriety one day at a time, it hurts me to hear someone come and just blurt out an answer as if it's nothing. Let him try it in my shoes and then see if he still talks so big. And then there is that new mirror guy who- - never mind, I said I wasn't going to ridicule anymore. 

So how off was the distorted mirror?

Cool idea RS. Kudos to you.

Mirror, I have to say that I owe you an apology. I thought you didn't get it. I didn't realize how serious, humble, and genuine you are. I give you credit for trying this, and even more, for [i think] getting it. I am sure - with those middos - that you have good things coming your way.

No need for an apology. Clarity in conversation is a must. I noticed that Shlomo has not weighted in yet on how dirty the mirror was. 
I would be curious if he touched on what i was trying to say previously, or if i was too unclear.

I'm replying on behalf of Shlomo, because he was the one that called my name at the beginning of this thread.

Uh oh Mark, whatever he says, remember that we love you. 

How do you do that Mark?

In terms of the fairest of them all, you are spot on mirror. Almost exactly what I meant. I think that you were coming from a perspective that 1) It's not nice what I did, and 2) I shouldn't discount Torah. Is that true?

Thanks Shlomo. I am only the fairest of them all when i am reflecting others.
To the 2nd point, i suppose that i did mention that on the last page, but my point now, was that, it is okay if you do not want to listen to what he said. But why can't everybody who disagrees with it just ignore it and go on to a different thread.           I think the answer to that is the same reason that i am harping on what bothers me, which is the fact that others are harping on what bothers them...  i guess that i am guilty of that which i accuse others of...., but then again, what else can you expect from a mirror...

Funny thread from start to finish, thanks!
