It appears to me that the general assumption being made is that in a specific Minority Forum, everyone will agree! Of course, as shown here, we will all not agree. We can be just as supportive here, as in a special forum. It can't be a forum just for those who view their minority issues their way, and discounting other's minority issues viewpoints, can it? I, personally, have had difficulty with responses by making a statement, as this thread did. (((Sweet))) imo if you would present your own issue for support, I feel the response would be different. We are the same members... we weren't against you, but voicing our opinions; I also felt that is what you wanted to hear... about needing a special forum: not about you wishing support for your feelings.
