OT - Has Anyone Told Ya'll Lately...
That ya'll are amazing and awesome!!!!!!!!!
I mean that!!! Supportive, caring, huggy, even a bit smoochy at times!!! I would be willing to bet there have been times when this group may have seriously saved someones sanity or even more than that. ================================================== ========== .... In addition to this ng and a few book ngs, I read a medical ng that has actually provided a few small bits of helpful info so far... but tonight after wading through tons of angry, vicious, nasty msgs it was just all too much. I started to revert to old bbs flaming and toast someone (for attacking someone I don't even 'know')... but older and wiser and all that and I 'walked' away! Then maybe not so much wiser! I went back and responded... without name calling and hopefully intelligently and I pray I won't ever give into the urge to toast again!!! I did learn to killfile in Mozilla though and will give a that ng a few more days... Its sad because a couple of people there seem to offer good information and conversations but man... are some people that freaking miserable????? sorry... ranting over... recovery now begins!!!!

Since I've been lurking and occasionally participating over the past few months, I have to say that it's the warmest and least snarky group I've ever seen! ================================================== ========== ...

Polly ===== Another group I participate in went through quite a snark fest around new years, and I confess to being in the middle of it. But I got something important out of it, as well - an understanding of why a particular poster often really ****es me off to the point of feeling like I just have to jump in and defend her targets when she gets snotty and insulting. I finally realized that her "tone" brought back childhood memories of the way my dad would "fight" when we disagreed, or put me down when he was mad at me. I figured out that I was really reacting to his voice in my head. And that was the key - *re*acting. With understanding comes more choice in my responses, now. And yes, I think there are some people who are that freaking miserable. FurPaw -- Sleep is the best meditation. - Dalai Lama To reply, unleash the dog |

I avoided most family 'stuff' when I was a kid (youngest of 5 and totally a loner) but come to think of it... there is something in her tone thats *is* eerily familiar... and worse than nails on a blackboard. But I am her target now so she is leaving some others alone and I can deal with (ignore) that. Snarking? Good name. I am so obviously a newbie still! And yes, I think there are some people who are that freaking miserable. Thats so sad, when there are others who manage to live through devastating pain, and yet share the goodness that is them instead ... take care Polly ===== |

I agree completely. Even when we break into spats, it's more like
siblings quarrelling and not like the incredible nasty behavior that I find on other NGs. Oddly, the medical and the alt.support.* are the worst of the worst, it seems!
