I have been away for awhile and struggling with my weight loss. I came back here for some support and freindship. I can't believe what is going on(again). I am not sure I want to come back. I have enough to deal with IRL and don't need on-line drama too. I am going to have to give it some thought.

Carol,

I hope you come back long enough to read this post. This board is full of posters who care about each other deeply. We support each other through thick and thin. We know what it is like to fall down and we help each other up.

There are a few posters who, for lack of a better description, forget that we are not perfect and that we have feelings. When we see a member being given a subtle or not so subtle jab - we are like fierce mother bears rising to defend our own.

It is because of the caring that this board seems to take such offense from some members.

Come back and meet some of the nicest posters and the best supports you will ever find. There's me (I'm Furry), Shawna, Rely, Amy, Dawn, Des, Mary, Kerstin, Sarah, Jenn, Linda, Tina, Brenda just to name a few...too many to name in fact - my minds grows foggy.

Carol,

We are trying to straighten out all the "Baby Momma Drama" as we speak, but certain people insist on continuing the attacks on others(to be unmentioned). I really hope you stay here and just put everyone who you notice acting childish on Ignore on your profile. Like Shawna, I am starting again today and I need lots of support. It would be nice to have someone new to share thoughts and tips with.

Carol...I really hope you change your mind and return to the board.

There are many days I too am frustrated with the dramas that go on here but I've learned to block it out and ignore it - none of it is deserving of my attention. Once I notice a posting going 'bad' I just don't visit it anymore and try to focus on the more positive/fun ones.

Today seems particularly horrible here, and I want to scream "PEOPLE JUST LET IT GO!" but then I'd be participating in the whole thing. And frankly, I've dealt with worse situations and I can't let this stress me - there are more important things in this world.


Hope to see you on here again soon!

Cheers

(((Carol))))

I hope you do change your mind, and stay with us. I understand how you feel. It wasn't so long ago that I felt the same way you do. There were a few wonderful people who responded to my post, and helped me rethink my decision. And I am grateful to them for caring enough to respond. There are some wonderful people here who will be supportive of you. Just try hard to focus on them and their positive posts. ***Hugs***
