I'm just catching up on this thread. Sorry all, but you all are reminding me of a bunch of school kids having a fight with a dodge ball.
Let's assume this: everyone on the bb is here for a purpose. It may not be the same purpose as say Pam, Deb, Betsey, or Triple j. Has it ever occurred to anyone that for some people this is the only place they journal, or the only place they get any praise or positive validation?
I agree with LNL, if you don't like a thread, don't read it anymore. That's simple.
Now, Betsey has started a thread to be positive. So people, drop the damn rope on this conversation.
When you can't make a decision because you are torn between your heart and your head, listen to the half with the brain.
I agree with Pam I could see the work going on here this morning. But I have to say I appreciate you all doing it.
Do you have any idea what a good example this is of communication and working through a disagreement, even if only to agree to disagree. Me being a conflict avoider, was cringing reading this and to see how it has worked out makes me feel good and hopefull of learning some of these very skills!
Thank you all for your hard work this morning.
Pam
