Why all the questions?

Every post seems to need a question tacked onto the end or no one says much in response. I suppose it's a different way of doing things...not quite used to being so directed. Personally I enjoy all kinds of posts...observations, questions, thoughts, insights, favorites....I can ask my own questions. I'm sure this post will be met w/hostility but it's not meant to be critical...just an observation.

Why do you feel that this will be met with hostility? I don't feel particularly hostile so I hope that's not a disappointment!

I guess it comes down to weather you think answers are more important than questions. I for one enjoy being asked questions, especially if its one I haven't asked myself. (hostile free comment)

Tommy, don't know...I think I need a better understanding of this community. I'm trying to sort through some crap and I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, on one hand, and on the other hand I don't care and on the other hand....wait...I've only got 2 hands...I'm very confused right now.

Chrysalis,
No, I'm just trying to understand how this community works and I'm a bit confused. I don't think answers are more important....I just think questions don't always needto be stuck on at the end..I think it limits the conversation.

Cos it's however people feel.If people want to share an experience...the best way is to ask too.That way it's more of a community.
Better than trying to act cool about everyone and be a yes man.
Just like asking, like in real life

Right Pluck, but do you feel you always have to tack on a question? That's a question,btw, that I felt I had to tack on in order to communicate.

Nah.I like asking people about things that may be more widespread.so it makes me know whether the things I am concerned about relate to BPs as a whole.
I like reading about other people's angles on a discussion.
Discussions are usually prompted with a question, I suppose.They veer off but tend to flow too.

Interesting....thank you Pluck.

I like asking questions so I can learn more. I've always "asked" a lot in my life and I have a lot of knowledge because of it (takes a bow). lol!! I like to know other people's opinions and experiences and stories to better understand my own. But, thoughts and insights are nice too. Great observation.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
