How tacky of you to post on this family section Liz, after you suggested people who are sensitive ought to stick here. Seems as though they/we are adhering to your suggestion, how about you eat your own advice?

Plus, before you post here, maybe you should remove your sig or post anonymously since you can't remove it just once.

Ok, I don't think the families section is necessarily a more friendly place than the adult section. I do think that if you're not familar with this forum it has the potential for being a bit intimidating. Lots of us have been here a while and know the drill but newbies could be in for a shock if we don't all start exhibiting some sensitivity.

In general, everyone is here to help. Liz has insight into what it's like to be a kid and an adult with CF. Julie has the scoop on being a spouse to a CFer and her specialty, IVF. Allie knows the pain of finding your soul mate and watching him die from this dreadful disease. Sean is our resident expert on OO and has a great sense of humor. The list goes on. We're all valuable in our own way. Some days we're more valuable than others and some days well, we just get on each others nerves. One big dysfunctionally happy family!

<b>I was only trying to be helpful. I was trying to offer an alternative to the adult section for parents who don't want to hear certain things. I never once said that they should "stick to the family section". I suggested the family section as an alternative to ask questions about your kids. If you didn't understand me then I'm sorry that you didn't. You really read too much into my suggestion. So if you think me tacky, then that's fine, because your opinion in the grand scheme of things makes no difference to me. Tonight when I go to sleep, I'll have forgotten just how insulting you sounding calling me tacky, when in fact I was just trying to be genuine. I'm sorry if you didn't understand the sentiment behind my initial comment. That's the problem with the internet - you can never get feelings across, and people sometimes misunderstand you.</b>


Plus, before you post here, maybe you should remove your sig or post anonymously <b>"since you can't remove it just once"</b>. <b>- What can't I remove once? My post? I'm not understanding you're "I can't remove it once"</b>

<b>Why should I post anonymously? I'm not ashamed of what I write. I always think before I post. I believe my statement of "sugar coating breeds unrealistic hope." - its true. Someone tells you your kid has CF, and you ask your doc, will my child die of this disease. Your doctor then says, probably not. By the time your kid is old enough they will be able to control the disease. And that's all the doc tells you, not that sure they may be able to control it, but there is the chance that they will die of it, because that's how it stands right now. NOw you have unrealistic hope in you, because your doctor didn't mention the dieing part. So I'm not removing that part of my signature.

As for the "Proud card carrying member of the "Attack Posse" - I'm not ashamed of putting that either. It was a joke. Julie said that I'm always attacking people, which I don't. I've never attacked, so I put it in as a joke. I'm sorry that you don't share my sense of humour. Oh well.

And the "Wounding the inner child of others since 11/05." That was a joke too. I'm sorry that I again offended you. But it was a joke. I was planning on having it on there for the day, and then getting rid of it. According to Julie, I attack people, I'm mean to them, I'm sarcastic to them all the time, etc. It seems that my honesty isn't welcome there either, so my whole "inner child" thing, was me having fun about how some people on here are being childish.</b>

<b>I really don't know why people are attacking me. I've never once been rude to people or disrespected them. If anything, the people who are attacking me are being rude. I've been on here since NOvember of last year, and this is the first time that someone has attacked me. No one has ever had a problem with me, and if they did, I'd like to think that they would PM it to me, and not post anonymously. I've offered a ton of advice for parents of CFers on here, and adults on here as well. I've been through what your kids are going through, so I can offer advice in this section, and I'm free to post in this section. Just like all family members are allowed to post in the adult section. All I was saying, is that if you don't like the adult section, then don't post there. Don't get yourself working up over stuff you don't like, and continue on to the family section.</b>

Hmm... I believe I was supportive and tried to be nice somewhere in there. I'll keep in mind next time, that it's not appreciated.

I don't think the family board is necessarily a happy sugar coated world. Been bashed here a number of times for stating my opinion or asking a for clarifiation on a topic.

And I don't think it helps anyone here to draw lines in the sand -- comments like 'adults section is only for adults wcf' -- doesn't make it a very supportive place. Maybe it wasn't meant that way, but that's the way it sounded and time and time again it comes up. Parents of CFers, stay away, you don't belong here?! Maybe that wasn't the intention...

There's a lot of information and misinformation out there about CF and I think it's helpful to be able to talk to cfers about their experiences, symptoms, medication, treatment. It's helpful to talk to spouses and parents wcf. If someone hijacks a thread, names names, rambles on and on about how wonderful they are --- ignore it. Why give them anymore attention. yawwwn!

No war here.



There's a big difference between adults with CF and parents of young CFers. That's why the family section was made. For you guys. The adult section is going to talk about a lot more in-depth stuff that you aren't dealing with yet. A lot more moderate/severe stuff. It's generally not stuff you're dealing with yet, and generally not stuff you're <i>able</i> to deal with yet. That's your deal. If you prefer to go somewhere else, that's fine. But that's what the family section here is for. It's generally a lot less dramatic and pissy because it was made just for people like you. The other section is more for people like us. And if you can't relate or don't want/need to hear it, then maybe sticking to this section, or your other site, would be best.</end quote></div>


Or perhaps people like you should go to the teenage section, not the adult perhaps that would be more appropriate? Especially Sean Davis.

And I reckon you would be more welcome on the "Too Spineless to post a name" forum. You are the reason there shouldn't be anonymous posting. You are posting things to continue drama and stir up trouble with people who DO have useful things to say. Since I have no idea what you may have posted in the past, all I know is you are posting useless crap now. It's enough.

I still think some of the anon's are member(s) who aren't signing on just to stir up trouble. Nobody is adding anything new to this topic, or the other one. Maybe it's time to get on to other things. Talking about CF.

If you want, you can save your log-in so that anytime you visit the site, you're automatically signed in. I think that option is in your profile. (Up top where all the links are to things like: new topic, profile, help, etc). I do it that way, it's very convenient. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Seriously, you know how this looks? Yesterday the bickering was over there, now it's in here. Why don't you guys stop it already?

Just go back to the adult forum, carry on as usual. I say that only b/c it's obvious this is going as nowhere as the threads yesterday. Your points have been made once again.

Is it possible to drop it? Maybe not. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">

It really doesn't shed a pretty light, the fact that this is continuing. It's a reflection of what?.....Maybe practice biting your tongues. That's what I've learned to do for the most part here now. It's helped a little bit when I see disrespect.

(my 2 cents)

Never mind, I mispoke. I apologize.

So does anyone here watch the TV show LOST? Can you believe that episode last night....OMG didn't see that coming!!!!
<br>
Yes, I'm trying to hijacking this thread...I think it needs hijacking!!!! All on board!!!???

For once, the hijacking of it might be a good idea. It started out ok, but I think it's no longer the point Melissa was trying to make/share with others and I think everyone's stated their opinions.

I didn't see Lost, actually, never have but do you watch house? I though the 2 night special was good. Kept me interested.

Whats on Thursday nights anyways? Mark always finds the shows, he's not here today so I'm lost <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
