I really am not in a "clique" nor am I even close to being in some "in crowd" I reply when I feel I can be helpful and sometimes can't, even when I think I may be beneficial. I have major time restraints to when and how long I can be on here due to work obligations. That does not mean that I don't "like" nor "dislike" anyone. That does not mean that my heart does not go out to them when their pain is showing so raw and sad. When I signed in last night I had 512 posts in this forum alone. I for one don't have the time to read that many. So I made a choice. It has nothing to do with whether I did or did not like who initiated any one post. I have a very sporadic system that drastically needs to improve which determines what posts are read. I don't think I am alone with this predicament.

I don't think I have ever initiated a post. I think I have been supportive to many. But I do get some of what I need f rom this site. I have always thought that you get out of something what you put into it. Maybe some day I will be able to put more of "myself" into it. Those that are brave enough to I commemorate. Please do not make this into a popularity contest or an ego subject. Everyone needs something from this site and that many of us who get no support from other sources appreciate how devastating that can be when they feel rejected here. Let's please find it within ourselves to reach out no matter who they are.

Hopefully, I have not missed the gist of this whole thread, as sometimes happens. This is a support site and please let it remain as such. I am sorry that so many people are so fragile (including myself) that sometimes posts can be misconstrued. I am one of those voices that sometimes is not strong enough to voice themself. Please be kind to each other. BTW, I would use the ignore button if it was beneficial to my overall mental wellness. I hope I never have to.
