| Very Upset
Maybe this isn't exactly the right time to post this, I am extremely upset right now. I think this whole day has been nothing but finger pointing and arguments all day.
Take a look at the board today, most of the time these boards are full of people laughing, asking questions, and seeking support. They are almost empty today, and that is a shame. This board is for the support/questions and friendship.
I for one think we have had enough of the finger pointing and arguments. I think we need to put an end to this right now. I certainly don't want to come here any more if all I am going to read is negative things.
Everyone has had their say, now let's get back to the regular business at hand.
If you want to be mad at somebody, then be it, but keep it to yourself!
Sorry, I just couldn't take anymore of this.

Betty, I hear you. Just hang on though and this too shall pass. Actually, it's the first negativity I've seen at all and I've been here since the very beginning. That must be some kind of record!! :D

Hey, I'm the one that got yelled at by Donali! But I don't let it get to me. Some days it's fun to come here, other days there's lots of disagreements. I'm pretty miffed myself about certain LBT issues, but we always come back and laugh in the end, right? Hubby mentioned a full moon, could it be?

Hi Betty,
Life wouldn't be the same without you girl... I think people get entirely too sensitive here sometimes. I just try to take things with a grain of salt and be as uplifting as I can. Hope your day improves Betty. Teresa

((((HUGS))))) Betty... now... group (((((HUG)))))).... :)
Betty... I think you are absolutely right... I refer people to this forum constantly because it is such a wonderful... kind and supportive site. When I first started this journey... I went to another site where there was a huge flame war going on and I immediately kept on searching for another place for support and information. I always twinge when controversy erupts for fear that the board is becoming like the "others"... BUT.... it always returns to being the happy supportive place that I've come to love so much. :)

When I was still researching the band I saw the yahoo boards and they were all bickering and putting each other down. That was one reason I chose this sight but I also love the fact that you don't have to deal with advertizing here, you can read all the responses without it being a hunting game and waiting for it to load ect. This sight just has a much nicer, easier layout. I also like the fact we can put pics for our avatars here. Yahoo just had NO warmth, ease or personality. So what if a few people bicker once in awhile. Jeez, my family actually enjoys bickering. I've seen people get their feelings bruised over pretty minor comments or snap back over the same reason. There are a LOT of people on this forum now and some disagreement is bound to be expected. Overall I think we definitely accomplish our goal of supporting each other and educating others. If someone is blatantly mean than that should be looked at but people need to understand that we all have different experiences regarding particular doctors and they may not all be rosey. Everyone has the right to share their experience. I don't know what other bickering your talking about Betty. I have days I don't post but it isn't because of any of the attitudes on here. Its because I work, am taking classes, have a household to run and take care of and just get busy. Some evenings I finally get the chance to get on here but am too bushed to want to. I also have evenings that my favorite shows are on. Its nothing personal and I'm sure other people are experiencing the same life juggle. I'll often just check in here to see whats going on but don't have time to post much too. Anyway, things will settle down I'm sure. Thanks for the sweet pm too. Best wishes, Teresa
