I loved this board when I found it, so much help and support here. All of the sudden I see this arguing back and forth, that seems to get more attention than the "recovery" topics do.
Kind of a "downer" if you ask me people come here looking for others to support them, Not to go away from here feeling worse than you did when you signed on.
Just a thought, I think all of you guys are great. But, shouldnt people find another forum to argue on?
Everyone have a great weekend.
Jodi,
it seems to pop up every 3 or 4 days...dont know why...modearators do their best, but yes it is sad that it has to happen here....no place is perfect...egos and personalities clash and its all to easy to get caught up in...there should be the ability to DELETE ones message in case you think better of it after..
I know you can edit it once, but once you have posted again you have no other altenatives to remove a hastily thought message, which may hurt someone...
There should be a chat room here and if argunments start, are taken to a private chatroom.....wonder if its possible....
I do a lot of fund raising and if its a matter of money to get one up here, and if others want one I would seriously consider raising the cost to open one.
this board has saved my life so far. i kid you not.
And i have been in the middle of some nasty hurtling....know how much it hurts and can hurt recovery....it was a real test to me when it happened and its a miracle i didnt use to calm the emotions...fighting here, personal slaps shouldnt be allowed in any way shape or form..
Thanks for the post. You are wise.
Hugs
Ali

Well said Jodi.
It is an indication of selfishness when we allow petty disagreements to corrupt a message board such as this.
God bless.

I think a chat room would be a great idea, It would allow people a place to vent. This board has also been a new found godsend to me, a great place to gather strength in numbers.
I just hate to think of someone coming onto this board for the first time, but didnt post or stick around because they didnt feel "comfortable" with the atmostphere, As a new comer here, you would have no idea how helpful this place really is.
Take it Easy All!

Hey Ali- My identical Avatar Buddy :)
What kind of fundraising do you do?? Just interested. Have been trying to think of some things to keep my mind busy. I am am full time stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 yr old, been trying to come up with something that would allow me to stay home, yet keep my wandering mind occupied.
Just curious
Take Care!

I agree.The board is a recovery site and the name calling,drama and other BS that goes on here is not unique here or any other sites Ive been to.Some sites have more moderators so it doesnt get is as volatile as I've witnessed onhere before they shut it down....but, nevertheless it still happens.You cant get this many personalities together and have a consistent love fest.
I've actually has some good learning stuff come out of it.Some people I have despised are now some good friends.I've also learned how being mean and hateful to some people here did not make me feel good and have had the opportunity to make some ammends.Ive also learned how I can disgree with the way somone may work their program and still not only like them but have a whole new respect for them.
Ive got a lot to learn about interacting amoung people.One thing is I might think my sarcasm is clever and cute, but people get hurt by it.I need to know that when it does, I can look at it.Im not trying to be obsequeious about it but genuinely want to apologize.
I would like to say I dont care what you think about me,but I do.
Lat week when I got into it with a couple of members all I could think about was how cruel I used words to piss someone else off.
I think you can learn good lessons from this but Im not advocating it as a way of communicating.
I really love this board and I know it helps people.If you are new,please dont buy into our bad behavour.
If you get mad.Leave a couple of days and then see how you feel.
I may not agree with you but that sure doent mean i dont like you.
We are expresssing ways we stay clean and on other matters
