Though it's been said before, I'd like to add my two cents.
I think you're being a little thin-skinned. When you have people who have been on tx for 50, 60, 70, or 80 weeks and who have spent hours researching tx, etiology, and the rest, you have some people who are fairly knowledgeable. Most of us are also deep in tx, with its attendant physical and mental problems, let alone the normal human problems we all face.
In reading your posts, I don't see that people did more than comment or disagree with you. There is a difference between that and negativity, personal attacks, etc. You can't simply show up, announce you're an expert and expect us to hang on your every word. This is the Internet and just cause someone says it, don't make it so. Also, it doesn't work that way--one has to demonstrate expertise in order to be respected for it. And, there are legitimate differences of opinion about pretty much everything and if one of us has had a difference experience or knows something else, he/she is going to contribute.
I just did 43/48 last night and I feel like sh*t and and I'm angry and pissed off most of the time these days and I'm trying to stay positive and look towards the end of tx, but sometimes everything seems to conspire against it. I'm sorry you feel maligned and unappreciated and I am sorry that, you, too, are a fellow sufferer. We all welcome your input and your comments. We all have strong opinions and we express them, but we all care for each other and want us all to succeed. And, very few, if any, are resigned to helplessness, victimization, and negativity.
