    Well said, red! I always thought this site was created to encourage support for people during their times of illness, trauma and stress. I get very frustrated with the people that ignore that mission in favor of being nasty or their questionable activites.

    yes, unfortunately I've met a few of those too. Not any easier to spot them here than in the RW either, but we do tend to stick together here when the trolls show themselves. Better than the RW.

    Thanks buddhaslight. It's a great way to meet people from all walks of life you never would otherwise. But as an ep friend of mine said last night, "sometimes I step right in the crap before I realize it". LOL

    I agree. I'm a very shy person in nature and being able to open up here has given me the strength and ability to begin opening up more in the RW.

    I'm with you Red. I hate to see the comments & stories that are nothing but negative & hurtful. It's hard not to take it personally when we cut our hearts open and bare our souls here. ForeverHeart makes a really good point. We are RW people so if we can be compassionate here, why not in the RW too? It's not so easy though is it .. at least not for me. It's hard enough sometimes to just let myself be real here, the RW is far scarier. This site gives us a place to learn not just about others but really, about ourselves.

    I believe that wholeheartedly too FH. I just can't picture all people on here to be false simply because it's the Net. People don't work that way. There are good and bad here as in the RW, it just still shocks me at times to see it so blatantly here from someone so young. **Hugs** my friend.

    Keep your faith TRL. I have been impressed with the compassion shown to others on this site. If there is such compassion here it is in the RW too. The people here are RW in virtual form. **hugs**

    Thanks guys, I really do appreciate both of you. I guess some little so 'n' so got to me last night and hit me in the wrong spot. I'm good now, but I just had to let it out. He's young and he'll find out soon enough it doesn't pay to alienate people.

    Unfortunately, Red, just as in the real world some people just cannot feel sympathy or empathy for others. I don't know if that's because life has hardened them or if it's because they have lived such a pampered life that they believe everyone is like them.

    You are a great friend and have great friends, and in the end that is all that is important!
