The lost of some members , a reason for concern............
Just read the post by 52tele about not returning to the forum. Since the thread was maxed out, I decided to start this one instead of taking away from someone else's thread.
Tele I'm sorry you won't be posting anymore and wish you will still return here when you need too.
I do agree that there are some here that seems to attack others, or post things that offend others. Who knows why some members do this, maybe riba rage, maybe feeling ill or maybe it's just their personality.
However, this forum has been a life saver for me and others, as I'm 4 weeks post tx I'm not on as much as I use to be but I'm still here to try and help those who need it, like I did.
Some times we all need to ignore those that post things we don't agree with or dislike and try to understand where it's coming from. Some just want to hurt some here and others just want to get a rise out of us.
I just hope that we don't lose any more members because of this. This forum has helped many and needs to continue to do so.
May the stronge continue to carry the weak through this ride of a life time called tx..........May God speed and show use away to over come this.

Lots of the back and forth I think is created because people want to get their intent across and not be misinterpreted but on the net it is nearly impossible to do that, it's like trying to type with your hands tied behind your back!
I figure just try to take the best and leave the rest and hopefully someday I will be SVR and this place will be somewhere to stop by occasionally and give everyone a hearty "hang in there" and remind them it does end.
It's a hard treatment to be sure, but there are lots of difficult treatments for many diseases that don't come with guarantees or 100% cure rates so I figure, hey, this is the card I was dealt and try to hack it the best way I can.
My goodness you take things I have never even heard of! Not sure if I'd swallow hydrocloric acid!
How are you handling this great weather? Just gorgeous here, has it been hot down there? I can't take the heat normally but on tx, NO WAY! My little factory that sews for me is down there off the 10 and it gets so broiling hot there I don't know how they can work in it. 8 months to go and I can be back to driving to LA in the heat and traffic again, yippee LOL
I have not frequented any board but here but it does seem like the internet is a playground with no consequences for Aholes and I agree we are lucky we don't have lots more of 'em.
Hope you are feeling good and life is pleasant.

I agree with what BB and others have said more ways than one. When someone Like Coast posts and is trying to start trouble I know it is wise to just not respond and not fuel the fire. I also understand what Tele52 said as to getting reconnected with family and friends. Many times I am reading and am truely amazed of the friendship that has been forged by this site. I also realize my husband more than once has made a comment that I have been on the PC to much lately. In that respect I understand Tele completly. I do hope that Tele52 reconnects with his family and friends and that he finds us again when the time is right to let us know that he is doing just fine. All....thanks for being there. As you know this beast makes you feel like you can not connect with others that do not have this disease even if they try and understand.
Kalio: yeah, I just try to look at the bright side of all of this mish mash...to get a bunch of individuals with their own individual personalities and backgrounds to agree on a whole lot would be like trying to herd cats...
For a mostly unmoderated board I'm surprised this does as well as it does in terms of "going smoothly" - whatever that means...the managers here provide a good service, and I guess it's up to us to prevent total civil chaos, ha ha!
But my funniest story of all in cyber space is once when I was first diagnosed, and I thought, why are these people talking about hep c and dragons all the time? After awhile I thought hep c meant dragon "in code", I can be soooo thick sometimes...
So one night I was pretty upset after reading some hep c experiences, and I went to this Dragon site on Delphi, and they all said hi, how are you? (now I know they were probably rapidly reading my profile) and I started in whining about just being diagnosed, I was soooo scared, blah blah, all the usual, and they all started talking about sexual stuff and whips and chains .... (and I thought, whoa, where am I?) and that being submissive might help out my weird disease....I'm like WHAT????
So they saw my pic, and they told me, even though I was soooo old, they would let me stay cause I looked a lot younger in my pic, ha ha! (how generous of them!!) I couldn't get out of there fast enough!!! I had stumbled on to some SadoMasochism site that was named Dragon something or other, ha ha ha ha!!!!And I thought the dragon meant it had something to do with hep C!!!!!ha ha! Now I just stay with a few political blogs that have some film talk, they are mostly 35 to middle aged and mannerly....
It's really pretty wild out there in cyber space, these kids nowadays! As they said in Bye Bye Birdie!...I've often told you youre lucky to live in Santa Barbara, I'm glad youre enjoying it...yeah, wicked hot here, 87...take really good care of yourself and keep out of the sun if need be...
Way: please don't let certain individuals keep you away if you really need this site, belive me, the people who manage to stay and gather the good stuff....become really adept at letting things go when they need to, you have to develop a pretty tough hide, especially on a site like this with little to no moderation....there are a lot of helpful people here if you need them....what's that saying, take what you need and leave the rest behind? that applies doubly to websites...Be well and take care...the pooch wants out! gotta go...

I sure hope you post any questions about anything here. nothings too dumb, believe me. i've asked lots of "stupid" questions. but that's the beauty of it. you can ask anything you want. to people that know what you're going through. so feel free and take care. tracy
I opened this thread and had know idea that something had happened here on the forum. I was just up set that 52tele was leaving and was trying to keep everyone here together for the same cause, to beat this virus. Could someone please tell me what I missed as I haven't been on much, what has been going on that so many are up set about.
