I think that discontent is enevitable when people get very wrapped up in eachother's lives. We are here to support each other and to add humor to what is yet a very touchy subject. Some people have more severe problems than others. What it seems is happening is that some are failing to realize that others have some very severe emotional problems. Those emotional problems may surface on Babble and even in our own lives, if we allow ourselves to get too close. The only problem is deciding where to draw the line. I hope I am by NO means opening up a healing(? is it) wound or pointing fingers because I am not involved or do not care to be with any of the situation. What I am saying is that what we need to realize is the whole point of this service, that I don't want to lose over something like this. We are here to help eachother. Obviously, we are at different stages of the healing process. And what happened in the past should possibly stay there. Maybe I shouldn't talk because I don't know exactly what happened, but I do know that we are here because we have problems. But I think it is only adding to the problem by exploiting and dwelling on it. And maybe we really shouldn't point a finger without examining our own old threads and rereading them carefully? I know that people have really been hurt in the past and that is unfortunate but the rest of us aren't here to do that. We just want to get better too. Sorry if this comes across as "preachy" but can't we chose to speak to whom we want (and I hope it doesn't exclude me now)and go from there? just my 2 cents, for what it is worth. Karen
