Jenn, you are so right. Chris knows he messed up, and is apoligetic for what he said in some of his posts. I dont think he knew people would asuume he was "judging" them. Good job Jenn, I like your post.

Okay, no one I know here brings outside friends to back them up when they're being attacked or argued with on this board. You have said not a single thing about CF. You've just been defending your friend, and it's totally unnecessary. Unless you're going to talk about CF too, your presence isn't welcome here.

And DAMNIT! I could've sworn you snorted crack!!! Me and my lies! I'm ashamed of myself. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Emily, maybe you havent heard. ccflewallen, has been banned for his cruel and harsh remarks, of which guys have been full of the last two days and he didnt try to have anyone banned for pushing him around. He just took it and kept going. Like I said, he said some unnecesssary stuff, but to be banned? Whatever...

Ok warning here I am bringing stuff up again. I have been out of town and I just have something to say. Ok i did have this thing all written out but I think it was way off topic and would have started things up again. I just want to say I am a chirstian. I have had my own personal experiences with my faith. But I will not tell someone it will be the same for them...I am also not saying I was healed or anything like that. I have my hard times i have lived some of the horrors of cf and I know I have alot more to see. My faith helps me through it not heal me with some miricals...although that would be awesome. My faith gives me peace about things. Like I said its hard to explain, and I wont tell someone it will be the same for them. Sure maybe you can find peace but health wise no way is it the same.

I really think Chris was trying to start trouble...I mean if you really meant you werent trying to cause trouble you would have stopped threads ago. Now you have gotten yourself banned.

The other thing is this. If people are so concerned about the negativity here I think your just in denial. denial isnt just a river in egypt. lol ok that was stupid. Anyway my point is if your a cfer saying this forum is to negative then you are in denial. You yes have probably seen alot of hard times with your health but not to the point of where others have and it scares you alot. So you dont want to see it and assume others dont want to either. You want to live in a life of denial until it happens to you. Like others have said this is a place to share, most of the time that means rant and rave. We rant and rave here because most of us hate to complain in our personal lives, we dont want to burden our loved ones with the pain we go through and our thoughts they worry enough without having to worry about what we are thinking. The other reason is because we know others here will understand what we are talking about without alot of explaination. Anyway I know most of this was said, if not all of it ( i cheated and didnt read all of it). I just wanted to say this.

Emily made me snort pop up my nose last night with her comments and it BURNED. All part of your master plan to do away with me, eh Emily? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I dont think he realized the trouble he would start. There were a few exaggerations about what he said.

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr>You yes have probably seen alot of hard times with your health but not to the point of where others have and it scares you alot.

I know Chris, and yes he has experienced many CF related problems, but most of his struggles had nothing to do with CF, so he hasnt had time to simply focus on CF his whole life. He knows what could happen, hes 26 years old.

Again you are all assuming he the bad person here and that he is out to start trouble. You dont even know the guy for goodness sakes

And since he's banned we aren't likely to. You get the same answer as his other friend. Contribute something worthwhile or leave.

I always talk about how I wish people would havce a positive outlook on life, and how if they did, they would be less stressed out and worry less, and their quality of life would improve. And no one ever gets mad, until I came here that is. It bothers me to hear that people refuse to consider their attitude toward CF can affect how your health is. If you have any condition whether it be cancer, CF, or whatever, the worse you make it out to be, the worse it may be. Of course there exceptions, but there is certainly a link between a positive attitude and good health.

I have a great and positive attitude about my CF, yet I am still dying. I wish you would just stop what you are saying now because your making it worse for yourself. And I have another brother with CF and my other brother is mentally retarded and we have been going through a bad patch with everyone for the past 5 years now and it stresses me out and makes me feel sad upset and alone. Yet I still try to be positive but everyone goes through times of depression, it's normal. It would be anormal if you were always positive that's not how it works. So to say a person would do better by having a better outlook on life is pure rubbish.

Life is tough, bottom line. Life is also great many times, bottom line. If someone is frustrated and wants to vent, and I'm having a great day, I surely don't let it affect my day-but I do offer support. Every person deals with issues differently, to each his own. There comes a point when enough is enough though, and that's what the issue was here. He tripped once and we told him he offended us. He tripped again and started insulting us and making it all about us, then he kept tripping. I am sorry my friend but I can't look past that. Once, accidental. Twice, maybe accidental still-nobody is perfect. Keep doing it-there's something wrong here.

