it's been suggested multiple times here at ds to simply click and move on to another post if something offends you.
after you have already read and absorbed the words how can you just move on to another post when you are now filled with whatever negative emotions the previous post started in you?
this is a discussion board.
does that mean that we are only supposed to enter into a discussion that we agree with or is it proper discussion board etiquette to enter into a discussion that you disagree with?
if it is the later then how can we do that without fear of being attacked?
i find myself not responding to some posts and then feeling disgusted with myself and this type of forum and just shutting the sight off.which means i'm not giving or getting support, all because i feel like i shouldn't say what i really feel for fear of starting a cyber war

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...
Maybe I'm wrong, but that is what I thought this board was about when I joined.
i wish there was a book on online etiquette
Chill out and be yourself, treat everyone just as you would if you were face to face...easy enough, right?
I know when people post a topic about their blurring vision, there is someone who is going blind or already is.
When someone complains about falling into things and leg pain from walking, there is someone in a wheelchair reading it.
At some point someone is scared and they want to know if this is whats happening to them and if someone can relate to their feelings about bladder and cognitive problems.
Sometimes I feel anger because someone is writing about things they did or our fixing to do, only because I know I can't. I am glad they can, I would never wish them to be worse only better, the anger comes from frustration present in my own body.
I We all forget at times that we are all on different levels. We need compassion for everyone. I am so guilty of not thinking before I post. But I think if we think about the many faces of MS that will be reading it that will help us all to get along.
I was thinking the other day about this. I couldn't come up with a good analogy so I didn't post it.
But what do you do if you see someone with a problem you've been intimately familiar with and no longer deal with it? Do you just say "oh, sorry you have it", or do you say what Helped it?
kisses, em
like the others said people don't really get mad at the Discussion, they get angry when someone is intentionally mean. I think we all have the same goal to get well.
I think everything is going cool right now I am so happy. Just in time for the holidays!!!
