I agree with Sue that complaints should be taken up privately. It's frustrating that the unspoken rule of the schoolyard (i.e. "never say anything unless you're sure that everyone agrees with you") is rampantly applied around here.
Some people benefit from a no-holds barred approach, others take it personally. Some need to be validated at every turn, and others need straight talk that cuts through the baloney (or bologna, if you prefer). Personally, if I feel I need a certain degree of sympathy/empathy, I send a direct email or PM to a person or two I know will come alongside me and validate my point of view.
The contacts I have made through this site, for that very purpose, make my experience on cysticfibrosis.com a good one.
