First off, I'm sorry if bringing this up is like beating a dead horse. Several months ago I had enough of the flame wars and made a public post stating that I'd never long onto this site again.
I did today, for the first time since, and I just wanted to thank the two of you (kayleesgrandma and BelEAche) for sending me private messages. You two seem like incredibly kind people who go out of your way to show people that you care-- even me, a nameless person on the Internet.
I don't post often, but I have in the past really valued some of the opinions and experiences of people on this site. I decided to check back to see if things had changed much. I certainly stand by what I said about being completely turned-off to this site because people are incredibly careless and rude. It does seem at a second glance (and I think I have been a consistent, though lurking, member here for a few years) that there is more positive than negative. This certainly does provide a supportive space for people.
I do not come here to see people attack eachother, argue about things, be caddy or unfriendly. 99% of the time when I log on to this site it is because I am having a really difficult CF day and I just want to read words from people who understand first hand. I come here on those days to find support and some solace in a safe place. When I log in and find negative remarks back and forth, not only do I not want to log back in, but I continue to have a bad day, if not worst because of the negativity.
Thank you, kayleesgrandma and BelEAche! You are two wonderful and kind people. Thank you for getting me involved in the community again and pointing out that not everyone has bad intentions (and even when some people come off as having bad intentions, they do not). I hope to become more active in the community, thanks to you!
