I've yet to find out why Julie decided to take it upon herself to point me out.
Julie, I'm sorry you think that way about me. I can name tons of people I've helped, I jus normally don't feel the need to do it because I don't have to wear that on my sleeve. If Pms and emails have been sent around about me, then why aren't they coming out of the woodowrk now, with names, with strength? People of cowardice, I cannot be bothered with.
I have counseled a widow, widower, and several parents who have lost Cfers. I have given end of life information to around ten people according to my sent emails, probably more through other means. I have sent high calorie recipes to around 6, and baby food to 3. I have helped 3 people with adoption questions. I talk frequently to other Cfers and talk to them about anything that's on thier mind, sorry I don't remember exactly what.
I don't ask people to defend me. They just do. Maybe they don't feel I'm as useless to the forum as you do. I am not fake, in the least. I am only what I am. I'm sorry you don't care for it.

I never became a regular member of this board because of some of the things Julie is pointing out, or should I say 2 of the people? Anyways I belong to another board with a much friendly more welcoming mix of people, and I'm not the one who made the other post on the family section..I wouldn't put a link to my group, for fear the we would get someone who turns the board into their personal blog....**Pats Julie on the back** it's about time. Maybe now that the board is being sponsered they will try to make it into a more welcoming place for cfers and family.</end quote></div>
You might be surprised how welcoming we are. Just because you don't like hearing what we have to say doesn't mean we're not welcoming or helpful. Look around, I help people any chance I get. So chill out.
For the other anon, you're not talking to a wall. I read and consider everything that's been posted here. I just don't agree. Just because I don't change my mind and say "yes massa" doesn't mean I don't listen to and consider what's being said.

I haven't stated I hate anyone, others such as Littledebbie are the ones who have stated "there it is, I don't like you and you don't like me" and put words in my mouth. I don't like the posting that has been going on from those particular people for a while now, I never said anything about THEM. There is a difference. You can love a person but dislike their behavior.</end quote></div>
ARE YOU SERIOUS??????? LOL! Julie, now you are just protecting your behind. If you were bold enough to start that thread why draw the line now? And for the record the ONLY thing I don't like about you is the way you act like you OWN the Forum.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing with her post for it's base content that has made so many roll their eyes. It's that she supposedly hates squabling and drama and bickering, and then turns around and creates the mother of all drama spawners. I've known she has disliked me for a while now, and i've known others have disliked me, it means absolutely zero to me. I'm a guy, and I have thick skin and realize tons of people won't get along. I come here to mellow out, see what's up, offer some advice where i should, and for the rest of the time I just have my feet in the pool and i'm drinking a beer amusing myself. Not everyone is going to spend their time on here the same way. But if you have CF, a child with CF, a loved one with CF, or a mate with CF, you have the right to be here just like anyone else. As long as you don't break any of the common sense rules (posting pornography, extreme real life threats, and other no brainers), you have no reason to feel like you don't belong here.
She is entitled to her opinion, but just like everything else, all opinions when given, have repurcushions. Her opinion within this context means absolutely squat to me, but apparently others care. The sun will set tonight, i'll have to work, and never think about Julie unless someone asks me something about her. Then the sun will rise, i'll be home, and i'll go to bed and sleep like a rock.
Others were hurt, one or two apparently pretty bad. Instead of bringing back whatever state of the forum she wanted to bring back (no drama, no bickering, whatever), she did the direct opposite. Signs of a real brain surgeon there.

