Well even after this post, I continued to be scolded and told not to intrude on her thread. I was also publicly chastised by another senior member for telling the first one to go to hell; just 30 minutes after I composed a letter of support and compassion to the second lady to publicly embarrass me!
I figured out how to use the ignore feature

I didn't realize that threads were by invitation only.
In hindsight, the thing that really ticked me off the most was that I was disrespected publicly. Obviously, they can see that I haven't been around long and if they had a problem with ANYTHING that I had done, they could have at least been polite enough to send me a private message. To dress me down, several times, publicly, even after making this post and telling them that I am having a really hard time, she continued in the public forum when I told them they could have gone private. She told me if I want support to start my own thread.
IGNORE!
Vent done.... for the moment anyway....
