"Some of what is being discussed IMO is administration issues, and might be best to not discuss here, but let the admin/mod team deal with it should it arise with a member......................................."

my reply to this since it is directed at me and what I posted:

Since it is not a members job to discipline and suggest that I leave these issues to the moderators I am going to -- whats that word---

IGNORE that another member is trying to tell me I may have been wrong in posting what I did.

The fact that my post is still here and I have not recieved anything from the moderators and administrators says I can consider my post as being appropiate for this site and this thread.

now for the other problem directly relating to my post reference to other sites -

For me, knowing that someone is a member of many online sites does nothing. This site is different and problems arise, imo, when members are on more sites and especially if they come from a site that allows the bickering and backbiting; it takes an hour or so on this site to assimilate back to the supportive nature of PC, IMO............................................................

I felt and still do feel that it is ok to discuss my experiences on many on line support groups because there is nothing in the rules here that say I can't in fact Doc John himself has from time to time brought up discussions about other on line groups for example - myspace, others have shared thier experiences with other on line groups and even have shared their own happenings on their own websites that they have started and are up and running.

My point in meantioning my other online groups and in fact I have put it in my post is that the other sites I am on they DON'T have all this problem.

They use the IGNORE icon and don't subject themselves to what they cannot handle.

My point was that I felt if these people know how to get along and use the IGNORE icon and not subject themselves to posts and threads that upset them on other sites they CAN do so here too.

Thank you though for your opnions on what I posted for everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