Really, your replies has only cemented the two things I have left to say to you.
1. Bite me. I had no problem with you before this. Congratulations on furthering the divide on the boards.
2. I hope you're proud of yourself for hurting people when they needed comfort. It's nice to see that you have compassion for the new posters but none for the existing.</end quote></div>
uuuummm... i'm assuming you were refering to me... just harmless fun to lighten the mood... sorry, didn't mean to offend... but that seems to be the trend as of recently...
and no... i'm not proud of hurting people...that couldn't be further from the trueth... that is not me and as someone who has seen his' share of suffering i have compassion for the existing as well as the new members... might not seem like it in a post or two but the trueth... really

I'm getting to it Liz, sorry... a lot of questions for me today.
My biggest problem with what I think are rude/out of line/time inappropriate comments are pretty much the same as what I stated for Allie. For all the people that I mentioned that I have a problem with the postings lately, they are all the same. You guys post one after the other, repeating what the previous person in the "posse" just said, only putting your own little twist on it. There's been a lot of negative or sly comments where there don't need to be-by yourself and the others I mentioned. What I don't understand is why you (and some others) don't just come out with it. Instead of the childish sarcams, how about addressing the real issue? Also, a lot of taking away from posts that others have started. Hence why I didn't address the issue today in charolett's thread but started another one. I've been guilty of it before, but once it was pointed out, I decided it was rude. It's all just bottled up over the past few months and today I finally had it. Being that I've been feeing this frustration towards you and others for some time now, I cannot recall every single incident (which is my own fault) but I can recall the situations/scenarios that I mentioned above which I feel are disrecpectufl to those affected and make people feel unwelcome. You guys are like the "attacking posse".
That's where my problem lies.

Donovan, I'm almost 100% sure Michelle (miesl) was talking to Julie, not you. Just FYI.

Well hell. At least we know what to call ourselves now. Attacking Posse. AP. Allie, you teach AP English right? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
Terrible joke, sorry. Had to.
Terrible joke, sorry. Had to.
Littledebbie,
I'm not drawing the line back and protecting my behind. I have no need to protect myself from anything, there is no harm you or anyone else on this board can cause me.
There is a difference, as I've already stated about disliking one's behavior and disliking a person. Maybe the word "hate" isn't as harsh to you as it is to me, but in my family and my circle of friends, "hate" is a really strong word and that is why I am correcting those who assume that I "hate" those whom I mentioned. I don't even know you well enough to like or dislike you as a person. I do know that I don't like your posts lately, same reasons I mentioned for Allie and the lizard queen.
If you feel like I act like I own the forum, your opinion. But I don't feel that way, just so you understand that. I do feel that people have the right, especially the NEWER people, to come here and not be attacked, to ask questions and get the answers to their questions. I do feel that people new or old on this forum have a right to ask questions and not be attacked by what I am now calling the "posse", consisting of you, and the others I mentioned going around saying the same (usually attacking or disrespectful, snyde comments) things.

Apparently you do, because you have atleast twice made open suggestions that "I will pay" for something that I have said that you didn't care for, like you have the power to ban me.

Well then that would be your assumption wouldn't it Sean, but I never stated anything about having the power to ban you. There are other ways to make a person pay, although I've all but lost interest in you because you aren't much of a challenge.
That's beside the point though.

RoyalPrince, my comment was in no way directed at you.
Julie, it was entirely meant for you. And you little "but if you want to take this one, feel free to do so" with the smilie was irritating and rude. It's nice to see you take my opinion so lightly as to brush it off upon others.

I haven't been around much lately and when I am I kinda just quickly scan the threads so I guess I am not up to date with what is going on now. I was jut wondering Julie what exactly is bothering you? I have seen a lot of Allie's and Emily's posts and don't find them to be anything but truthful and Allie is a very nice woman and I have always liked her posts and found her to be very caring. I guess I just don't get what's going on. And Allie I can't believe it's only been year since Ry has passed. I am very sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm smarter than the average bear. You making a point that "My behavior won't be tolerated", and "You will pay", directly following a discussion about banning people doesn't have to be interpreted by Einstein to get their jist. Keep thinking that you have more clout than the rest of us, being delusional in life helps to take the sting away. You are just another member of the forum, nothing more. And if your point of "There are other ways to make someone pay" wasn't about flexing your imaginary E-peen, then it was a weak attempt at another threat, which you should realize isn't considered being "nice" on the board. I didn't come down with the rain last tuesday, and I put my kid gloves on when I come here. Realize that you put your foot in your mouth and move on, while you still have some slight face to save.
