My 6 Years on this Board

My humble opinionI have been around this place for close to 6 years. That doesn't make my opinion the best, but maybe I have a little bit of entitlement to say this;ONE of the reasons people leave this board is the constant fighting by people. For the life of me I cannot understand why people would air their grievances on the community forum and not do this thru a PM. That is what a PRIVATE MESSAGE is for. You can use it for encouragement, disagreements, scary questions, personal info, pickup attempts :cool: ............... That is why the wise creators of this place created it. (thanks John)99% of us are NOT a trained professional in the medical field. We have had a few (i.e. Kit) and the funny thing is NOBODY argued with them. We have some knowledge based on a billion hours on the internet and countless doctor appointments, but when you add up all that info throw in opinions, second hand info, personal opinions AND personal emotions(pride) it can add up to some strong and sometimes misguided posts.Remember that EVERYONE here (except for the scammers) is here because we have a medical issue that effects are lives. Try to remember how scared, and or confused you were when you first showed up. Somebody(s) took the time to reassure you that you do not have als or something sinister.I have seen a LOT of fights on this board. Honestly they all look the same. For some reason all sides forget that they may be running off vets AND more importantly confusing newbies. I will never take a side in a fight. I may give my opinion, but I will not become a Hatfield or McCoy. If everyone would either; 1.) Put down their pride OR 2.) Use the PMer things would be lots nicer around here.Sigh :whistle: :whistle: I guess this post may fall on deaf eyes. I wish everyone well and my prayer is that you all get along and put down your pride. Try not to take someone's bait.The fames Zig Zigler said; "When you give ground in a fight, all you lose is dirt"God blessDD
 
Yea I have to agree with you. I have been stupid enough to be one of these posters and I am ashamed of it now. All I was doing at first was trying to back up a friend and it escalated into a childish argument from both of us. It ended up with me joking around and thats not what this place is about.I apologize to all I offended and I will not partake in these kind of actions again. This place and certain people on here have got me out of a dark place, and when I find myself back there I can always come back for help. God Bless Randy
 
Well said DD. I am glad that you have stuck around and have not left the board as so many vets do. I hope that this board can continue to be a support system that has helped me and so many others and many that are just starting their journey. We really do need each other.As Rodney King said "Can't we all just get along."Shelly
