first time PO'd here.

Back awhile ago I posted my opinion. Recently a fellow MSer slammed me for that opinion. First time I got POd at anyone on this site. I nave been a member since 2007, so that's not too bad, huh? The byline at the bottom says that we should respect others' opinions. Hmmmm!!!!???? I will re-iterate the opinion I have that I feel some celebrities do not deserve respect for trying to make money off fellow MSers with juicers or any thing. Are they helping us or themselves? It is very clear to me. and if anyone thinks that I am out to lunch, then I will enjoy my meal.

Don't know the history to your ehhhh hmmmm upset? But I agree - totally, hate it when the rich and famous who get to join this exclusive group use their notoriety to get others to buy stuff which will benefit them, be it directly or indirectly. That's bullshit and would seriously tic me off as well.

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I, as is everyone on here. It's not - or shouldn't be - what you say but rather how you say it. Sorry you got grief, forget it and move on - your experience was the exception not the tile.

I would ignore the person who upset you. Sorry that it happened but unfortunately there are "predators" (for lack of better term) who will try to promote/sell a so called cure or product. They pee me off too but I don't comment as that is what they want as then their post stays on front page. Let it die quickly without comments etc.
Sorry you were upset. Should report the person too.

thanks for the support here. I really just needed to vent, and I lost no sleep over it, lol. I did have to eat my own words though, 'cause I tell my kids, when they are PO'd that if that's all they're PO'd about then their life is pretty darn good.
My life is pretty darn good today, too :)
thanks again

remember the saying, "opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one" and move on like Alexana says. Don't let one person's response affect you from coming back to this support group. There are plenty of people who care, and want to be a part of your life.
