Yes you assumed correctly...I did sign up becasue of terri. I read on this board for three days before I signed up. I saw what wonderful caring people were here ( for the most part) and joined......maybe I made a mistake.
Well, if you did, I've been making a mistake since '98. Stick around. There are many very good people here.
To me,you are more than welcome to be here, sfimom.
And may the Lord bless your little children+
No, emotions are running high, we are all very upset over this, and I am sure I and others would enjoy getting to know you. There are many fine peope here, even cajungril ain't all that bad. You just caught her at a bad moment.
NO, you did NOT make a mistake. There are more caring people on this thread and I think you realize that which is why you began posting. You have to develop a thick skin on this forum. I have been here for more than 4 years and in the beginning I was nice to everyone and never said anything that would get me flamed. Even in anonymity I didn't want people to think badly about me and give me a hard time.
Well, I am over that and personally don't care anymore. The truth is the truth. People will disagree at FR. The nasty ones post as they do (and no I'm not including cajungirl here) imo, because they like to fight and seem to relish getting us to quarrel. I can finally tell them how I feel.
But if someone disagrees and is not mean, but reasonable, we need to respect that, act with civility and agree to disagree.
My advice, sfi, mom, is to ignore the nasty posts. People trying to make trouble hate to be ignored. :)
Hang in there. You're initial instincts about people on THIS thread were correct.
