Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I guess that depends on your definition of what sharing information means. I consider that I *am* sharing information when I counter a statement like " drugs are poison. " Sorry that makes you uncomfortable. That's not my intent. But allowing blanket statements that seem factually wrong makes ME uncomfortable. I've lived with this disease for 25 years and have a lot I can share, but that won't mean always blanket agreement... I don't find it to be real support just to hear " sorry you feel bad. " In fact, Nellie's original statement to the newbie was also not just " sorry you feel bad. " Information, pros and cons, about treatment and expectations is what you get in a REAL support group, which I hope this is. Again, you can always filter. > From: " blairshomeschool " <blairshomeschool@...> > Reply-Rheumatoid Arthritis > Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 16:20:49 -0000 > Rheumatoid Arthritis > Subject: Re: Current Debate > > >> may I ask why? >> >> I'd like to know what IS on topic for this group if these > discussions >> aren't... > > > Hi Gwen, > > Here is a description of the purpose of this group from the homepage: > > This group is open to anyone interested in making friends, sharing > information and support with others affected by this disorder. > > It seems that the discussion has left sharing information and entered > into arguing about the information. > > ) > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
