apology

[Guest guest]

Ellen,

I was a bit disturbed by your post about , but so

what? This is a forum and those of us on it are here because we have

fear, uncertainty, trouble coping, medical dilemmas, etc. Everyone on

here is liable to post something disturbing to others at times, or downright

inappropriate. If it is overbounds, they should be called on it.

But minor ripples of sensitivity are a dime a dozen on

a list such as this – we are dealing with a big and on-going crisis in

our lives.

To even consider leaving the list is far more harmful to the

group than any ill-thought statements you might, or might not, make. You

post often, share experience and offer support. If you offended some

people – well, I am sure some have offended you. Just because I’ve

called my husband a jerk when I shouldn’t have, doesn’t mean I

decided to abandon marriage!

Please stay; please accept that if you make some mistakes

someone will say something, and you may often vehemently disagree as to whether

you were right or not.

That’s what a forum is. I am sure I speak for

many who want you to stay. But I appreciate any “bias”

shows, as it seems to mostly lean towards getting at the truth.

But I don’t think liking is a prerequisite here

for group membership. She has a huge fan club, of which I am a member,

and can well withstand a few naysayers.

We all seem to be too super-sensitive these days.
