i don't really want to know, i'd just like to say that as a new member, and someone who has no idea what's going on, looking for help and support on this board is getting frustrating with all these argumentative type posts on the front page. i don't understand why a place that's supposed to be a loving and supporting environment would be so fraught with conflict. isn't it possible to just ignore whoever may be causing a problem? i don't know, it's just a suggestion. i'm trying this idea of an online support group out for the first time, and i have to say that drama is definitely something i try to avoid. just a thought...it has the potential to drive away new members who are here for help.
thanks for listening.

ps. i can't exactly avoid these posts when their contents aren't obvious from the subject line. negativity has no place in my life, and it shouldn't in the lives of anyone with chronic illness to deal with (or anyone at all, for that matter.)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Messages with FM questions, requests for help, etc. get lost in the volume of posts that have nothing to do with the subject.
One post that continues on and on would be a completely different story. I see that on several sites here, but each day multiple NEW game posts pop up, which floods the board.
Most everyone here is for friendship, support, information and helping those newly diagnosed.
The games completely took over and engulfed the board and people stood up to say something about it. Personal attacks were made against these members, inforamtion from personal profiles were copied and pasted to the board and other mean spirited non-productive things happened here.
New members and long-time friends left the site because they couldn't stand seeing all of the garbage.
It's hard to avoid the multiple game posts when they take up half of the first page.
Your right and we hope that it will fix itself ?
You have to stick in here honey ..
much love to ya!

just reply to a post you do have interest in !!!
So much gets lost in translation when typing which is why I wish we had a better choice of fonts, italics, etc so that things could be better expressed.
All I can say is hang in there. You will find friends here as well as information, suggestions and support on those crappy days where you just wanns SCREAM! at the world.
Most open boards have fights, it's just par for the course. If you see negative posts, don't respond. If you open one and it turns negative, close it. If you need some help, start a new topic and put "help" in the title. I'm quite certain that people will respond.
Last but not least, welcome to DS!
I am with you. I just can't take any stress. I start going into a high anxiety state and the pain just personifies. Please do stay - normally this does not go on in here. Hope to hear more from you. sue
WELCOME!
I totally agree with you. We all have enough stress and drama in our lives, this should be a safe escape for us to discuss our issues and also to make new friends and I personally like some of the distractions, also, just not the drama. I hope you stay!
I'm new here too and I know exactlu what you mean. Whenever I would click on a thread that had arguing going on I would click off. I always have been able to find threads with good info, friendly, caring people as well as good clean fun.
I've decided to stay because I have made some good friends already and I beleive things will calm down.
Since we all share a terrible illness and therefore can really say that we know how the other feels, we need to remember that when we post anything.
Remember the Golden Rule?
Lots of love and hugs to everyone.
