Whew! It's great to see someone stand up and say, "It's my life. I will make my own decisions." Hooray for you! Yes, there is no harm in being nice and being patient. I find these boards so strange. Some people are being urged to just be kind and patient, while others are urged to make a stand and be firm. And in some cases, maybe one or the other will work. And honestly, in most cases, nothing we do changes it at all. Que sera, sera. But still, choosing to make your own decisions....that's bound to piss some people off.
