Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 I apologize if this gets posted twice but hotmail keeps delaying the sending of my messages so I am going to start using my home email: Viau@... I sent this message yesterday and it has still not been delivered. Once you have been on this list for awhile you realize that members come and go but the one thing constant you can count on is someone taking some kind of offense in something you say. Then that one sentence gets quoted over and over and the frenzy starts. We are all very sensitive people. All of us have waded through every rude comment known to man. We have been critized, chastized and embarrassed to death. Because of this, a trigger of any kind can start up an all out war on this group. Everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting for insurance approval, consult dates, surgery dates and so on. So, take a deep breath and walk away from the computer and do not give someone that you do not even know the power to hurt you. From my experience (and I have had plenty, you fall a lot when you first start walking), the best way to handle this kind of thing is to post your thoughts to the person privately. Prevents others from jumping on the bandwagon, so to speak. Sandy, your experiences at Dr 's did not negate anyone elses experiences. Nor did their experiences negate yours. They were yours and I for one could not wait for you to come home and tell us. We have been supporting you and pulling for you for a long time and to read the energy and hope in your post was like seeing a ray of sunshine after a long bout of grey days. Do not get offended but just blow off the negative cause you only need positive thoughts in you life right now. Just remember that everyone experiences things in different ways. No right or wrong there just different experiences. We have different personalities and certain personalities do not get along. Like baking soda and venigar. Mix the two together and see what happens. Sometimes that is just what this group is like. My advice to everyone on this list is to not allow yourself to get personally involved with a message. If someone says something to offend you just blow it off. Or go private. It is not necessary to give your public opinion on an offensive post. You know what they say about opinions...... . Freedom of speech is a right guaranteed in our constitution but knowing when to speak is a graceful art. What you bring to the conversations is usually what you take away.
