My turn

I don't feel this place as cliqueish (and that was a reason I stayed, unlike on so many other MH places I tried to use).

Each places has their feel though. I just miss the old feel of this place a bit. At one point it seemed this would become crazyboards with hugs (a weird "pro-med" place that looks hilarious by the forum description, but then you realize there's nothing more than being pro-med to it). I like that PC is more inclusive and you don't get sneered at for mentioning out of box treatment and ideas. I just hope it stays that way. There's too many "shrinks word is a law" communities out there. Some of us need something else.

I appreciate the input, and understand what you mean. I have similar relationships with several members on a nursing forum that I frequent, and for all we know we might be seen as cliquish ourselves, even though we're really not. We are leaders, though, and we have to be aware of how we use our influence because we really do set the tone for the entire board.

You, Trippin', and several others I can't think of at the moment are the de facto leaders of this forum, and I for one pay attention to what y'all have to say, because you handle your illness so differently than most of us do. I learn from you guys every time I visit here.

Oh believe you me my friend, I watch what I say. I use a magnifying class and a fine toothed comb before hitting "submit".
