Speechless...

semi's picture

Can't we all agree that it might be a good idea at this point - the speechless thing I mean? We have people personally attacking people for personally attacking other people for complaining about personal attacks on people resulting from posts that may or may not have anything to do with you personally (and yes, this was supposed to sound ridiculously convoluted).

I'm certainly not going to go into detail on my opinions (trying for that speechless thing again) but seriously this is a little out of hand I think, can we stop now?

Nobody should leave the site, but I think there are several of us who will step (no put intended) back a bit at this point. The whole purpose of this site it to help each other - I hope you and everyone else will continue offering and asking for help and support on these posts, I'm new here and it's been a great help in some tough moments!

i just think we've all really gotten away from what this site is for...helping each other and offering advice. at times, that means dissenting points of view. im not saying it is or isnt anyones fault specifically...we've ALL contributed at some point. all this arguing and division is driving really wonderful, helpful people away and i think thats ALL dawn is trying to do by freezing these posts. shes not trying to censure, she just trying to stop all the arguing bewteen us. there ARE still people who post here bc they need help and advice, and do take it to heart. there are others who post simply what worked or didnt work for them, in an effort to help. and then there are those who post simply to boast their opinion. whichever category u fall in is not my place to judge, that is within yourselves. all im asking is that we really stop to think what we are accomplishing by all this negativity and get back to being the FAMILY that we all once were. bc we all desperately NEED each other, or we wouldnt be here.

Seems to me, the way to get ST back to the way we all know and love, is for us all to post MORE and encourage the kind constructive discussion we need.

Don't leave me! I need you!

I think I'm no longer comfortable posting here, to be quite frank. I feel there are some people who just want to be jerks to be jerks, and that is not supportive of one another. I can not abide it, and I will not. My first month here was wonderful, and for that, I'll always be grateful. However, one out of three are not great odds. Plus, I'm uncomfortable voicing my opinion in some instances because the responses to a dissenting idea are treated with such disrespect.

To every thing there is a season.

I am sorry you feel that way, you must not have heard the news... ST is awaiting a much overdue update. I can't wait to hear about what is coming. Girl, please...just stay away from the jerks, they will take care of themselves...Don't leave us !!!

I came to this site to get support to deal with a lot of the same issues you all are going through and I have gotten some responses that I have not cared for but never anything really nasty. That being said I try to take the high road and if I see someone writing responses or posting that I think are just way out of line I tend to just ignore it/them. I do feel some people have been attacked and I feel bad for those that have. BUT most of you have just been absolutely wonderful and I want to thank those of you that have supported me when I am down and I wanted to let you know how much better that made me feel when I was down in the dumps and didn't feel like anyone understood where I was coming from - so even though I don't have the opportunity to get on here as much as I like - each and every one of you women are special and you are NOT ALONE. PEACE ALWAYS!

Very -very- rarely do I ever involve myself in the flaming debates and discussions on this site (or any site for that matter). To me it's just unnecessary stress and drama that I don't need. If I ever do get involved, it's to send someone a private message to let them know how I feel or give them some background on the situation.

We all care about our SKids and we all want to do what we believe is best for them. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. That's what really matters.