I am usually a positive person, I think I bring a lot to this board, as do countless others, some who frequent and some who only come occasionally. But, I have bad days, I DO come on here and bitch and moan and I appreciate the support that I get. Some people tell me to snap out of it, some let me simmer in it for a while, some point out the good, some agree with me, some don't. Everyone has days like this, why not come to this forum where people can at least understand what you are struggling with. Theres no need to be fake, there is enough of that already in the world!

Reread my post my dear. I wasnt talking to just Chris. I was using 'you' as a general term. As in most people who dont like all the negative talk here are in denial about the disease. I have seen it to many times.

Nicole I am like you, I try to be postive alot. And it is true keeping postive does affect your health. And like you said sometimes there is no control over it no matter what. If someone is postive all the time no matter what happens to them I agree its abnormal.

I can't believe this has gone on as long as it has.
Honestly.
We all have had bad moments in our lives.
Woo for Chris for not having many related to CF. Good for him. But for the most part we have.
To have him come on here and say 'hey look at the positive, be happy all the time, it will affect your outlook' is like a slap in the face even though it's not meant to be 'all the time.'
Especially when <i>you</i> come here and say that his life isn't about CF. He said it, so don't try to put words in his mouth, or interpret it for him.
If we want to make this a contest about who's had the worst life and who needs to have a positive outlook on life because it'll make life all mary-sunshine bright then honestly go find another place to post.
I'm sure he's had problems, but life is composed of problems.
And we all have had our share outside of CF.
I, personally, could tell you stories about my life that would make you cry.
I agree with miesel and say 'contribute something positive or leave'
Normally I'm not like that, but so far you've done nothing to contribute to the boards, and just stirred up controversy.
As for the 'reread my post dear' make it clear dear, not the ever present vagueness that tends to invade your posts. If you want to be a contributing member of the boards, try to be clear and precise in your posts.

Well, Chris DID say a lot of stupid crap, whether he is "apoligetic" or not. But I have to go out on a limb and agree with the "life is not about CF" part. Life, for the most part, is what you make it.

Also I tend to agree with Mockingbird to a certain extent that some of you MIGHT have been a little more harsh than necessary, and may have jumped to a few conclusions about him. I dont know what he meant by anything so I am keeping my mouth shut, but I hope he has learned a valuable lesson.

You cant say things and expect everyone to interpret them the way you want or meant. We cant see each other or hear each other tone or anything. How you say something can be as important as what you say, but we dont always know"how" something is said. We are just reading here, and we have buttons that might be pushed whether you are trying to push them or not.

I didn't like what chris said either. But I don't think he said anything so bad to get treated the way he did. Especially getting kicked off the site. So we don't agree with what he said we are ADULTS, stop reading his posts. I think it is sad that this blew up and people could not agree to disagree.

I think Chris was a dork who (by doing one of the tackiest things possible, evangelizing a sick atheist) ended up in a hole, and didn't realize he needed to stop digging.

I also think the whole incident was hilarious, and had I been around to reply in real-time, would have enjoyed the joking greatly.

WinAce is right, Chris just didn't know when to stop. And I'm sure I'm on the list of people who 'attacked' him. When he first joined this forum, I didn't like what he had to say at first, and we got into a small spat, but after he clarified I apologized and said that I would try to look at things from his vantage point. I TRIED to be nice to this guy! But he continued to make posts that, I believe, he purposly made to start a debate. Hell, he started two seperate threads about the same thing and just wouldn't let it go! It's as though he wanted to fuel the flames, so I'm not sorry that he got the boot. He clearly wasn't going to stop. I have nothing against his religion, either, I just don't think what he said was called for. I'm all for defending your opinion, but in doing so he offended a lot of people here...repeatedly. Preaching about 'negativity' isn't what this site is all about. It's a shame that he had to be banned, but hopefully he'll have learned something here.

But at least the jokes were good. We rode dragons and unicorns, got magical advice, snorted pop, and tried to get good ol' JC to resurrect the dead. Unfortunatly, it's back to the drawing board on the last one. lol.

It wasn't a total loss. I laughed harder than I have in forever. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
