Jodi and her example

[Guest guest]

Dear Jodi I didn't feel you came off very hard in the post before the

apology one. You were just franking venting your feeling at the time.

You must be a very gentle person. To feel you had to apology for your

candid feelings. We are all learn some thing by your example of patience

and tolerance of others.

I will not try to get frustrated about information and satistics that

people pull from their heads with out giving reference information on

were to research this for one self. I am a person that does not just

simply take ones words as the written truth on the matter.

It does make me wonder if some of these facts and satistics are so new

and if they are up to date and recent that the person would also

remember there source and quote that also.

Their is new information given all the time and new testing and

something some one may of read a year ago or even months ago and

quotes a satistic on it may be quoting and old out dated satistics. Why

should some one just take some ones word for it. And they may not even

be remembering correctly.

Or when a person gives scarey type information different from what the

care taking encourages you to do as a reason why they don't do in a

certain way with out giving the back up information as to were they get

this stuff that is aggravating to me and can be misleading to others

and even cause harm to others if they decide this person must know what

they are talking about since this person often quotes big satistics and

facts.

One such example of a situtation like this recently on the group. Was

some one telling another person not to do some thing a certain way

because if you do it could cause very serious illness the type that

causes death relates several very serious illness's that have caused

death to others in very different circumstances not related to the

routine you are using or the topic at hand but comparing this type of

illness to your routine of circumstances. When your doctor or care

person over seeing your treatment tell you different that if you don't

do it this way you are risking illness.

I don't quite understand people like that its as if they have to be an

authority on every thing and what they do or say is the only really

proper way to do some thing and they will try to inforce their own ideas

with scary information or satictics with out reference material.

So I would like to see more reference material given. Because to me

just because some one has alot to say about every topic is not

necessarily accurate.

I can try to take it with a grain of salt but I wonder about newer ones

who maybe are looking to this group for the answers instead of doing the

research them selfs if they could be mislead at times.

I think if a person can not state the reference material as to were

they get these hard core facts and satictics then instead of giving this

type of information they should stick with just how they are personally

effected or how they personally do some thing when asked a question or

relating some. I feel that at times some one reads a post maybe to them

or to just the group on a personally matter and some one will just print

out satictics with out reference material stating the opposite view of

what a person should be doing or how they should be feeling. Because the

satictics say this can't be so.

I will try like you encouraged to learn how to just receive the post I

care to read and over look those that I know might cause irritation.

Because I have thought of unsubcribing my self because of this. But

there are so many people that are encouraging and helpfull and have

personal experance to relate.
