LOL Have to laugh here Mom would be shocked "me quoting her" because this was her response to me telling her I didn't need her advice when I was a young adult. too funny.   she was so right and her words have stayed with me thru my life.
Hope you have a wonderful time away.

the only sheriffs here are Cindy and Phillip , everybody else, including me, are members and contributors.  The rules for the forum can be read in the Terms and conditions(link at the top of the home page). You can also read the history behind Med Help, quite inspiring.  
I do not understand begging someone to stay that has not said is leaving. No one ran anyone off, two people made suggestions to a person that might not have been to his liking so he decided to take a break. Unfortunately, by announcing it each time, a turmoil is created that is unwarranted. THis happens time and again in this forum, and most of the time you only see the newcomers begging, because the older members have seen it before and know that those that truly leave, never announce it.

In any case, have fun with whatever rules you want to follow, whatever helps while on tx, do it. THis is an open forum for hepatitis and its related issues, and anyone is afforded an opinion.

There is always going to be a favorite person, for whatever reason, at different generations of the Hep forum.
THis site can be a lifeline to many on tx, newly dx, or those waiting. People come and go as they choose and need, it is the nature of the forum. Make it work for you.
take care

Jim will be back.  This is not the first time he's taken a break.

It's not the first time there have been big arguments or name calling or whatever. This is a public internet FORUM so everyone is not always going to agree on anything and you HAVE to be able to share your opinion and then walk away.

Recently I was very upset with someone so I just x'd out of the forum for a few days so I could calm down. No big pronouncements of leaving, just did what was best for me.

After a couple of days I wasn't so mad anymore and came back to help support new people.

It's the way of the world around here. Cindy and Phil do an INCREDIBLE job of dealing with all our childish ways and keep this forum on track.

I wish there was something I could do to help them as much as they've helped us all.

funny you should say that...after a couple years of procrastinating, I finally made a donation to the organization. Small, but I am sure any little bit helps.
