shocked at how people talk to each other on this site

Hi Guys,
I'm sorry I'm not on here more often to get to know people. I do see how people grow close to one another and maybe I've appeared distant. However, any free time I have I try to spend with my son because I'm pretty ill and most of my day is spent sleeping, attached to a feeding tube, having chest PT and doing nebs.
</end quote>

See, now this is nothing to apologize for. I, personally, wasn't saying HOW DARE YOU. People's lives are different. If you've got a son, I think it's far more sensible for you to be with him rather than here. Julie used to be here a lot more often than she does now since she has 3 children. I was just making an observation about how things work. People in general are more likely to respond to the losers (like myself) that are here all the time than people that drop in from time to time.

LOL, Emily - I hardly think you're a loser because you hang out here, but I agree with you about priorities; everyone's are different. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Amy/Sasuka: You are extremely intelligent and you have so much to offer to this site. Your arguments hold A LOT of value, but you lose credibility in your delivery. Instead of walking away thinking, "Wow, Amy said something really intelligent.", people walk away thinking, "Why did she have to be so blunt or insensitive or defensive?"

</end quote></div>

I would suggest first and foremost that you be open minded and understanding of other people's means of communication.

I think your statement above shows how unaccepting you are of people's differences. Very narrow-minded. You should be welcoming of all expressions and less judgemental.



Here's the bottomline. I post information here and if you care to take it to improve your health, then good for you.

If you chose to not listen to the information because of the delivery, quite frankly, it's your loss.

I post because as I've said so many times, this site has given me so much. It would be a waste, in my opinion, for me not to do what I can to make others aware of what I have discovered/researched/encountered. Why re-invent the wheel?

But really if you chose not to listen to me, for whatever reason, it doesn't have a consequence to my health. You're only punishing yourself.

Now if you don't agree with my research/information/science, then not listening to me is of no loss to you. So no harm no foul.

But you're punishing yourself and missing out on pretty powerful information (it has been powerful for my health, and i know many many on this site) if you chose to not check it out.

That's the bottom line.

I'm not trying to attack you, but I'm older than you and have a little more life experience under my belt, both professionally and personally. </end quote></div>

This makes me laugh. You're trying to talk about how to deliver information. Telling someone "oh, i'm older than you and I have much more experience than you" is just a riot.

If you had such experience, there's no way you would frame your argument this way because you would know that talking down to someone and declaring yourself better because of your age rarely works.
