Disturbing Posts

[Tri-guy]

I, for one, was taken back by the tone and language occurring in some of the recent posts over Christmas.  I have recommended this forum to other people I know with HCV and became embarrassed that I had after coming home from family and friends yesterday night and reading what was going on.

Anyone who is offended by the language that was on here, shouldn't read it. We all have the same disease, but different problems. Riba rage is something we don't understand or can't predict.I see you expect us to understand people that irritate us, so maybe you should do the same.   Joni

You're missing my point.  Language isn't my primary concern here.  It's about treating people with a reasonable degree of respect.  I'm irritated with you right now, so is it okay for me to call you a *****?  Of course not.  What kind of forum would this be if that was considered acceptable behavior?  You're defending the indefensible.

It is so refreshing to see that there are so many posts of people who don't try to justify insensitivity with their illness, tx or menopausal condition, also (not yet included) with having hot latin blood.  I could use all of them, but what is the point? Justification only.
Like Dh bill said, this site acts as a sanctuary to most of us, and those who wish to be controversial could consider building their own website: ragers or venters.com.  WE NEED HOPE not hate.

I also get annoyed with people that post questions on subjects answered just the day before, but some of us have been trying to search prior questions in this forum and  can't seem to access them.  I keep getting years old questions when clicking on archives, nothing in the current year.  For those of us who do try to research a question before posting, how do we go back in the forum (say Jan or Feb?)

okay everyone....once and for all....i think whats happening here is things have spirlled WAY outta control..and maybe those responding here are doing so only seeing a small peice of the on going  conversations with catglo..if you re-read ALL the posts from beginning with "catglo" you will clearly see, i,  as well as many others new-sojorn included, responded very lovingly several times over........yes susan, i agree with you and when i woke today, after 2 terrible dreams about my loss of control, and cutting words i felt ashamed of myself...sadly, guess the huge lesson here for me is not to so quickly push that POST COMMENT botton, when i am motivated by any kind of impatience or anger, (riba or otherwise)....it can be hurtful and a BIG MISTAKE, sadly, once pushed, we can't retrieve it, even though within moments we wish we could, take it back...it is there to hurt, and for all the world to see..LESSON LEARNED!...now, if you read my post this morning, i clearly acknowledge responsibility for my words and do admit my delivery was very harsh an DO apolise for the laungage...there also were some very other horrible things said here that have NOT been acknowledged...by space coast, telling me to "kiss his ass, and don't come back"....and kennedges horrible words to new-sojourn as well..we are all accountable for our words, sometimes they come out faster than the good judgement that should guide them....etc etc. i do humbly apoligise for my impatience and very poor taste and judgement...and thank you eyedeas...how beautifully simple., i could have choosen to just NOT RESPOND...i didn't...and clearly have injured feelings...i can't erase what has happened...(and i STILL FEEL similar as i did about WHAT i said...but...HOW I SAID IT WAS HORRIBLE....for that i am truely sorry...i should know better..catglo, i apoligise, these are powerful drugs and althugh it can not be considered an excuse for poor behaviour, there are other things at play here that you can't understand as you are not infected with this and are not being treated with these horrible drugs that can at times do strange things to our better judgement...if you RE-READ the posts, you will CLEARLY SEE that you really are not in ANY danger, NOR is your child!!.PEACE!
