Dear Malady, I know how bad it can get on internet support boards. I've witnessed it myself time and again. I've seen people attacked vehemently over and over. The flaming that went on was horrendous to say the least. If you took the side of the person being flamed, then the flamers would attack you as well. And it would just go on and on. It was hopeless. There were too many who seemed to thrive on that type of atmosphere. I left those sites and never returned. I hope peace of mind is within your reach and a sense of safety can be achieved. I seek the same for myself and wish it to all who desire it as well. Keep well and safe. Calm
