In the spirit of Thanksgiving

[Lil Honey]

There are some members here who have no conscience when slamming other members and calling others names. It is sad, really, to think that still today, people have to belittle someone else in order to feel better about themselves. Most of the time, their negative behavior gets them all the attention.

 

I wanted to start this thread, because I want to focus on some good people on this board (for a change).

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to those who consider another member's feelings. I don't mean "feelings" in a girly sort of way. What I mean is that everyone has something in their life to overcome, something to worry about, some stress or something about their experiences that cause their POV. It is far more effective (IMHO) to ask a person what is bothering them (or simply chat with them) in order to understand them. The people who will do that are here, at this support board, for the right reason.

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to those few members who will stand up for another member. I feel confident that members here are perfectly capable of defending themselves, but WHY should they HAVE to? This is a SUPPORT board!

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to those few members who will reach out to another member and make them feel welcome. THAT is what this place is about, isn't it?

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to those who may not understand, but make the attempt. We can all learn something from each other.

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to the members who respect others. An intelligent exchange of ideas is far more inviting than slamming another.

 

I want to say, "Thank you," to the few members who have the patience to answer questions that another might have. Too few have the patience to continue a conversation with someone who might simply not understand a concept.

 

There are too few of your kind here, but I have noticed you. I know who you are. I appreciate you. You are the reason I remain here.

That was really nicely put Lil. I agree as well. I will say there have been times I may not have been so nice when replying to others post. Not that I'm a name caller, but sometimes I can come across a little harsh in my answers/opinons. But for the most part I try to come up with some advice based on me putting myself in anothers shoes. Very nice post!

Awesome post Lil Honey!!!

 

And I'd like to say thank you too, to everyone. I don't think I've ever really gotten anything too bad from anyone. And I try to keep in mind that sometimes what's written comes across harsher then intended. I know mine have in the past, and I apologize for that.
