come on act like a grown up

CDC funded page

Not a CDC funded Page

Ok people, Things are somewhat out of control and it is ridiculas. This is a site of support and help it is not a soap opera or a a schoolyard. Personally I am sick of the uncontroled rantings and peoples thinking that everyone is out to get them or whatever. I know that this has to stop we all need to support one another and that is that. No if ands or buts if you have a issue with someone take it elsewhere or better yet leave it alone. There is no law that says you have to responed to something that you dont like (is there). I have notices with all this stuff hanging in the background that alot of newcomers are not even getting replies to there posts and to be very honest how sad is that people are scared and and reaching out for help and because of all the crap and they said this or they did that or my feelings were hurt because (whatever) no one is responding to them so what the heck kinda support is that its not!! Come on be real no one has all mighty power here or is the school yard bully we are smart caring adults and human beings we all make mistakes and we need to be compassionate and understanding and if we cant be that then its a free world Leave the site or better yet stay and get over it and take the time to help those you think you can help and the info and support you can share and just ignor the ones that you cant get along with. I know that I have I.M. people and got no response did it hurt my feelings (no) because yoy know what maybe they didnt have anything to say back at the moment or they were reading or the computer wouldnt let them log out of the site and they went there anyway or My Lord maybe they were dealing with the life the have outside the computer and keyboard. You know there are really no clicks (no i didnt spell that right) there are friendships and like friendships in the real world some are strong and some grow some fade and some come to a deadend. I mean really if one friendship ends for what ever reason dont dwell on it or backstab go out there and make more friends and reilize that the friends you have have lifes and will be there when they can. Anyway I just would really like to see the support and help back again that was here for me when I joined because agian there are people not getting the support that they need because of foolish games. Know I am not talking about anyone in general this is just my opion and if someone reading it dosnt like it then Please feelfree to go on and read something else!! I would just like to make this a goood site for all and nothing more.

Assuming this post is

Assuming this post is referring to me, or at least to me too, and Epi-helps's post also? I agree. I realize my name was not mentioned, thank you both for that, but I'm sure it was aimed at me and should have been. I think, haven't double checked that I also wrote a second post stating I wanted to edit that post, I was going to remove my unnecessary and vindictive nastieness, but couldn't because I lack an edit feature, at least always on the first post of any thread, others too. After reading what I wrote I felt it served no one but me and did what I gripe about, caused discord in this community but once it was posted, without an edit button I couldn't remove it. I am sorry I disturbed your peace Pam,Epi-help and any others who didn't post that it did but might have been effected. Even if your thread itsn't aimed at me? I'm guilty and I take responsibility. I receive the slap on the hand with humility and apologize but once words are spoken they're very hard to take back. I'd like to ask epi_help's assistance in removing that entire post. She's gotten my main message now and the rest of it doesn't and shouldn't be there. That long paragraph, writing it at all, is the reason I had decided right now due to events in my personal life I shouldn't be posting because I know I'm too sensitive, riding on an emotional ridge I can't always control and I'm too reactive. I did find two threads I wanted to post on as I'm still reading, tried, but neither would "take". About 1/2 of any posts I type don't "take" until I try and try again but uusally they still won't post, as happened last night. Maybe that's a message? Some of my site problems I'm wondering might be my ancient but reconditioned computer altho again I have no problems on the other site I'm on, not related to E. I don't know. I'm computer stupid. I have re-evaluated and if only reading tempts me to post which it obviously did I should remove myself at least for now. I've goofed up twice now and let loose my large temper and that to me is a message to me. I'm sorry that paragraph couldn't be taken out by me, I would have, tried but couldn't, and I'm sorry I posted it to begin with and disturbed anyone's feelings. It's very easy for me to preach, not always easy for me to follow what I do preach. This isn't a good time for me to be posting and I'd already recognized that. Maybe here it never is because I've burned some bridges. Note I didn't mention others, I'm taking responsibility. I've slammed some doors in my own face and must face the music so again I apologize and hope that post can be removed as again, I can't do it. I'm sorry Pam and Epi_help. I said I knew I shouldn't be posting now and I was right obviously. I did get some posts up tho, I'm going to read responses to those and if I feel they need any response from me, I'll post on those, but that's it. No sour grapes. It's just a hard time for me and I tend to go off, which is never right. Gretchen

My post was not aimed at anyone. It was only to state that there are so many including you that need support without the added drama. I am concerned that this be a safe place for all no matter what. and that anyone reaching out has a hand to reach to. My post was just my observation and an opinon and that was all. I know that so many on this site have so much support and info to offer and would just like it to be easy for all to be able to do that.
