I used to love this site. Now I read about individuals leaving for whatever reasons--disagreements? I really don't know. I do know that I have read some posts where one person insulted another and bickering went back and forth. This site has radically changed since I first came on. When one of the more popular posts is in regard to sexual positions, what does that say? The support I received when I first accessed this site was marvelous. Now I feel that is no longer the case. I am so saddened by this change. I have no support group that I can go to since the one that was here folded before I was diagnosed. In good conscience, however, I don't think I can continue to visit a site where sex and bickering seem to be the hot topics. The sexual innuendos are downright offensive. I'm not against sex, but I certainly don't believe in broadcasting one's 'preferences' or talking about sex toys. This topic to me is very private. I'm not sure what it has to do with MS. I know that MS can affect one's sex drive, but the posts I've read recently have nothing to do with that. Perhaps I'll give it another week and see what happens. This site has meant so much to me. I don't want to just abandon it; I hope I don't have to.

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! I have really been turned off by a lot that has been going on here. And it saddens me as well because I need the support that I used to receive so readily here. Have you posted this up for discussion. I think you should, if you haven\'t. Perhaps the majority will agree with us and we can just all choose to ignore those discussions which are inappropriate and start getting back to dicussing the important matters at hand. I am aware of both inappropriate posts that you are speaking of and I sent a hug to the individual that was insulted in the bickering post. I really don\'t want this site to turn into this, perhaps together we can stop it.
Hey! Don\'t leave! We would miss you! If I don\'t agree with a post I just ignore it. I don\'t like to bicker or talk about sex either, but I have learned so much from some of the discussions, and I have some good friends like you.
