> Thanks for addressing some of the anxieties people are having. Another misunderstanding may be that you can only share your own posts. In fact, you can share on Facebook just about anything that's online. And you can explain why you're sharing it, too. Hmm, maybe "share" is misleading, since you can share what's not yours?

> Bobor lose you job, or friends, or family members. I just guess you'll never see it our way. As a mental health person you can't understand how it is from OUR view, just your own. Which again makes me feel lab ratty and you are the person peering over me, wondering how I tick? This has become somewhat a perplexing situation for me. I just cant understand how you can't understand how we feel. It is, and I asked my own p-doc about this and he understands how we feel, so why can't you. Perhaps this is not really about us, it is our lives, pain and feelings posted all over here, but for you, it is just work or something I don't know what it is to you, I am not in your head, but we are hurting people that prefer to tell our IRL friends, via facebook, twitter or real interactions, what we want. Babble is a place we have needed to help us sort out what we want, feel, or think. We just want the ability to choose who knows what. We can all sign up for twitter or facebook any time and if we don't link the two to our babbler personality then that should tell you we DON"T want to and the why, where it is anxiety or whatever is not important. Or so this is how I feel it should be. But again, you don't understand.
I am glad the links or buttons are gone but you still can get to each one of them through your twitter site and that is what still bothers me.
sigh..............and shaking head over the shame of all this.
