Michelle, I do believe Donovan got my joke, which is fine because it was in no way intended for you.
Sure Allie, I can address it.
I've helped tons of people too. But that's not exactly what I am discussing here. I am discussing the things going on the forums, not who you emailed with this and that. I think when you first came on here, you were helpful, shared a lot about yourself and opened up to something that was very difficult. If you look in your archive PM's, you will see that you and I did talk-a good deal of talking actually and you gave me some adoption information and other things. What I was talking about today was this crap that's been going on the last few months. The comments, the disrespect (and again, you and some others may not see it as disrecpect, but I do, and a few others do as well-None of us are always going to agree). You talk about being brutally honest with others and if they can't handle it they are at the wrong place.... it seems though that when the shoe is on the other foot, you become the exception.
I don't know if what you said about crying and being hurt was sarcasm or sincerity. Either way, it was not my intention to do that to you, but I had to finally be honest about how I was feeling about the behaviors and comments on this board. NOw you understand what it is like to be the recipient of such treatment. Not my intention to march out and be rude to you, because if it was, I wuld have choosen some other choice words and comments. But in the context of my message, I did hurt you. Do you see how you do this to others. I am not telling you to sugarcoat things, but for once, stop and think that just as you want others to treat you sensitively, you ought to do the same to others?!?
