Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi S- It's fine to use humor to try to cope with this wretched disease. What I've found is that the email venue is missing inflection and, quite often, people misunderstand what we're trying to say. What's not OK is becoming belligerent when someone misunderstands or disagrees with what you have to say as has already happened. I, for one, will not tolerate one member abusing another in silence. Misunderstandings and disagreements occur fairly often on this board and they aren't going to go away. Take care, dx & RAI 1987 (at age 24) > Excuse me, but what's this supposed to mean S?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 why direct this to me? you must be dreamin' or somethin' cuz last i checked i am an adult who is very capable of handling my own affairs. you seem to want to police the board with comments like this, which do...? do what? further your own agenda as to what's right and wrong, for little ol' julie. you cannot leave good enough alone, and i pity those who are close to you. also, if people dont understand something, as adults we are taught to ask FOR CLARIFICATION- WE CANT HAND-HOLD EVERYONE ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE LIKE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT BEING SPOON FED, ALWAYS further, i use humor *all* the time, not just with graves' disease, which isn't always wretched when one takes control and gets healthy.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Dear S, Please treat all list members with respect. To not do so causes stress, which causes Graves' to become worse. Some of us have had the misfortune of becomming ill due to such events, and I am sure that is not your intent. I only wish to help you understand us better. Yes, even e mail can get to a person. Some times the best response is none at all. Thank you, -Pam L- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
