d-okayyyyyyyy... I was NOT blasting you Gobo!!!! If you chose to take it

that way, so be it. But~ FOR THE RECORD I was NOT attacking YOU!!! I do

not get pleasure out of hurting someones feelings!!! I would continue

offering YOU support just as much as the next person, you have completely

misconstrued my message, and chosing to disconnect yourself as a result is a

terrible loss. I was in NO way attacking YOU.

To EVERYONE:

I get the message!

" We are a support group "

Apparently in name only, not in function.

" Why are any of us choosing to stop supporting? "

I am astounded that my effort to make some intelligent

suggestions is perceived as intentionally stopping my support of

a fellow member in need.

" We can have different opinions, and still support one another,

can't we? "

Apparently not as you, , and have made clear to me.

I'm confused but most especially, I'm hurt that I would be

criticized so heavily. I didn't judge Deb or flame anyone or use

offensive language. All I did was try to offer some constructive

suggestions to make someone feel better while she is going

through an ordeal.

I mistook this group for being interactive. That was my mistake.

This is really nothing more than listening in on a party line where

you hear what others have to say and passively say, " thanks for

sharing " but never offer anything back in return.

It may interest you to know what you have accomplished. Maybe

I'm overly sensitive to criticism; I'm willing to own that. But

you've effectively created an atmosphere where I am unwilling to

EVER speak up again with the exception of defending myself as I

am in this post. No more will I post anything in response to

someone else. The hurt of that is, that's how we establish

relationships with one another. That's how we reach out and

how others reach us. I'm hurt but at least you who want people to

only post according to your vision of what should and shouldn't

be said have the triumph of 'winning'.
